We booked Emma for our wedding at High House in July, and we could not be happier. We had the best day and Emma was just wonderful. Emma is very talented at what she does. She takes the time to really listen to what you want, and she then works her magic on the day. She is so personable and was really great with everyone on the day, and we absolutely loved all of our photos - everyone did! We can't recommend Emma enough!

Emma did a fantastic job with her photography for our wedding.

She was very helpful to deal with in the lead up to the big day, including our run through with the pre-shoot a few weeks before. We knew exactly what to expect from Emma, who was detailed in her plan as to what posed shots we were going to take with family and friends, along with what shots would be taken of us and where during the day.

We wanted to go for a natural approach rather than too posey, and Emma did a great job with this, as neither of us are massive fans of being in front of the camera!

Overall, we were so pleased with how the photos came out, despite a windy and chilly day! We had fun and Emma ensured to keep spirits high and went out of her way to offer any further help during the day. We would highly recommend her, and had a fantastic day with her at Little Channels in Chelmsford! ❤️

Emma photographed our wedding in November 2022 and she is the most amazing photographer.

We met Emma for a pre-wedding photoshoot and a planning meeting and from the moment we met her she put us at ease and took all the time to discuss what we wanted.

On the wedding day Emma was a joy to work with. She was so funny, lovely and professional. She had to deal with rain and annoying guests but she did it with such ease and took spectacular photographs.

Please book Bloomwood Photography, you won’t be disappointed. Emma fits so perfectly into the wedding day!! It was a joy to have Emma share our special day with us.

We booked Emma for our wedding in August last year. Choosing the right photographer is critical for any wedding day, so it's not a decision we made lightly. We knew within moments of meeting Emma that we'd made a great choice. Emma instantly made us feel at ease and was a true professional in the leadup and on the big day itself. She worked so well with our two videographers (to the point my mother thought they were all in the same company!). Emma honestly felt like our hype team throughout the day - she was so positive, worked unobtrusively but was somehow always there when we needed her! She offered support and pose suggestions, capturing traditional shots as well as candid, in the moment ones. The photos are just magical and exactly what we had hoped for, so many special moments captured that even now I struggle to pick my favourites as they are all so amazing! They are absolutely stunning and we can't thank her enough for capturing all of the magic of our special day. We highly recommend Bloomwood Photography!

From start to finish Emma was fantastic with us. From rescheduling our wedding 2 times right up until the wedding day she made everything so easy & she was so friendly, made us laugh & put us at ease. The snippets we have of our photos are amazing & we can’t wait to see the rest. Ross was fantastic in the evening & made such an effort to get perfect sunset photos. Just a massive thank you to you both .. xx

We booked Emma as our photographer for our wedding in July. She is so lovely, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and she fitted in perfectly into our day. We loved all our wedding photos. 100% recommend!

We absolutely recommend Emma for wedding pics ( and more!) From the moment we met Emma to still now she has been nothing but friendly and helpful. The photographs are stunning and a mixture of posed and natural which is just what we wanted. She blended in most of the time and was never intrusive. She was so helpful on our actual wedding day it was just like having another guest there. Everyone who has since seen pics have all said how amazing they are. They capture every moment and when I look at them they make me relive the day. There aren't enough words say how fantastic I think Emma has been all along. Thank you!

Ross from Bloomwood photography was a true professional.

Upon our first meeting, He put us at rest and was lovely with our daughter. very calming natured and patient.

Ross kept in contact constantly before the wedding and planned with us to enable him to capture all we wanted.

The final outcome was superb. So happy. Captured everything we wanted and more! We are really glad we got the happiest photographer in the UK to be with us on our day.

Thanks so much Ross Hammond.

From our first encounter with Emma she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Emma worked incredibly well with the team at High House and knew what shots and locations would work best to capture our wedding day. She worked unobtrusively in the background which resulted in some lovely natural shots. The pictures she has produced are absolutely beautiful and we can't thank her enough for capturing the magic on our special day.

We cannot thank Emma enough! A rocky start with postponements but she accommodated our date changes and was so quick to respond to us all the way through. On the day Emma was so much more than our photographer, she was 100% part of our day and now I actually can’t imagine our day without her in it! Our photos were fantastic and so much more than I’d imagined and I will definitely be recommending Bloomwood Photography to anyone that will listen! Thank you so much for helping to make our day magical 💫 Ellie & Matt x

Emma was absolutely amazing. From the engagement photos to the wedding photos. The pictures turned out beautifully. Everyone commented on how great we looked. Emma was knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. She even helped me into my corset back wedding dress which was really above and beyond. I’d happily recommend her to anyone.

Emma and Ross were amazing. So glad we had them as our wedding photographers. It felt like two more friends at the wedding, everyone commented on how friendly they are. The photos are absolutely stunning, and captured the day perfectly. We highly recommend them.

From our first contact with Emma she was fabulous at making us feel at ease! We had a nightmare situation where our previously booked photographer pulled out 7 weeks before our wedding. Emma jumped in to the rescue and amazingly could fit us in to her extremely busy schedule! We both really appreciated that her packages and pricing bands are very clear on her website. It made it easy for us to know exactly what we were getting and what we could expect from her.

We had a great pre-wedding shoot with Emma where we could all get to know each other a little bit and my husband and I had a chance to get a bit more comfortable in front of the camera!

By the time the wedding day came along, Emma slotted perfectly into the bridal prep and was a lovely calming influence on us all.

