GRW Photography

I’m Gareth at GRW Photography, based in Exmouth, Devon — I specialise in wedding photography and bring a photojournalist’s eye to every celebration. After more than a decade as a press photographer across the South West, I’ve trained myself to recognise the single image that tells the whole story. That experience informs a documentary-style approach: I work quietly, intuitively and with a focus on genuine moments rather than posed perfection. Why choose me? My aim is simple — to let you crack on with your day while I capture it as it unfolds. I’m happiest blending into the background, catching the small, off-the-cuff moments that might otherwise be missed, but I’m equally comfortable organising group shots, confetti scenes or anything you specially want. Guests often say it felt like having an old friend at the wedding — relaxed, warm and unobtrusive — and that ease produces natural, emotive images. My style sits between reportage and a touch of editorial edge. The press world taught me to think fast under pressure and to find meaningful pictures in the chaos of real life. For couples that want photos which read like a story rather than a sequence of formal portraits, my approach delivers honest, timeless results that reflect the atmosphere of the day. How I work: I like to keep things straightforward and friendly. We’ll chat about your plans, and I’m happy to run through ideas on video or in person. Many couples choose a pre-shoot to get comfortable in front of the lens, and I can provide a second photographer or albums if you’d like to expand coverage. After the wedding you’ll receive a secure, password-protected gallery for easy sharing and downloading. I’ve photographed weddings across Devon, the South West and further afield, and every event teaches me something new. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony in Exmouth or a larger celebration elsewhere, I bring the same calm, observant energy and commitment to telling your day honestly. If you want wedding photos that feel natural, fun and rooted in real moments, let’s have a conversation and see how I can capture your story.
