Lovely to meet you! I’m Emma, a Christchurch based full-time photographer.
I feel lucky to have a really happy life. Things that bring me joy are my husband and tiny daughter, improv comedy (come see me at Scared Scriptless!), art, languages, singalongs to old show tunes and really good tailoring.
I photograph a mix of weddings, engagements and portraits, with the odd studio shoot thrown in. My philosophy is that working with me should feel fun and easy – and always end with you taking home stunning photos.
“Not only does Emma take incredible, romantic and stunning photos, she is so SO much fun to be with. She has an innate ability to make people relax and laugh. We cannot recommend her highly enough.” – Jess + Sam
When it comes to weddings, I love working with people who care about the real stuff. If you want beautiful photos without abandoning your guests for hours, or if you feel awkward in front of the camera but still want photos that feel natural and unposed, then I’m your girl. I also feel it’s important that I do the little things for you. Things like knowing your parents’ names, learning your story, and listening to what you want… not just what will look good in my portfolio.
Please feel free to get in touch, even if you’re not totally sure about your plans yet. I’d love to catch up over a coffee, learn more about you, and answer any questions (even super obvious ones!).
Testimonials
Kate and Mark
Thank you so much for being the most nimble, invisible, lightning-fast, ninja photographer who also happens to be talented, creative and ingenious! We absolutely LOVE our photos – you totally captured the day, the essence of our relationship and the vibe of the beautiful places we visited that day. Thank you also for making us laugh and making us comfortable in all your little ways. You have collected a living, breathing archive of a day filled with love and all our favourite friends and family – and that includes you!
Jo and David
Choosing Emma to be our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made, her bubbly personality made the whole process so much fun. Having an engagement shoot was a great way to get to know each other and for us to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Our guests commented on how Emma was able to capture all the emotion of the day in an unobtrusive manner which we really appreciated. Our photos are a wonderful record of our wedding for us to treasure.
Scott and Ivonne
We recommend Emma highly to other couples. Her friendly and fun approach to photography helped us and the guests to relax on the day and ensured that the photos were very natural. We received the photos soon after the wedding and we were absolutely thrilled with what we saw. Our wedding had many wonderful moments and Emma captured them all perfectly. She is creative, makes great use of different natural and artificial lighting and has the rare ability to take great photographs while remaining in the background for most of the day. Thank you Emma for your amazing contribution to our special day.
Rebecca and Ghazi
Thank you for the amazing job you did on our wedding day. We are absolutely thrilled with the photos and have lots of special memories captured. I asked you to produce “one good photo of us”… as it turns out, you somehow achieved countless brilliant pics. Our eternal gratitude to you and the hard work you put in on the night – massively appreciated.
