Doodah Photography Full Description
It’s my job and my passion to capture genuine moments exactly as you remember them, so you have a complete record of all the special, funny, emotional and crazy moments that made up your wedding day.
It’s important to me that the photographs I take are honest, so you won’t find my work to be over-stylised. I want your images to last a lifetime and not become dated and I believe this is done by producing beautifully lit, and sympathetically edited images.
Lots of photographers advertise themselves as being discreet, I prefer appropriate. During your ceremony I will definitely be as unobtrusive as possible but when the party starts you’ll find me in the middle of the dance floor grabbing those action shots. You’ve got to be in it to win it!
Above all, I promise to listen to you and do things your way. I’m not big on drama, I like things to be relaxed and fun. The best way to achieve this is to do everything I can to make sure that your big day is running exactly the way you want it to. I want every smile, in every photo, to come from the heart.
"Emma exceeded all our expectations - she knew exactly what we were aiming for instinctively, and got it just right. I had total confidence in her from the word go, and would not hesitate in recommending her. I was thrilled with how she executed our vision. Talented and professional."
So if you're looking for a photographer who gets you and will adapt to your requirements, look no further.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
What is your most memorable wedding?
I love small, intimate weddings where people just do things their way. A couple of garden ceremonies stick out as fantastic, but my favourite has to be an elopement where it was just the couple, the celebrant and me.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Personal, relaxed, intuative, flexible, diverse
What about your business are you most proud of?
I'm proud of the relationships I build with my clients and the trust they put in me to deliver.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Use small businesses where you know you'll always be dealing with the same person. If you build a relationship with your supplier they will go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect for you.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
The couple asked all their friends to bring them flowers as gifts so their reception was full of colour without a big expense to anyone. They also handmade miles and miles of rainbow bunting. It looked fantastic.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I like to work with couples to make sure that my level of involvement as a photographer on their big day is pitched according to their expectations. Some people want to make a big deal out of the photography and get lots of arranged shots. Some people just want me to stay in the background and shoot more candid images. I try to be flexible as everyone's different. If I spot great opportunities for photos, I'll always point them out then it's up to the couple if they want to pursue them.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
It's got to be the confetti shot, or sparklers, they're both very similar. It's a great way to involve all your guests in a fun moment, and the smiles and laughs are always genuine. You don't realise how wonderful it is to be showered with tiny bits of paper until you've done it.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I got the chance to photograph a couple at a windmill which was someone's private home. The guy who owned the place asked me if I wanted him to get the car out as it looked a bit 'wedding-y'. I'm not that into cars but I'm glad I said yes. It turned out to be a vintage 1930s Lagonda, like something straight out of a Lord Peter Whimsey novel. And then there was a sunset. My camera was very happy that day.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
There's always a way around the rain. An overcast sky can make for some really dramatic shots and it rarely rains all day long. I recommend getting out there, you'll only do it once! But if you'd rather stay in the dry, remember it's the people that make the memories, not the surroundings. Clever lighting can still make for some great images.
Describe how you got into photography.
Photography was a module of my fine art degree. I learnt to take pictures on film and develop them in the dark room at my college. I loved the process of making photos but mostly I loved being able to capture a moment in time and fleeting expressions on peoples faces which caught them at their best.
