Hi, I’m Gav. Thanks for getting in touch!

So the thing about me is that I am pretty transparent with what I do and how I do it. Wedding photography, how I run my business etc. For example (and I can’t prove this but you’ll just have to believe me) I’m writing this while watching Gavin and Stacey Season 1 again.

Now that I’ve got that off my chest, let’s talk wedding photography! There are (you’ve probably noticed) about 1,000,000 wedding photographers out there. In the 16 years (7 years full time) I’ve been shooting it’s deffo gone up. And considering it’s a pretty big decision, the choice can be a bit mind blowing for some. Because once you’ve worked out your budget, whittled it down to what Google/Instagram has thrown up combined with what your friends have recommended you’re probably still only down to between 5/10 options!

You may already have a favourite, possibly me, but in case it’s not I’m going to try to help you with your decision on who to trust to turn up at your wedding with a decent camera, fit in with your guests, not make you pose endlessly and deliver to you the epic story of your day in the awesome form of photography.

Basically….

Why indeed should you book me!?! I’ll hit you with a list. And these are in no particular order

• I’m full time. This is my living. This is what I do. I gave up being a terrible IT guy in 2016 to go full time and I haven’t looked back.

• I love photography. Like really really love photography. Cameras, lenses, the light, travel photography, street photography, I love documenting life with a camera. Now this may seem obvious BUT I’m not lying when I say that not every wedding photographer actually loves photography! I find it weird, but they’re out there!!

• I commit to my style of shooting. I believe that your wedding is your wedding. The photographer should be there to document the day, not build a portfolio for their Instagram! Yes I love getting a cool photo of you, but I keep the posing to only whats necessary. Check my Instagram. Family photos? Yeah, a few, mum, dad, nan, grandad, brothers & sisters. But no more than 10 minutes max. And the couple photos I aim to get done quick. I want them to be cool but I don’t want you to feel as tho you’ve had to abandon your wedding. And if there’s a sunset and you want to get a cool shot, I’m up for that.

• My portfolio is all real. What do I mean? Well, a lot of photographers are filling their portfolios with styled shoots that involve models pretending to be a real couple in some glamorous location.

• I take the day seriously but I am about as chill as possible when it comes to shooting the day. Half of the job of being a wedding photographer is getting a bunch of people you’ve never met to think you’re just a decent guy that loves films and music who just happens to be your wedding photographer! But when it comes to group shots, confetti, cake cutting etc, I am always happy to take control and herd the sheep around!

• I work hard on your day. To document the story of your day you have to get in there! I challenge myself to get photos of the people that matter. Your nan, your grandad. And not just in group shots, I want to get them chatting, laughing. These photos are for as important as the couple photos. My grandad meant the world to me, and I take that with me in to the wedding. I believe those relatives and friends are just as important as any photo moment.

• I think that’s it :D

• Make sure you give me a follow on Instagram, I love sharing on my stories, it’s a good place to get to know me @gavyophoto
