Beverley-based wedding photographer specialising in relaxed, natural storytelling images. Gemma captures authentic moments from engagement shoots to bridal portraits.
Gemma Hopkin Creative is a specialist wedding photographer based in Beverley, East Yorkshire, known for relaxed, natural and creative storytelling photography. With a background in film and a BA Hons in Photography, Gemma brings a narrative eye to every wedding, capturing the small, emotive details as well as the big, joyful moments. Her mantra, 'Your Day, Your Story', means she focuses on true connection and real emotion — not stiff poses — so your photographs feel genuine and timeless. Why choose Gemma? She blends professional experience with a warm, personable approach that instantly puts couples at ease. Having worked with major media and design clients, Gemma applies that polished visual sensibility to weddings while keeping the atmosphere calm and joyful. Whether it’s a seaside elopement, a countryside manor, or a cosy local venue, she knows how to work with natural light and location to create images that reflect the spirit of your day. What makes her approach special is the balance between creative direction and unobtrusive observation. Gemma can suggest setups and styling to help shape the look and feel of your gallery, but she’s equally comfortable blending into the background to document candid moments — laughter, tears, and all the little in-between gestures that make your day unique. Engagement sessions and bridal portraits are treated as relaxed storytelling moments that help you feel comfortable in front of the lens before the wedding day. How Gemma works with couples is straightforward and collaborative. She likes to get to know you, often meeting for a coffee and, if possible, visiting the venue together to plan logistics and capture the best light. On the day she is calm, organised and friendly, helping the day flow while ensuring those important memories are preserved. The result is a carefully edited collection of professional wedding photos that transport you back to the emotion of the day. Passionate about family, connection and visual storytelling, Gemma creates wedding photography that feels personal and familiar — images you’ll want to display and share for years to come. If you want a Beverley wedding photographer who prioritises heart, narrative and natural beauty, Gemma Hopkin Creative is ready to tell your story.
