About

Emerald Photo UK is a Bristol-based documentary wedding photographer covering Bristol, Bath and the whole South West — and always happy to travel further. Run by Eszter, it's built around one simple idea: your wedding should look and feel like YOU, not like a set of stiff poses. Originally from Hungary and now based near Bristol, Eszter has photographed a lot of weddings, and what she loves most are the real, honest, slightly chaotic moments that actually make a day yours.

Her style
Eszter's approach is relaxed, unposed and documentary. She stays right in the middle of the day and captures it as it truly happens: the laughter, the quiet moments, the confetti, the nan who finds the dancefloor and never leaves. She's not interested in lining people up against a wall for twenty minutes; she'd far rather couples actually enjoyed their day while she catches the moments worth keeping. Most couples say they barely noticed she was there, and that's exactly the point.

Who she photographs
Every couple is welcome at Emerald Photo UK, exactly as they are. Two brides, two grooms, big traditional families, quiet elopements: Eszter photographs real people and real love, with warmth and zero judgement. She has a soft spot for weddings that break the rules: city venues, alternative celebrations, colourful parties and intimate gatherings. And couples who feel awkward in front of the camera? They're her favourite, because when you don't have to pose, you can be yourselves, and that's where the best photos come from.

Services offered
Emerald Photo UK offers documentary wedding, elopement and couples photography across Bristol, Bath and the South West. Whether it's six guests or two hundred, no wedding is too big or too small. Eszter works calmly and unobtrusively all day, and every couple receives a gallery of natural, beautifully edited images that give them their real day back: the feelings, the details, and the moments they'd otherwise forget. To check availability, couples can send a message with their date and venue.

Absolutely fantastic service

We booked Eszter for our day back in October 2021 and never looked back. She was professional, polite and all of our guests loved her. She produced some incredible photos that we will treasure forever. I would highly reccomend her services and can't thank her enough!

Something different

Eszter captured our special moments on our wedding day. We loved her quirkiness and how she captured our colourful day with the photos. Eszter worked very hard to consider how she was to capture our day on camera. Taking in all the elements and backgrounds. Eszter gave more than was expected and we were impressed.

A trusted partner for the most important day of your life

Eszter from Emerald Photo UK is the best partner in photography if you have a wedding. We've chosen her for his kind and professional attitude at the same time. On our wedding she was one of the happiest, it looks like she truly love what she does. It was good to see her as a a pleasant phenomenon not just a service person who works for money. Of course, she was there at every important part and haven't missed any second to shoot the best photos of us and our moments. We are glad to watch our photos again and again and never regret that we had invited Eszter as our wedding photographer.

Skilled, enthusiastic, reliable photographer

I had little time to organize the wedding. I found the photographer online, whom I didn't know before. We talked, met in person and decided that it would be Eszti. Really wonderful pictures were taken. Every photographed moment reflects the mood of the day. I can recommend!
