Storytelling Documentary Wedding Photographer
Based in London, Capturing Love worldwide!
Unfiltered, unscripted, unforgettable.
I don’t do stiff poses, cheesy smiles, or “look over here” moments. Life doesn’t work like that, and neither should your wedding photos.
Instead, I chase the laughter that sneaks up on you, the secret glances no one else notices, and the dance moves that are slightly… questionable. I shoot on 35mm film, Super 8, and digital, blending textures and tones that make your day feel alive, tactile, and real.
Your wedding is a wild, messy, beautiful story, and I follow it with a camera, capturing the little pieces that make it yours. The result? Honest, unrepeatable images that make you smile, tear up, and relive it all over again.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Gemma as our wedding photographer. She has such a talent for documentary photography, she managed to capture so much of our day without anyone ever really noticing they had a camera pointing at them! We'd chatted with Gemma beforehand about some specific inspiration and ideas, and she absolutely nailed the vision. So many of our wedding party commented on how lovely they were and how at ease they made everyone feel. All that to say, if you are considering hiring Gemma as your wedding photographer, you should absolutely go for it, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Hi I’m Gemma!
Photojournalist turned award-winning documentary wedding photographer
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.
Analogue photography makes my heart sing - it’s a process that feels as romantic as the weddings I use it to capture.
I’m a storyteller at heart and I can’t wait to tell your story.
Want me to document your authentic love story?
Let’s get the conversation started.
Let’s get social!

Frequently
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.
