North East Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Welcome to Gary Walsh Photography. I’m an experienced photographer based in the North East of England, with over 18 years of capturing weddings, portraits, and personal stories for couples, families, and professionals.
 
If you’re looking for natural, relaxed photography that reflects who you are, you’re in the right place.

Natural, Storytelling Photography Across the North East

Whether it’s a wedding, a family portrait, or a personal branding session, I help people feel comfortable in front of the camera. My goal is always to capture genuine, unscripted moments that tell your story.
 
My photography style is timeless, documentary-inspired, and shaped by your personality.

Wedding Photography That Feels Like You

Your wedding day is full of real emotion, connection, and fleeting moments. My approach is to blend into the background and photograph it all as it naturally unfolds — without forced poses or interruptions.
 
Based in Norton Village, I cover weddings in Stockton-on-Tees, Durham, Newcastle, Northumberland, Yorkshire, and across the UK.

Portrait & Branding Photography

Looking for relaxed family portraits, professional headshots, or personal branding photos? I’ll work with you to create images that feel genuine, confident, and completely ‘you’.

Let’s Tell Your Story

Pop a camera around my neck and I’m in my element. I approach every shoot with dedication and care — and I’d love to help tell your story through photographs that last a lifetime.
 
Let’s start the conversation.
