Frequently Asked Questions
-
I specialise in capturing authentic, candid moments with a focus on natural light and a timeless feel. Whether it’s a wedding or a lifestyle session, I aim to create images that reflect genuine emotions and interactions, as well as lots of fun!
-
Absolutely! I love capturing stories in new and unique locations. Travel fees depend on distance, so just get in touch for a custom quote. For photoshoots over an hour from Donaghadee, a small additional travel fee will apply.
-
Most lifestyle sessions run about 45 minutes for families and around an hour for couples. Sometimes it might be a little longer if we’re exploring a beautiful location, or a bit shorter if the kids need a break – that’s totally fine! No matter how long we spend together, we’ll capture genuine moments and create images you’ll love.
-
Neutral tones and coordinating (but not matching) outfits work best! I recommend avoiding loud patterns, large logos, and super bright colors, as they can be distracting in photos. I’m happy to send you a style guide to help you pick outfits that will look amazing on camera. Most importantly, just be yourselves – that’s what makes the images truly special!
-
Yes, every image you receive will be professionally and personally edited to enhance lighting, colour, and overall aesthetic. I aim to keep my editing natural, ensuring your images remain true to the day’s authentic colours and emotions.
-
For lifestyle shoots, I am more than happy for you to send some photos we can take inspiration from, especially fun poses!
For weddings, I always recommend a family photo list to ensure we capture all the important people. Beyond that, I prioritise candid moments but am happy to incorporate any specific shots you have in mind. We’ll discuss this during our pre-wedding consultation.

“Emily is an absolute superstar! She is so professional, and her art is incredible. She captured our wedding perfectly - she made us feel entirely at ease and sent us previews and full gallery in excellent time. Couldn’t recommend her enough, not to mention an absolute steal when comparing prices to other photographers available!”
Emily is amazing! She did our engagement shoot and our wedding and the photos are so beautiful! She is so relaxed and captured our relationship and special day so perfectly. Her style is very natural and she is amazing at capturing the wee moments where you don’t even realise she’s taking photos. Would highly recommend to anybody!
“Emily is a wonderful photographer and a joy to work with! Emily took photos for our engagement shoot and also our wedding day - both days were so easy going and brilliant craic!

Emily is exceptional! With every shot she takes so much care ensuring every little moment is captured. Emily is also incredibly versatile in her work and is able to capture both the stills but also the candid and fun moments. Emily’s communication throughout her shoots is fab, making you feel calm but also like you know what you are doing! would highly recommend for any occasion

“You will never get a more lovely, perfect & professional photographer for your photoshoots. We always use Emily and have never had the most beautiful photos. She always makes us feel so special, comfortable, brings out your own personality to reflect in the photos. Emily will become your sweet friend after the shoot!”
We've adored every minute we've spent with Emily. Emily is talented, caring, and professional. Emily was really patient with us and helped us feel at ease. We like how personal she made all of our shots, capturing who we are while still feeling natural. Emily goes above and beyond (including hiding under rocks to record our engagement!). We could not recommend Emily enough. Every photo we received was beautiful, and we were able to access them without any issues. Our wedding will be our third picture shoot with Emily, and she was our first choice because we had such a positive previous experience with her. Emily makes you feel at ease and confident during your photoshoot, making it a truly enjoyable experience. Thank you, Emily
