FUN, AUTHENTIC + COOL AF WEDDING PHOTOS

CHOOSING A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER CAN BE DIFFICULT WITH SO MUCH CHOICE OUT THERE, SO HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER TO BOOK?

WELL IT COMES DOWN TO TWO THINGS.

FIRST OF ALL DO YOU LIKE THEIR PHOTOS?

GET TO KNOW ME A BIT BETTER:

MY MUM GOT ME MY FIRST SLR CAMERA WHEN I WAS 16 AND I'VE WANTED TO BE A PHOTOGRAPHER EVER SINCE.

I'M A FORMALLY TRAINED PHOTOGRAPHER; I'VE TWO DEGREES, ONE IN FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY AND ANOTHER IN PHOTOJOURNALISM.

BEFORE I SET UP MY EMMA MAY PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS I WORKED WITH FUJIFILM FOR 7 YEARS IN CAMERA SALES AND FILM LABS.

PIZZA IS MY FAVOURITE FOOD, I'D EAT IT AT ANY TIME OF DAY.

I LOVE ALL THINGS HORROR AND ONCE MET BRUCE CAMPBELL OF EVIL DEAD FAME. LIFE MADE.

I'VE TRAVELLED ALL OVER JAPAN AND EVEN SPEAK A TINY BIT OF JAPANESE...LIKE A TOTAL NINJA.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE PHOTOS,
IT'S ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

'I cannot begin to express how incredible Emma was and continues to be as our wedding photographer!

She was super easy to communicate with as she offered multiple ways to contact her. She was always open to new ideas or requests we had and her contract is super simple and straight forward.

Her price is definitely worth it and is very very reasonable for the amazing quality of her work that you will receive! She arrived to our venue exactly when she said she would and made all of us feel so comfortable when she was taking photos.

Everyone mentioned to us how friendly and approachable Emma was throughout the whole wedding. Emma was super open to fun ideas as well as being amazing and offering her own ideas that she thought would turn out amazing (and they did!) we received our photos just around 3 weeks after our ceremony and they are just AMAZING!

We honestly can’t choose just one favourite photo since they are all so amazing! You can tell just how much care and effort Emma puts into her work in every photograph.

If you are looking for a fun, friendly and super professional photographer for your wedding you cannot go wrong if you choose Emma!'

Everything goes! Alternative wedding photography is about saying goodbye to some of the stiff formal posing of the past and focusing on capturing authentic, candid photos with a more creative style. 

Want to have beer guys instead of flower girls? Do it!
Thinking of skipping the wedding cake and have donuts instead? Go for it!
Don't feel like a first dance but everyone says you should? Forget it! 
This is a huge commitment for both of you, not just as life partners but as event coordinators, family mediators and everything else that goes along with planning a wedding day. If you're going to go to all this effort, don't forget to put yourselves first from time to time and make the day as much your own as you want.

Alternative weddings aren't about being out there with your ideas (although I totally welcome all strange and unusual personal touches), they're about embracing the non-traditional and creating new traditions that suit your personal style which so many of my couples are doing with their weddings these days.

I set up my business as a Dublin wedding photographer to challenge myself and be creative with my camera so that's what I offer my clients.
Each wedding is an opportunity for me to think on the fly and create something cool, unique, special for all of my couples, and capturing the feeling of the day...and that's why you hire a professional wedding photographer like me.
