I enjoy using the latest equipment and am constantly on the look-out for the next development.

Gary was the photographer and videographer on my friends wedding which I was best man and couldn’t have been any better in his professional approach and friendly nature to the event at Ripon cathedral. So much so that he convinced me and my now wife to use him as a videographer which we had previously been against using due to previous quotations. We contacted him 2 weeks prior to our wedding day and he accepted our invitation to film the whole event. His aerial views of our chosen venue via a drones, capturing guests enjoying our day and the editing onto a dvd with appropriate songs have provided many more happy evenings 3 years later on. Couldn’t recommend this man and his team any higher and doesn’t break the bank compared to other people. More...

Gary did our wedding day. He was enthusiastic, fun and all our guests have said how much they liked him and how good he was. The pictures are beautiful. Racking my brain as to the next event we can use him, that's how good he was. More...

Gary has now filmed the Ripon Charity Pantomime Group for 2 years with excellent results. He doesn’t charge us as we are local community group, can’t thank him enough.
