Documentary Wedding Photography for Couples Who Value Real Moments
I’m Emilie, a documentary wedding photographer based in Cheshire, capturing weddings across the UK for couples who care more about how their day feels.
My approach is calm, unobtrusive, and story-led. I focus on the in-between moments, the quiet glances, the laughter, the happy tears, and the fleeting interactions that often go unnoticed. Rather than directing or staging your day, I allow it to unfold naturally, documenting it honestly and beautifully as it happens.
I believe the most powerful photographs aren’t perfectly posed; they’re emotionally true. My work is timeless, warm, and candid, created for couples who want to relive their wedding day exactly as it was, not a version of it.
What It’s Like Working With Me
Couples often tell me they forgot I was there, and that’s exactly how it should be. I blend into the background, offering gentle guidance only when needed, so you can be fully present with the people you love.
From our first conversation, I’ll make you feel at ease. I take the time to understand what matters most to you, your story, your people, and the moments you don’t want to forget.
Who I’m Best For
My work is ideal for couples who:
As early as you can, especially for peak dates. Many couples book 12–18 months ahead. If your wedding is sooner, still get in touch, sometimes I have availability due to date changes.
Yes. I’m based in Altrincham and photograph weddings across Cheshire, the North West and beyond.
Travel is included within 25 miles of WA14. For weddings beyond this, travel is charged at 45p per mile (round trip).
Yes, absolutely. If you’d like group photos, we’ll keep them organised and efficient. I’ll help you plan a short list in advance so it doesn’t take over your drinks reception. Think quick, calm, and done, not a 40-minute photo marathon.
