Let me introduce myself
Hey! I'm Emily, a photographer and tutor based in a sleepy seaside town near Margate, Kent. Creativity has always been part of who I am — from colouring and crafting as a kid to selling origami frogs in the playground (my first business venture!)
Education
Photography first caught my eye during my exam years and never let go. I studied at the University for the Creative Arts and Kingston University, where I earned a BA (hons) in Photography. Those years gave me space to explore, experiment, and turn my passion into a profession, while leaving plenty of room to play!
Building the dream...
After graduating, I poured my energy into two passions — photography and education. I now run two photography businesses, wedding photography as well as The Darkroom at Beach Creative, a space for learning and community. Born from my love of analogue photography!
With 10 years of industry experience, I love capturing genuine emotion and the quiet beauty that makes each story unique and true to you.
My approach
I work 99% candidly, with the remaining 1% reserved for those all-important group shots and portraits of the newlyweds! My approach is always candid-focused, but when needed, I’ll gently guide you with prompts that encourage natural movement, connection and emotion. Nothing stiff or overly posed, just a little direction to help you feel comfortable, make the most of the light, and create something that feels like you.
For me, photography isn’t about perfect poses. It’s about connection, emotion, and the beauty of real life.
I blend quietly into the background, letting you be yourselves while I capture the laughter, the glances, the happy tears, and all those in-between moments that tell the story of your day.
My goal is simple: to create warm, honest, timeless images that feel as real as the moment itself.
other bits...
At this point, photography is my world — but when I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me outdoors either camping, hiking, sea swimming, running, I love it all! Find me on Instagram to find my latest adventures!
