Hunter Valley Wedding Photographer
Timeless, candid wedding photography.
Visuals that reflect your unique love…
Welcome and thanks for visiting Gez Xavier Mansfield Photography.
As a Hunter Valley and Newcastle wedding photographer, I turn your special day into a visual story you'll cherish for years. With over 12 years of experience capturing weddings, couples, families and life events, I focus on capturing one off moments in natural light to remember forever.
Your wedding day is filled with love and laughter and deserves to be captured perfectly.
Choosing the right photographer is crucial to getting the most from the day - so if my work speaks to you, you love to party, you’ve come to the right place.
If you want guidance but love the idea of effortless wedding photography, we’d likely be a great fit. I seek couples who appreciate their partnership and want to have fun during this precious time.
I'm thrilled you found me and my bridal portfolio and look forward to hearing from you…
“It’s all about the good times, those great moments and the energy - that’s what I will bring to your day!”
Think of me as that great best friend or the awesome cousin. I know your special day back to front, and I'm proud to call this my full time job.
Get to know me and you'll see how much these life experiences make me want to dance, laugh and encourage all to have a fantastic time!
Let’s Create Something Beautiful
It can be a minefield out there… so I’m glad you’ve been directed to my website to learn more about my bridal photography.
I always encourage couples to meet with me before deciding on who will best fit their day - because meeting me means I’m capturing your wedding - not someone you haven’t met.
At these meetings (whether it’s online or in person) I like to discuss what you want from the day. Your plans and any ideas you think may make your day special.
And I want to share how I can help you make these special things come true. So think of me as a mini planner who know’s what works great.
My approach to weddings works well with so many couples because I offer options to make your day as smooth as possible.
And the best part - there’s no pressure at these meet up’s. I want couples to go away and feel comfortable in who they choose to capture their love story.
In fact, I’m so confident in my work and committed to making your day enjoyable, I encourage couples to meet with all others in their shortlist.
In 2025, I’m capping my weddings at 35 special events only - allowing me to spend more time on each wedding, for each couple.
So, if you’re in the Hunter Valley area OR would love to meet with me, get in touch so I can hear all about your plans.
Wedding Day Timeline
Getting married or planning an elopement is an exciting journey, but it also requires careful planning to ensure that the day unfolds seamlessly. A well-structured timeline is essential to making sure everything runs smoothly, from the first look to the final dance.
I'm here to guide you every step of the way on your day. In all my years as a wedding photographer, I've yet to capture a day without offering my input on what will best serve my couples, their guests, and the incredible vendors I collaborate with.
My goal is to guide you in creating a timeline that maximises your enjoyment of the day while ensuring that every significant moment is beautifully documented.
Organised and stress-free, making your wedding day as smooth and memorable as possible.
"From candid moments to breathtaking portraits, Gez will capture the essence of your special day."

Fine Art Wedding Albums
Crafting a wedding album captures your day's essence in a timeless way.
It’s about telling your story through each page.
I design each album with a refined eye, focusing on modern layouts using your selected wedding photos.
You'll receive a digital proof before finalising the title, cover colour, and material.
Together, we'll create an album that’s a treasured piece of art, not just a photo collection.
