eyup, I'm Emma!
I'm a UK based photographer based in beautiful Cornwall… I was raised in Yorkshire and my accent has stayed!
It's nice to meet you.
I love pizza, a pint and my mum calls me a ‘fresh air freak’ as I just love being outside!
I really love to capture the real moments of a wedding day, I get a fuzzy feeling when I've caught a split moment that I know will mean so much. Those big belly laughs, those cuddles with family members and those quiet moments and little looks together too.
I love the real side of weddings.
My approacH
I spend your wedding day searching for the real moments that happen, those tears of laughter, the sighs of relief, hugs from friends, even the spilt red wine down your wedding dress, the moments that make life what it is.
The day fly's by so quickly that I do suggest sneaking off for 10-15 minutes for you to have some time together and for us to get some couple photographs. At this point i'll give you some tips, a bit of guidance, prompts to make it easier and we'll have a walk, you'll be talking, immersed in newly wed bliss, and i'll be capturing it. If there's a certain sun spot, or the background behind you makes it seem you have a tree coming out of your head, I will suggest moving, but there will be no 'look at the camera and smile' from me.
WHAT YOU WON’T GET FROM ME;
- Posed, stop the moment portraits of you individually whilst you’re getting ready - I keep it natural and candid, if you’d like these, please let me know.
- Stopping you every 2 minutes to move direction, be positioned or take you away from the moment you’re in.
- Group photos that take a long time, they’re kept short and sweet - a classic family shot ‘mantelpiece’ and a relaxed one, with room for any specifics you want but I won't be the driving force for anything like "pick them up" or "let's all sit and pose".
- As much as I am a chatterbox and will talk to anyone, I take a step back during moments you’re having with your loved ones, I’m an observer first and then a participant of your wedding day.
- Heavily directed couple photos, just some gentle guidance to help you feel at ease and look naturally brilliant

shall i bore you with How I BECAME A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER....?
No, that's fair enough... But here's a quick run down;
2005 - first camera - you probably know the one, old school probably 'vintage' now!
2006 - College, A-levels, photography was one of them (alongside Geography, English and Media!)
2008 - University to study Photography
2012 - Worked on board cruise ships as a photographer, documented my first wedding in 2013 and BAM! Hooked.
2017 - 5 years of a bit of an odd time but then decided to register as self employed and started the journey...
2027 - In March, 10 years since deciding to go for it and I am so excited to celebrate with a massive cake!
