Emma Pilkington Fine Art Photography - Bridal Musings

Flourish & Fragile

September 15, 2016

Editorial, Portrait

I am so excited to be able to share this editorial for Bridal Musings that I shot way back in April at Fulham Palace.

This editorial collaboration was shot with the most amazing team. I finally had the opportunity to work with The Wedding Stylist who was an absolute dream to work with. Sundari sourced the perfect blend of suppliers for this shoot, who all added such unique details to the day.

The inspiration behind this shoot came from the beautiful venue setting and all of the talent working on two words to direct their creativity; flourish & fragile. From the floral design, make-up & hair right down to the beautiful paperie, each designer worked from these two basic concepts and the gorgeous Fulham Palace setting to build something simple, elegant and timeless as well as connect the design of the wedding to it’s surroundings and emphasise the beauty of the venue.

simple, elegant & timeless

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.
