Lotus Photography

I specialise in wedding photography — and I do it with a healthy dose of mischief, coffee and wholehearted enthusiasm. Based in Bournemouth, Lotus Photography (Emily/Emmy) focuses on candid, documentary-style wedding photography that puts your story and personality at the heart of every image. If you’re planning a festival wedding, a barefoot beach ceremony, a cosy elopement or a destination celebration, I’m the photographer who’ll capture the laughs, the tears and the tiny details that make your day unmistakably yours. Why choose me? I’m not about stiff poses or fake smiles. My whole ethos is #ShowYourUniqueStyle — I want your wedding photos to feel like you: honest, joyful and a little bit chaotic in the best possible way. I blend into the action, look for genuine moments and know how to coax natural reactions even from the most camera-shy guests. Think of me as your hype person, chaos coordinator and storytelling ninja rolled into one — I move fast, I read the room, and I love a good dancefloor moment. How I work: we start with a proper chat. Whether that’s a coffee, a Zoom or a quick wander on the beach, I want to understand your priorities, your vibe and the weird little things that make you smile. On the day I focus on unobtrusive coverage — catching those spontaneous interactions and preserving the atmosphere of your celebration — while also carving out short, lively moments for portraits that still feel like part of the party. I travel across the UK and beyond for weddings, and I’m happy to create bespoke coverage for destination celebrations. Engagement photography is available if you want a relaxed shoot before the wedding — it’s a great way to get used to the camera and to build our rapport. Accessibility, body positivity and inclusivity are important to me. I champion sessions that make people feel seen and celebrated, and I’m always happy to adapt to make your day as comfortable and joyful as possible. My approach is honest, fun and rooted in storytelling — I capture the emotions and energy of your wedding so you can relive it again and again. If you want professional wedding photos that actually reflect who you are, let’s chat and start planning how to show your unique style.
