About Gemma Willis Photography

Hi, I am Gemma and I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Northamptonshire and the surrounding counties. But I love to travel, so destination weddings is also something that I love to do.

I see wedding photography as telling the beautiful story of your wedding day as it happens. Which is why I work in a creative, documentary style. Wedding photography has changed somewhat over the years, I want to provide my clients with beautiful and honest images, so that they can look over them and be taken back to their wedding day as it happened.

What that means is, I won’t be expecting you and your guests to pose for hours on end. In fact, I’d prefer there be no posing at all, the biggest compliment I get is that your guests think I am also a guest. I’ll happily get a few group shots, and I like to take the happy couple off on their own for a few photos, away from the crowds. But mainly, I’ll blend into the background and photograph your day as it unfolds, honestly and naturally.

"Couldn't recommend enough!!!"

Catherine on 7 March 2019

Having met lots of pushy photographers at wedding fairs, we were instantly drawn to Gemma's laid back approach and super friendly manner. On the day she was so great, as someone who hates having my photo taken I barely noticed she was there, apart from when she made some incredible suggestions - how many brides get to ride the dodgems and the teacups on their big day! We got married nearly a year ago and still look at the photos all the time. The perfect reflection of our big day.

"Simply amazing"

Stephanie on 7 March 2019

I can’t praise Gemma highly enough! She’s such a friendly person and made us feel so at ease with the photos and our guests didn’t even realise half of the shots were taken, she blended in perfectly. As for the photos! Amazing! We have memories that we can cherish forever and the quality is outstanding. If you’re looking for someone who will feel more like a friend than a formal photographer and you want natural and beautiful photographs, booking Gemma is a no brainier!
