My relaxed and fun approach helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera, so your photos reflect your true connection — raw, real, and beautiful.

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.
