North Yorkshire Wedding Photographer

My photographs aren’t just about elegance of a wedding day, they capture the real human connection. They capture people as they are, not just how they look. What makes my approach feel more natural than just beautiful is the depth of emotion I capture on your wedding day.

Balancing the line between photojournalism and artistic images, I make each image gripping and timeless. Preserving moments in a way that feels more alive than memory itself.

 moments caught before they’re lost in time

Since you’ve found your way to me, here’s a bit about how I approach documentary wedding photography.

I’m a North Yorkshire wedding photographer who likes capturing real, genuine moments. I believe the people in the photographs matter more than the photographs themselves – It’s true I know. It’s about a connection. I wait, observe and let moments unravel naturally, that’s when the true story reveals itself.

I don’t look for or chase the obvious. I look for the moments hidden in plain sight. The ones you didn’t know were happening or ever took place.

It’s not about capturing everything; it’s about photographing what matters. If it tells your story, it stays. If not, it’s deleted.

Those fleeting Moments

“You can look at a picture for a second and think of it for a lifetime”

Joan Miro

Story of your wedding day

My camera is there to witness, not dictate so you get an honest reflection of your day.

I photograph people, capturing precious moments that will passed down through generations, reminders of where it all began.

So… this is about YOU – your connection, what is important to you, the smiles, the tears, the laughter; YOUR unique wedding day story. My creative storytelling style will capture the emotion of your day in a set of beautiful, honest photographs which reflect not just who you are but how your wedding day unfolds – Let me capture not just how your wedding looks but how it FEELS, from the smallest of details to the laughter, my goal is to capture moment.

Your wedding will be one of the most important days of your life, i’ll photograph all the main moments for you and also all the moments in between that you won’t have even thought of through honest, authentic photography. All the things that make your wedding day story uniquely yours.

Thank you

We wanted natural shots and Gary’s photography style was the perfect fit for us. On the day Gary blended so seamlessly in with the wedding guests, disappearing behind the scenes, capturing those unpredictable and unforgettable moments which we now have documented forever.

Literally the best decision we made for our wedding.
