Gemma Holly Wedding Photography

Based in Limehouse and photographing weddings across London and the South East, I specialise in natural, documentary-style wedding photography for adventurous, creative couples. With over 15 years’ professional experience, my work focuses on telling the real story of your day — the small, unscripted moments, the gentle glances, the laughter and the quiet in-betweens — all captured with a relaxed, friendly approach. What sets me apart is a blend of calm professionalism and a willingness to get stuck in. Think of me as a fly-on-the-wall wedding day photographer who’s also happy to climb a tree or lie in the mud for the right shot. I love photographing alternative and unconventional weddings — if you’re not the “average couple”, you’ve probably landed here because you want something different, and that’s exactly what I aim to deliver: authentic, adventurous wedding photos that reflect who you really are. My approach is personal and collaborative. Before the wedding we’ll have a proper chat so I can learn what matters to you; many couples choose a pre-wedding engagement shoot so we can get to know each other and feel comfortable on the day. On the wedding day I favour unobtrusive, documentary-led coverage, stepping in with gentle direction when needed to create beautiful, timeless portraits without awkward posing. Over the years I’ve been privileged to work with wonderful couples and memorable people, and those experiences inform the warmth and confidence I bring to every job. My priority is to hand you a collection of professional wedding photos that feel intimate, joyful and uniquely yours — images you’ll want to relive again and again. While weddings are my core focus, I also offer relaxed outdoor family shoots locally. If you’re planning an elopement, micro-wedding or full celebration and want a photographer who values personality, light-heartedness and story-led imagery, get in touch — I’d love to hear about your plans and help you capture them.
