About this vendor
I have been photographing beautiful stories for over 10 years, highlighting the love that every couple offers to each other. You have said I "Do" and now carefully selecting each detail associated with the wedding from the wedding gown, to the floral decor, that it is essential that a professional trained eye is hired to execute the day perfectly. From the toddler flower girl, to your lovely grandparents, it is important to also include them in your collection because moments like these soon become only a precious memory. I create timeless, elegant images that will be raved for anniversaries to come. As you view thru my photo collection, you will see my passion and dedication that I place on every wedding celebration. My name stands behind every shot taken and I will only deliver the best.

Gema was so great. The pictures are amazing too. I am so happy with them!
Gema was absolutely amazing! With a single photographer we received more pictures than we could have hoped for. She did an excellent job managing everyone and even getting the youn...
g the kids to cooperate and smile. She was so sweet and even sent us prints of some of her favorite photos along with the USB.
Wonderful photographer! I absolutely love my photos! She is a must for any wedding or event.

hings about working with Gema. She's fun and she has great ideas. You can't go wrong with her.
Gema ROCKS!! She is a amazing photographer who captures your story with photos. She has passion & dedication to you and your wedding day like no other.
My husband and I toured Castle On the Lake and decided it was the venue for us. We toured the venue the morning of a wedding, and while the wedding was being set up, we were fortun...
ate to have been connected with Gema. We looked at her website and loved her work.
After deciding on her as our photographer, she was there for us every step of the way. She answered any and all of our questions. On the day of our wedding, she was not only the photographer: she jumped in to help out where needed while getting ready, as well as throughout the entire event.
Gema immediately put us at ease and made us feel very comfortable. While she had us pose for typical wedding poses that every wedding needs, she also had such a great eye and was there for every magical moment that isn't posed. After the wedding and before we received the finished photos, we wondered if certain moments were captured. We are delighted to find that every moment we had talked about was in a picture. Gema has such an eye for detail and knows exactly what looks natural and how to capture amazing events in a memorable way. She took the vision we had and intertwined it with her professional and creative insights.
In our opinion, Gema is second to none.
Gema is so much fun to work with! She is extremely talented and is the best wedding photographer in East Texas. She shot my wedding, as well as my sister's. I wanted to use her aft...

eded, and it's very clear that she's very passionate about what she does. You can tell that she puts effort into every picture she takes. She captured all of our special moments and turned it into something sincerely beautiful! It took my breath away when I saw them. I'm forever grateful and I'm so thankful that she was my photographer. You will not be disappointed!

eat work and has been very responsive. She has great packages and did ours for the whole day (8hrs) When she was there, she was there when we needed her to be (during the ceremony and the reception) and helped guide my wife through the details (how to cut the cake) and get people organized for group photos. Such a pleasure to work with!

