More than just a photographer

Emma was fantastic from start to finish. She was recommended supplier for my venue Little Channels but she was also personally recommended by my friends that she photographed too! From first point of contact she was great answered all questions I had, I also attended a few wedding shows beforehand and she was also there so I got to meet and speak to her a few times before the big day. We had our meeting before the wedding where we went through all the photos we wanted / who we wanted them with and on the day she came fully prepared with everything on a piece of paper and she made sure I got everything I wanted. She was more than just a photographer she helped me when getting ready was on hand for anything I needed and I honestly can’t thank her enough! We now have our photos back and they are absolutely stunning all of our guests love them too and they also commented on how lovely and funny she was, I would highly recommended Bloomwood Photography.

Just Amazing!

I could not recommend Emma enough, every step of the process she was helpful, offering advice and guidance where needed. She listened to what we wanted and needed. Her knowledge on the venue and where to achieve the best photos were second to none. When not taking staged photos she blended in effortlessly and captured some great in the moment shots, my personal favourites including me dancing with my youngest daughter. It was a highlight of my evening and its so wonderful to have the photos to look back on. She problem solved on the spot with ease, pre ceremony jitters, calmed quickly, miscommunication with the DJ solved, meaning we did get our first dance which wouldn't have gone ahead without her. When she sensed I needed a break from the crowd she smoothly guided us away and allowed us the moments to have a break. I could not recommend Emma enough and you would not be disappointed if you booked her. I will cherish every photo taken forever and they perfectly capture our day. Thank you for everything xx

The best day of our lives

We honestly couldn’t recommend Emma and Ross enough. From start to finish, the service was exceptional and the photos they captured of our wedding day are absolutely incredible.

Beyond the photography, they are just genuinely lovely people. They made us feel completely at ease and helped the whole day run perfectly, working seamlessly with everyone around them.

We’re so grateful to have had them there to capture such a special day. Thank you both for everything!

5 star service from 5 start people. We would recommend Bloomwood to absolutely everyone!

The best!

Wow wow wow!
We are a couple that are not very ‘photo’ people and we can’t thank Emma enough for working with us, being patient with us and responding to our ‘not so many photos of just us two’ request.
From start to finish, Emma was a delight to have. So very professional but also so very laid back and chilled! Exactly what we needed, when we are a very ‘piss around’ couple. We felt so comfortable with her all day and it was like having another friend at our wedding. Thank you for making our day so special and thank you for making memories that will last a life time.
The photos are so beautiful. A mixture of posed pictures and pictures of ‘we didn’t even know that happened’.
And yes I did cry when I looked at the
Pictures!

Can we get married again please, and do it all again with the best photographer ever ❤️

Captured our wedding perfectly

Emma was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The pre-wedding photoshoot was such a good idea and really helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day.

On the wedding day itself, everything went so smoothly and Emma made the whole experience so relaxed and fun. We had such a good laugh taking the photos, and she captured so many beautiful moments. Every single photo has turned out absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with them! 📸❤️

Thank you so much, Emma, for being such a huge part of our special day. We would 100% recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! 🥰

Fantastic!

Massive thank you to Ross and Emma! Whilst Ross was working hard capturing all the special moments on our wedding day, Emma made sure all of the pictures reached us in no time! Absolute pleasure working with both of them. Ross is great at making couples to relax and enjoy the moment! He’s so friendly and cheerful start to finish!
Thank you

Emma & Ross were absolutely fantastic!

Thank you both so much for everything from the enquiry, pre-wedding shoot to our wedding day! Despite the challenging weather you helped make the day feel so relaxed and enjoyable and everything came together perfectly when it mattered most. We almost forgot you were even there which allowed for the best photos! We absolutely love all of our photos and the turn around on getting them back to us was incredible! Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully 💚

Thank you Emma!

First of all, Alex and I would like to say a huge thank you to Emma for being our photographer, we are so glad we chose you as the photos are just stunning. It’s a running joke (kind of hoping it will come true) that you’ll now have to be the Farr family photographer after doing our wedding and Cat & Dom’s a couple of years ago!!

Emma was so great from the very start and made everything so at ease, even when I had a bit of an overwhelming moment when leaving the house to head to the church, Emma was cool, calm and collected and just managed everything so well.

During the church ceremony, Emma got so many beautiful photos of us and when we have looked back we have both said we didn’t even realise Emma is there, which goes to show how professional and stealthy she truly is!!

