completely blow away by his service
We had the absolute pleasure of having Gary shoot our wedding last Saturday and we were both completely blow away by his service. Gary is an exceptionally talented photographer with a fabulous way of capturing beautiful moments and real emotions. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and form a real connection which made us feel comfortable, relaxed and at ease throughout the day. He was incredibly patient taking our many group shots in the blistering sun, staying positive and calm throughout and was also wonderfully empathetic when my husband felt unwell during our wedding shots. What really stood out the most about Gary’s service was his complete and utter passion for his vocation, he genuinely loves being a photographer and this shines through in his work. There are many skilled and talented photographers out there but Gary completes stand out for his genuine personality, work ethic, professionalism and incredible passion and talent. An absolute legend and really lovely guy. I cannot wait to see our photos.

Gary is a true gentleman
Gary is a true gentleman and captured the most amazing moments during our wedding. his attention to detail is spot on and made us feel very comfortable on the day. The box he sends out with your photos in is one of a kind and is a nice touch as to the standard memory stick in a jiffy bag. not that i plan to but if were to get married again i wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone to him. 😀 Thanks for everything Gary Jude!

Gary you're an absolute star
From the moment we met Gary we felt totally at ease.We had an engagement shoot with our pug over a venue of our choice where we spent an enjoyable evening getting to know Gary and his motivations behind his amazing photography. On our wedding day Gary was there from the frantic transformation from Essex girl to bride,to the venue for the wedding,the wedding breakfast and the evening celebration. The end results were an amazing picture memories of our day where he managed to capture not only the moments but the personalities of our family and friends.We cannot begin to express our thanks for his hard work and would without a doubt recommend Gary for not only his professionalism but for his warm and friendly manner throughout the day.Gary your an absolute star.

completely blown away by the quality
We just want to say a huge thank you to Gary for our absolutely amazing wedding photos! We are completely blown away by the quality of them, the shots he has managed to capture and just the whole experience. We were let down last minute by another photographer, so found Gary by recommendation on Facebook. From start to finish he was easy to deal with, prompt with replies and just a really lovely guy. He really understood what we wanted from the day and achieved it for us! Thank you so much xxx

blends in so well with your guests
We spent the evening looking at all our wedding photos last night and we are over the moon with them, Gary has captured our day so perfectly and we cannot thank him enough for doing so! We feel so lucky that we managed to find Gary to document our day and we can’t wait to show all our family & friends the photos! Gary is so friendly and makes you feel very relaxed in front of the camera, on the day he blends in so well with your guests that you forget he is there to take the photos. We even had a couple of guests on the day asking for his details for their future weddings! We will definitely be recommending Gary to anyone needing a photographer. Thanks again Gary for everything you’ve done for us and we hope to see you again in the future! Love from Corine & Steve x

We couldn't have asked for anyone better
We were firstly quite nervous about our engagement shoot as neither of us were too keen on the posed awkward pictures. Straight away Gary put us at ease and explained that wasn’t his style either. The whole shoot went so well and we were blown away by the pictures. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to photograph our wedding day. He fit in with our guests so well and sometimes you forgot he was even there. Since the wedding we have had so many of our guests comment on how good the photographer was. We could not recommend Gary enough!

I shot 35 weddings in my first year. I still can't believe how far I have come so quickly.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Always try to meet OR at least speak to the supplier via Skype or facetime. It is so important to get along and have the same values in life.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Any couple that make something that is personal to them even if it means going against tradition.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Meeting the couple via skype happens a lot these days. After that (if booked) i like to stay in contact with the couple regularly leading up to the big day. By the wedding, we will all get along so well and everyone will feel comfortable.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Just having 15 minutes away from the crazy wedding alone. This gives the couple some time to reflect on the day while i capture some beautiful natural portraits.

I first started shooting street photography & landscape photography as a hobby. I quickly became obsessed with capturing people in a moment when they did not even realise I had taken a photo. This then led me wanting to take this passion and skill into weddings. I now LOVE my job.
