Hi, I’m Emma Lowe, an experienced Stratford Wedding Photographer based in Rugby, occasionally traveling across the UK to capture couples’ special days.
I specialise in capturing your big day with natural and elegant photography—never overly staged or heavily edited—offering timeless, high-quality images that reflect your real memories as if time stood still.
I also value the importance of formal or semi-posed couple and family/group photographs, ensuring you have beautiful keepsakes for your wedding album or that special spot on your mantelpiece.
My photography style is best described as natural, elegant, adaptable, and dynamic. I tailor my approach to suit your needs—whether that means moving discreetly to capture candid moments or stepping in to guide and organise lively groups with ease.

Book & Secure Your Date
Get Booked in for your big day...
I shoot multiple weddings in Stratford every month, sometimes in the same week or weekend. To make sure I’m available for your big day, you need to book me early. You can do this by choosing your package and paying a 25% non-refundable deposit.
Most couples book me 6-18 months in advance during the early stages of their wedding planning. But I’ve also had last minute bookings and even 2 years in advance from couples who wanted to book me for their date.
Consultation SESSION
Let's discuss your vision...
You’re at such an exciting time with your partner and so many plans to make!
Join me for a relaxed consultation to chat all about your wedding photography and your big day. We can meet at my home studio or connect via video call – whichever you prefer.
These sessions are a great opportunity for us to get to know each other and chat about what you want from your wedding photography and any extras. Of course I’ll also want to hear all about how your love story began!
We’ll go over your budget, guest numbers, venue (if chosen), photography style, timeline for the day, do you have a coordinator or planner? We’ll also go over the contract and all the other details so everything is covered.
I promise it will be a lovely chat!

My 2025 Pricing...
I try to keep my Wedding Photographer pricing simple, with 5 main packages designed to cater for varying requirements. They are predominantly based on my time, and you can view my pricing here.
If you have something particular in mind please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss your requirements as my Wedding photography packages can be amended to provide a bespoke package just for you as everybody is so different. This includes adding extra time or venues.
On the day, it is not uncommon to be requested to stay on for additional time on my hourly rate, which I will always try to accommodate as best as I can.
I understand that weddings can be (are) expensive, so I do try to keep my costs and product costs competitive whilst maintaining high-end products, even with a popularity and my slots often fully booked.
Please do talk to me if you require a bespoke package, additional services or simply need to find some savings and need some advice.
Multiple Stratford venues?
from GETTING READY TO THE EVENING EVENT...
My wedding packages are designed with flexibility in mind, focusing on the time you need me to be there. Whether you’d like me to capture everything—from the morning preparations, guests arriving, the ceremony, and formal photographs, all the way through to the meal, cake cutting, and evening celebrations—or if you just want coverage for specific parts of your day, I’ve got you covered.
If your Big Day involves multiple venues, please keep in mind that things like traffic or unexpected delays can happen. Together, we’ll plan the timing to allow for smooth transitions, and small things like reserved parking or a quick lift can make all the difference. Communication is key, and I’m here to help ensure everything goes as seamlessly as possible!

Your Booking Is Secured...
One challenge couples sometimes face is being “bumped” by photographers who prioritise higher-paying bookings on the same date.
Rest assured, this is not something I practice. Once your booking is confirmed, your date is fully secured, and unless there’s a serious illness or emergency, I will personally be there to capture your special day.
Having stepped in last minute to help couples who lost their photographers, this is an issue I feel strongly about, and I take great pride in honouring every commitment I make.
Managing Your Photography on the Big Day
Discreetly Unseen or Taking Charge...
Every couple is unique, and I adapt to suit your preferences. Some prefer to give me full creative freedom to plan the photography style, trusting me to manage the shots on the day and handle the editing process without much input. Others have a clear vision, with specific styles, scenes, and moments they want captured. I’m happy to work in either approach—or find a balance somewhere in between.
On your wedding day, most couples appreciate a mix of styles. I can work discreetly, blending into the background to capture candid moments, while providing light guidance for key group or family photos. If needed, I can step into ‘crowd management’ mode to keep things running smoothly, ensuring no one feels rushed or overwhelmed. My goal is to ensure you get the images you want while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable.
Full USB, Albums & Printing
Showcasing your Stunning Images ....
If you later decide that you’ll like all your images on a USB, the standard charge is £400. These images will only have light touching and cropping applied.
If you’d like albums, frames and prints adding to your package or after your Wedding Day, this can be arranged.
It is not uncommon for Couples to view their photographs and wish to amend there options for albums and printing with extras.
