Gemma C Photography is now flying a drone for all things wedding related

A drone shot of people standing in a heart shape

Gemma C Photography is a talented wedding photographer based in Suffolk. Owner Gemma Cook tells us more about her business: 

"What got me into photography? I would first say my dad. I'm 27 and, at the age of 14, my dad took my sister and I to some photography workshops and from there I never left the camera. I have since learnt different techniques that have helped develop my small photography business. For example, I recently bought a drone and learnt how to use it for a wedding at Langham Hall in Essex. The groom's brother owns Langham Hall and it was an honour to photograph there. The couple told me they wanted a heart under the drone and they immediately got themselves into this heart without any of my help. I thought I was going to have to use rounder cones or something to show what a heart would look like from above, but they knew exactly what I was going for. Alongside this, I also filmed the couple on a walk, which can be seen on my Instagram page, www.instagram.com/gemma.c.photography. I am looking to explore more drone footage with weddings booked in 2025 and 2026.

A bride and groom underneath a veil

"This year I have also recently been to a couple of wedding fairs, showcasing my photography, including Stoke by Nayland and Trinity Park, and I feel that this is a great way to meet couples who are looking for wedding photography. For the wedding fairs, I printed a photo to go on canvas that shows the bride's veil floating over the couple's heads taken at Hintlesham Golf Club, and this photograph was chosen by the couple for a print package. It gives me so much happiness when the bride and groom love their photos and the memories captured. I very much enjoy talking to people and showing them my portfolio. I shoot in a very natural style, which a lot of couples have mentioned is what they like so much about my work. I will continue to look forward to meeting new couples at these wedding fairs! 

"Sadly, two years ago, my dad passed away from terminal cancer at the age of 60. I hope I always make my dad and my family proud by photographing weddings and families, but without him, I would not have learnt so much about cameras. So in a way, my photography is always in honour of my dad."

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The journey that begins with "will you marry me" and ends with "I do" transforms a couple's lives in multiple ways, but it also involves a huge number of decisions, as planning a wedding is no mean feat. Every guest will have an opinion on what a wedding should be like: from what's classy and tacky, to which traditions should be followed and which can be discarded. To help prospective couples get a grip on what these potential guests hope to see in a wedding, YouGov's new Big Survey on Weddings examines all these key debates about what should and shouldn't feature on the big day, including looking at the decisions that brides and grooms would make themselves. The study is part a Big Surveys project: a series of in-depth surveys on British society. It was conducted between 7-9 August 2026, with a sample of 1,784 adults in the UK aged 18 and above.
