My Style of wedding photography is relaxed, fun and vibrate but cheesy. As you can see in my photos, I love to shoot couples that are madly in love so much so they can't stop smiling and laughing. The same goes for their guests. I'm all about capturing the natural emotions and moments.

So happy we booked Geoff!!

Geoff photographed our wedding in September 2025, and we honestly couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was the perfect balance of professional and personable - blending in seamlessly with our guests while capturing the most beautiful moments. Friendly, talented, and an absolute expert at what he does, Geoff exceeded all our expectations. We are over the moon with our previews and so grateful to him for being such a wonderful part of our day!!

Perfect photographer for our perfect day

We are so pleased that we chose Geoff to be our wedding photographer. We had seen his work on the internet and loved the vibrancy of his shots and the gorgeous colours. When we met him in person at a wedding fair, we knew we had to get him to capture our wedding. He is warm and genuine and really put everyone at ease on the day with his sense of humour and friendly nature. He is also an amazing photographer! He didn’t stop taking pictures all day and worked so hard to get the great shots, he even went as far as to crouch in a shrub. We all learned lots about light and texture! Our photos are stunning and we love the all the shots, both candid and posed. We can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

The happiest day

Geoff shot my wedding in September 2021, after many postponed dates during the course of the pandemic. My husband and I were nervous about being in the spotlight and having our photos taken all day, so we chose Geoff as his candid, relaxed style of photography looked like a good fit for us. The first thing that struck my husband and I on meeting Geoff was how immediately he felt like a good friend. This not only made communications easy in the lead up to the day, it also meant that on the big day, we were relaxed in his company, and he captured the most marvellous moments! My family and I could not be more thrilled with the wedding photos. Geoff is a master of his trade, his great personality played a huge part in our day, and it wouldn't have been the same without him. Thank you so much, Geoff, for being the best person we could have possibly chosen to capture the happiest day of our lives! We will treasure our photos forever 🥰 Thank you, Laura & Nick

Geoff is fantastic!

From the first meeting with Geoff we knew he was the perfect wedding photographer for us, welcoming, fun, helpful and very passionate about capturing the perfect wedding day shots for us. Geoff went over and above our expectations on the wedding day, he brought lots of smiles, so much fun and shared the excitement with everyone... even helped out with the flood at the venue and sacrificed his smart ted baker shoes getting soaked through! All the guests commented on what a wonderful photographer and lovely man he is, felt more like a friend on our wedding day than a stranger. Simon and I cannot thank Geoff enough for his hard work and amazing photography of our special day, we adore all our photos and will treasure them forever.

We LOVE Geoff!

We had a clear vision of the type of photographer we wanted for our wedding - fun, laid back and someone that would put our guests at total ease. As soon as we met Geoff at a wedding fayre we knew he was the man for the job and he didn't disappoint! He wasn't just our photographer he became a guest, and a friend. We had so many laughs with him and I cannot thank him enough for the beautiful photographs he has given us to help us remember our day forever. It was so lovely that our guest's commented how great he was too, earning himself the nickname 'Geoffers'! If you want someone fun, reliable, creative, down to earth and professional ...book Geoff!

The BEST photographer we could have wished for!

Geoff was simply amazing when it came to photographing our special day. He got straight into our vibe, was fabulous with our guests, but most importantly he was always in the right place at the right time to capture the most amazingly vibrant images. We can’t recommend Geoff enough, he’s professional and a lot of fun. Geoff you’re the best! 😊😊😊

My husband and I were very nervous about having a photographer for our wedding as neither of us feel particularly comfortable in the spot light or in front of a lense. From the moment we met Geoff we knew that he was the photographer for us, he made us and our guests feel so at ease during the day and he managed to get all of the group shots we wanted despite the snow falling! (And with very few complaints from the guests!) The moments he captured were fantastic and we couldn't be happier with collection of memories we now have from our day. We would highly recommend Geoff to any couple! He was friendly and professional, loved by all of our guests and truly made our day.
