about me
Hi, i’m Gary – glad you’re here
01Â Behind the lens
Since you’ve found your way to my website, here’s a little piece about how I approach documentary wedding photography.
I’m a Yorkshire based wedding photographer who loves nothing more than capturing genuine, natural moments.
I’m a firm believer that the people in the photographs are just as important as the photographs themselves. It’s about connecting.  I look and search for the moments that are hidden in plain sight. You know the images, the ones you didn’t know were happening or took place because you were busy living them.
I don’t chase the obvious. I let moments unravel naturally because that’s when the true story reveals itself.
It’s not about capturing everything; it’s about photographing what matters.
.
02Â Where it all began.
Known for my signature modern – documentary style, relaxed approach beautifully created portraits
Inspiration comes from movies and National Geographic. I work 90%Â of the time in a documentary style, just natural photographs which are ideal to tell the story of your day. I do my upmost to blend in, be a guest and walk away with moments that maybe you never knew took place.
Believe me, the day will fly by. Spend the time with family and friends and I’ll capture the fun, emotions, tears and the crazy dancing of your wedding.
A husband to my beautiful wife Beata who originates from Poland. A country you will often find me in either skiing, hiking or simply enjoying the amazing food it has to offer.
I love the Lake District. Yes, it’s often wet and windy but I love the tranquility, scenery and off course the hiking. That or Poland will be my retirement dream.
A former rock drummer in the eighties and a huge 80s rock fan! I almost had my 15 minutes of fame. I grew up in Essex, and although now based in the gorgeous coastal town of Whitby I shoot weddings right across the United Kingdom, and abroad. Nothing quite beats having the sound of the ocean on your doorstep and on a winters day you’ll have the beach to yourself. I’m sounding like a complete hermit but I do love being around people.
I studied photojournalism in 1996. Worked for numerous magazines soon after before covering news stories for regional newspapers and news agencies. Today, I have shot well over 700 weddings
Ironically, I have a huge dislike being photographed but apparently i’m easy going, friendly and fairly laid back. I love dogs having had three Samoyed’s – my best friends over the years.
Testimonials
Gary did our wedding in May this year and we are delighted with the outcome. The style and quality is lovely. Gary stayed for the whole of the evening too getting some wonderful casual and non – posed pictures.
We would recommend him thoroughly.
We are so pleased with the photos he has produced for us, really good quality!
Everyone has commented how they didn’t even know they were being taken and that is exactly how I wanted it!
He captured our day perfectly and couldn’t recommend him more!!
Thanks again Gary!!

I love nothing more than capturing a wedding day in the most natural way possible. So wether you’re wedding is at a beautiful country manor or a registry office in the heart of the city, i’d love to be there.
pricing
Everything is here and hopefully there’s a package that your looking for. I now offer three packages, so if you only require limited coverage or would love to my have me for the full day so nothing is missed, I have it covered.
I’m on the cheaper side of things and I believe i’m worth it, I do take a decent photo after all.
