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

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 everything and everyone that matters to you - a chapter in your love story, filled with your guests, your connection, and an atmosphere that will live on long after the wedding 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 is authentic and unmistakably you. Something to return to, again and again.

  • Nico & Keiran, LEICESTERSHIRE

    “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.”

  • Emma & Kieran, Leicestershire

    “If you are searching for your wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Gina enough. She helped us relax and we had great fun, no stuffy awkward photos!

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

  • Lily & Alan, Stamford

    “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.”

I am Gina Fernandes

DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR COUPLES WHO LIVE FULLY AND VALUE WHAT LASTS. BASED IN RUTLAND WORKING ACROSS LEICESTERSHIRE, THE EAST MIDLANDS AND BEYOND.‍ ‍

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.

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, we will get along just fine.
