We booked Garrett for an engagement shoot in the Algarve - he was amazing to deal with start to finish, and produced incredible photos in a really quick turnaround. Couldn’t recommend him more!

We had a great time with Garrett….he was fantastic to work with, very professional, nothing was too much trouble for him. He captured our family holiday brilliantly even one of the children that doesn’t smile very much! From first contact to finish prints (and additional editing) the communication was first rate. So many great photographs to choose from. Would highly recommend him to capture your special occasion.

We had a family photoshoot on the beautiful beach near Albufeira. Garret took the photos, and we had a fantastic time. Garret is a great guide and makes you feel really comfortable and comfortable. The photos turned out beautifully, and you can see the joy radiating from them. An added bonus is that you receive all the great photos. Excellent service. Communication with Garret was also quick and easy. All in all, a fantastic experience and beautiful photos.

We got the family photoshoot as a gift to our daughters birth and we are super happy with the wonderful pictures Garrett took. We aren't used to being photographed, but Garrett just let us have a good time with our little one on the beach, while he captured lots of beautiful moments. If you are after some great family pictures, we can highly recommend Garrett as your photographer: professional, talented, flexible (choosing date and location) and a very kind person on top of it. Thanks again for your precious artwork Garrett!

Garrett, where do I begin?
From the first initial contact and even still, you have been nothing but kind and helpful. You took time to answer every single question we had and explained everything so well.
For two people who hate cameras and not photogenic what so ever, you made us both feel at ease, calm and happy and you can see it in every shot you’ve taken. Im smiling and laughing so much you captured my triple chins in many pictures 🙊
Arron and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our day so perfectly. It is amazing that we are now able to see all the special moments and the tiny details that we didn’t get to see and fully appreciate on the day. We are so grateful that you were able to capture it all so beautifully with very little direction, we barely even noticed you around and that made it more relaxing for us all. You really are amazing at what you do!
Thanks a million once again for the pictures of memories to last a life time!

Garrett was so great to work with. It was a family shoot. We were not the easiest bunch as we had two young kids who were tired and cranky but Garrett made it work and got lots of amazing shots. Would absolutely recommend.
"We were an extended family of nearly 20 looking for some photos of our holiday together. Garrett found a great location, organised everybody and produced a fantastic set of photos. Thank you!"

“We can't thank you enough for capturing the beauty of our day! You did an amazing job, the photos are just stunning!
We had such a fun time, nothing is more enjoyable than to have pictures taken of us just being us.
Your adventurous attitude (aka Bear Gryls with camera) added a uniqueness to our photos that we are so happy with. The photos will make the experiences of that day last forever!"
