Paul Gapper

Paul Gapper is a wedding photographer based in Wimbledon in south west London. He works across London, the South East and further afield in the UK, with a natural, reportage approach that lets your day unfold without constant direction. He has photographed hundreds of weddings, from full days at country houses to small town hall ceremonies.

Why he suits LGBTQ+ couples

Paul describes his business as inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly, and his past couples include both two grooms and two brides. His quiet, unobtrusive style means you are not pushed into poses built around traditional roles. You get honest pictures of how the two of you actually are, with your friends and family around you.

What he offers

• Full-day wedding coverage and shorter options for smaller weddings
• Pre-wedding shoots, often at your venue so you get to know it together
• Relaxed couple portraits and a short list of group shots
• Online galleries your guests can download from
• Albums, photo books and USB presentation boxes

How he works

Most of the day is photographed as it happens. Paul keeps to the edges, catching the reactions, the laughter and the small moments between the bigger ones. He sets aside a little time for portraits of the two of you and keeps formal groups short, so you can get back to your guests. Couples often mention how calm he is, which helps if you are nervous in front of a camera.

Where he covers

Paul works throughout London and the South East, with many weddings at south west London favourites such as Morden Hall, Cannizaro House and Pembroke Lodge, as well as central London town halls. He also travels across the UK, with recent weddings in places such as Bath and the New Forest.
