10/10 Couldn't ask for a better wedding photographer

Gemma is an excellent photographer, who helped to make our wedding day our best day ever! We first met Gemma when we did an engagement shoot - she made us feel so comfortable and able to be ourselves. She is so friendly, helpful and easy-going. No request was too big or too small. She quickly responds to any questions in the run up to the wedding and arranged a couple of calls to chat about our plans for the big day. She was more than happy to capture all of our requests including getting ready, father of the bride, a confetti shot, sparklers, shot ski and undercover waiter! We love our wedding photos and all of our guests have commented on how amazing the photos look. Gemma - keep being fabulous and we hope you capture many more happy memories. Newly engaged couples don't hesitate to book! :)

Excellent experience

What can I say! Gemma did the photos for our wedding day recently and they were amazing. From the moment we met her, it was very clear she knows her stuff and we felt very safe in her hands. She was professional and also a lovely down to earth person. Can’t recommend her highly enough.

Wedding day

Gemma was amazing! My husband 😍 and I chatted about what we wanted and the fact we were not comfortable posing and would like more natural pictures. I received these yesterday and could not be more thrilled. The moments captured by Gemma are wonderful and everything we hoped for. We cannot thank Gemma enough for capturing our special day.

Incredible

Gemma did an absolutely incredible job with our wedding photography! She captured all the family shots we wanted as well as all genuine moments and emotions of the day. We had so much fun going through our photo gallery and reliving our wedding. Gemma was amazing from start to finish and made the whole experience so relaxed and easy. Thank you so much for everything!

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish

Gemma was amazing from start to finish, made everyone feel really relaxed. Wasn't intrusive or pushy at all and was also really helpful organising the day itself. The quality of the photos are absolutely beautiful. A lot of comments from people who have seen them are that it has brought the day back to life for them. Gemma has helped us make some wonderful memories with variety and quality of the pictures she has taken. Couldn't thank, recommend or praise her enough

Wedding Photographer

I book Gemma for my Wedding photographer and we met and discussed what I wanted on the day. We are delighted with the result of the quality of our pictures as she captured all the shots, some we weren't expecting but turned out stunning. Would highly recommend Gemma as your special day photograher..

Fabulous service

Gemma was great from the start after responding to my plea on Facebook after being ignored by so many photographers. Great communication, took the time to identify what we wanted. On the day great at putting people at ease which resulted in lovely photos showing the relaxed joyous nature of our special day.

Felt like having our close friend taking our wedding photos.

We booked Gemma to capture our wedding day, she instantly made us feel at ease and worked so well with the children to capture some really special moments. Gemma has such a really friendly and easy going personality that really helped to relax us both in the lead up and on the day. I am truly thankful for capturing such beautiful photos.

Amazing Service from Beginning to End

Gemma photographed our wedding in July and we were truly impressed from start to finish. I cannot express enough how fantastic Gemma is as a wedding photographer.
Gemma is friendly, professional and fantastic at what she does. She has a genuine passion for her job and delivers an exceptional service. She is such a talented photographer and captured our day perfectly in the most natural and unobtrusive way.
During the whole process Gemma was always there to answer any questions/ queries. Prior to the day not only did she visit the venue with us (which was a couple of hours drive away) but she also had another meeting with us to discuss with us any shots we wanted and give us ideas and tips. On the actual wedding day Gemma was incredible, getting every shot we requested as well as capturing the magic of the day in a natural way.
She delivered our photographs with a very quick turn around and has been so patient with us as we have taken so long trying to decide which ones to put in our album as we are spoilt for choice!
We are truly delighted with how our photos have turned out and can’t recommend Gemma enough.

Amazing wedding

We had the best day ever with Gemma as out photographer! People were asking me how long we had been friends due to how well
We got on and how relaxed the whole event was! The photos were absolutely stunning and for a girl who hates having her picture taken Gemma did a great job of capturing the beauty of the day!
I would recommend her to anyone and everyone xxx

Simple but effective

We asked for natural and simplicity and that is what we got. We had traditional pictures and natural and love them all!
Pictures received in a timely manner as per contract.

Thank you!

Fantastic wedding photographer

Gemma was absolutely fantastic to work with and what a fabulous photographer, we love all of our wedding photos. Gemma made us feel at ease as we didn't love our photo being taken and we have so many great natural photos that we didn't even really know where being taken. Gemma is such an easy going lovely person that I felt so comfortable with her in my home the morning of the wedding. Could not recommend enough, thank you Gemma. Charlie and Sarah xx

Fabulous - don't hesitate to book Gemma!

Gemma managed to capture the day perfectly. We didn't know Gemma beforehand, but spoke to her after looking at her website and got a good vibe so booked her! We met before the wedding to visit the venue and talk through what we wanted, and didn't want. Don't hesitate to book Gemma, she's fab and her photos are amazing. My only regret is not having her stay on longer to have more photos to look through and capture some of the evening, which she was very willing to do at short notice.