blessed to have such wonderful wedding photos that I can cherish for years to come! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
Wedding planning is so stressful and having to deal with multiple vendors can get overwhelming but I am so happy Gema made this experience pleasant and smooth sailing. It rained du...
ring our first scheduled engagement session appointment and she was quick to schedule us on a different date. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL! I love how comfortable we felt at the session and how funny she can be. She made us laugh and love how she captured it! Our family love love love our wedding photos. We had a large wedding party but she took control of the situation and grateful she knew what she was doing because at that point I wanted to leave to our honeymoon lol But honestly if I could redo it, I would have no wedding party and more time taking photos with her. I know she does these cute anniversary sessions and will be calling her for ours in the future!
My wife was having such a hard time preparing for the wedding and Gema was so sweet answering her messages and any questions we had. We had such a great time on our wedding day sho...
ot all the pictures and she made sure that all requested shots were taken. We received more than we expected and very please since some family members that we had not seen in years were captured. That meant a lot to us. Gema is the best!
After researching for a while, we selected Gema to capture our day and were not disappointed at all! WE LOVE LOVE LOVE our photos and book she designed for us! Every moment was cap...
tured and we have more than enough pics to cherish for years to come. She even got my grandmothers expression when I was walking down the aisle!!! I cried when I went through my picture and yes it was HAPPY TEARS. If you want someone who is fun and has an eye then you will not go wrong by hiring her. We will continue to use her for years to come ;)
Where shall I start....hmmmmm so much to say but most important that my photos are AMAZING!! Gema was so wonderful to work with from beginning to end. I never had to stress over he...
r. I told her my vision and dreams and she took care of us. I love how she kept talking to me and assuring me that my day will be magical even if it looked like it was going to rain and things were going a bit bonkers. Yes, not everything is perfect and our schedule went out the window, but she took care of it and made sure all photos were shot. If you want more pictures with you and your man, I suggest the first look. You get time alone and also more amazing shots together. I highly recommend her and she will always be a friend to us.
My handsome husband and I used Gema for our Engagement, Bridal, and Wedding Photographer back in 2010. Every year since then, we get with Gema and do a fun themed Anniversary Photo...
Shoot. In 2011 we did a Hot Air Balloon shoot, in 2012 we did a Grease Themed Shoot, and in 2013 we did a Hippie (1960's) Themed Shoot. Gema not only comes up with these themes, but she paints you a vivid picture of what she has in mind for the shoot. In the beginning I admit I was always a little skeptical of all her ideas for the shoot, but boy did she make me eat those words. Gema knows what she is doing behind her camera. Every single photo session has turned out AMAZING!! Even if I felt like I looked crazy in a certain position or holding something strange, you would NEVER be able to tell from her pictures. Like I said before, GEMA KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING! Gema is such a versatile photographer. She can shoot anything from traditional to "out of the box" style weddings and photo sessions. I like to let her get creative and chose a style or theme for me. We have had so much fun over the years, that I can thankfully say Gema is a really good friend of ours. She is so much fun to work with, she's full of great ideas, she goes out of her way to help with photo shoot issues that are my responsibility, she will go to hell and back to get those amazing shots (believe me!), she's not scared to try something new or different, she's dependable, she's honest, she's reliable, and I can continue to tell you how outstanding she is but I don't have too many characters left under my limit. I can promise you that Gema will be the perfect choice for your wedding needs or for just a regular photo shoot. She will work with you to meet your needs as best as she can, but just trust her judgement because she knows exactly what she is doing with that camera & flash of hers. Give her the reins, so you can relax and enjoy your photo shoot and I promise she wont disappoint you!!! #AlwaysTeamGema
We love love love our photos. If you are looking for a great photographer and someone who is awesome, fun and outgoing, look no further. She went above and beyond the call. We were...
so please with the outcome, from our engagement session to the delivering of our images on disk. PERFECTION! We appreciate all her help and look forward to being great friends and continuing to use her for future family sessions.
When it came to our wedding I knew that photography was the one area I wanted to be perfect. Gema did not disappoint one bit. Her attention to detail and color is amazing. Each pho...
to was looked at and edited with attention to detail. Not only is she a great photographer but also has become a great friend. I would highly recommend her.
Gema is wonderful! She was so good about making my husband and I feel relaxed while taking pictures. She knows just how to have you pose/stand to make the perfect pictures!
What can I say other than she is an amazing, fabulous wedding photographer who rocked my wedding photos!! I am so happy we chose her! Gema gave us creative ideas for our engagement...
session and was such a pleasure to work with. There is one thing though....you have to book her fast because she gets swamped during the wedding season. If you want amazing photos, call her! You will not be disappointed.
Gema was absolutely amazing! I could tell the first time that my husband & I met with her that she was not only extremely talented, but also a very sweet person. She even asked me...
about family & friend relationships, just to make sure everyone got along (which not all of my bridemaids did at the time, so I really appreciated this). My bridal pictures turned out stunning & the same goes for our wedding. Having been in other weddings-the photographer's attitude is so important & can definitely have a positive/negative effect on the way the wedding party & family perceive the entire wedding day experience. You want someone who will be courteous to everyone involved & doesn't let their ego get in the way. That being said, I didn't even have to worry, because Gema is sooo nice, down-to-earth, & considerate. I couldn't have picked a better photographer & I have been blown away by the amount of compliments we have received on our wedding pics. My husband and I are already planning on asking her to take our 1 year anniversary pictures! :) She is truly the best!!
Gema Blanton is an amazing photographer. She blended right in to the wedding and captured those moments that we wanted to remember. She truly deliver incredible photos that take yo...
ur breath away. From the first time my husband and I met with her through working on our album together after the wedding, she has been supportive, creative, flexible and happy. We highly recommend Gema Blanton Photography....

