Fantastic, would recommend as a Wedding photographer!
When we first met Emma, we knew she was the photographer that we wanted for our wedding and she did not disappoint!  We had a great pre-wedding shoot where she asked all the questions needed for us to get all the wedding photos that we wanted and she made us both feel at ease.  On the day, Emma calmly and expertly ensured that everything went to plan, and it never felt like we were missing any part of the day, and she got great photos throughout the day by blending into the background.  Neither of us tend to like photos of ourselves, but Emma took so many great photos that we struggled to work out which photos we wanted in our album.  We would thoroughly recommend Emma and Bloomwood Photography for everyone's wedding!

Gave us the most amazing memories
Having both felt a little unsure about having a camera follow us on our wedding, I can honestly say Emma was the best we could’ve asked for. We met prior to the big day which gave us the chance to get to know each other, how she worked and for her to understand what we wanted from the day. Emma immediately made us feel comfortable and we left feeling relieved with our choice in photographer. On the day, Emma wasn’t just a photographer, she helped with little details and gave a reassuring smile from the start. She immediately made you feel relaxed. Emma worked her way through all our photos thats we had requested and then took some lovely natural photos. So natural that when seeing them, we didn’t realised she’d even been there at them moments. Emma not only ensured she got all special moments but she most importantly gave us the space to enjoy our day. Emma provided excellent communication throughout the whole process and was very approachable. After the wedding we met with Emma and was able to order some albums. These were put together so well and will be treasured for many years. I can’t thank Emma enough for all her work in creating the most amazing memories for us and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Beyond happy!
Me and my wife are beyond happy our photographs! Through the initial booking, a pre-wedding meeting, the day itself and the delivery — they were incredibly down to earth in their approach. Emma and the team absolutely delivered for us. They’re respectful, professional and incredibly resourceful in their shooting style, producing work we felt was really timeless. We have absolute confidence in recommending them to others!

Magical please don’t hesitate
If you’re reading this review DO NOT HESITATE! Book Emma and Ross. From the first email to even after our wedding they have been nothing but amazing! So many of our wedding guests were constantly telling me on the day and after how good were the photographers can I have their details that must speak for itself. For a couple who have never been in front of a professional camera they made us feel so comfortable, after we had our pre wedding photos come back this made us relax so much knowing the photos on the wedding day would be fantastic! If you splurge on anything at your wedding please choose Emma and Ross as your photographer! That’s all that’s left from the wedding day and believe me it will be worth it for you! We are both so so happy with our photos and the service, they made you feel like friends not just a number to them. They even climbed through lavender bushes and walked around a farm with us to get the perfect shots! Thankyou isn’t enough, Dan & Kara Sharod xxx

Wedding
Our wedding was in August 2023, we feel so relaxed on our first meeting. We were so comfortable on our pre wedding photoshoot and on our wedding day. She captured all the special moments, the smile and laughters we had during the wedding. Emma is very professional and friendly. She knows the best positions/poses to capture the best pictures. She will reply to any questions. Never regret to have Emma on our wedding day. It all went well from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Captured to perfection!
From our initial phonecall with Emma, we knew straight away that she would be the perfect person to capture our wedding day. The whole process from start to finish was so simple. Emma was so accommodating with our pre-wedding shoot (dodging the rain!), the chaos of the wedding morning, and more rain-dodging on our wedding day. For two people who aren't that comfortable being in front of the camera, Emma found ways to make us laugh and actually enjoy the process. The final photographs are truly stunning and every time we show people or look through them ourselves, it just makes us want to do the day all over again. Through these photos, Emma has provided us with snapshots of the day to last a lifetime and treasure forever. We cannot thank or recommend Emma highly enough!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Vintage, Fun, Relaxed, Natural & Contemporary

What about your business are you most proud of?

Since starting the business I'm most proud of the relationships we've built up with many of the couples that we've photographed - many of whom I would now call friends. We always feel very lucky when couples choose us to be a part of one the most personal and special days of their lives. We spend time getting to know the bride and groom before the wedding to ensure they are relaxed on the day, and we get to see things that not even their family and closest friends do. Many of the relationships we develop don't end after the wedding day... we are often then asked to capture the weddings of their family and friends too. We genuinely get to know people and that means they are comfortable around us and let us get the best shots! We often become a 'photographer for life' and we get asked to photograph other events such as family parties, christenings or even newborn portraits. This makes us proud as we get to see the enjoyment people get from our work - not just on the day itself, but over time as they look back too.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

The first thing we would say is that not all wedding photographers are the same… have a look around and talk to people to find out what styles you like and what you expect from your wedding photography.  A wedding is a personal experience shared with friends and family, and the photos that record all of the moments and little details are just as personal.  We get to know every couple who let us be a part of their wedding and building a relationship is an important part of getting great photographs. If you get on with your photographer and trust them it allows for a far more relaxed and enjoyable wedding day… and a happy couple makes for better photographs.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We meet up initially to discuss your wedding photography and for you to view albums and galleries of previous weddings we have photographed. You would then have an engagement shoot, this is a great chance to spend some time with you in a more casual environment, and get you used to being in front of the camera lens.  We then meet four weeks before the wedding day to go through the final schedule for the BIG day and in order to find out exactly what you want from us, there isn’t time to be wasted on the wedding day itself, so preparation time is well spent to ensure that we capture all the photographs you want.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Every couple genuinely wants something different, so we make suggestions rather than tell people what photos they must have. But the main recommendation we would always make is for couple to take 5 minutes for themselves away from everyone straight after the ceremony. This is when it really sinks in that they are married and they can share a personal moment or two. I don't pose them, or get too close, but get one or two natural photos from a distance. That's one of the moments of the day most couples really cherish and without a photo to capture it would often get lost and forgotten amongst everything else going on during the day.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Rain isn't something to be scared of. Anyone involved with weddings regularly knows that the weather is the one thing you can't control, and can have a different impact depending upon the venue. Often rain gives couples the opportunity to get something a bit different or quirky, and we always ensure we have a number of beautiful umbrellas and flash lighting to get something creative. But the main advice I would give to a couple is to trust your photographer and be flexible. Being entirely honest it might mean that not every shot planned and wanted will be possible, but we make sure we get photos to tell the story of the day, but also the 'wow' shots that couples want to share with friends and family. Often it might mean whisking the couple away for 5 - 10 minutes at different times through the day to catch the odd break in rain, but the couple should just enjoy themselves and leave it to us to worry about how the weather will affect the photos.
