Trained as a documentary photographer, Gordon is adept at capturing the emotions of the moment and his distinctive blend of candid and formal portraiture creates imagery which will be treasured for a lifetime. He has documented hundreds of events during his career and his approach to wedding photography is both simple and direct. His philosophy is this: “To be attentive to my client’s needs, to blend in with the tenor of their wedding day in a unobtrusive and productive manner, and to transform the day’s visual possibilities into a definitive set of photographs which combine fine art sensibilities with the excitement of creative photojournalism”.
