Meet Gavin

I used to make films, now I do photographs. I am Gavin, a Bristol wedding photographer shooting relaxed, colourful, documentary coverage across the South West, the UK and further afield.

Approach

I do not rely on stiff poses or staged moments. I document real connections, laughter, tears and celebration, so the pictures still feel like the day rather than a set of instructions everybody followed.

The style blends artistic vision with documentary honesty: images that reflect your personalities and your relationships, carry real colour and emotion, and turn up in places nobody was looking. Candid laughter during the speeches, spontaneous dance floor moves, the bit in between that nobody notices happening.

I am based in Bristol but photograph weddings throughout the UK and occasionally abroad, so if your celebration is outside the South West or overseas, I am happy to talk about your plans too. Off duty: coffee, vinyl, far too many house plants, cooking, fell walking, and a cat called Tinks who is essentially a small dog.

Guests stand for an outdoor barn ceremony while the bride waits at the end of the aisle, framed past a groom's white trainer marked Mr.
