I'm Gabby; a story telling photographer, that takes an un-intrusive, natural approach to capturing your special day.

For relaxed couples, who want to re-live their day exactly how it is.

Don't like overly posed photos or awkward situations? Neither do I.

With 12+ years within the industry; and a professional photographic studio based in Wrexham, North Wales, I now photograph couples and families across the UK, as well as internationally for destination weddings.

Your wedding day is about you, and as your photographer I capture what matters to you: Raw emotion, Laughter, tears and goosebumps.

Capturing feelings and honest photos, as well as what's visual to the eye.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

When is best to book?

Any time from your 20 week scan.
How do I book?

Amazing - Please get back in touch with me via email so that I can provide information on how to pay your session retainer fee of £50.
Can I pay in Instalments?

Of course. Get in touch so that we can discuss Interest free payment plans.
What if I have a difficult delivery of baby and need more time?

You are my priority, and your health should be yours. Please take care of yourself and prioritise your recovery, I can send you dates to get you booked in at a later date.
Can I bring other family members?

What’s that saying, too many cooks in the kitchen? Intimate family settings work best. Especially when you have siblings attending the session who can easily become overwhelmed by too many people or ‘eyes on them’. If you need the help of a grandparent, absolutely no problem. But please, no cousins of cousins.
What if I am too tired for the session?

As a mama myself, the chances are - you will be. But, thats why you book me. Just turn up and I will do all the work. You can sit back and relax.
Can I bring my other children?

Oh my goodness - my favourite images are when you or the siblings get in on them - even the fury ones!
