GRW Photography
Devon-based documentary wedding photographer with a press background, covering the South West and beyond.
GRW Photography is the wedding work of Gareth, a Devon-based photographer who spent years as a press photographer in the South West for newspapers and magazines. He brings that reportage eye to weddings, telling the story of your day through candid, natural images rather than long posed sessions.
Why he suits LGBTQ+ couples
A documentary approach records the day as it happens, with no stock poses or set formulas to follow. Gareth keeps out of the way and lets you get on with celebrating, which GLW finds puts couples at ease, especially those who feel awkward in front of a camera. Your photographs end up showing your people and your moments, not a template.
What they offer
- Full-day documentary coverage, from getting ready to the party
- Candid reportage throughout the ceremony and reception
- Family and group photographs
- Formal shots during the service where you want them
- Confetti and sparkler shots on request
- Destination weddings outside the UK
How he works
Gareth aims to go unnoticed for most of the day. He gives you freedom and keeps interference to a minimum. His press background shows in the style, which has a slightly edgy, photojournalistic feel. Coverage usually runs from the morning preparations through to the evening, around ten hours in all.
Where he covers
He is based in Devon and works across the South West of England. He also travels further afield and has photographed weddings abroad.
Frequently asked questions
Will Gareth take any posed photographs?
Yes. Most of the day is candid, but he also photographs family groups and any formal shots you ask for.
Does he travel outside the South West?
Yes. The South West is his home patch, but he also travels further afield and has covered weddings abroad.
