I honestly cannot recommend Liam enough. He was as enthusiastic about our day as we were, and his desire to capture the best photos for us has resulted in an unbelievable collection for us to cherish forever. Thank you so much Liam

Having our wedding photos done by Liam was the most relaxing and fun experience! Liam’s passion for photography and amazing personality have shone through all of our time with him. I would absolutely recommend him

I worked with this gentleman at a couples wedding I was filming. It was such a pleasure to work with Liam and share his creative process to ensure we both were able to get the best products for the couple we were capturing. I now recommend him to every couple I work with, a true natural! More...

As a family, we have used Liam a few times for a few events. He is truely incredible! He is the most down to earth person and works tirelessly to achieve amazing photos. He is great with children and made us all feel so comfitable the first time we met. Whenever we have the pleasure to have him shoot us, its like he is a friend we have always known rather than a man with a camera. I could not recommend Liam enough.
Liam you are amazing!!!

I would 100% recommend Liam. He is very friendly and made us feel at ease during our pre wedding shoot. He tailored his services to meet our exact needs and has gone above and beyond to help us reschedule our wedding day three times. His photos are beautiful and we can't wait for our special day so we can have our memories captured. More...

It’s been almost a year since our wedding and today we received our album through a combination of life getting in the way and our dear friend Covid! But today feels like the perfect time to write this. I honestly do not have enough words to express how much having Liam as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made in regards to our whole day. My heart is so full reminiscing back to our special day last October because every photograph is just so perfect. Each page holds a treasured memory, elated happiness and bellies full of laughter. Since the wedding, Liam has photographed my cousin’s 18th birthday and our beautiful gender reveal and I would never ever ask anybody else to capture another memory again. Liam you truly have the kindest heart and your profession is not only a gift but so obviously a true love of yours - and that love is felt so strongly through your photographs. Thank you for being a part of our special day but even more so, such a significant part of our lives. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending Liam so if you’re considering using his services for a special event, make sure you book; I promise you won’t regret it! x More...

Liam was nothing but friendly, professional and extremely patient. Our little boy got so tired and was extremely grumpy, the photo's Liam has captured shows nothing but good honest, laughter, fun and excitement. Liam made my fiancé and myself, whom both aren't very confident, feel so unbelievably comfortable capturing the most natural and beautiful of shots, laying on the floor to capture our son doing what he does best (running). Thank you once again Liam for your time, patience and most of all, love for what you do when you're behind the camera. More...

I don’t have a google account so I couldn’t leave a review there but I could not let this month pass without saying the most sincere thank you. You shot our engagement party and we were honoured to have you shoot our little ones first birthday. There was no one else we wanted. You are so skilled, professional, so so kind to your subjects (including baby and dog!!) to get the most out of them and more than approachable to ask for specifics. You are everything we could ever want and more. The pictures are STUNNING!! Considering it wasn’t they day we had planned it was beautiful and happy nonetheless and you captured this perfectly. Thank you for making yourself available and thank you for everything. We cannot wait until next time xx More...

Liam, The moment you came into my business and asked for embroidery we hit it off, your cheeky smile and glowing personality is actually an important part of your business because you connect with people in such a professional manor and create a comfortable environment that allows us to relax and enjoy ourselves without worrying about the actual pictures being taken! You were a super star back in 2016 for our engagement party but this year to come into our garden for our daughters 1st birthday and do what you did, socially distance and also produce the quality photos that we can't stop looking at just blows me away and I'll be forever grateful. If you're reading this and looking for a photographer... Call or meet Liam and after 5 mins you'll see what I mean. You are a true gent, professional and I'm also very humbled to call you a "freind" Thank you again, Harper sends you another smile :) More...

Liam photographed our wedding last September. As far as wedding planning goes, my husband and I agree that choosing Liam was one of the best decisions we made. We immediately loved the natural and cinematic feel to his work and his style documented our day beautifully. Liam was so professional on the day from start to finish, and his relaxed and friendly manner was complimented by a number of our family and friends. We would highly recommend Liam to anyone! Thank you ❤️ More...

Pre wedding shoot was fantastic featuring our son in the local woods the pictures incredible. Ours was the last wedding before lock down and Liam was an amazing help, his normal smiley self even reminding me to get ready as I was running late and putting everyone at ease The pictures he captured are truly amazing and I have already been in touch regarding a larger family shoot.

Liam certainly comes highly recommended by me and my husband! He was polite, friendly, got on so well with everyone and made everyone feel at ease from the outset. Nothing was too much trouble. He even kept our massive secret for us for months (40th party, actually a wedding reception)!! He did exactly what we wanted with a great mixture of posed and candid shots, and some beautiful editing on some of the portrait photos made them extra special. The photos were a plenty and really captured the atmosphere of the day perfectly. Memories to treasure forever ❤️ Thanks so much Liam! More...

Having Liam as our wedding photographer was an absolute dream! The moment we met him we knew he was perfect for our big day, he was passionate, friendly and super professional. We wanted to prioritise capturing natural moments whilst still having a cinematic feel to our photographs (both of us are from creative backgrounds so that was very important to us) and Liam gave us what we'd hoped for and so much more! Liam was always around when we needed him during the day, but also didn't disrupt our day in the slightest. Our guests all loved interactions with him. I'm amazed by the amount of gorgeous photos we now have, I can't even begin to decide what's going to hang up in our house!?! Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives ❤️ More...

We booked Liam for our wedding on the 26 July and we would 100% recommend him and would definitely book with him again. Liam goes above and beyond to not only photograph your day he puts you at ease as soon as he walks into the room, always professional, friendly, a funny personality, great with kids, and all our guests loved him, he truly cares about what he does. He helped make the day run smoother by teaming up with the other vendors when timings where running late and getting everything back on track. our venue wasn't the usual stunning locations he normally does but he still made the background look amazing. We are so happy with our photos I can't stop looking at them as he captured some truly special moments I will treasure always. Don't know how we will ever pick a favourite! Liam I can't thank you enough for your amazing work and wish you and your business all the best Katie and Richard (and the boulder!) xx More...

Almost a year ago this month I married my best friend and man of my dreams and we were lucky enough to have Liam Gillan capture what was the best day of my life so far on camera. Right from the moment I contacted Liam he was a pleasure to work with, making both my husband and I completely at ease in front of the camera, making us laugh, which for 2 camera shy people, is no easy task. It felt as if we had known Liam for years and not just met him.. I cannot thank Liam enough, he captured the most amazing photos, making it so difficult to choose which ones were our favourites.. And they bring me lots of joy as I look back on them now. After the wedding we received so many compliments from all our guest as to how amazing the all thought Liam was and how at ease they felt with him taking their photos. I just want to thank Liam for being so brilliant and professional and for making our wedding day extra special, we will treasure the memories forever. If you are looking for a photographer I can definitely recommend Liam. Best choice we made for our big day. More...

Liam was our choice of photographer at out wedding in Aug 2017 . To say he had a full day would be an understatement. He started off at The Lion ,Boreham photographer my beautiful wife as she and her bridesmaids got ready. Then off to St Andrews Church in Sandon and then off to Crabbes Barn at Kelvedon for the reception. Liam was the consummate professional all day ,working well alongside our videographer. He captured some amazing shots of the day and carried out our wishes to the letter. We wanted a few traditional shots then the rest au natural. Initially I didn't want a photographer at our wedding with the pushyness I have witnessed at other weddings ( including my first) . Within minutes of meeting Liam I/ we had decided that he was the man to capture our special day. Apart from marrying my wife , having Liam for our special day one of the best decisions Ive made .
