Gemma and Josh decided to do a first look on their wedding day, having a special moment seeing each other for the first time followed by bridal party photos before the ceremony. I love it when couples do this! They get to treasure that first glimpse they get of each with just the two of them. The day always seems to run so much smoother, with plenty of time for photos, no rushing to get back to your guests and allowing for time to just relax and hang out with your bridal party, not to mention calming any pre-ceremony nerves! On Gemma and Josh’s lovely day we adventured up hills, down trenches and by the sea for photos before their ceremony and reception held at the lovely on-the-beach (literally) venue: McHugh’s of Cheltenham. Here is Gem and Josh’s story of their perfect day.

Big thank-you to my ever-incredible second-shooter and gorgeous friend Sarah xx