nd breath taking! I love them! She made sure to pay attention to details and captured beautiful, unique pictures even stuff that I missed! She was quick to respond to my emails. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding day pictures and I am so anxious to get our wedding album. Hands down she is the best at her craft!!!!
We chose Gema to shoot our wedding this year and I couldn't be happier!!! She is super sweet and easy to work with. We started to plan our wedding a year from the date and she was ...
so helpful. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos!!! I love them!! The day of the wedding she was on top of everything and didn't miss a beat. She went above and beyond. If you need some one who is going to take care of your needs, she is the one to call. I can't wait to receive my album and show it off to all my friends and family. We have made a true friend in Gema Blanton and hope to continue using her in the future once we decide to have a family.

h and every email, phone call, or text was answered promptly. I know I drove her crazy but she never lost her cool. The day of the wedding she was sharp, focused and on a mission which I love about her. I know that my wedding was being photographed by the best and the ending results would be fabulous. I recommend her to everyone!
I have raved and praised about my photographer since she shot our engagement session and continue to do so.
Not only is she a joy to be around and to work with but her talent is ...
flawless. Her pictures have given me everything I wanted and then some, a whole lot more actually. I searched high and low for a photographer because the pictures were one of the most important aspects of the wedding to me.
Not only did Gema's work amaze me but so did her packages offering so much more than any other photographer I came across.
I will recommend her to everyone who will listen. She is the best of the best in Texas!
We used Gema Blanton for my daughter's bridal session and wedding. She was outstanding. Her and my daughter just clicked right away through phone conversations without even meeti...
ng each other. And when they did meet, the relationship grew even more. My daughter was so comfortable with Gema. We loved her ideas and her excitement in her work. We are amazed at the beautiful results!!!! The pictures are breath taking. We would definately recommend Gema Blanton Photography. We were pleased 110%!!!
Most people spend a great deal of time in the selection of apparel, location, flowers, food, invitations, and more. All of this time spent is wasted if you do not have an outstand...
ing photographer to capture all of these precious moments. Gema Blanton is an exceptional photographer and she really cares about making sure that your wedding, bridal, and engagement sessions are unique to your personality and not just generic poses. When I met Gema, it was more like catching up with an old friend. She seemed to know everything that I wanted for my wedding and gave very good advice on things that I was uncertain about. As a result, all of my photos turned out to be amazing and her creativity helped to make my wedding video amazing as well! I am so thankful that I chose Gema Blanton to be my wedding photographer because for the rest of our lives, my husband and I will be able to look at these photos and feel just as wonderful as we felt on our wedding day. Gema Blanton captures happiness in her photos!
What can I saw! Gema ROCKS! She is an amazing photographer who knows her stuff! She didn't miss a beat. I love how quickly we became friends during our engagement session. We norma...
lly hate taking our pictures but she made it fun and we lost track of time. On the wedding day, I let her take control and didn't have to worry about her for the whole day. I trusted her completely and love the turn out. The photos are amazing!!! My family loves them and I am so glad that I hired her for my wedding day. I have all these great photos for years to come.
My husband and I booked Gema for our 1-year anniversary photo session and it was AMAZING! She had such fun ideas and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I'm usually not too comf...
ortable in front of the camera but she gave us just the right amount of direction for our poses that we both felt confident and really just had fun during the photo shoot. The pictures came out UNBELIEVABLE - our friends and family were stunned! She captures moments like no other and the colors in the pictures just pop! I would definitely recommend this photographer for your wedding or any other fun photo shoot!!
Gema shot my wedding last year and we are still getting compliments one year later. She was very outgoing, super sweet and such a pleasure to work with. I will keep referring her t...
