MEET ceo & founder of gm photographics

Graham Monro

canon master photographer

"I'm doing what I love - photographing people and their special moments. All of my life and work travels have helped me build strong connections with people. To me photography is not my job; it's my craft, a lifestyle that I choose, I love and I need"

For over 40 years, Canon Master Photographer Graham Monro has been honing his craft as a professional photographer. Whether he’s on the beach, climbing a ladder, crawling along the ground for a better angle, or in a client’s home, Graham is always learning and says that every job makes him a better photographer.

“The most rewarding part of our work is when our clients display our images on their walls in their home - The photos that we create become family heirlooms!”

When he’s not taking photos, Graham is a husband to Simona and Dad to twin girls, Sofia & Isabella. It’s rare that you find him without his camera even when he’s out and about mountain biking and kayaking.

MEET our wedding photographer

Mark Bond

I’ve been a professional photographer since I was 23, shooting Fashion and Beauty Magazines and tons of celebrities.

I’ve captured beautiful weddings in fabulous locations for hundreds of couples. I absolutely love it! Who wouldn’t enjoy taking pictures of smiling, happy people all day?

I’m known for my relaxed style and making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. One bride said, “It was like having your best mate taking pictures of you” I love that comment. After all, it should be fun, right?

We have been fortunate to have Mark in our photography team photographing many special weddings since 2014.
