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."

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
