For Couples Who Want A Celebration, NOT A Performance!
Lotus Photography UK is an award-winning wedding photographer studio based in Bournemouth, Dorset, specialising in luxury festival-style and alternative wedding celebrations across the South West and UK.
Authentic, candid, inclusive wedding photography that focuses on celebrating the couple rather than sticking to tradition.
Full-day wedding coverage, intimate weddings, engagement sessions and bespoke album design are all available, with each couple receiving a fully edited online gallery with unlimited downloads and print options.
Emily is an advocate for LGBTQIA+ and Body posivity and inclusivity, and has spoken at wedding photographer conferences on the subject.
I live in Bournemouth, Dorset.
However, give me a travel cup of coffee and a good playlist, I happily travel the whole of Dorset, Hampshire, Devon, Cornal, Sussex, and the rest of the UK, capturing festival weddings.
Yes — photography is my full-time job.
Although I would love to convince you I’m Batman.
You’re not alone. Most people feel awkward at first.
I don’t expect you to know how to pose. I use prompts, movement and gentle direction to help you relax, laugh and forget about the camera — that’s when the good stuff happens.
Yes. While I offer structured packages, everything is built around the natural flow of your day. Micro weddings, intimate celebrations and full-scale parties are all welcome — we’ll shape coverage around what actually matters to you.
To secure your date, I ask for a 25% non-refundable retainer at the time of booking.
The remaining balance is split to make things easier:
25% due six months before your wedding
50% due one month before the big day
There are no hidden fees or interest — just a clear, simple payment plan that helps spread the cost.
Absolutely. I love chatting things through — whether that’s in person (if we’re nearby) or via video call. It’s a great way to make sure we’re the right fit and to answer any questions properly.
I wish I could say I didn’t, but I do. I love the stuff!
