Emma Stoszkowski Photography

Emma Stoszkowski Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Carlisle, Cumbria, dedicated to capturing the real, joyful moments that make your day uniquely yours. Emma’s approach is relaxed and unfussy — she blends gentle direction for portraits with unobtrusive documentary-style coverage to record the laughter, the quiet looks, and the small details that together tell the full story of your wedding. A local lass with a BA in Photography and more than a decade photographing weddings across the Lake District and beyond, Emma knows how to use natural light and the region’s dramatic landscapes to create imagery that feels timeless rather than trendy. Her emphasis on true-to-life colour and honest emotion means your photographs will transport you back to how you felt on the day, rain or shine. Working with Emma is like having a calm, friendly friend at your wedding who also happens to be a professional photographer. She spends time getting to know you before the big day — often over a cuppa — and offers optional pre-wedding (engagement) sessions so you can feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the day she balances being quietly observant with being happily instructive when you need a little guidance for portraits or group shots. Emma’s process is designed to reduce stress and maximise enjoyment: clear communication from booking through delivery, a warm, approachable manner at the venue, and a focus on capturing moments that will matter decades from now. She loves outdoor ceremonies and late-night party energy just as much as intimate, low-key celebrations, tailoring her presence to what feels natural for each couple. If you’re planning a Carlisle or Lake District wedding and want professional wedding photos that reflect real emotion and atmosphere, Emma offers a friendly, experienced service rooted in local knowledge and a passion for storytelling.
