Emma Lowe Photography
About Me
Hi, I’m Emma, a full-time Professional Wedding Photographer based in Rugby, Warwickshire, specialising in Wedding Photography and Newborn Photoshoots. Over the years and have built up a reputation for high quality natural and elegant photography to which I’m incredibly proud. I’m also very fortunate to be a recommended photography at many of the Warwickshire Wedding venues.
What Am I Like?
I’m nice and super friendly …. this may seem strange to state as a differential to other photographers (I’m sure they are lovely) but my couples often comment that they selected me because they feel so relaxed talking and working with me. I have a very relaxed approach to bouncing your ideas around, planning your day, chatting openly. This is very important on the day, as my couples know they can just talk with me about anything, ask for my help or advice, or just knowing with total confidence I have it all in hand for them. Also my nice and super friendly character is evident on the day, as I chat away with your family and guests, blending in seamlessly as part of your wedding party and day.
Interestingly, I’ve also become highly skilled in ‘wedding day support’, even though I’m their as your photographer I have been known to burst into action to steam dresses, find missing family members, fix and place veils, fix button holes for the groomsmen, you name it. I will help with anything if I can to make you relaxed and have the best day.
The Quality Of My Photography?
Obviously, the first thing that differentiates photographers is the quality and style of their wedding photography. My style is based on natural imagery, not over editing or applying darkening filters or colour filters, the imagery is exactly as you remember your day, ‘a true moment in time’. I don’t like to apply these filters and editing techniques as I find these do not age well and trends change quickly with imagery quickly becoming undesirable. Natural and elegant photographs never goes out of fashion and always win out!
The quality of my imagery is hopefully evident from the various photographs across my website, just remember website images are always grainy due to having to compress everything to keep Google happy (a technical requirement of websites). So, if you want to see the real full resolution images I’ve taken, I’m happy to showcase these on a 1-1 consultation for you, they are amazing in full resolution.
My Photography Style?
You’ll hear terms like contemporary, storytelling, documentary, candid. formal, traditional, posed, creative, fine art, portraiture, the list is long. The truth be told, I pick and choose depending on what you require for your day, tailoring your photography using my experience. It’s what you want ! So should you wish to capture your day as a story, that’s fine, it you want very specific photographs that’s absolutely fine. If you want to me use my judgement to enjoy the day letting me sort it, that also totally fine.
- Some of my couples like to capture the entire day from start to finish in a relaxed natural, unposed way, wanting the focus to be on authentic expressions and interactions rather than staged poses, really discreet and largely unnoticed.
- Other couples, have a specific list of photographs, all meticulously detailed and scheduled, with specific locations around the venue.
- It really does vary, some couples prefer to utilise my use my experience and judgement and my knowledge of the venues. (note: for venues I haven’t worked at, do not worry, this is my job to find out all the best photos, I do a lot of homework and work closely with the venue team).
On balance, the majority of my wedding photography is storytelling (candid, with a few well timed cues), but with some degree of pre-planned formal photography, getting the best of both worlds. That said, I’m happy to provide the style you prefer, I’m very relaxed.
Rapport & Trust
An important consideration is trust; hopefully you’ll see the level of trust my couples project in their incredible images across this website and their kind words. AND……. remember I’m really friendly and approachable, so don’t hesitate to just call me for a chat.
I am here for you, it's your day, it's all about you and it's what you want, and I will deliver it!
What Else About Me?
I grew up and spent my early adult years living in Loughborough (Leicestershire), where I met my lovely partner Richard. He’s a workaholic and is typically off doing whatever Commercial Directors do, which gives me plenty of time to focus on my photography. We moved to Rugby (Warwickshire) about 12 years ago and its been home ever since.
We’re very fortunate to have 3 incredible children together, so don’t worry about any little ones who are crying or frowning at me, I’m a mum myself and will involve them getting that smile in the end!
My other passion in life are my horses, so I’m often with my 2 daughters mucking out or off riding somewhere. I also love dogs, so if you have your fur baby coming to the wedding do let me know.
I know that’s a short and sweet ‘more about me’, but it’s the important parts of my life in a nutshell.
Such Lovely Comments
My Commercial Photography
