Emma-Jane Photography offers a considered approach to wedding photography, bringing together the sophistication of editorial imagery and the natural intimacy of documentary storytelling. As an internationally award-winning destination photographer, recognised by ELLE within its Top 12 UK Wedding Photographers, I create photographs that celebrate both visual elegance and real human connection. Each wedding receives an individual creative approach, with magazine-inspired, fashion-led portraits complemented by discreetly captured moments that reveal the genuine emotions and unscripted experiences of the day. My intention is to produce a cohesive gallery that feels elegant, personal and enduring.
Couples may also choose 35mm film alongside digital photography, adding organic grain and a timeless, nostalgic quality to their images. I photograph weddings in Oxfordshire, capturing the historic appeal of its countryside settings, and work internationally on destination celebrations lasting several days across Europe, Africa and the US. My specialist Lake Como wedding photography is designed for couples wishing to preserve the romance of the Italian lakes through thoughtful, artistic imagery. Wherever I am commissioned, I bring an informed appreciation of light, a calm and reassuring manner, and a consistent focus on timeless artistry, ensuring that every celebration is approached with care and creative attention.

Creating stylish wedding photographs with lasting appeal is central to my work. I combine artistic creativity and fashion-inspired imagery with an unobtrusive approach, ensuring my photography remains focused on timeless results. The Cotswolds holds a special place in my work because of its outstanding beauty and popularity among my couples. From rolling hills to flourishing gardens, warm cream stone and beautiful architecture, the area offers an exceptional variety of backdrops. Since our very first call, it was very clear Emma is a true professional. She took on board our brief for the wedding photos, but was also able to steer us, asking all the right questions. There are so many details we hadnt thought about and her guidance helped us arrive to the big day prepared, and enjoy it to the fullest, without any last minute panic.
Emma has a real eye for composition, and she took candid photos that really captured the vibe of the day, which was the most important thing to us as a couple. The shots are incredible under every point of view: framing, lighting and mostly emotions. She was working alone, and I didnt see her catch a breath for one moment: she captured every important moment, smile and tear, and also briefed the guests on some extremely fun food shots, which are some of our favourites from the day. She was also unobstrusive and professional, really moving in tune with the energy of the day. Both us and all our guests loved her! I cannot wait to collaborate with Emma again for our next important event.
If youre looking for a wedding photographer, dont sleep on it and book Emma immediately!
Our hopes were very high for the wedding day and the results absolutely blew our minds. Emma has an incredible eye for every type of shot, she knows how to play with the natural lighting and throughout the entire day was extremely friendly and helpful.
To this day, even our wedding guests, friends and family still talk about how incredible Emma was throughout the day and some have even reached out to book her for their own weddings!
On top of that, Emmas turn around for our wedding photos was so extremely quick too! We did not have to wait long to get all 1000+ photos back and seeing them really made my wife and I relive that special day over and over again. We can not recommend Emma (and her husband) enough!
Emma was an absolute dream to have with us on the day. She made everything feel so easy and natural, was so calm and lovely to be around, and captured the most beautiful moments without anything ever feeling staged or intrusive. She is soo talented, and were so grateful for the memories she has given us!
You captured our intimate day so beautifully and naturally, with such a relaxed style that felt effortless. Beyond your incredible talent, you made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Looking back through our gallery brings all the emotions of the day flooding back, and we know well treasure these memories forever. We honestly couldnt have asked for anyone better!
On the day she was incredibly helpful, helping to keep us to time and make sure we captured everything we had asked. She also really helped put us at ease, giving us great input and feedback into how to position ourselves.
We absolutely love the photos and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma-Jane to anyone.
We've had so many amazing comments about both the photos and how amazing Emma was herself as a person and we'll be forever grateful that we have the perfect memories captured thanks to her! If you're reading these to decide whether to contact her, there's no hesitation needed. It's the best decision you'll make for our big day. Thank you so so much Emma!
Emma really went above and beyond on the day - helping me with my train, helping us position ourselves properly, and also being a master at the bustle (which we could not seem to work!!). She was amazing at rounding people up for group shots, and also blended seamlessly throughout the day - during the ceremony, for instance, we didn't even know she was there! Emma was a pleasure to work with and managed to capture so many special moments.
The photos are absolutely beautiful and were completely what we wanted. Emma also made us both feel at ease throughout the day when we were both feeling very overwhelmed! We are so glad that we used Emma - we could not be happier that we did so. She was super responsive throughout the process and I would also recommend the pre-wedding shoot - it gave us the opportunity to get to know Emma better and to relax in readiness for the day! Thank you so much for everything, Emma!!
We would recommend Emma to every bride-to-be. We promise that you will not be disappointed.
In the run up and on the day, Emma was professional, helpful and increibly calm even when timings started to get a bit tight!
My partner was worried about feeling uncomfortable about having his photo taken, but Emma made us feel completely at ease and we had so much fun.
I would 100% recommend Emma to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who will make you feel and look great.
They're images that we'll treasure for ever.
I had some ideas about how I wanted our wedding photos to look, I told Emma to be as creative as she wanted. She took us into the river Thames for our engagement shoot and lay us in a poppy field on our wedding day. Everyone is obsessed with our photos and if you book her they will be obsessed with yours too.
Thank you Emma for everything, you made the planning process so easy and I will be forever grateful that you rearranged your schedule so you could fit us in when we had to postpone. You are the Queen of photography and I wish I could take you everywhere with me.
We got married in Croatia in July at a coastal venue with heaps of potential for stunning, unique photos. Emma arrived at the venue early to seek out the best spots and later in the day had us clambering over rocks and into wooded areas to capture truly breathtaking photographs.
Being a couple who like to travel and see the world we knew Emma would be able to capture a sense of wanderlust in our photographs. They have been beautifully edited, taking note of the 'golden hour', softer tones. Our wedding photographs are by far the best photos we have ever had taken as a couple. Our friends and family have commented that they look like something off a film set which makes us smile :-) All we need to do now is go through the tricky task of deciding which ones to get printed and framed for the house as they are all so lovely.
Aside from the photo's, Emma was also fantastic to work with on the day of our wedding. We didn't have any practise sessions some couples do, but we were put at ease and guided through each shot. She was calm, kind and so helpful, exactly what a bride and groom need on the day of their wedding.
We absolutely ADORE our wedding photographs and couldn't be happier. Thank you Emma :-) xxx
