Emilie May was the perfect photographer to capture our big day. She was super friendly, professional and blended right in; all of our guests kept telling us how relaxed they felt around her, and that's exactly how we both felt throughout the day. And that was before we even saw the photos! We can't even put into words how much we love them. I couldn't stop crying when I saw them, and we've been looking at them constantly ever since receiving them. She captured our day so perfectly, you can see how happy everyone is just by looking at the photos because they are all so beautiful. We can't thank

I can't recommend Emilie enough she was absolutely brilliant at every moment. She slotted in perfectly with the girls as we got ready and managed to capture all the fun candid moments throughout the day our guests commented that they barely noticed her taking photos. For two people who were incredibly nervous about the photography side of things, she also made the group shots feel natural and relaxed. She even stuck around for the evening party! We love the photos we've seen so far, and can't wait to see the rest!

Emilie is an absolute gem. We could not be happier with the pictures we now have our wedding day. Being a plus size bride with low confidence in front of a camera, I was very worried about having someone following me round all day but I needn't have worried at all! She captured the best of me and made both of us feel at ease almost instantly. If you want someone who is able to capture all of those special moments that you may have forgotten about then Emilie is for you! It also rained pretty much non-stop on our wedding day but that didn't stop us from capturing some beautiful photos. She also

Emilie had been booked to capture our wedding celebration on 19th September (with 70 guests) in Clitheroe. But, Coronavirus.
Instead, Emilie joined me, my now husband and six guests, post wedding ceremony at the Manchester Registry Office on 17th September (which had a Covid19 secure capacity of 8 people per wedding) to capture our small wedding reception. The photos are incredible, and capture, despite everything, such a special and memorable day. Emilie was so creative and used city centre architecture as such original backdrops to our photos. I would recommend Emilie to any couple who are

Great photographer. Not only are the photos brilliant but she's also a fun person to have at the wedding. She spoke to people, had time for a chat and wasn't even noticeable at the church. Because she made time to speak to guests, she captured some great moments and group shots. Definitely recommended.
