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 and editorial 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.
YOU'RE ENGAGeD! NOW WHAT?
The thought of posing in front of a camera with your partner for an entire day feels pretty daunting, right?
I prefer being behind the lens myself, so I totally get your nerves! It’s your one special day and your one chance to get the beautiful photos you’ve dreamed of, which is why choosing the right photographer is crucial.
The right person will make you feel at ease. They’ll make you smile, laugh and relax. They’ll help take the stress out of the planning process, and they’ll go above & beyond to deliver stunning photos that make you want to cry (happy tears, that is).
My Style
Want effortlessly gorgeous photographs, without the awkward posing, stuffy formalities or heavy editing? This is my speciality.
Adding a touch of timeless romance to those perfectly imperfect moments is the heart & soul of my shooting style. I’m all about enhancing natural beauty, and I don’t get caught up in trends because your photos need to stand the test of time.
It’s not about perfection... it’s about reality at its best & 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!
