We booked Emma to be our wedding photographer on 26/10/2024 at Bourton Hall. We chose her because the photography on her website was utterly beautiful. From the outset, Emma has maintained good communications with us, and on our big day she was there from midday until well into the evening, taking both formal portraits of us as well as more candid photos of both us as well as our guests. Emma was always discrete, never pushy, and was led by our thoughts and our wants. My bride was very nervous before coming downstairs for the ceremony. Emma put her immediately at ease, even helped her into her wedding dress!! After the ceremony, we had the formal family and friend photos, and Emma again was utterly professional, directing people quickly into position, taking her photos and moving on. As the day went on, she came to us and suggested photos either outside or somewhere within Bourton Hall, using her experience and knowledge to great effect. At no time, did we feel rushed, or pressurised to get that perfect photo. All in all, we were very impressed with Emma on the day, We cant recommend her highly enough.
