Gem Clack is a Bicester-based wedding photographer specialising in candid, 'fly-on-the-wall' wedding and engagement photography. Warm, relaxed approach to creating timeless, natural wedding photos.
Hi — I’m Gem, the photographer behind Portraits by GC, based in Bicester, Oxfordshire. I absolutely love photographing weddings and specialise in a candid, documentary-style approach. My aim on the day is simple: be unobtrusive, tell the real story of your wedding and capture those small, honest moments that make your day uniquely yours. My love for photography began as a teenager and grew through a degree in History of Art & Philosophy where I studied modules in photography. That background feeds into how I see and frame a scene — I look for emotion, texture and the quiet gestures that become treasured memories. On wedding days I work as a ‘fly on the wall’, blending into the background so I can document connection, laughter and the unscripted moments that matter most. Working with couples is my favourite part of the job. Before your wedding I like to get to know you both — a relaxed chat, and an optional engagement shoot if you’d like, helps calm nerves and creates natural, confident photos on the day. My process is approachable and friendly: we’ll discuss the flow of the day, your must-have shots, and how I can capture the atmosphere of your venue in Bicester, across Oxfordshire or further afield. I love travelling for weddings, so distance is never a barrier to creating beautiful images together. On the day I balance documentary coverage with a handful of timeless portraits so you have both candid moments and composed images to cherish. My editing aims for a natural, timeless finish that keeps the warmth and emotion of the day intact. While weddings are my core focus, I also work on portrait and product photography — but my heart lies in wedding and engagement work, where storytelling and real moments take centre stage. If you’re looking for a Bicester wedding photographer who values authenticity, warmth and a relaxed atmosphere, I’d love to hear about your plans. If my style feels right for you, let’s have a chat and see how we can capture your day in a way that feels genuine and lasting.
