Photographer Liam Gillan

Liam and Harry at Photographer Liam Gillan are without a doubt the best photographers we could have asked for. From our first meeting with Liam at his offices we knew that we had made the right choice. His interview and getting to know you process was excellent to help him capture photographs of us tailor-made to what we wanted and he was amazing to help us feel more comfortable and made our children feel a part of the decisions. Fast forward to the big day and Liam was capturing the bridal preparations and Harry captured the groom preparations. Both made a real, genuine effort to get to know the bridesmaids, groomsmen and everyone important to us. Their professionalism is exceptional and they were meticulous (in a good way) of capturing all the details, whether it be the finishing touches to our outfits or making sure every little detail in all photos were perfect. During the ceremony they were both so helpful in instructing us what to do and where to be as they have the experience and expertise that newlyweds like myself and my husband do not. They are also two of the nicest people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They really go the extra mile to help everyone, whether it be a person that doesn't like to have their photo taken or the people that love their photos taken. Our guests all commented on how great they were, and how fun they were to shoot with. Their ideas to get great shots make each photo and wedding album completely unique and personalised to you. They are really great value for money and we would recommend them to anyone, they truly are the number 1 photographers in Essex! It was amazing to have our previews within 72 hours so we could show our friends and family. Thank you so much Liam and Harry for helping us to make our day perfect.

Liam was our photographer at our wedding on the 30th May and both my partner and I can’t express how unbelievably pleased we are! Not only did we receive the most beautiful wedding photos Liam went above and beyond throughout the whole day. Liam really is like a photographer, wedding coordinator, bridesmaid, groomsman and friend all wrapped into one. From the minute he arrived he made everyone feel so comfortable, from arranging my dress for the best photos, putting the men’s button holes on.

We were so lucky to have Liam be our photographer for our wedding day. He worked so incredibly hard to capture all our moments perfectly. We had a wedding combining two cultures and the day was incredibly busy and at times a little chaotic. He really showed us how far he goes for his clients, staying positive and energetic always, whilst adapting to our changing itinerary and parental requests! He really takes pride in what he does and delivers on quality. He was professional from the start and his creativity really came out in his shoots. He helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera quickly, was very easy going and respectful to everyone he met. All my guests loved him, especially my non English speaking Chinese grandma! He stayed late to ensure he captured everything until the very end, even though it was his partner’s birthday and he had a wedding the very next day. He really puts his clients first and worked so hard to make our day special. I’m really glad we went for the wedding video package too, as what we received was so beautifully made, I teared up watching it! He really captured all the highlights and the moments to cherish the most. I had remembered my wedding day to be particularly stressful but the footage and candid shots really showed me how perfect the day actually went with all our guests enjoying themselves too. A really really great guy and a fantastic photographer. Thankyou so much Liam!

We Highly recommend Liam Gillan! Thank you for capturing mine & Jamie’s Special day on 9/07/2022❤️ We couldn’t be more happier with our photographs, the effort, time and detail you put into your work is amazing. We can now look back on our special day all thanks to you! Liam is so down to earth & funny but still so professional at the same time, Liam made us feel comfortable and the guests loved him he really did make the day flow so easily especially when we had a confusion on the day with the venue. Liam is non invasive he doesn’t have his camera constantly in your face Thanks again Liam Mrs&Miss Wilson

Liam was the photographer for our wedding and from the moment we had our first meeting with him he made us feel at ease. Liam is an amazing photographer and such a friendly guy. He fitted right in with all our wedding guests making sure he captured our day and even got involved with a bit of beer pong! We love our photos and would happily recommend Liam and his team.

Wow, Liam was absolutely incredible at our wedding. He produced the most incredible photos of our day and also was just so much fun on the day. He made the whole process of taking photos fun and enjoyable and we absolutely adore our images! Thank you so so so much!!

If I were to describe Liam in 3 words, it would be: passionate, respectful and dedicated. After your wedding day you will always have regrets over small details and potential things that went wrong, but I guarantee you hiring Liam will not be one of them. Liam has the most keen eye for details and is an absolute expert when it comes to weddings: veils, doing up your wedding dress, wedding ‘etiquette’, order of the day, you name it, he knows the answer! He became my go to guy on the day and I asked him everything (sorry, Liam!) Just being in his presence made me feel calm and totally at ease. He is just as passionate as the couple he is capturing when it comes to getting the best shots. He uses the environment do his advantage and when he says he’s got the shot - trust him! Liam was so respectful when taking photos, ensuring we were all comfortable - nothing ever felt forced! He had to work around a lot of small children on one of the hottest days of the year as well, but not once did it ruffle him. He stayed composed and friendly throughout (although I’m not quite sure how!). I had almost every guest mention to me what an amazing photographer and all round nice guy he was! He was on first name terms with everyone by the end of the night and joined us on the dance floor throwing some serious shapes to Candy! He truly defined going above and beyond your job that night, staying late into the evening and joining in our celebrations seamlessly. It’s only when I watch the video back of our day that I realise how hard Liam worked to get every angle, moment and shot! He is so discreet in the way he captures moments that you hardly notice on your special day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Liam. The photos you took are everything we dreamed of and more! They captured the day so incredibly well, including moments we didn’t witness first hand, and have encapsulated our special day as well as our nearest and dearest so perfectly. I can’t wait to print them and plaster our home with them. Already looking forward to the next time our paths cross. Thank you for the photos, but most importantly thank you for the memories. We consider you not just our photographer, but a lovely friend. The Croxfords xxx

Worth his weight in gold. It’s the attention to detail but also the subtlety of Liams work that is world class. He was not a burden on anyone, blended in with the guests with ease and made everyone feel so comfortable yet special. He oozes passion for photography and this shows in his work and the album we were sent after our wedding in September 2022. An absolute must at your wedding.

Liam is an exceptional wedding photographer and he made the whole experience of our DIY wedding feel effortless. Liam just 'got' the idea we had for our very relaxed woodland wedding, took the time to fully explore my very detailed Pinterest board (sorry Liam!) and captured every second perfectly. Liam photographed both my sister's and my cousin's weddings so we already knew we'd have incredible photos, but we were blown away with just how beautiful the results were. Every guest I spoke to commented on how kind, friendly, funny and engaging Liam is. I think the fact that so many friends (both engaged and not yet engaged) approached us and asked for his details speaks volumes. For someone who doesn't feel comfortable in front of the camera, Liam put all of my anxiety and worries at ease and was a big part of why our day felt so relaxed. We genuinely couldn't be more pleased with our photos and as one of our guests rightly said, "Liam is a true artist."

I couldn't recommend Liam more highly! We were dreading wedding photos, both me and my husband find ourselves awkward in front of a camera, and were looking for someone to take candid pictures whilst helping to put us at ease. It is safe to say Liam exceeded all of our expectations and hopes! Even before the wedding he was so warm and helpful, answering questions promptly. And on the day, the photos we were slightly dreading were actually really fun and not at all awkward. He is fantastic at what he does, and clearly loves it, which really shone through and we have absolutely beautiful wedding photos as a result. The second photographer he brought with him was also lovely and brilliant! I have nothing negative to say at all, we are so grateful for Liam! He captured our day perfectly! You couldn't possibly go wrong booking him for your special day!