Throughout the day Emma worked extremely hard to run around and capture all of the little bits we had asked for - you could really see how dedicated she was to making sure we got everything we wanted from the photos!

Our guests were all so complimentary of her and even they could see how hard she was working for us.

After the date, the photos were all edited and ready for us to view within the dates Emma had told us, and we were just absolutely overjoyed to see such amazing coverage of our big day!

Thank you so much Emma for your dedication and hard work! I would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone and everyone.

So where do I start? My wife and I were looking for a wedding photographer in the Essex area to capture our wedding at The Lawn in Rochford.
Sounds simple enough right? Well not exactly because I am a photographer myself! We live in Bournemouth but the wedding is in Essex (where my wife is from) so not only did I have to look but I had to look in an area I know nothing about! I thought the task would be super stressful. I was wrong. I looked through about 30-40 photographers and I couldn't find a photographer that MAKES photos. Anyone can take a photo but it takes a special eye and talent to capture and make images. I was almost going to give up as I hadn't managed to find anyone that had a style I liked. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't even a case of cost. I just couldn't find anyone I liked regardless of price.
Then I come across Bloomwood Photography's facebook page. I was just searching facebook for pages. I loved her images and knew she had the aforementioned eye and talent. I knew almost right away that she absolutely HAD to be our photographer.
The only other thing I needed to be sure of is if she is a nice person. I mean let's be honest, a wedding is an incredibly intimate and special time for a couple, the person that is going to spend more time with you than your other half has to be a nice person!
My wife isn't a shy person but she wouldn't exactly say she is comfortable in front of the camera.
I had to find someone that would be able to put her at ease so the absolute best images can be created!
So let me paint you a picture. It's Summer 2019.
I gave her a call one weekday evening.
She was a delight to talk to!
But I had my check list so casually I got to work asking questions during our lovely chat.
By the end of the phone call my checklist looked something like this.
Professional = ✔
Fun = ✔
Likes a bit of banter = ✔
Knowledgeable = ✔
Experienced = ✔
Transparent about prices = ✔
Uses Canon equipment!! = ✔✔✔(ok that was a joke as the only people that care what equipment photographers use is other photographers! 😁😆)
I digress, but you get the picture (pun intended) Emma was ticking all the boxes and I knew we HAD HAD HAD to have her as our photographer!
We booked the Bridal prep until first dance + a second photographer to capture the Groom prep and to get things from another angle during the day. Even the best photographer can't be in two places at once!
The second photographer was none other than Emma's own husband! Although I didn't speak to him or meet him until the day, It didn't matter. I knew whoever Emma used for a second shooter would be suitable and would be the same style!
Some of you maybe wondering... Summer 2019? does that mean you wanted to book for 2020? Yes. Yes I did. August 2020 when we were in the middle of a global pandemic! This really enforced my decision that we should book Emma because from start to finish, Emma's communication was second to none. She constantly adapted and changed with the times! In total, we had 4 different dates for our wedding and not once was the price affected. People ask me, OMG you were meant to get married during the 'rona, wasn't that super stressful?
The simple answer is no. Not in the slightest. Disappointing yes. But never stressful. Emma was more than happy to swap us to other dates providing she wasn't already booked. Because I had to have Emma shooting our special day I made sure she was free first then we would ask the venue, then registrars etc etc.
Bottom line - Emma did an amazing thing during covid. She ensured the couples that wanted to book her were as stress-free as possible. Something that I highly respect and admire about her.
All this and we haven't even got to the day yet!
We had a pre wedding shoot which was lovely as it gave us an opportunity to get to know each other. by the time the big day got here, the beautiful bride was completely comfortable about having photos!
So about The Wedding Day....
I could literally show you the images as they are literally a story. The way she captured certain things and told the story of our day had my wife and I in tears 3-4 weeks after the big day when we received our photos because they brought back all the emotions and experiences as if we were there again. All the guests liked her and had loads of comments about how lovely she was to talk to.
Emma from Bloomwood in a nutshell.
A truly remarkable talented photographer with an extremely wonderful way with people.
If you are reading this. Book Emma. Emma nailed it. Don't bother going for anyone else. I did my research and I was not disappointed. Book her and will not be disappointed either! 😍
My wife has said to me many times since the big day that she was so impressed with Emma that aside from the group photos, she hardly realised that Emma was even there creating these wonderful images!
Now a message to Emma that anyone reading this won't like.... Your prices are such amazing value! I would have happily paid more for the exact same service!
Increase your prices! You are worth every penny!
Emma & Ross, you were incredible. It was an honour choosing you to capture our special day. There isn't anyone else I'd rather have and there isn't a single thing I would change.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for us. We felt like we've made two new friends! 🙈
Words can't explain how much I appreciate you but as you can see, I've given it a pretty good go!!!🙃

From the first time we met Emma at our planning meeting/ engagement shoot we knew straight away that she was the photographer we had to have! Emma made us feel so at ease, we had a giggle and got to know each other before the big day.

Words just cannot describe how amazing Emma was on the day. To us she was more than a photographer, it was like having a friend to lean on through the whole day, checking if we were okay, having a chat and again making us laugh. Emma interacted with all of our guests and everyone has said how amazing she was, and at the same time there was points were we had no clue she was taking pictures and captured the day and all the special, intimate moments perfectly.

We could not recommend Emma enough and she is already aware that we will be booking her in the future for any event we need a photographer 💕
