Emma Marie Photography

I’m Emma — a Guisborough-based wedding and portrait photographer with over 14 years’ experience capturing real moments across North Yorkshire and Teesside. I specialise in wedding photography, creating natural, timeless images that feel as true to the day as the memories you’ll keep. Why choose me? My approach is rooted in storytelling and colour-perfect editing. I’ve watched wedding trends come and go and settled on a style that prioritises authentic emotion and elegant simplicity. That means candid, unscripted moments alongside carefully guided portraits and family shots — all finished with consistent, flattering colour work so your images stand the test of time. What makes my work special is the balance I bring: I blend into the day so guests forget I’m there, which helps me capture those in-between smiles and fleeting reactions, yet I also lead the important moments with calm efficiency. Whether we’re stepping outside a country house in the golden hour or finding a quiet corner inside a chapel, I aim to make portrait time relaxed, quick and enjoyable — never staged or stressful. How I work with clients: it starts with a friendly conversation about your plans and priorities. I’ll listen to what matters most to you and offer practical suggestions based on experience at local venues. On the wedding day I’m discreet, organised and warm — a familiar presence who gets things done without being intrusive. My eldest daughter has been assisting and second-shooting with me since 2022, which often gives added coverage and extra candid moments. My story and passion: photography began for me as a way to hold on to family moments — capturing my own children as they grew. That love for preserving memory fuels everything I do. I feel privileged to photograph weddings and portraits, make connections with couples and families, and deliver images they’ll treasure. Based in Guisborough, I’m recommended at many North Yorkshire venues and happy to travel across the region.