o all of my family and friends because the proof is in the pictures!
I have no idea where to start besides saying Gema Blanton is an AMAZING photographer! I had the hardest time trying to find a GOOD photographer that wasn't too expensive and then p...
ops up her name during my search. I am so glad we chose her. She was very sweet from the beginning, has a great personality, and works around YOUR schedule. My bridal pictures were phenomenal and the pictures from the wedding were out of this world! If you are a bride who doesn't really know what your style is or know what poses to do...no worries..Gema is perfection! I read in a previous post that she doesn't charge enough which is absolutely true because she is just that good. During the wedding and reception I would have said she didn't take any pictures because we hardly saw her but she took over 2,000 perfect pictures! She is truly a "ninja!" Another great thing about her is your images will be ready very soon after your shoot or wedding. I hear a lot of stories of many brides waiting weeks and even months to get their wedding pictures. I waited a max of a week and a half for my wedding pictures and I think that's great for the amount of pictures that were taken. I am so elated that I will have these images to look at for the rest of my life! I wish she shot more than just weddings because I would love to do future work with her! She is such a blessing and you will not be disappointed in her work.
Here we are, sitting on the computer looking for photographers in the Tyler area. When we find a photographer that takes great pictures, they are way to expensive.
Suddenly, th...
e clouds part and we see the name Gema Blanton. Eureka! A photographer with a specific style. And as we look through her albums, we find more and more fantastic photography! But now is the part that has let us down so many times before: the price.
But the price was right! So we called her immediately! Little did we know how important that call would be. We loved working with Gema. Her packages are extremely reasonably priced, and her photography is wonderful.
The photos aren't only great, but they are very intimate, fun, and moving all at the same time. I will always recommend her to anyone that asks, and I will recommend her to anyone that doesn't ask.
My husband and I had the honor of working with Gema for our engagement session as well as our wedding. She is by far the best photographer I have ever met. Not only is she an excel...
lent photographer, but she is a wonderful person and became a friend. From the very first time I met Gema at our consultation for her services, I knew she would be the one for our wedding. She is so energetic and fun. We all were cracking up for our engagement session and the fun came out in our pictures. They are AMAZING! My husband is a police officer and hates having his picture taken, but Gema made it so enjoyable. The wedding day came and having Gema there was like having a good friend there taking your pictures rather than a "photographer". My mom, bless her, feels that she knows best when it comes to pictures. Gema was so understanding and accomodated my mom but then got the pictures that we had discussed that I wanted. Once we got the pictures back, we could not believe all of the amazing shots Gema took. She captured the essence of our wedding; a happy, exciting, fun day. Thank you simply does not seem enough for everything that she has done for my husband and myself. Gema is one in a million and we are absolutely honored to say she is our wedding photographer and friend!
I had the pleasure of working with Gema for my engagement, bridal, and wedding pictures. She is by far the best photographer I have ever met. She went above and beyond to make ever...
y shot SO special. I don't consider myself the most photogenic person, and for every single shot she posed both me and my husband so we did not look weird! : ) She takes all the time she needs to make sure she gets the best shots, and doesn't just rush or go through the motions like some photographers. She is also very flexible when choosing a date and time to take photos. Not only does she take amazing pictures, she is also a great person. She is funny, personable, and professional all at the same time. I knew the day that I met Gema that she was going to be my photographer, and we booked on the spot! If you are considering her to shoot your wedding or any other pictures, I cannot recommend her highly enough. You will NOT be disappointed in the high quality photos and the PASSION she puts into her career. Gema really helped to make my wedding day extra special by capturing all the special moments and memories on film. We will cherish her work for many, many years to come. THANK YOU, GEMA!
