Emily Horton Photography

I'm Emily Horton — a wedding photographer based in Dudley, proudly serving couples across the West Midlands and the UK. For more than a decade I've been photographing weddings, and having shot over 100 celebrations I've developed a calm, confident approach that helps couples relax and enjoy their day. I specialise in wedding photography with an emphasis on natural, unposed moments, capturing the emotions and tiny details that make each story unique. My style blends documentary storytelling with gentle direction when needed. I aim to be unobtrusive so I can catch candid smiles, stolen glances and spontaneous laughter, but I’ll step in with a little guidance to ensure the images are beautiful and timeless. That balance means couples get authentic photographs that also look composed and elegant — images they’ll be proud to share and display for years to come. Working with me is relaxed and personal. I like to get to know you before the wedding so I understand what matters most — whether that’s family dynamics, special traditions or simply capturing you as you are. I offer a friendly pre-wedding conversation (in person or via Zoom) to plan the flow of the day, suggest helpful locations for portraits and make sure the photography feels effortless on the big day. On the wedding morning I work quietly and confidently, allowing the day to unfold while staying alert for the moments that tell your story. While weddings are my core focus, I bring professional experience from working with well-known brands and events, which means you can trust in reliability, discretion and polished results. My photographs favour natural light, soft tones and authentic emotion — a style well-suited to couples who value honesty and warmth in their images. If you’re planning a wedding in Dudley, the West Midlands or beyond and you want a photographer who prioritises genuine moments and a relaxed experience, I’d love to hear about your plans. Let’s chat about how I can capture the real, joyful story of your day.
