Gavin really is a true professional at what he does, and you can tell he is passionate about photography through the way he works.
I contacted gavin as I needed a few new promotional shots taking for my website, being a professional magician, I am the product they buy so my photos have to look good. Gavin delivered all of that, the photos were fantastic, and his friendly and understanding approach made everything even better.
Thank you Gavin, I would not hesitate to recommend you to other friends and colleagues I know.

Wow - Amazing. Gavin is so patient and kind as well as being super creative and really personable. Gavin traveled to photograph our Wedding and had already researched the venue to scout out photo locations for us. We booked Gavin at very short notice as the original photographer that we had booked let us down. Gavin gave us the full service, despite his short notice and we were blown away by the images that he captured.All of our guests mentioned how pleasant he was and he wasn't in the least bit intrusive whilst taking photos.It was a pure delight to receive our Wedding Photos - the online gallery showed us some amazing shots that we'd had no idea were being captured.When we received the prints, we were overwhelmed to see the quality of the prints and the attention to detail in every single aspect of Gavin's work is amazing.We would have no hesitation in recommending Gavin and his photography.

A really big thank you to Gavin for producing some fab photos of my bridal boutique Fabulous Wedding Boutique. He took both indoor and outdoor images which were great and he got all the images back to me the very next day (although I think a wedding shoot would take a little longer)! He is also the photographer for many of my brides and they say amazing things about him. I would and do recommend Gavin to everyone. he's really easy going and makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed.....go on give him a call! More...

Gavin was brilliant at our wedding. We didn't even realise he was there for most of the day. He took some fabulous natural shots when no one realised he was there but also took great formal shots too. The pictures he took of the pageboys before the service were fab. Choosing pictures for the album has been very difficult as there were so many great pictures. Gavin has made the whole process so easy and has been very patient with us as we didn't want to rush choosing our album pictures. He was also very accomodating when moving pictures around for the album. Would recommend to anyone who is getting married or just wants some lovely photos taking as we were never once worried about the service we would get as felt we could totally trust him to deliver a great service.

Gavin truly contributed to our special day. From meeting Gavin for our pre-wedding shot, we knew he was the right person to capture our special wedding day. Gavin was very reliable, patient, and always courteous, nothing was too much trouble for him. His photos are unique because they are natural, capturing things as they are, rather than any pretense. Thank you for contributing to making our day special. God bless, Mr & Mrs Stewart. More...

Gavin was just excellent as the wedding photographer on my son and daughter-in-law's wedding day. He was very capable in his role, a true professional, he knew exactly what he was doing and what he wanted people to do to make the best job of the photos. He worked very hard and created many superb shots. Above all, he was extremely pleasant and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Fantastic! More...

Incredible photographs,exactly what we were wanting which was predominantly informal shots of people enjoying themselves and with formal shots of the wedding party. Nothing was too much trouble, Gavin stayed in touch in all the build up to the wedding, making sure we were happy and the timings were correct. He took the initiative to set up and get shots of the dress, shoes, flowers etc. A well balanced approach - he was around when we needed him and discreet when we had guests to attend to. The formal shots were a nice break from the busyness of the wedding party - it kept everything fresh. The colours, quality and quantity of the shots was perfect...we are really happy and would recommend him without hesitation! We included Gavin on a table as a guest to the wedding breakfast and he was delighted! More...
