Gemma McAuley Photography

General information

Hello there! I'm Gemma, a professional wedding and portrait photographer both here in the UK and abroad. It's great to have you stop by and I can't wait to hear from you to discuss all your photography plans!

Here's a little bit about me and how I got into photography; where to start? Well, I'm a Mum and Wife and have been married for 8 years, to my husband Brendan. Our wedding was what reignited my love for photography and the journey so far has been awesome!

When I'm not attached to my camera, you'll usually find me running around like a mad woman at one of the many fitness classes I attend or relaxing with glass of wine. If I had to describe myself in just a few words, they would be; fun-loving, gin drinker, freethinker, ever-the-optimist, a smiler, happy!!

Photography is my passion and I have worked hard to turn that passion and love into my profession, seeing me complete a BA (Hons) in Photography and studying for my PGCE along the way. More recently, I was nominated by my bride and grooms in the The Great Northern Wedding Awards and won 3rd place in my category for the best female photographer!!

Based in Darwen, Lancashire, my work is mainly centred in the North West but I also LOVE to travel, so if your planning a destination wedding or something further afield I definitely need to hear from you!

My approach is; friendly, natural and relaxed, so you'll hardly even know I'm there.
