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 fine art wedding album is about capturing the essence of your day in a way that's both timeless and elegant.

It's more than just assembling photos—it's about creating a story that unfolds naturally with each page.

I bring a refined eye to every album I design post wedding day, ensuring your memories are beautifully preserved.

Again, my approach is simple: focus on stunning, modern styled layouts while using the images you and hubby have chosen together from your wedding day photography. Each design is also digitally sent for proofing, before adding in your album title, cover colour and material choice.

I'll work with you make sure the design is perfect before being sent of to print, and the end result is an album that’s not just a collection of photos but a lasting piece of art you’ll treasure for years to come.
