About this supplier

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: August 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, 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!

Thank you Emma!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Emma! From the moment we met her, it felt like having another friend there with us on the day. She was so kind, patient and calm, and always seemed to be in exactly the right place at the right time without ever feeling intrusive.

Emma took the time beforehand to really talk through what we wanted, and she spent such a long day with us, which we really appreciated. The photos are absolutely beautiful and capture our day so perfectly. We especially love the photos of our son and the moments from our ceremony, they are so precious to us and we’ll treasure them forever.

Thank you so, so much, Emma, for capturing our special day so beautifully. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough! ❤️

More Than a Photographer — The Perfect Person to Capture Our Day

We honestly couldn’t recommend Emma Larking Photography enough! From the moment we booked Emma, she was absolutely brilliant. She was always so prompt with replies and even put up with all our silly questions beforehand — including whether the fans would get in the way of our photos! 😂

On the wedding day itself, we felt completely at ease with Emma. My husband isn’t the most confident when it comes to having his photo taken, but even he felt totally comfortable, which made such a difference. The photo ideas she came up with were absolutely on point, and she somehow managed to capture all the little moments and important people that meant so much to me.

Emma was also fantastic at communicating with our content creator both before and during the wedding, making sure they worked seamlessly together and weren’t getting in each other’s way. It made the whole experience feel so organised and stress-free.

She was also so confident with our guests and knew exactly how to get everyone together for the photos without wasting precious time — which is SO important on a wedding day when every minute counts!

Emma captured every photo we wanted and so many moments we didn’t even realise were happening, and we now have the most incredible memories of our wedding day to look back on.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, organised, friendly and makes you feel completely comfortable, Emma is your girl. We honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough! ❤️

We cannot recommend Emma enough.
From the moment we met her she was lovely and immediately put us at ease.
She was so easy going friendly and professional
And nothing was ever to much trouble.
Having Emma there at our wedding felt less like having a photographer but more like having a friend with us. She made us feel comfortable and captured all those special moments.
We’re so grateful for Emma for making our day even more special for capturing those beautiful memories that we will treasure for ever.
Thank you very much Emma.
we would not hesitate to to recommend you to anyone else looking for a photographer 💕

Far More Than Just a Photographer!

"If you want a photographer who brings an incredible sense of peace to your wedding day, you need to book Emma. She was the steady calm in the middle of our joyful chaos, watching over us and anticipating every single need. Her talent is undeniable—she captured stunning portraits of us, but her real magic was how she fit into our guest list. By blending in so beautifully, she captured the honest, laughing, tear-filled candid photos that truly represent the happiness of our day.

Don't hesitate for a single second; get her locked in before someone else does!"

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! ❤️📸
