Gary Williams Photography

I take beautiful photos of people who don't like to pose

How do you feel about having your picture taken? A bit awkward, perhaps? Uncomfortable? I get it. You want beautiful photos on your wedding day, you just don’t want the stress of standing there for half an hour posing like a couple of lemons. ?? If you’re looking for a friendly gay wedding photographer (I'm both friendly and gay, lol) to capture those special moments in a relaxed, natural way, I’d love to be your guy! My work has been exhibited worldwide, shortlisted for the International Photography Awards, published in the New York Times and I'm a proud winner of the 2024 Hitched Wedding Awards. Be The Hero Of Your Own Story This is not for influencers! I promise no forced poses, no awkward moments and I won’t ask you to say “cheese”. Let me take care of the photos so you two can enjoy your day to the max. Everyone deserves a stress-free wedding day. Don't risk it Choosing the right photographer means you’ll have peace of mind and photos you’ll treasure for the rest of your lives. Check out the testimonials from my delighted couples who love their wedding photos and let me do the same for you.

As a photographer the most important thing for me is that you two are 100% relaxed, happy and at ease on your day. As a gay man myself, you can rest assured that 'I get it' and we'll be on the same wavelength. Besides, gay weddings are usually more fun to photograph than straight weddings! ?

I am 90% documentary and candid. I think the best photos are those when people are captured off guard, naturally enjoying the day. When it comes to group shots or a bit of time with the couple I am more hands on but still, my focus is on creating natural "real" moments. I do that with a little bit of direction and guidance but really, I set up the shot and let you two do your thing.

There’s a bit of stigma amongst photographers that wedding photography is trivial, boring and repetitive. I completely reject that. I know it sounds like a line from a sales brochure, but for me it really is a huge privilege to be entrusted by a couple to photograph their wedding day. Wedding photography might not be as “cool” as fashion photography but it’s way more important. It’s about real life and making memories with the people you love. It matters. It lasts.

I guess I'm a people pleaser so I love the help everyone have a great experience on the day and I get such joy from seeing the reactions of my couples to their photos. I'm so passionate about. My long suffering boyfriend is probably sick of hearing me talk about wedding photography. Lol.
