Emma Chapman Photography

Emma Chapman is a specialist wedding photographer based in East Dereham, Norfolk, whose approach centres on real life and real emotions. With a background in editorial and interiors photography and a first-class honours degree in BA Photography from Norwich University of Arts, Emma combines an eye for composition with a gentle, unobtrusive presence on the wedding day. Her aim is simple: to create naturally lit, editorial-style wedding images that feel authentic and timeless. Emma’s style is relaxed and documentary-led. She prefers to let the day unfold, capturing the spontaneous moments — the quiet glances, the laughter, the speeches — while keeping formal group photos to a minimum so couples can enjoy their guests. Whether you want natural, candid coverage or a few more styled, lit portraits, Emma adapts to what you want and brings calm, friendly professionalism to every shoot. She thrives on the energy of a wedding day and takes pride in creating images that tell the story of the day from preparations through to the dancefloor. Working across Norfolk and beyond, Emma has photographed weddings at a wide range of venues and values collaboration with couples to understand what matters most to them. She also offers engagement and pre-wedding sessions for those who want to feel more relaxed in front of the camera ahead of the big day. Her editorial sensibility, honed through commercial projects in interiors and fashion, means she pays attention to light, texture and composition — all of which contribute to professional wedding photos that stand out. Beyond weddings, Emma’s experience in interiors and commercial photography informs her visual approach, but weddings remain her primary focus and passion. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who is warm, calm and dedicated to capturing authentic moments with an editorial touch, Emma Chapman offers a considered, personal service rooted in experience and a love of storytelling through imagery.
