About Gemma Cullen: Liverpool Wedding Photographer
Getting to know your wedding photographer is super important! It helps create a relaxed vibe for your big day, which is exactly what you want. When you and your photographer click, it makes the whole experience of taking photos so much more more enjoyable. My couples often want to have fun and share some laughs while capturing those special moments, and building that rapport can really make a difference.
Growing up, I was always fascinated by technology, particularly computers, but my dad had a passion for photography that really shaped my childhood. I would often find myself sitting in his dark room where he was developing photos he'd taken. I was captivated by the magic of photo development, especially for those who remember the days of film.
After earning my degree in computing science at Staffordshire University, I kicked off my career as a web designer. Eventually, I felt the urge to pass on my tech knowledge, which led me to become a secondary school teacher—let's just say I got pretty good at managing big groups of people! While teaching full-time, I took my camera on adventures, snapping photos of landscapes, nature, and even some intriguing derelict buildings. However, I had never really ventured into portrait photography until one day in Liverpool, where I decided to try my hand at street photography. Capturing those fleeting expressions on people's faces was exhilarating and ultimately guided me toward wedding photography.
Now, years later, I find myself documenting your wedding day and weaving your unique story through my lens. I take immense pride in doing what I love and running a business that I built from the ground up. It truly doesn’t feel like work, and I couldn’t be happier!

Cats every time. I have ragdolls called Daisy and Charlie (Although they only answer to Chaz and Daze!)
