Silk & Stone

June 1, 2016
Editorial, Portrait

Inspired by the beauty and colours of the landscapes and chateaus in the South of France I shot this French inspired editorial shoot Silk & Stone at Hassop Hall in Derbyshire for Rock My Wedding.

With a backdrop of Hassop Hall and a team of talented suppliers I put together this inspirational shoot for boho brides. Inspiration for modern couples who want a relaxed yet beautiful theme for their wedding.

Our warm yet muted colour scheme can be easily recreated. The dresses and accessories we chose are effortlessly easy to wear, no matter where you’re getting married.

The bias cut silk gowns by Kate Beaumont and blush beaded shoes by the amazing Emmy Shoes were the perfect pairing for our chateau inspired backdrop. The beautifully draped fabrics caught the light and looked so elegant on our model Sophia.

Stylist Nina Marika created a rustic tablescape complete with fresh fruit, pastel macaroons and hand calligraphed stationery by Claire Gould.

Hair and make-up artist Sarah Morten created a series of soft and romantic styles to complement each dress. Each look was based around creating something that would be achievable for the modern bride.

Florist Anna Potter from Swallow & Damsons put together natural bouquets in a green, grey and dusty pink colour scheme. The florals were teamed up with hand dyed silk ribbons by Lancaster and Cornish. Perfect for our silk & stone vision.

With an abundance of natural light and so many glorious backdrops to choose from, I was spoilt for choice on this fine art editorial shoot. I shot on a combination of film and digital to create this ethereal series of images for Rock My Wedding.

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

"SUCH BEAUTIFUL CANDID PHOTOGRAPHS & EVERYTHING WE ASKED FOR"

Emma’s photos are so beautiful and we couldn't be happier with her service!!! She was really kind and understanding before, during, and after the wedding. We will be recommending her to everyone who we know getting married. Such beautiful candid photographs and everything we asked for.🤍🤍🤍

CONNIE & TOM

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.

"THe photos are just stunning - full of light, emotion & all the little inbetween moments"
