The Documentary Wedding Photographer who believes you can have it all:
The perfect wedding AND the best shots
Based in London, Capturing Magic worldwide!
Genuinely documenting your day - unstaged, unposed, unplanned.
If you’re anything like 94.5% of the population (and myself), then the sheer thought of posing in front of the camera makes you cringe.
You’d much rather bust a move with your besties, enjoy a sneaky kiss, and actually eat that cake.
What if you could soak up every priceless millisecond of your wedding, and walk away with a stunning, wall-worthy collection of images that paint an authentic picture of your day? Every tiny moment, just as it happened.
That’s what I can do for you. Using a blend of digital photography and analogue medium format & 35mm film photography I create images that not only document your day as it was, without the need for you to perform, but are also beautiful, artistic and timeless. Let’s ditch the trends and embrace being our amazing, authentic selves!

“Our experience with Gemma was nothing short of perfection. Gemma exceeded our expectations and was everything we wanted in a photographer. She manages to capture all the emotions in every shot she takes and by doing so, when we look back at our photos, all those emotions we felt on our wedding day come flooding back. We cannot thank Gemma enough for these beautiful memories she managed to capture. Would highly recommend!”
Georgia & Ron
The happiest time of your life. Captured in the moment. Raw and unscripted. Preserved for eternity.

“Gemma made us feel at ease from the beginning. She understood that we didn’t like the camera on us, and wanted natural, in the moment shots. We are thrilled with the photos. We’ll treasure them forever!”

Let’s tell your story on Super 8
The perfect blend of stunning imperfection and moody authenticity
I love high-definition digital shots. Don’t get me wrong! But give me a vintage Super 8 camera, and watch the candid, documentary-style magic unfold. The result?
Priceless vintage bites that take you to a simpler, less polished reality. Raw memories that bring on happy tears when you least expect them. An authentic platform that allows your true selves to shine just as you are.
Hi I’m Gemma!
Photojournalist turned award-winning documentary wedding photographer
I’m guided by you rather than the latest TikTok trend or a Pinterest board. Because who needs ‘fake inspiration’ when you’re blessed with the raw & uncut intrigue of genuine love?
Give me all the laughs and happy tears, cuddles and kisses, longing gazes and heartfelt high-fives.
That’s all we need to turn your dream wedding into even dreamier photos that speak volumes of your love for each other for decades to come.
I’m a storyteller at heart and I can’t wait to tell your story.
I’m here for raw stuff, the real moments that make your day unique. I want you to look at your photos and remember how much your sides ached from laughing, that you flung your shoes off so you could dance a little harder and the happy tears you just couldn’t hold back.
Want me to document your authentic love story?
Let’s get the conversation started.
Let’s get social!

Asked
Questions

Sometimes I shoot alone, and sometimes I bring a team! It depends which package you book. You'll find my Pricing Guide available to download which details what's included in each package. I have a few amazing assistant photographers that I love to work with.
A second photographer can be added to any package, but not every wedding needs one. This is something we can discuss during our onboarding call.
-
Yes! I love to travel, nowhere is too far. I currently do not charge for travel within the UK. For Europe and worldwide destination weddings I charge a flat fee. Download my Pricing Guide to see the current rates.

I think printing your photographs is so important. There’s nothing like being able to pass around a beautifully curated wedding album. I work with some amazing printers and bookmakers to provide art quality prints and albums.
-
I offer both digital and film photography. For film photography I shoot a mixture of 35mm and 120mm colour and black & white film stocks. There’s a certain romantic, nostalgic feel to film that holds a place in my heart. I usually say to my couples, that you just know if you want your photographs on film.
From my perspective I find shooting analogue film wedding photographs allows me to be much more in the moment and concentrate on capturing the emotion and feeling of a day, without any temptation to reshoot or rearrange a scene.
There's lots on my blog and my social media about why I think 35mm film wedding photography is amazing, so go have a look!

My main aim is to make you feel as comfortable as possible so you can concentrate on enjoying the best day of your lives whilst knowing I’m getting all the great photos you’ll treasure forever. My documentary approach means I won’t pose you and I won’t hijack important moments to direct you or your guests.
