Olivia & Lemar Wedding – Hedsor House

June 13, 2025

Olivia & Lemar’s wedding at Hedsor House was the definition of timeless elegance – refined, romantic, and effortlessly stylish.

Hedsor House is always such a dream setting. From the grandeur of the architecture to the softness of the surrounding countryside, it has that rare ability to feel both iconic and intimate. Every space holds light beautifully, and the grounds lend themselves so naturally to clean, editorial portraits.

Olivia looked absolutely breathtaking – modern bridal simplicity done to perfection. Her look felt classic and fashion-forward at the same time, with a silhouette that moved beautifully and photographed like a dream. There was such a calm confidence to her all day, and the way Lemar looked at her said everything.

Their portraits were one of my favourite parts of the day – full of softness and quiet connection. The kind of images that feel elevated and effortless, with space for the moment to breathe.

Olivia & Lemar, thank you for trusting me with your wedding day. It was such a joy to photograph something so beautiful, so intentional, and so full of love.

WHY we're the perfect match

WE ARE SOULMATES

I photograph weddings for couples who prefer a relaxed yet beautiful style of wedding photography. My unobtrusive style enables me to capture the special moments & genuine emotions of the day. I pair these documentary style images with beautifully styled fine art fashion portraits & detail shots, to create a series of images that tell your unique wedding story in those most elegant way that I can. I enjoy working with natural light as much as possible, so that the images of your special day look exactly how you remember them.

My fine art approach, and use of soft natural light and a warm pastel colour palette, allows me to create fresh and luminous photography.

I focus on the intimate and sincere moments of your wedding, creating images that tell an honest and genuine story that will last forever. I will not just document the ceremony and the formalities, but those extra little moments which will give so much pleasure in years to come.

My style is for the romantics, the daydreamers & the lovers of the beauty of timeless simplicity.

"Hiring emma was the best investment we made for our wedding. she truly is an artist"

Emma was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was incredibly professional, calm, and kind, which made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire day.

She managed to be everywhere but never in the way, capturing so many natural moments, some we didn’t even realise were happening at the time. The lighting in every photo is stunning, and her attention to detail and composition is exceptional. We especially love her editorial style. Her work is truly exceptional.

Hiring Emma was truly the best investment we made for our wedding. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She truly is an artist.

"thank you for making my day the truly magical experience that it was"

One of the best wedding photographers in the UK! I wish I could add more stars because 5 isn’t enough.

Emma was an absolute pleasure to work with. I was made to feel at ease every step of the way. She was so amazing, I almost didn’t realise she was even there. The photographs were out of this world. Thank you for making my day the truly magical experience that it was, and now I have the wonderful memories from your pictures to last me a lifetime

Working with Emma as our wedding photographer, was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She has such a calm, gentle presence that instantly put us at ease, and made the whole day feel effortless.

She captured everything so naturally, nothing felt staged or forced, and the photos are just stunning. Full of light, emotion, and all the little in-between moments we didn’t even realise were happening. The photography style Emma uses, is quite luxury, understated but beautiful editorial style that we absolutely love.

So many of our guests commented on how lovely she was to have around. We feel really lucky to have had her there and will treasure the images forever.
