…got married yesterday!!! The absolute best day was had for @chriskhand & @josiee_louisee19 at the fantastic @cheshirewoodlandweddings πŸ–€ 

It’s hard to know where to start. Every single second of the day was filled with adventure! Including a beautiful owl ring bearer, archery, axe throwing, ice creams, segways, a falconry display and just plain shenanigans. I honestly had the most incredible fun filled day celebrating with J&C and their wonderful family and friends. 

I think I also need to take a moment to mention Chris’ speech/movie… I have never, in my ten years of shooting weddings, actually SOBBED at a speech. Like uncontrollable sobbing and had to take myself away. Luckily, it turns out, it got everyone else too. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the building. Absolutely smashing job 🀩🀘🏻 

A shout to my lovely second photographer Ajay at @bluejayphotouk - you legend 🫢🏻

And a shout out to the team at @cheshirewoodlandweddings for looking after us all so well πŸ€©πŸ™ŒπŸ»

J&C congratulations!!! You’re married!! I honestly couldn’t be happier for you; you are the ultimate love story πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

Eeeeeeeep!! It’s today!! T&J’s full gallery is HERE and honestly I’ve been sat editing these with the biggest smile on my face πŸ€©πŸ–€

This day was just such a good time. From Bridgford Hall to The Canal House, beautiful people, absolute chaos in the best possible way, and Joey’s speech still living rent free in my head 🀘🏻πŸ₯Ή

I pride myself on being mostly a documentary style wedding photographer but I realise I tend to share a lot of portraits and images where I’ve prompted my couples or groups in a certain way as they make my grid look pretty. So here’s a selection of candid shots from their day that I bloody love πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

Tegan and Joey, it was a dream. I hope you love your photos as much as I do πŸ–€

**Suppliers - you’ll get to have a gander at the whole thing in a week or so, so keep your eyes on your inbox πŸ‘€

⚑️ALT WEDDING AWARDS⚑️ I was awarded a commended ⚑️ALT WEDDING AWARDS⚑️

I was awarded a commended title for going β€˜above and beyond’ at the @altweddingfair awards and honestly? I am not okay πŸ₯ΉπŸ–€

As part of the award, I got to read through testimonials written about me by my couples. I sat there and read every single one and I was just… completely overwhelmed πŸ–€ Reading their words, learning even more about what our time together meant to them, finding out the impact I’d made without even knowing, it was A LOT (in the most beautiful way) πŸ₯°

I found out things about my couples I didn’t even know. What the whole experience meant to them. The impact I’d made without even realising. And I genuinely had no idea.

The thing is… I love my couples SO much. Like, properly, genuinely, from the bottom of my weird little heart. So to find out that love lands on the other side? Everything. Absolutely everything 🀩🫢🏻

Thank you. Truly. Your words mean more to me than any award ever couldπŸ€˜πŸ»πŸ–€

That being said though, to the Alt Wedding Fair Awards team @rosierobertsbeauty and @altweddingco - I am absolutely buzzing to have my work recognised by such an incredible community. Couldn’t be happier. This means the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you πŸ†πŸ–€

⚑️DO WE REALLY NEED AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT?⚑️ It’s ⚑️DO WE REALLY NEED AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT?⚑️ 

It’s one of the questions I get asked most often by couples planning their wedding.
And honestly? I get it.

If having your photo taken sounds about as appealing as stepping on a Lego barefoot, adding another photoshoot to your wedding to-do list might seem completely unnecessary.

But engagement shoots aren’t really about the photos…

Okay, the photos are a pretty awesome bonus 🀩 But they’re also about getting comfortable in front of the camera, getting to know each other before the wedding day, having a laugh, and realising that having your photo taken doesn’t have to be awkward.

I’ve put together a new blog answering all the questions I hear about engagement shoots, including:

⚑️Why they’re worth consideringβ€¨βš‘οΈ How they can help you feel more relaxed on your wedding dayβ€¨βš‘οΈ Choosing a location that’s meaningful to youβ€¨βš‘οΈ Why perfect weather is definitely not a requirementβ€¨βš‘οΈ And why I fully support bringing alllll the cats 🐾

Head over to the blog via the link in my bio and have a read or if you’re checking this out on fb here’s the link: https://gemwrightphotography.co.uk/2026/06/02/should-we-have-an-engagement-shoot/

And here are some photos I’ve taken during engagement shoots that I LOVE πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

Writing this from a sun lounger in Morocco so you know what that means πŸŒžπŸ–€

This workaholic is (attempting to) clock off…

🀘🏻 Phone is on silent, I’ll still be lurking because I genuinely don’t know how to fully switch off, but responses to emails and messages are going to be slow. Very slow. Sun lounger slow.

Back soon, tanner and probably more relaxed than I’ve been in months πŸ₯ΉπŸ–€
