About

It’s my job and my passion to capture genuine moments exactly as you remember them, so you have a complete record of all the special, funny, emotional and crazy moments that made up your wedding day.

It’s important to me that the photographs I take are honest, so you won’t find my work to be over-stylised. I want your images to last a lifetime and not become dated and I believe this is done by producing beautifully lit, and sympathetically edited images.

Lots of photographers advertise themselves as being discreet, I prefer appropriate. During your ceremony I will definitely be as unobtrusive as possible but when the party starts you’ll find me in the middle of the dance floor grabbing those action shots. You’ve got to be in it to win it!

Above all, I promise to listen to you and do things your way. I’m not big on drama, I like things to be relaxed and fun. The best way to achieve this is to do everything I can to make sure that your big day is running exactly the way you want it to. I want every smile, in every photo, to come from the heart.

I offer a full day and a half day package; and by-the-hour photography for smaller ceremonies.

100% recommend

Emma photographed our wedding on the 28th May 2022 and the photos are AMAZING! They were back to us within 3 weeks of the wedding and there are so many! She was so calm the whole day. Emma really listened to everything we asked for and captured everything we wanted. The photos show Emma was able to be everywhere on the day of the wedding and you definitely captured little moments that we as the bride and groom didn't get to see ourselves.

One thing I loved was that Emma was at the venue from getting ready, guests arriving and stayed till the party was getting going so we have photos from the whole day which is really special.
I would 100% recommend Emma again!

Thank you so much!
Sophie & Ben

Just Perfect!

We booked Emma knowing great we would not skimp on the price. We had an engagement shoot which showed us the quality of Emma’s work and they were used on our wedding website.
We have just got the final wedding shots through and they are amazing! Loads of amazing shots that made us laugh and cry!
If I can give you any advice, book Emma. You will not be diss appointed!
