I recently booked a session in with Gareth to get some updated headshots done for my website and social media accounts. Gareth was fantastic and am so happy with the final photos I received yesterday! He kept me at ease during the session as I was quite anxious at first. After the session, he updated me regularly on the gallery and was quick with editing the photos. If you are looking for a professional, relaxed photographer - look no further!

We employed Gareth to take some family photos (inluding 2 babies). Others had said our group was too large. He was very friendly, helpful and professional. We are very happy with the prints and photos we recieved and would highly recommend Gareth.

We have used Gareth's services about 5 times now.he did a photo shoot at my daughters' nursery twice,we also had a newborn session with my youngest in 2018, Christmas photos in 2019 and our wedding in 2020. He is absolutely amazing with kids,they just have fun while he takes the most beautiful photos.
Gareth is reasonably priced too and flexible (which helps when kiddos are involved at a shoot!)

We loved the photos that Gareth took of our family. We thought with two boisterous boys it was going to be a stressful experience and in fact he made it easy and fun - and the results were great!

We had a family photoshoot with Gareth and he made us feel very at ease. He chose a beautiful location for the photos. The photos we have seen are beautiful - so much so we cant choose just a few so have purchased the whole album of photos. I would highly recommend and would use him again! Thankyou
