About

I’m Emma, a Hampshire wedding photographer who captures the good stuff. The belly laughs, the emotional hugs, the absolute carnage when the dance floor kicks off.
I’m here for couples who want to feel completely at ease on their wedding day, knowing someone’s got their back to catch every blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment. No stiff posing, no forced smiles, no awkward direction. Just honest, energetic storytelling with loads of heart.
Whether you’re planning a glitter-soaked party, an intimate ceremony, or something wildly untraditional, I’m in. All love is welcome here.
International award winning and currently ranked 5th in the world for flash wedding photography, I bring serious technical skill wrapped up in a whole lot of fun. If you want a photographer who feels more like a mate than a supplier, someone who blends in with your people and gets the moments that actually matter, let’s talk.

Excellent Wedding Photographer!

From the moment I had first contact with Emma via her user friendly portal and website she was excellent.
Emma really listened to what we wanted and tailored the photos to our needs, she came up with some excellent ideas which turned out amazing.
Emma was punctual on the day and was amazing with our guests and navigated around without disruption. she worked so well with the venues and other vendors and really put our mind at ease.
I HIGHLY recommend Emma and would definitely use her again if I had another event I wanted to capture.
