MADE FOR COUPLES WHO WANT TO LIVE THE DAY, NOT PERFORM IT

happy wedding guests looking at couple after confetti

One day, everyone who matters & all of it happening at once.

IT IS THE STORY OF WHO YOU ARE AND THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO STAND BESIDE YOU.

It is the wedding that brings together everyone who matters to you, your guests, your connection, an atmosphere that lives on long after the day itself. Most wedding photographers will tell you they capture moments. I photograph the people, because your wedding was never just about you, it was every person who travelled, dressed up, and showed up to be part of it.

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-led approach, and since 2018 photographing weddings across Rutland, Leicestershire, London and the rest of England, this is what I'm watching for, quiet or loud, tender or electric. What you get is a gallery that is authentic and unmistakably you and unmistakably them too. Something to return to, again and again.

  • "The photos make you RE-LIVE the day all over again"

    “From the very moment Gina arrived, she put everyone completely at ease. There was never any awkwardness, pressure or forced posing. And then the photos. They not only show what happened, they make you re-live the day all over again.”

    NICO & KEIRAN, LEICESTERSHIRE

  • "Joy and love in EVERY photograph.”

    “If you are searching for your wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Gina enough.

    Throughout, everything felt easy and organised. We knew from the start we were in safe hands. She captured the wedding so perfectly. You can see the joy and the love in every photograph.”

    EMMA & KIERAN, LEICESTERSHIRE

  • "Her photographs blew us away!"

    “Gina is an absolute superstar. She brought brilliant energy and was a total professional. We’re so lucky she was there to capture 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 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 emotions back.”

    LILY & ALAN, STAMFORD

DOCUMENTARY-LED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR COUPLES WHO LIVE FULLY AND VALUE WHAT LASTS. BASED IN RUTLAND PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS ACROSS LEICESTERSHIRE, LONDON AND BEYOND SINCE 2018.

I grew up on Kiss FM, 80’s & 90’s Rom com’s and with a camera in my hand. I have always been someone who feels things loudly and notices things quietly. That combination is, it turns out, exactly what documentary wedding photography needs.

I'm drawn to the moment before the moment. The atmosphere in a room before it shifts. The way joy doesn't announce itself, it arrives. I am not photographing for Instagram. I'm there for you, fully, and that means when something brilliant happens (and it always does) I'm already watching.

You’ll know if this is for you…

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

You experience 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 wedding that reflects all of it. But most of all, you want wedding photographs that tell the full story: the beauty, the energy, the guests who made it unforgettable.

If that sounds like you, I'm already looking forward to your wedding. My couples invest in their photography because they understand what it becomes, something they return to for the rest of their lives, not just something they look at once.
