Marching into the New Year

It’s a new year so I’ve given my site a bit of a makeover!  Just click on the photo of the blog you want to view.  All my wedding and portrait blogs have lots of examples of my work!  If you want to know about me and how to contact me then just click on my profile at the right hand side.

Somehow it is March already and time seems to be sneaking up on me since Christmas.  Last month a trip to Gibraltar enabled me to get up close to some wild Barbary apes.  Perhaps a bit too close…when one jumped on my back and started unzipping my bag I was a little unprepared! But I did get a chance to take some great pics of these mischievous apes in their natural habitat on the rock.

It could be time for an upgrade on the camera stakes.  My trusty Lumix G1 I’ve had for three years now helping me develop my skills and my confidence.  But now it feels like the right time to invest in a professional DSLR and take it up a notch!  So watch this space, as spring emerges so might my lens!

Abbey Mills Part Deux

On Sunday 4th Dec Gemma Warnock Photography went once more to Merton Abbey Mills.  It was a much nicer day, the weather alot better and the market alot busier! To keep me company were Jellybean cakes (my very talented friend & pastry chef Jenny Burl). We were lucky to get stalls at the front this time and the cakes were definatley drawing people over (I sampled quite a few myself)!

If anyone is interested in buying one of my prints on canvas (or in other formats) please contact me by email at gemmawarnock@yahoo.co.uk

I have some already available in the designs shown above however I have hundreds of photos from my travels in Japan, Borneo, New York and Europe aswell as quirky London shots and beautiful nature photographs.  Tell me what you are looking for and I'll post some examples! 

Testimonial - Sophie & Rich

Thank you Gemma for capturing all the right moments of our special day!  I felt at ease with Gemma straight away and from looking at her work I knew she would not disappoint.  Gemma started taking photos from early in the morning, right up until our first dance and I found it very hard which ones to choose to frame and hang up in my house as they were all equally as good as each other.  Gemma was professional and polite but also managed to get the group photos shot without the usual hassle of people not looking in the right direction etc. 

After our wedding day, it didn’t take long for the photos to be sent to me and I even got in touch with Gemma and asked her to edit a couple of them which she did for me within 24 hours.  I have recommended Gemma to friends and family as she is amazing at what she does!  Thank you Gemma for capturing my perfect day!

Merton Abbey Mills

Next date at Merton Abbey Mills Confirmed, this Sunday 4th December! 

On Sunday 20^th November I had a stall at Merton Abbey Mills craft market selling a selection of my colourful canvas prints & greetings cards!  It was a VERY cold day and a bit foggy so unfortunatley was a little on the quiet side but still a productive day and I will be giving it another go in December! 

As well as my photos to sell I will have my Wedding photography portfolio’s on display and will be available to answer any questions or queries!  Londons alternative market Merton Abbey mills also has lots of yummy places to eat and is a great place to wander on the look out for Christmas presents! 

Visitor info can be found on their website at: www.mertonabbeymills.org.uk

Couldn't resist taking this pic of the River Wandle which goes along side the market...

Watch this space for December dates when I will be there! 

Testimonial - David & Frankie

Dear Gemma

Just a note to thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special.  We were so pleased with how you made everyone feel relaxed when taking photos of them.  Nothing was too much trouble for you and you captured the relaxed atmosphere of the day perfectly, which was just what we wanted as we didn’t want it to be too formal.

When we received our photo album we couldn’t have been more delighted, it was exactly as we wanted it to be.  Everyone who has seen it thought that it was stunning.

Thank you once again

Frankie and David

Portraits in the Park

It's the perfect time of year to take some fun portraits in the outdoors and last weekend I was booked to do just that at Oaks Park.  We had an energetic shoot running and jumping around in the leaves and I am really happy with how the photos came out!  Portraits outdoors are a great way to get relaxed & fun family photos and a great idea for christmas presents!!

Autumn Colour

I took these photos at a National Trust site called Sheffield Park.  Only my mum and I could share such an extreme enthusiam for trees and colour.  It took us hours to walk around the park as we stopped at pretty much every tree gawping at the leaves and then at each other, taking photo after photo. What an amazing place, I still can't quite believe these colours are real, just beautiful.

If anyone is interested in purchasing any of these photos as prints or on canvas please email me on gemmawarnock@yahoo.co.uk