We were met with plenty of rain and hail at one point on the day but that didn’t phase Emma one bit and she was more than happy go with the flow and have some of the photos done inside whilst we waited for the weather to sort itself out.

Emma was professional, funny, caring towards everyone and we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Emma for capturing our day so beautifully, you will always have a huge place in our hearts and will always be remembered as playing such a key role for our day. We couldn’t have done it without you

Outstanding

Well, where do we start, right from the initial enquiries at a wedding fair to the very last minute of our wedding we felt like this was so right. Emma on the day was sensational, the pre shoot we had was fun and made us feel comfortable and the wedding day couldn't have gone any better. Smooth, organised and natural, nothing felt forced or like we were being hearded from one place to another, the shoot just felt organic and perfect. The attention to detail in ensuring the shots were perfect was second to none, Emma didn't feel like to us a photographer there to do a job, she felt like a guest of ours and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The quality of the photos to which there were hundreds of amazing pics were outstanding. Honestly please don't hesitate to book with Bloomwood, you won't regret it. The best experience we could have ever asked for. Thankyou

The absolute best!

Emma was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She was so much fun to be around — we genuinely didn’t stop laughing — and she became such a big part of our wedding day.

From our first conversation, our personalities clicked so well, which made everything feel relaxed, easy, and completely natural. When things weren’t quite going to plan with our venue (before and on the day!), Emma was also an unexpected emotional support. She was calm, reassuring, and so kind in stressful moments, which honestly meant more to us than she probably realises.

The photos she captured are beyond beautiful. They make me cry every single time I look at them because she didn’t just capture how the day looked — she captured how it felt. I love them dearly and will treasure them forever.

We are so incredibly grateful to Emma for capturing these memories for us and for being such a wonderful presence on our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

The best choice for our day

Best decision booking Emma as our wedding photographer. She was amazing from start to finish. She was so professional and friendly, she got everyone where they needed to be and was really good with the children. She fitted in perfectly with our wedding and felt more like a guest than a photographer, she got to know everyone and made everyone feel at ease.
I’m not always fond of photos of myself, but I am in love with all the photos she took and can’t wait to put them on the wall. If you’re getting married I highly recommend her to photo your big day you won’t regret it, she was amazing.

Best Photographer you could ask for!

We first met Emma at an open day event at our wedding venue, Little Channels, and knew instantly she was the perfect photographer for us!
She took everything we discussed in our meeting and made it all come to life, even managing to round up a tipsy bride to make sure I got the dancing pictures with my girls!
Emma played the part of not only photographer, but also helped with getting me ready for my first look with my bridal party! Every picture we received is a one of a kind and tells an amazing story of our day.

You only get one wedding photographer, choose Emma you won’t regret it!


Thankyou Emma, Mr and Mrs Gray xx

The best wedding photographer 🤍

I can't thank Emma enough for capturing our wedding day 🩵
You were honestly amazing. You kept us both calm and even all our guests were saying about how lovely you were. We can't wait to see all the pictures, but if they're anything like the previews you've given us then I know we'll love them. You made 2 people that hate having their picture taken actually keep asking for more. Thank you so so much
Love Mr & Mrs Nuttall 🤍

Our wedding day at little channels

We booked Bloomwood for our wedding at the start of September and we are so glad we did! Me and my husband aren't the best in front of a camera but Emma and Ross made us feel so comfortable, we are over the moon with our photos.

Bloomwood Photography Review

From start to finish, Bloomwood Photographers (Emma & Ross) were absolutely incredible at our wedding at Apton Hall. They instantly put us at ease, blended in seamlessly with our guests, and captured the day with such creativity and care. Nothing ever felt staged or rushed – just natural, beautiful moments we’ll cherish forever.
We had initially only booked Emma for the day but Ross also turned up and was totally free of charge as they’re only based down the road from the venue. This meant every angle and every little detail of our day was captured perfectly, and it’s something we’re so grateful for.
The photos are incredible – natural, vibrant, and full of emotion. They managed to capture every special moment, from the little details to the big celebrations, and looking back through the photos truly takes us straight back to the day. Our family and friends have all commented on how amazing the shots are and how friendly they were.
Thank you so much for giving us memories we will treasure forever. We can’t recommend Bloomwood Photographers highly enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
