THE BIG MOMENTS WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED. I'M HERE FOR THE ONES YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU'D MISS.

STORYTELLING
Your wedding day with me starts with getting to know each other, long before I ever pick up my camera.I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, which probably explains why I notice the little things. The glance across the room that says everything without a word. The squeeze of a hand before you walk down the aisle. Your grandparents reminiscing about their own wedding day. The happy tears, the deep breaths, the moments that only last a second but somehow become the ones you treasure forever.
By the time your wedding day arrives, I'll already know the little things that matter most to you. The people you can't wait to see. The moments you're most excited for. The memories you hope you'll still be talking about decades from now. When the day finally comes, my role isn't to turn it into a photoshoot. It's to let you live it.
Every gallery I create is shaped by a series of quiet decisions; when to step back, when to lean in, and what to notice before you even realise it's happening. I'll never ask you to perform for the camera or spend hours away from the people you love. Instead, I'll quietly move through your day, documenting it as honestly as it unfolds, so nothing real gets missed. At the heart of how I work is a simple belief: the most meaningful photographs come from presence, not perfection.
I pair genuine love and care with a documentary approach, taking the time to get to know you long before your wedding day so that when the time comes, you can simply be yourselves. I'll be there to capture the nervous excitement, the joyful chaos, the quieter moments and everything that makes your day uniquely yours. Because long after the flowers have wilted and the music has stopped, it won't be the perfectly posed moments that transport you back. It'll be the way your day felt. And that's the story I want to tell.
why weddingsI didn't fall in love with photography. I fell in love with the moments no one else was watching for, and photography just happened to be how I kept them.

I'M EMILIA, A HAMPSHIRE-BASED, INTERNATIONALLY PUBLISHED DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER.
I've always thought the word documentary doesn't quite capture what I actually do. What I really do is pay attention. To the proud smile on your mum's face while you're busy laughing with your best friends. To your grandparents quietly holding hands during the ceremony. To the happy tears, the deep breaths, the hugs that last a little longer than expected, and all the little moments that pass by in the blink of an eye.Those are the moments that make a wedding feel like your wedding. I'm a hopeless romantic through and through, so it's no surprise that I fell in love with documenting people in the most meaningful seasons of their lives. I don't believe your wedding day needs directing or perfecting.
It already has everything it needs. My job is simply to notice it, preserve it, and give it back to you in a way that lets you feel it all over again. I'll step in when you need a little guidance, disappear into the background when you don't, and create space for you to spend your day exactly where you should be—with each other and the people you love most. Home is Hampshire, but I'll happily travel wherever your story takes you. Whether you're planning an intimate countryside celebration, a city wedding, or an adventure halfway across the world, I'll be there, camera in hand, quietly telling the story as it unfolds.
little things you should know about me
She made me feel so at ease especially since I am a shy person and not very good at posing...

Even though Emilia's photography is the main attraction I would also like to point out again just how lovely and kind Emilia is as a person, she went above and beyond in so many ways when she didn't need to... I would highly recommend Emilia to anybody!

I couldn't be happier with my experience. The photos are absolutely beautiful and capture the moments so naturally and authentically.
I felt completely at ease throughout, which really shows in the final images. The attention to detail, patience, and genuine care made the whole process special. Thank you for capturing memories I'll treasure forever.
