Documentary storytelling — capturing the day as it naturally unfolds
Authentic celebration — no forced poses, no distraction from your guests
Creative vision — artistic use of angles, light and composition

As a dedicated wedding photographer in Bristol and across the UK, my style blends artistic vision with documentary authenticity. I aim to create images that:
- Reflect your personalities and relationships
- Capture real-life moments, not forced poses
- Feature vibrant colour, emotion and creativity
Whether it’s candid laughter during speeches or spontaneous dance floor moves, you’ll have wedding photographs that feel heartfelt and honest.
I’m based in Bristol but photograph weddings throughout the UK and occasionally abroad — so if your celebration is outside of the South West or overseas, I’m happy to talk about your plans too.
Whether you want full-day coverage or just the key moments, I offer tailored wedding photography packages to suit your budget and needs. Typical inclusions from a wedding photographer Bristol couples love:
Full wedding day coverage
Hundreds of professionally edited images
Online gallery for easy viewing and sharing
Optional albums, prints and bespoke keepsakes
You can also choose add-ons like additional photographers to ensure every angle and moment is beautifully recorded.
With years of experience photographing weddings and a passion for storytelling, I bring:
- A relaxed, unobtrusive documentary style that lets you enjoy your day
- Award recognition and international accolades for wedding photography
- A friendly, personal service - from your first enquiry to delivery of your photos
You’ll have wedding images that feel real, emotional and uniquely yours — no cheesy poses, no awkward instructions — just unforgettable memories captured beautifully.

We wanted someone that could capture the essence of our day without being in our face and he really delivered on that. He also produced a humdinger of a wedding album, he must have taken so much time to make the photos look as spectacular as they did.
His talent as a photographer, coupled with his personality makes him the perfect choice. If you're umming and ahhing, don't do so for too long. This man is going places

From the start he was responsive to e-mails / calls, happy to help with putting you in touch with other people/vendors for other needs you had wedding related (staging etc), and we felt very safe trusting Gavin to make sure our day was captured with the style, humour and expertise that we wanted. I'm not surprised he has won so many awards.
If you want someone who is chilled but professional, funny but serious about getting the best shots, and who will capture the moments that you don't even realise are happening, then we would highly recommend Gavin.
Thanks Gavin for helping make our day so special!
