Hello!

I’m Emma…

I’d love to hear all about your wedding plans and would love even more to join you on your day and capture it all. I’m passionate about what I do and love creating and capturing genuine, candid moments. I’m there to document the joy, laughter, emotion and beauty of your wedding day.

This guide is designed to answer some questions about your wedding photography but if you have any more, just ask anytime!

What to Expect

A wedding day you can enjoy!

My goal is to create and capture genuine and authentic moments, which will be treasured for years to come. I am here to help you to enjoy your wedding day and to help make it what it should be : one of the happiest days of your life.

You want to be able to just enjoy your day while I’ll blend into the background to capture a perfect combination of unposed moments and show-stopping portraits, as well as provide support whenever you need it. If you are unsure about having your photo taken you are not alone! Most people tell me this and although I work in a mostly unobtrusive way, I am more than happy to gently prompt you and give you some guidance where needed to get the absolute best from your wedding photos.

just perfect

”Emma photographed a friends wedding and I was so wowed by the photos I knew I wanted her at my own! She put us so at ease on the day that it felt like having a friend there and her natural style of photography which told the story of the day was just perfect.”

Rebecca + Adam

I know you will probably want some family photographs of your nearest and dearest, this is the one day you are all together and celebrating in the most beautiful setting… I also know you probably don’t want a photographer who shouts over all of your guests and takes over the whole day! I like to work quickly and quietly for any of the slightly more formal photos, so that you you can enjoy the day, be with your guests and and also not have to stand around for hours on end posing.

I also know you will want some epic shots to capture the two of you and your venue… We will keep it super relaxed and have a little wander around and a chat so there is no need to worry about having to pose awkwardly or being away from your guests for too long.

DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY

I have been loving using my drone at weddings over the last year! This is very much weather and location dependant… but if we luck out with a dry day and no wind, we can create some magic…

so attentive

“There are no words to explain how absolutely perfect our wedding photos are!

From start to finish Emma has always been so attentive and everyone commented on not only how discreet she was throughout the day, but also how friendly and kind. It was an honour to have Emma a part of our wedding, from the moment we first spoke to the moment we got our photos. Thank you so much for capturing our day so perfectly.”

YOUR QUESTIONS

Q: ARE WE ALLOWED TO PRINT AND USE THE PHOTOS WE DOWNLOAD?

Yes! As long as you don’t use the images for financial gain you can pretty much do as you like with them! They will be high resolution and won’t have any watermark logos across them, so you’ll be able to print them and hang them on your walls.

Q: HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?

This can vary hugely depending on the length of your day, how many guests you have, and whether you book a second photographer. Typically it ranges from around 300 – 600, but I always aim for quality over quantity.

Q: ARE YOU INSURED?

Yes! I have public liability, professional indemnity, and equipment insurance just in case anything happens to my kit.

Q: DO YOU HAVE BACK-UP CAMERAS?

Yes. I always bring back up equipment to every wedding in case something goes wrong.

Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE POORLY ON THE DAY?

I am part of a large network of photographers who I can call on to step in if the worst did happen and for some reason I had an emergency on the day. I have stepped in for others in the same situation. I would only ever send a professional photographer if this did happen.

Q: HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?

You will receive the full set of images to view and download from your online gallery within 6 weeks of the wedding date. If you are on social media, and happy to share a few photos this way, I can post a preview a couple of days after the wedding.

Q: IF WE CHOSE THE SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER OPTION, WHO WOULD THIS BE AND HOW DOES THAT WORK?

I have a small selection of great colleagues who second shoot for me regularly, and I for them too. Your second photographer would be someone I trust who shoots in the same way that I do! They hand their cards to me at the end of the day and I process both sets of images together to make one cohesive set.

Q: HOW CAN WE BOOK YOU?

If you think you might like to go ahead and book me to photograph your wedding, just pop me an email and I can send over a booking form for you, with details of how to pay the £350 deposit.

Q: WHEN IS THE FINAL PAYMENT DUE?

The remainder of the payment will be due two weeks before the wedding date. I usually send a reminder out about a month before, along with a questionnaire to gather the final details of what’ll be happening on the day.

BOOK WITH ME
