Is My Date Free?
See The Chaos

Looking for a Berkshire wedding photographer who’ll capture your day exactly as it felt, full of laughter, happy tears and dance-floor chaos, without dragging you away from your guests for hours of stiff posing? Hello, you’ve found her.

I’m Emma, a fun and candid wedding photographer based in Portsmouth, and I love nothing more than heading into Berkshire for a wedding. From beautiful barns in the countryside near Newbury to grand and spectacular military celebrations, it’s a county packed with gorgeous venues and brilliant couples, and I’d be thrilled to tell your story here.

Why Berkshire is Such a Beautiful Place to Get Married

Berkshire is one of those counties that has a little bit of everything. You’ve got rolling countryside and the Berkshire Downs, the riverside charm of the Thames Valley, the grandeur of Windsor and Ascot, the buzz of Reading and Newbury, and some seriously grand settings if you’re after real wow factor. Relaxed rustic barn, or something properly posh and steeped in tradition? Berkshire’s got you covered.

My Style: Fun, Candid & Full of Life

My style is natural, unposed and full of life, with a creative eye for the bold and dramatic too. I’m there for all of it: the morning nerves and laughter, the emotional ceremony, the speeches that make everyone cry-laugh, and the dance floor once the party really gets going. I blend into the day so you can soak up every second with the people you love, and by the time I leave I usually feel like an old family friend. That’s exactly the point, because when you forget the camera’s there, that’s when the honest, unguarded photos happen.

I’m also multi-award-winning and internationally recognised for my flash and lighting work, so from a blazing summer afternoon to a dark dance floor, your photos are always in very safe hands.

Berkshire Wedding Venues I’ve Photographed At

Military wedding at Sandhurst

Here are some of the gorgeous Berkshire venues I’ve had the joy of working at, have a click through and see real weddings at each:

Newbury The Post Barn at Snelsmore House, Newbury – a rustic, warm and characterful barn venue just outside Newbury, with garden games, fire pits and a balcony made for magic. In fact, one wedding here won me three awards across two international photography bodies, including a dreamy shutter-drag fairy-light portrait on that very balcony.

Sandhurst & Military Weddings The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst – one of the most spectacular and unique wedding venues in the country, straddling the Berkshire and Surrey border, complete with sword arches and serious grandeur.

Getting married somewhere not on the list? Don’t worry, I’m always happy to shoot at new venues, and I travel right across Berkshire and beyond.

Pangbourne The Elephant at Pangbourne, a wonderfully eclectic hotel and a wildly fun same-sex wedding full of colour, matching tattoos and a cheese cake cut with a sword.

A Little Note on Military Weddings

Berkshire is home to some incredible military venues, and photographing a wedding at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst was an absolute honour. If you’re planning a military wedding, with all its tradition, ceremony and emotion, I’d love to capture it for you. Sword arches, port toasts and all!

Based in Portsmouth, Covering Berkshire & Beyond

I’m based in Portsmouth, perfectly placed to travel up to Berkshire for weddings across the county, from Newbury and Reading to Windsor, Ascot, Bracknell, Maidenhead and Sandhurst, plus Hampshire, West Sussex, Surrey and further afield. Wherever your day is happening, getting to you is easy.

Kind Words From Real Couples

“Emma captured moments of the day that went unnoticed, capturing the love, emotion and laughter of the day… Emma is so much fun and brings natural laughter and ease to photos that can otherwise seem put together and ordered.”
