Gavin is one of Kindest, friendliest, well knowledged photographers I've ever met. We loved having Gavin photograph our wedding day. All of our guests have complimented us on our choice of photographer and how well Gavin slotted into our day without being noticed by anyone. We can't wait to have more photos done with Gavin in the future. More...

There is so many wonderful things I could say about Gavin. He is genuinely the loveliest man I've ever met apart from my own husband of course. I first saw Gavin's work around 2 years ago and 1 picture that won me over instantly was a picture from Mulberry House with spontaneous geese in the water during the couples evening photos that Gavin didn't realise was there. Gavin is someone who was always in the right place at the right time. Lee and I had our first meeting with Gavin to discuss what we like/want. Don't like or want. Lee and I didn't know what to expect. The moment we met Gavin we both felt we were talking to a family friend not a supplier. Our engagement shoot was a fantastic day, we spent the day laughing and felt at such ease and actually forgot Gavin was there. Thank you to our amazing photographer for 2 years of love, support and just being a fantastic person. Every single friend/family member has said how amazing you were, they didn't notice you was there despite having cameras all over yourself. You slotted perfectly into our day. They found Gavin so un-intrusive unlike some photographers who just have to be in the way. And we have loved having you with us from the very beginning, through our engagement shoot not needing to encourage me to too much to push Lee into a patch of long grass, as I'd already started to shove him over and our wedding day. You've become a friend more than just a "supplier" and we honeslty can't wait too see the rest of our photos. More...

Gavin, was the photographer for my wedding in 2011. I had requested a documentary style photography of the day, and he definitely delivered! The photos captured the mood and told the story better than I anticipated. I loved the way he captured my family and friends during the wedding. My best photo of the day was the one he took of my husband and I as the sun set. Everyone that has viewed our wedding album love how timeless the storyline is and the way he was able to capture the love and joy of the day.I would definitely use Gavin Woollard Photography again in a heartbeat, I have recommended him to friends and family. He is a personable, professional and fun photographer. More...

I can't give Gavin enough stars! As an incredibly nervous bride, he put me at my ease and enabled me to relax and enjoy the day. The essence of beauty in every moment was captured to perfection. If you are planning to get married, check Gavin's availability first then find your wedding venue second. I did! I promise you, you won't regret it! More...

Fantastic!
Our wedding in 2008 at Hedingham castle was captured beautifully by Gavin with real moment photos not just staged line ups.
We have an album to cherish and show off to EVERYONE we can find.
