East Midlands Wedding Photographer - Gina
Hi, I am Gina, most people call me G.
I am based in Rutland, I photograph weddings across the East Midlands, and I will happily travel across the UK for the right day.
I am the person who notices things. The way someone’s face changes when they see you. The friend who is quietly keeping everyone steady. The laugh that comes out of nowhere and makes the whole room loosen.
I love weddings for the exact reason they are hard to explain. It is one day, but it contains years. Family history, friendships, new chapters, old chapters, and that strange feeling of time moving too fast while you’re still inside it.
That is why I care about this work the way I do.
ELEGANT, EFFORTLESS, AND UNMISTAKABLY YOU….
I strongly believe that wedding photographs are not 'content'. They’re for later, for the years when life moves on and you want to be able to come straight back to how it felt, not only how it looked.
On a wedding day, you will find me calm, warm, attentive - I am very good at reading a room. I will help things feel easy, I will keep things moving when they need momentum, and I will never make your wedding feel like a photoshoot. You also don’t need to be “good at photos”. Most people aren’t, you just need to be yourselves.
I care about what is real, and I care about what is beautiful. I am intentional with light and composition, but never at the expense of feeling. Alongside digital, I also shoot 35mm film for couples who love that timeless, tactile quality, and I offer highlight films for those who want to experience the day in movement and sound too.

A bit of life, because you are trusting me with yours...
Home in the East Midlands is full. I live with my husband, our two kids, and a black Labradoodle with more energy than the rest of us combined.
I am drawn to work that is honest and human, probably because day to day life is exactly that. Beautiful, chaotic, funny, emotional, imperfect.
Being invited into a wedding is a privilege. It is intimate, it matters and I don’t take it lightly.
I was a contestant on 'The Chase' in 2019. One thing off the bucket list ticked off!
I was born and raised in London and moved to the picturesque county of Rutland in 2014.
I have travelled a fair few places in the world. The last count was 90 cities in 23 countries.
Before life as an East Midlands Wedding Photographer
Before wedding photography, I was a primary school Deputy Headteacher in Essex. I cared deeply about that job, and I gave it everything.
Then I had my children, and life shifted. Photography found me again through them. Taking pictures of my own family quietly became the thing that brought me back to myself. A friend asked me to photograph her family, then another, then weddings arrived, and I never looked back.
Sometimes I wish I started years earlier but mostly I am incredibly grateful I listened when it pulled me in.

five questions to ask yourself before booking a wedding photographer
If you are looking for wedding photography that’s elegant, effortless, and truly reflective of who you are…
Let’s talk about your day, your vision, and how you want it to be remembered. I’ll capture it candidly as it unfolds, with calm direction when it helps, not constant posing or awkward interruptions. Think genuine laughter, quiet in between moments, joyful tears, the energy of your people, and the rhythm of the day as it actually felt.
I am based in the East Midlands and photograph weddings across the UK, including Rutland, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and beyond.
If you want photographs that feel unmistakably you, and only get more meaningful with time, I’d love to hear what you are planning.
