"Gary was a relatively last minute addition to our wedding as photographer but without doubt a really important one. Gary made sure we prepared by having a call and then an in person catch up so we had built up some rapport before our wedding day. Not only did Gary offer some great photography insights, he also has extensive experience covering London weddings, and in particular, Islington Town Hall. His knowledge of the venue meant that he was able to offer suggestions with regards to timings that worked around our wedding slot, this was a benefit as other weddings followed ours.
Gary has a very relaxed style so he does slip quite seamlessly into your day. He mixed well with our family and friends and this really helped as he was able to incorporate all of them into the photos that we wanted.
As someone who was considering not getting a professional photographer for his wedding day, working with a professional like Gary with so much experience made me 100% happy that I did."
