I’m Em & I’m pleased to meet you.
I’m a wedding photographer from West Berkshire who’s here to make your photography experience one of the easiest and most enjoyable parts of your wedding day. You’ll look absolutely beautiful, and I’ll ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed, so you can fully enjoy every moment while I capture it all in a true-to-life, vibrant editing style that brings your memories back to life.
I live in a village near Reading, West Berkshire with my husband. Our home is a 300 year old cottage that we’ve been enjoying restoring for the last 9 years.
We share our home with two rescue dogs and our three boys when they visit. Sundays at home are sacred to us. More often than not, we end up preparing a chicken dinner for both the boys and the dogs. A typical Sunday at Crofters sees us cooking up a feast that could rival any medieval banquet! We’re talking about a roast dinner extravaganza, complete with a Yorkshire pudding cook-off and more side dishes than anyone can handle!
But above all, our Sundays are about spending quality family time together, no matter how hectic or busy my schedule gets!
As a terribly self conscious person in front of any camera I honestly do empathise with everyone’s awkwardness when I’m taking their photo. It’s my theory that most of us don’t enjoy having our photos taken so I make it my mission to create a fun experience for all of my clients.
Don’t you think if you enjoyed the process of getting the photo taken, then you are much more likely to love it when you see it?
Although I appear shy in front of the camera, I worked in the defence industry for over 17 years before I decided to pursue my passion for photography full time. so I don’t spook easily! Very helpful with organising those group photos, or should the event organiser need some extra help !

Creating relaxed and natural wedding photos starts with trust. That’s why I take the time to meet in person with every single couple who books me, before their big day. This time together helps us to get to know each other, I can understand your concerns, and learn what’s most important to you.
I also make an effort to remember the first names of your key people—like parents, grandparents, and your wedding party—so everyone feels comfortable and at ease on the day. My goal is to feel more like a friend capturing your story than just a supplier at work, making your experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.”
I won’t just capture the smiles- I’ll help to create them if some of your guests are reluctant !
If someone needs help with painful blisters, with a crooked tie or a stubborn button hole, I’m happy to help. My wedding day kit bag contains way more than just lens cloths & spare batteries !
I like to think that I’m the West Berkshire wedding photographer who ensures that the couple and their guests are not just posing for photos but are genuinely enjoying every second of your most special day.
What you can expect on the day …..
I know you’ll be super excited to see your photos after your wedding day.
So I’ll send you a few preview highlight shots 48 hours after your wedding. The full gallery of photos, carefully edited in my signature style, will be sent to you via a password-protected online gallery within 4-5 weeks after your wedding. So you can cuddle up together on the sofa, pop a bottle of champagne or Nozecco, and relive your day all over again!
I’ve had the privilege of photographing over 125 weddings so far & the trust that each & every client puts in me to capture the story of their day continues to be precious. I’m so proud that by the end of their wedding day, I’m often considered to be a friend who’s photos will keep safe the memories of their special day.
