Real Weddings, Real Moments

Here’s where the magic happens — no posing, no faking, just real people living the best day of their lives. I’m Emma, a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Hampshire, capturing candid, joyful, wildly creative wedding stories across the South of England.

Whether it’s golden hour giggles, a confetti storm, or that blink-and-you-miss-it emotional glance during the vows, I’m there for it all — with colour, energy, and a whole lot of heart.

Take a scroll through some of my favourite wedding days below. Each image is filled with laughter, movement, and unfiltered love.
