Based in the heart of Devon, GRW Photography, led by Gareth Williams, specialises in capturing your day as it truly unfolds. With more than 20 years of experience as a press photographer, Gareth brings a unique storytelling eye to weddings, focusing on genuine moments and emotions rather than stiff, posed shots.

Gareth’s goal is to blend seamlessly into your celebration, helping you and your guests feel completely comfortable. This relaxed approach means he captures those special, often unnoticed interactions and the real atmosphere of your day.

Magical!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer that captures beautiful, magical moments (without even knowing he's taken them) then Gareth is the one! Gareth effortlessly mixed in with our guests and captured photos that will be treasured forever.

Laid back!

Gareth was the perfect photographer for us! We wanted a relaxed feel where our photographer blended in and captured the day with a laid back candid style which was definitely what we received! We were keen for our photographer to capture the beauty of the venue which he did with ease and made us feel really relaxed during our couple shots! As a person, Gareth was friendly, open and just perfect for us! Highly recommended

First class!

We chose GRW Photography based on Gareth’s style of photography and after meeting Gareth on line we knew we had chosen the right man for the job. Instead of being just a photographer he was an integral part of our day, sharing and adding to the laughter and fun on the day. His photographs capture exactly the essence of our big day and we can’t thank him of or recommend him highly enough. First class and a top bloke (although his football allegiance is a bit dodgy)

Book him!

Gareth is an amazing wedding photographer. If you are reading this, take my advice and book Gareth for your wedding/event straight away! My (now) husband wasn't so bothered about arranging a photographer, but I felt it was important to get great pictures which immortalise the day forever! Despite my very high expectations, Gareth did not disappoint!

Fantastic!

Gareth was a fantastic wedding photographer to have. Not only did he listen to us about our thoughts and what we wanted, he was also happy to suggest options to make the most of the photography on our day. Nothing was too much effort and he went to a huge effort to capture as many of our guests and moments as possible on a very hot day! We've had a great laugh looking at the photos of moments we missed (you can't be with everyone all day!) Thankyou!

Unique!

From our initial contact via email, to finally meeting Gareth on the day we felt so relaxed and confident with Gareth capturing our day and the shots we got at the beach and sunset feel so special and unique.

Amazing!

Gareth attending our wedding in August and he was amazing! He was very relaxed and went with the flow which was exactly what we wanted. He managed to capture lots of gorgeous and natural moments of everyone and of the two of us. He managed to organise everyone without being overbearing. I would definitely recommend him for any wedding!

The BEST Photographer!

Like so many couples this year, we have planned and rescheduled many times. Gareth has been so accommodating even at 24 hours notice when we rearranged for a pre lockdown wedding! He is so professional whilst making everyone feel at ease and just gets stuck in! Our photos are so beautiful, and I am SO happy we found him! Thanks so much Gareth!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your photography style?

I capture moments as they unfold. My ultimate aim is for you to not even realise I’m there, but I'm also more than happy to shoot any group pictures you ask for, a confetti image, sparklers, a whole group photo straight after your ceremony is a given. I basically give you what you want but with the majority in a reportage journalistic style.

I’m a photojournalism enthusiast, telling stories with photos, and what better way than at weddings. My background is within the press industry, newspapers and glossy magazines, which I genuinely believe has helped me create a more edgy feel to my reportage style.

My 15 years as a press photographer have helped me interact with people and get the best out of situations. Newspaper and magazine editors have often told me that they can only fit one image on the page, so there has to be one picture that tells the whole story. Having the best part of around 10 hours to capture your wedding day, I feel I can truly get absorbed and portray the best of it.

What are your packages and what is included?

I can offer bespoke packages to suit your requirements, from all day coverage which includes photos of bride/groom prep right to the party at the end of the day and anything in between!

Do you require a second photographer?

I can arrange for a second photographer to shoot your day with me at an additional cost if required. Having a second photographer can really help cover the day from a different angle, so is beneficial.

How are the photos delivered?

I offer an online gallery for all clients which includes free high-resolution download of all images. Other options can include bespoke photo albums.

Are you insured?

Yes, I have full professional business insurance cover including public liability and indemnity. If your venue requires proof of this I can provide it.

Can we see full wedding galleries?

Please do get in touch, I'm happy to share links of previous weddings I have photographed so you can get an idea of my style and also see photos from a venue you may have chosen for your special day.

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Yes I can offer a pre-shoot/engagement shoot at a location of your choice. This is a great way to get to know each other, discover my photography style and feel relaxed in front of the camera.

Do you carry backup equipment?

Yes, I carry three cameras and lenses in my bag all day.

What happens after the wedding?

I take time to carefully back up and then edit your special photos. The time-frame for this can vary but I am always happy to provide a 'quick-look' selection of images, should you require photo thank you cards to be made up or want to post some onto social media before receiving the full set.

How do we book?

Please get in contact via email or phone or on my social media channels and we can go from there. I require a 20% deposit to secure your date.
