LuxLife Magazine’s 2026 Wedding Photographer Of The Year (Lancashire)
Relaxed & Timeless
Relaxed, natural wedding photography for couples who want to enjoy their day rather than perform for it.
Light-filled, natural and full of feeling… photographs that capture the big moments, the little things and everything in between, without making your day feel like a photoshoot.

ABOUT EMMA
THE WAY I PHOTOGRAPH A WEDDING
Quiet when it matters, A little more involved when it helps, but never bossy.
I won’t ask you to perform for the camera.
I’ll watch, I’ll wait, I’ll anticipate what’s about to happen.
I’ll photograph your guests trying not to cry, your best friend losing it during the speeches, the little glance between you when nobody else is looking, and the ridiculous dance moves that definitely weren’t part of the plan,
And yes, I’ll still take you off for those epic portraits in the good light.
I’ll gently guide you when you need it, but for most of the day, I’m simply there, paying attention to everything.
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE ME THERE
I’ll probably fix your veil or collar, I’ll pin on a buttonhole, I’ll carry your bouquet.
I’ll share my mints with you before the ceremony, learn your family politics at lightning speed and shed a little tear when your grandma does.
I’ll encourage you to go outside for ten minutes because the light is absolutely banging.
I may occasionally disappear into a bush for a photograph… It’s all part of the job.
But underneath all of that, my aim is really simple: to make having your photograph taken feel easy.
“Thank you so much for making us feel amazing, and for capturing our day so perfectly!”

OVER A DECADE OF WEDDINGS
I’ve photographed more weddings than I can count, in all sorts of places and all sorts of weather. Big weddings, small weddings, country houses, city celebrations, marquees in the garden, French châteaux and Italian villas.
The beautifully organised ones, and the ones where absolutely nothing goes according to plan!
After more than ten years of photographing weddings, I’ve learnt that the best photographs usually happen when people forget they’re being photographed.
I know when to step forward, I know when to step back, and I know when to leave you alone and let the moment happen.

BEHIND THE LENS
I’M EMMA
I am a cake-loving, dog-cuddling, fresh air and walks kind of girl. I like to shoot 35mm film in my spare time, love getting on the dancefloor and am a serious people watcher.
Home for me is in the North West of England, where I live and work as a Lancashire Wedding Photographer. I love it here as I have easy access to lots of incredible venues in and around Preston, Lytham, Clitheroe, The Ribble Valley, Manchester, Cheshire and The Lake District. I love to travel though, so will go anywhere you need me!
