MEET EM

I’m Em, and I’m the one you’ll see on your wedding day with the camera. I often get told by my couples that they feel like they’ve known me forever, and that it’s like spending time with a friend.

That sums up so well how I want you to feel, I want you to feel like you can be yourselves and totally relax. I’m a bit of an introvert, but I’m also an absolute ninja when it comes to documenting your wedding.

I will work tirelessly to document every important moment for you because let’s be honest, weddings are full to the brim with joy, but they happen so fast. I’m witnessing your day, solely focussing on preserving each incredible memory you make. Outside of the world of weddings I’m a mum of two boys (three if you include my husband), I am the Harry Potter generation, I live for noodles and I drink way too much coffee (more recently decaf, because you know, I’m not an animal).

ABOUT EM

My mum is my biggest influence creatively. We spent so much time in London visiting incredible galleries and doing evening courses at our local university when I was just a kid. She was the one to hand me my first camera when I was 12, an Olympus OM20 (35mm film camera) and I somehow surpassed the generic ‘I want to take pictures of nature’ phase, and went straight into portraiture in a documentary style.

Being artistic is in my nature, I only came to realise I was actually good at it through school, then later uni and now as my career and absolute passion. I’m here living my dream job, hanging out with incredible couples and their families, making images I love and my clients treasure. I get to do the school run most days (thank goodness for summer holidays), walk my little woof at the beach and make my husband dinner. I’m not sure how I got so lucky, but I’m so connected to my business I really see it as another facet of my identity.

MY BOYS.

These 3 are my absolute world. They are my ‘why’.

When Fin was born, I knew I needed to make a change with my career and photography was the one constant in my life that I felt I could make a real go with. We moved house just before covid lockdown and that was the perfect opportunity to build my foundations for my business and move into the direction of weddings. As soon as lockdown finished there was a huge wedding boom, and I’ve been in that busy bubble ever since. My career works perfectly for my family, it feeds my creativity and I’m honestly the happiest I’ve ever been.

When my boys grow up I’ll encourage them to pursue their passions, because if you really love what you do, you’ll go far!

‘Where do we start?! Emily was amazing for the whole day, we couldn’t have asked for anything more! Not only were our wedding photographs stunning, they arrived really quickly and there were so many of them! Emily took on far more than just being a photographer, helping to move the cake for shots, giving the groom his button hole and generally was a massive help on the best day of our lives. She delivered beautiful photos of us in both colour and black & white and I love that you can send a link to all your family and friends for them to login and see as well. The day was dry, but very windy, but that didn’t stop Emily. She handled everything really professionally and made sure to capture things that were important to us and what we’d asked for. 11 out of 10 for everything. Thank you Emily, we can’t wait to be able to show these photos to our family and potential children in years to come’
