Your wedding is more than a date in the diary.

It is the story of who you are and the people you have chosen to stand beside you.

It is the day that brings together everything and everyone that matters to you - a chapter in your love story, filled with your people, your connection, and an atmosphere that will live on long after the day itself.

The way your mum smooths your sleeve. The hug your best friend lingers in. The glance you share with each other when no one else is watching. With a documentary approach, I focus on these kinds of moments. The quiet, the loud, the tender, the electric. What you get is a gallery that feels authentic and unmistakably you. Something to return to, again and again.

  • KATHERINE & HENRY, LEICESTERSHIRE

    Gina, I cannot believe how incredibly clever you are. The photographs are everything and more. You have allowed us to relive every part of the day by capturing the memories and all the emotion from start to finish. I am so pleased we have these beautiful photographs forever.

  • Emma & Kieran, Leicestershire

    If you are searching for your wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Gina enough. She helped us feel relaxed and we had great fun, no stuffy awkward photos at all.

    From booking and planning through to the day itself, everything felt easy and organised. We knew from the start we were in safe hands, and the results speak for themselves. She captured the day so perfectly. You can feel the joy and the love in every photograph

  • Lily & Alan, Stamford

    Gina is an absolute superstar. On the day she brought brilliant energy and was a total professional. We feel so lucky she was there to capture all the magic.

    From the first message to long after the wedding, she was helpful and friendly. She answered every question, gave thoughtful advice and made everything feel easy. Honestly, she is like your cool, calm wedding best friend.

    Her photographs blew us away. Every time we look at them, we get all the feelings back.

Hey, I am Gina

DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR COUPLES WHO FEEL DEEPLY, LAUGH LOUDLY, AND VALUE WHAT LASTS. I AM BASED IN RUTLAND WORKING ACROSS LEICESTERSHIRE, THE EAST MIDLANDS AND BEYOND.

I am warm, confident, and quietly tuned in. Always aware and always present, knowing when to step back and when to take charge. You will move through the day with ease, fully yourselves, backed by someone who knows exactly what to look for.

My eye was shaped by music videos and memories captured on film — back when you had to wait, and every frame mattered. That rhythm still shapes how I work. I am drawn to movement, symmetry and layered emotion. How laughter erupts, how joy moves through a room, how affection shows up when no one is watching.

Some couples choose to add 35mm film into the mix, for that tactile, nostalgic feel. It is subtle, intentional, and when layered into your gallery, it makes everything feel that little bit more alive.

I see things as they unfold and with me, that means your wedding photographs feel as good as the day did. Honest, stylish, and never forced.

DOCUMENTING YOUR WEDDING IN A WAY THAT feels Elegant, relaxed, and unmistakably you.

You will know if this is for you

THE ENERGY, THE EMOTION, THE PEOPLE: YOU CARE ABOUT ALL OF IT.

You feel things deeply and laugh with your whole chest. You plan hard, care big, and don’t hold back when it matters. Your friends are chosen family. Your group chat is unhinged in the best way. You love each other loudly and want a day that reflects all of it. You are not here for a performance, you care how the wedding day felt and not just how it looked. You want wedding photographs that tell the full story: the beauty, the energy, the people who made it unforgettable.

If that sounds like you, we will get along just fine.
