Services
If you are after something a little smaller, or if you are getting married abroad please get in touch! This is custom made to your exact requirements, where you can pick colours, materials, paper type, and so much more. Our albums can be matched to the style of your day, making it a unique piece of artwork to cherish forever.
Here is a short video of a recent couple of mine, Sandy & Josh. They tied the knot at Gaynes Park in Essex, and here is what their thoughts were about me as a photographer. He made sure our day was perfect and couldn't have been any more helpful and attentive over the whole day. We are over the moon with our pictures and couldn't recommend him enough.
This relaxes you and gets you ready for when I arrive on the morning of your wedding. Now, rather than worrying about the photos, you will know exactly what to expect! From the Engagement shoot, I provide you with a free mounted signing board. This holds 3 of your favourite images from the shoot, then on the wedding day all of your friends and family sign around the edge of your board, it's like a modern version of a guest book!

We used Gary for our wedding pictures at The Roslyn. We were always going to use him as we experienced first hand his unquestionable professionalism and incredible snaps. Gary is honestly great. He is organised, professional, fantastic with kids and he makes you feel so at ease. Weddings are stressful but he took control and in his unique and polite way, got all the pictures we requested and more! He is always looking at unique scenes. The fact he made us look like models helped as well!
Thank you Gary. We already have more family events that we will need you at.

As a wedding planner, it is imperative for us that we can recommend someone we trust and not just someone that provides fantastic photos, but that someone is good to work with and that truly cares about your wedding day too. Gary is a trust professional, really great to work with, he's a team player through and through and always gets the best from his couples. His 5 star reviews speak for themselves.

For us, Finding our wedding photographer was the most nerve racking part of planning our wedding. Coming from a family of wedding photographers the pressure was on and it was important that we found someone who we felt we could trust as at the end of the day apart from our memories all we would have would be the photos. After meeting with a lot of different photographers we met Gary. Straight away we felt at ease! We were able to discuss exactly what we wanted to Gary and he was so helpful explaining all the different options we had and was not just trying to go for the hard sell which we found

We couldn't recommend Gary enough - he was simply brilliant! From the initial engagement shoot through to our wedding day he put us at ease and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The whole process was a breeze and he made everything so simple. We were so pleased with our pictures - they are amazing! If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding or a special occasion then look no further!

Gary did the photos for our wedding in October 2018. We received an amazing service and got all of the photos we wanted and they were edited and sent through to us within a couple of weeks.
We met Gary beforehand and went through timings, the schedule for the day and what pictures we wanted. Everything on the day went smoothly and Gary was very reliable and made every effort to ensure we had some outdoor photos in between the rain.
The package we had was very reasonably priced and worth every penny. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Gary was our wedding photographer in July 2018, he did a fantastic job and his attention to detail is second to none.
He made sure our day was perfect and couldn’t have been any more helpful and attentive over the whole day.
We are over the moon with our pictures and couldn’t recommend him enough. We still receive comments from our guests saying how good our photographer was.
Thanks again Gary!

Gary is fantastic photographer and his quality of photos is amazing. I recommend him for all occasions.
It started with a chat and being shown his work from previous events and I immediately saw the quality of his photo's and could hear he was passionate and took great pride in capturing those magical moments.
On the wedding day, Gary arrived on time and was smartly dressed. He immediately started working without any delay and throughout the wedding, he took all the photos we wanted and was very accommodating with extra requests and polite to all of our guests.

Our son and daughter-in-law chose Gary to photograph their wedding in August. As we are from a retired professional wedding photography family Gary was under extra pressure! Gary exceeded our expectations. The images taken are outstanding and there are so many to choose from. We have just received our parents album of photographs and I can honestly say we are blown away. It is a beautiful reminder of what was a happy, relaxed family day. If you are looking for an outstanding wedding photographer Gary Derbridge is your man. He is simply the best and we would have no hesitation in recommending him

What can i say? Prices were very competitive and Gary was so professional. He took the time to learn our parents and family members names for the photo's, helped with the actual wedding by getting button holes etc, and was very professional whilst doing the photo's meaning people weren't waiting forever for them to be taken. And finally the photo's are amazing, in some they actually make me look good and thats no easy task! We were so pleased with the whole service and if we had paid triple the amount, it would still have been cheap, well worth the money!
