As a dedicated wedding photographer, she focuses on capturing the small, unscripted moments that become the memories you return to for years to come.

The result is a collection of professional wedding photos that feel intimate, authentic and timeless — a visual narrative that reflects your personality and the atmosphere of the day. Working with Emma is a collaborative, low-stress experience. From the initial conversation through to delivery, she listens to what matters most to you — whether that’s family group shots, a few quiet couple portraits, or capturing the lively details of your reception. Emma builds a clear timeline and offers practical, reassuring guidance on the wedding day so you can enjoy the moment while she captures it. Engagement photography is also available to help couples relax in front of the camera and create images that complement the wedding collection. Emma photographs a wide range of wedding venues around Irlam and Greater Manchester, bringing an experienced eye for light, composition and candid storytelling. Her aim is to create images that look and feel natural while still delivering the professional finish you expect from an experienced wedding day photographer.
