About

Last update: January 2026

Emma Larkin Photography is a wedding photography company based in Portsmouth, Hampshire. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I prefer to think of myself as someone who captures the moments that leave you speechless altogether. With my camera in hand and an eye for life's beautiful chaos, I've been documenting love stories across three very different corners of the world – and let me tell you, love looks pretty spectacular whether it's under the desert sun in Abu Dhabi, against Dubai's glittering skyline, or in a charming countryside chapel in the UK.

Services Offered

My style is refreshingly straightforward: I believe in being invisible when I need to be and your biggest cheerleader when the moment calls for it. I'll crawl under tables to get the perfect shot of your grandmother's delighted expression, brave any weather condition (yes, even that unexpected sandstorm in Dubai), and somehow manage to capture your best angles even when you're convinced you don't have any. What sets Emma Larkin Photography apart isn't just my technical skills or my international experience – though I'd argue both are pretty solid. It's my genuine belief that your wedding day should feel exactly like you, just with someone dedicated to making sure all those fleeting moments are preserved forever. So if you're looking for a photographer who combines professional expertise with a warm, no-nonsense approach, someone who can navigate celebrations with ease while keeping things relaxed and fun, then we should definitely chat.

Emma just gets it!

From the first moment we asked Emma to do our photography we knew it was going to work beautifully.
Emma listened to us and asked us to show her what we liked and didn’t like; from this she made some suggestions and made us feel total confidence that she understood exactly what we needed from both our days.
We wanted a completely relaxed story of our wedding which reflected our relationship, our family and our friends and most importantly, everyone having the best time without poses, fixed ideas or gimmicks.
Emma checked out the venues and gave a huge amount of time and thought to considering the best times, shots and even planned the best light for each possible weather situation!
The resulting photos are incredible, they show the characters of us, our guests and the vibes of the venue and wedding.
Throughout the days, Emma was part of the party, it never felt like she was lurking or interfering, she managed to totally balance blending in with getting the best responses from our guests. We wanted natural and because of the way she works, that’s exactly what we got… plus some fantastic editing to make me look fabulous!
She just gets it!

Our Perfect Day

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Emma! From the very beginning, she was so friendly, easy to talk to, and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera (which is no small feat 😅).

On the wedding day, she was amazing — calm, organised, and somehow managed to capture every single moment without ever feeling “in the way.” When we got our photos back, we were blown away. Every shot feels so real and full of emotion — like we’re reliving the day all over again.

Thank you, Emma, for giving us the most beautiful memories. We’re so grateful for you and couldn’t recommend you more! ❤️📸
