Hey there, I'm Emma
Storyteller, creative, dreamer, coffee lover, mum to two delicious boys and a fur baby named luna.
I’m also a Wedding, Elopement and Portrait photographer who believes real, natural, genuine moments make the most beautiful photos.
Your wedding day goes by in a whirl, so it’s easy to miss the kids playing outside, your grandparents stealing a cheeky kiss, your friends having a blast on the dance floor… but I won’t. I'll capture all of those precious moments, so you and your partner can relive your special day over and over again.
I bring 12 years’ experience and a calm, confident nature that (I’ve been told multiple times!) helps my couples to enjoy being in the moment. You’ll often forget I’m there - and that’s when the magic happens.
I'm based in Queenstown, NZ, but I'm happy to travel to Auckland, Bay of Plenty and beyond.
Thinking about wedding photography?
The idea of being in front of the camera all day with your partner can feel a little intimidating, can’t it?
Trust me, I get it—I feel most comfortable behind the lens, too! But here’s the thing: your wedding day is so special, and your photos should capture every beautiful moment, exactly the way you’ve imagined. That’s why finding the right photographer is such an important decision.
The right photographer will make you feel completely at ease, like you’re hanging out with a friend. They’ll have you smiling, laughing, and relaxing before you know it. They'll also take the stress out of the process, guiding you every step of the way so you can focus on enjoying your day. And when it’s all said and done, they’ll deliver photos that bring back every feeling, every memory — and maybe even a few happy tears.
My Style
Looking for effortlessly beautiful photographs that feel natural—no awkward poses, stiff formalities, or over-the-top editing? You’re in the right place.
Capturing those perfectly imperfect moments with a touch of timeless romance is at the heart of everything I do. My style is all about highlighting your natural beauty and creating images that will still feel meaningful decades from now.
It’s never about chasing perfection—it’s about celebrating your reality at its most authentic and most beautiful.
As well as wedding photography, I offer family and kids photography (check out my boutique studio in Cambridge, The Little Photo Studio), and editorial photography (I’ll always have a soft spot for magazines & fashion).

I’m originally from England, where I studied photography and graphic design. I had a black and white darkroom in my kitchen in London (I was obsessed!), but ended up working as a graphic designer in the magazine industry for many years & didn't pick up a camera again until I had kids.
My boys were the catalyst for turning my passion into a career. I started photographing them, then other people's kids, then a friend asked me to photograph their wedding at the last minute... I did, and I absolutely loved it!
