Return to Homepage : Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m Emma, a Warwickshire photographer based in Rugby, providing wedding, newborn, event and commercial photography across Warwickshire and the Midlands.
Weddings make up the largest part of my photography work, and over the years, I’ve built a strong reputation for high-quality, natural and elegant imagery, something I’m incredibly proud of. I’m also very fortunate to be a recommended photographer at a number of beautiful wedding venues, which is always a real honour.
But I also love the variety that comes with being a professional photographer. My commercial photography has allowed me to build some fantastic, long-standing relationships with well-known local businesses and national brands across the region. And of course I cannot forget my newborn photography, which is a particular favourite of mine. There’s something incredibly special about capturing those precious early moments with new parents and their little ones.
I grew up and spent my early adult years living in a small village near Loughborough, where I met my partner Richard. He’s a workaholic, which gives me plenty of time to focus on my photography. We moved to Warwickshire (Rugby) 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.
I’m nice and super friendly… This might seem a strange thing to highlight about myself (I’m sure other photographers are lovely too!), but it’s something my clients regularly comment on. I like people to feel completely comfortable around me, whether we’re chatting through ideas, planning a photoshoot or simply getting to know each other.
It’s particularly important with weddings, where I spend so much time with my couples before and during their big day. I have a very relaxed approach to chatting through ideas, planning the day and talking openly about what you’d like. My couples know they can ask me anything, turn to me for help or advice, or simply relax knowing I’ve got everything in hand. On the day itself, I chat away with family and guests, blending in naturally as part of the wedding celebrations.
Interestingly, I’ve also become rather skilled in ‘wedding day support’. Although I’m there as your photographer, I’ve been known to spring into action to steam dresses, find missing family members, fix and position veils, sort out buttonholes for the groomsmen… you name it! If I can help, I will. It’s all part of making sure you feel relaxed, looked after and able to enjoy every moment of your special day.
The quality of my photography is hopefully evident from the images throughout my website. What you see online is only a compressed version of the original photographs, so if you’d like to see the full-resolution images and appreciate all the finer details, I’m always happy to show you during a one-to-one consultation. They really do look beautiful in their original quality.
My photography is all about natural, elegant and timeless imagery, whether I’m capturing a wedding, a newborn baby or a special event. I prefer not to over-edit my photographs or apply heavy, dark or fashionable colour filters. Trends come and go, and I believe beautiful, natural photography will always stand the test of time.
This is especially important with weddings. I want my couples to look back at their photographs in 10, 20 or even 30 years and remember their day exactly as it was, with beautiful, authentic colours and moments that feel just as special as they did at the time. For me, that’s what photography is really about — capturing a true moment in time.
My photography style is all about creating beautiful, natural and timeless photographs. And what do I mean by that? I believe the best photographs should look just as beautiful in twenty years as they do today.
Photography, like fashion, has its trends. Heavy editing, dramatic lighting, unusual colour tones and fashionable filters can look wonderful today but quickly become dated. I prefer natural colours, beautiful lighting and authentic moments, creating photographs that stand the test of time rather than following trends.
When it comes to weddings, you’ll hear terms such as contemporary, storytelling, documentary, candid, formal, traditional, posed and fine art photography. The list is endless! I don’t restrict myself to one approach, instead adapting my photography to what you want from your day.
Some couples prefer their wedding captured naturally, with candid moments and very little posing. Others have carefully planned photographs, including family groups, locations and special moments. I’m equally comfortable with both and always happy to offer guidance.
I encourage couples to make use of my experience and knowledge of wedding venues. Even if I haven’t photographed at your venue before, I’ll do my homework, find the best photographic locations and work closely with the venue team.
Most of my wedding photography is natural storytelling, with a few well-timed cues and carefully planned formal photographs. It’s the best of both worlds, but ultimately it’s your day, your photographs and your choice. I’m always happy to adapt to what works best for you.
I’d love to hear from you, whether you’re planning your wedding, looking to arrange a newborn photoshoot or have a commercial or event photography enquiry. I’m always happy to have a friendly chat, explore your ideas and see how I can help.
For weddings, I limit the number of bookings I take each year so that every couple receives my full attention and dedicated support. The best next step is to check availability for your date and arrange a relaxed one-to-one consultation.
I’m very easy to talk to, so whether you’d like to discuss photography styles, explore packages or simply chat through your ideas and budget, please get in touch. I’d love to hear more about what you have planned.
For newborn, event or commercial photography enquiries, you’re very welcome to contact me directly by WhatsApp, telephone or email.

Beyond the joy and fun of Midlands wedding photography, my other passion is capturing the quiet, fleeting beauty of new life with my Newborn Photoshoots.
I know how overwhelming those first few weeks are, which is why I’ve created a totally relaxed, stress-free experience focused entirely on safety and comfort. My super-friendly approach means you’ll feel completely at ease throughout the shoot, there’s no pressure to hurry; we work precisely at your baby’s pace with plenty of time for cuddles and feeds.
I have an amazing custom home studio in Rugby, Warwickshire which is carefully designed to be warm, quiet, and fully equipped with everything needed for your newborn’s safety and comfort. Many parents travel to me from all across the Midlands (including Solihull, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire) to have me capture these beautiful, timeless memories.
