Emma McNair Photography

Emma McNair Photography is a Long Eaton-based wedding specialist who photographs days as they unfold — relaxed, honest and full of feeling. Emma’s approach is documentary-led: she spends the day seeking out the little, unplanned moments that make a wedding uniquely yours — the belly laughs, the quiet embraces, the unexpected mess-ups that become the best stories. If you want a photographer who blends in, puts you at ease and captures real emotion rather than staged poses, Emma is the one to trust. Why choose Emma? A photography graduate with years of experience building her business, Emma understands wedding days from every angle. She’s warm, approachable and quietly present; many couples comment that they barely noticed she was there as she collected the story of their day. Her relaxed style means she offers a short, gentle couples session (around 10–15 minutes) to get a handful of beautiful portraits without taking you away from your guests. Group photos are kept swift and light so you can get back to celebrating. How she works: Emma likes to start with a friendly video or phone call so she can learn about your plans and answer any questions. Closer to the day you’ll complete a short questionnaire and have a final check-in so she knows the small details that matter to you. On the wedding day Emma moves quietly through the day, offering gentle prompts when needed but prioritising natural interaction and atmosphere. After the wedding you’ll receive a password-protected online gallery of your edited images, easy to share with family and order prints from her recommended supplier. Emma’s story and values: She fell in love with photography as a teenager, studied for a BA in Photography and has spent years photographing weddings across the UK. She’s happiest outdoors — often inspired by sea and trees — and brings that love of natural light and candid moments into her work. Emma treasures weddings that push or bend tradition and loves documenting celebrations that feel personal and real. If you’d like an optional short highlight reel of the day, Emma also offers McNair Moments — a simple, natural 2–3 minute edit made from clips captured on the day. But at the heart of her offering remains wedding photography: professional, unfussy and devoted to capturing the realness of your wedding day in and around Long Eaton and beyond.
