I’m Emily (Emmy), the one with the camera, based in Bournemouth, Dorset, & photographing across the UK. I could give you all the clichés — “I’ve loved photography my whole life” — but instead I want to give you something real. I’m loud. I’m a geek. I’m a beach bum. I listen to everything from heavy metal to musicals. I’m the first on the dancefloor. And, yep, I'm a photographer.

A Passionate Professional

Emily is everything you would want in a photographer. She's kind, excellent at capturing both candid moments and naturally posed photos, and seamlessly managed to blend into our wedding as if she were another guest. She put everyone at ease. I have a husband who much prefers taking photos to being in them and was extremely worried about looking awkward, but Emily had ways of capturing us at our best. If you want dynamic, natural and memorable wedding photos I couldn't recommend Emily more. If her photos are how we'll remember our day, we'll always remember how much joy and excitement was in every moment.

Do happy we chose Emily as our wedding photographer

Emily was honestly amazing! From the moment we got in touch, we really could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. She came prepared with multiple umbrellas for our wedding in thunderstorm and was a calming voice of reason the morning of the wedding. Emily made the effort to talk to everyone on the day and made them feel at ease and all the guests were full of complements for her. We got sneak peaks within a few days and the photos withing a month and they're better than we could have every imagined. Thanks so so much for everything Emily ❤️

Emily is highly professional, highly talented and a genius at making any shoot fun, easy and a memorable experience. We love our engagement and wedding pictures she took for us, the memories she captured brings us a lot of joy. Industry wise, every project we've been on together has been brilliant! I would recommend her for any shoot, her relaxed perfectionism is what brings the results and she's also one of the nicest people I know.

Lotus did our engagement and wedding photography last year and she was absolutely fantastic. Not only are the photos beautiful, but she was able to capture the personality of everyone there on the day. Lotus is great at getting to know the people that she’s photographing, making them feel at ease and ensuring that every shoot has a unique style. As someone who feels awkward in front of a camera, it’s an absolute pleasure having photos taken by Lotus.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Where Are You Based?

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. 

Is Photography Your Full-Time Job?

Yes — photography is my full-time job.

Although I would love to convince you I’m Batman.

We’re Nervous In Front Of The Camera — help?

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.

Do You Offer Custom Wedding Packages?

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.

How Do Payments Work?

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.

Can We Meet Up For A Chat Before We Book?

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.

Do You Really Drink That Much Coffee?

I wish I could say I didn’t, but I do. I love the stuff!
