ABOUT US

Hello!  We're Derek and Nicky Gale.  We specialise in contemporary lifestyle wedding and portrait photography.  We aim to give you the best photographic experience; fantastic images, taken with enthusiasm in an informal and individual way, together with the highest quality of service.

Derek has been passionate about photography since he was a child.  His talent is to capture unique moments, interactions and details in his characteristic full-frame style.  Nicky joined Gale Photography in 2003 and is now an essential part of the creative team.  She has an eye for a strong image and a flair for design and presentation.  Her commitment to detail ensures your images, and our service, are the best.

Derek is in demand as an inspirational speaker about photography and as a photographic competition judge.  His skill and creativity has been recognised by his peers in the numerous awards he has gained, including the BPPA National Awards, and the MPA Regional Portrait and Wedding Awards.  One of his portraits is featured in the RPS's prestigious 2007 publication, "Portfolio One".

"We were very impressed with your style of working, and are thrilled with the final result! You both really helped to make our big day so special." Claire and Chris

not what they're doing."  Ben S
