FAQS
How do you define yourself and your photography style?
I say; unobtrusive, documentary with a sprinkling of artistic fun and pizzazz..they say... "Gavin is an internationally award winning photographer who uses an alternative offbeat style to create unique wedding stories. He pushes the boundaries of wedding photography stereotypes creating artwork that is artistic, beautiful & honest to your wedding day. Wedding photography with Gavin is more than just the imagery. It is an all around experience. He can help you plan while adding a calming influence to your day. From a wedding photographer you once messaged, to a quirky; floral bowtie wearing, crazy shape throwing close friend; who has a camera. The camera that just took the most precious and authentic memories you will ever own. After 7 years, photographing over 200 weddings in 9 countries, he is not short of wedding wisdom too."
What do you love about weddings?
The connections and the people. I'm obsessed with people watching and street photography. As humans we are such fascinating beings. So to capture these little stories in the larger story of a couples love, is what keeps me thriving. That moment you climb a mountain with a couple and have them burst into tears thinking "crumbs, what the heck have I done?!?!" to then be told they are happy tears because you have made their day more special that they ever imagined it could be. That was the ultimate reward!
Do you have any advice for wedding couples?
For picking a wedding photographer? Vibe with them - You'll likely spend more time with them than most on your wedding day. You want to have fun when together and if done right, will likely become good friends with them after. Meet, chat, and if it's not right just say (they are likely thinking the same) and look elsewhere. For general advice? Do it your way, even if someone else is paying or making you feel overpowered, they may be mildly offended when you tell them to pipe down - but time heals. At the end of the day it will be your forever regret, as a couple, to live with if you didn't do it your way.
Do you travel?
Send me anywhere! I'm happy to travel near and far. All packages are inclusive of these costs so no additional costs are incurred.
How much? How Long? Where you based? Do you have cats? Ahhhh So many questions...
Don't worry, I'd love to hear from you so drop me a message and I can answer everything over a chat ...but yeah I have two cats - Mungo & Tinks - I think they like me but deep down I know they don't! Sigh!
