Wedding Photography
At Ember Studios, I'm here for the couples who ditch tradition and say yes to something smaller, wilder, and completely theirs. No awkward poses, no waiting around for endless group shots. Just the two of you and a whole lot of feeling. Captured as it actually happens. So, if your idea of a big day is a small one (with maybe a dog as a ring bearer), my friend, you're in exactly the right place.
Micro Weddings & Elopements
Offering relaxed, storytelling wedding photography for micro weddings and elopements across Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and beyond (I love a road trip). Whether we're chasing light across a Peak District hillside, tucked into a quaint registry office, or somewhere completely unique, it's all about genuine connection and personality. The unconventional... dive bars, forests, back gardens, cinemas... wherever you choose, it's about capturing you two.
Just real love, beautifully told.
Does This Sound Like You?
You might be exactly who this is for if...
-
You just want a photographer for a few hours, not a full-day production
-
Your dog is on the guest list (and, let's be honest, probably the ring bearer)
-
You'd rather elope on a Tuesday than spend a year planning a seating chart
-
"First dance" makes you cringe, but "swimming in a lake at some point" does not
-
Your wedding shoes might be a pair of Converse or Dr Martens
-
Your idea of a venue is a hillside, a pub garden, or somewhere completely unique
If any of that made you nod, we're probably a good fit.
Feel like a rockstar...
No performing required. I've photographed bands like While She Sleeps, Cane Hill, and Alter Bridge.
It taught me to read a room, adapt to whatever's happening and notice the moments that matter. Your wedding gets the same attention: considered, unobtrusive photos of the real day, however loud or quiet you want it to be.
I love to travel. Always up for an adventure. For an additional travel fee (over a 25-mile radius to my location), I'll pack my gear (and car snacks, of course) and meet you wherever your story feels most alive.
Every wedding package is tailored to you: up to 5 hours of coverage, whether that's a full afternoon or just a few hours to catch the vows and a few cool portraits after. Some couples want it all documented start to finish; others just want the ceremony and a handful of shots before they disappear off to celebrate. No rigid shot lists, no chasing the clock. I move with your day, not against it.
And for the parts I don't stick around for? Here's a little tip... Grab a stack of disposable cameras and leave them on the tables. Hand them round the room, let your guests loose, and get the blurry, chaotic, entirely-real shots that only a disposable camera can capture.
What's included:

A Relaxed Approach...
I know a camera in your face isn't everyone's idea of romance. I, myself, am happier behind the camera (hence my job). So, I know how uncomfortable it can feel to some. My calm, intuitive approach is especially suited to couples who'd rather skip the traditional script; no forced first looks, no "chin down, chin up," no rigid group shots boring your guests. I'm all about gentle direction and giving you space to just be yourselves. Because the best photos happen when nobody's performing.
