"We are not posy people at all and didn't need to be, we were made to feel at ease and it felt like a friend was there with us."
HAPPY OTTER PHOTOGRAPHY
York Wedding Photographer
(available throughout Northern England - Lincoln, Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester, Carlisle, Newcastle... and anywhere in between!)
​
Introvert friendly, fun and relaxed Yorkshire wedding photography for down to earth couples.
​
I'm Emma - a photographer and people watcher.
​
Always watching and listening, I spot little moments and capture them forever.
​
I focus on photography that is all about real smiles and genuine moments between you and your loved ones.
I create photos that will still be cherished in 50 years time.
​
I live in a village called Tockwith just outside York and work throughout Northern England.
WHAT'S WITH THE OTTERS?
​
It stems from my zoological background combined with a love for people who aren't posers.
​
I got my first camera to photograph otters behaving naturally on the banks of the river Ouse near York, and now I photograph weddings for clients who don't like too much posing, and prefer real and relaxed photos.
​
Otters are shy and elusive, naturally playful creatures - but even otters can have beautiful wedding photos.
​
What type of people become happy otters?
Generally my clients are thinkers, often introverts, (not necessarily shy), quite laid back people who are planning a wedding day which doesn't necessarily follow tradition - something that they will enjoy, and that describes them as a couple.
​
They often say, "We just want someone to capture the moments", or "We really don't like having our photos taken".
​
In my portfolio you might see some seemingly posed shots - often these moments arise naturally, and I'm there to capture them. I never force people to pose, and I always make sure I get to know what you feel comfortable with before the day of the wedding.

A RELAXED OTTER IS A HAPPY OTTER
You'll never capture the true fun-loving nature of an otter by putting them in the spotlight and asking them to pose.
​
An otter ain't a dog.
​
A dog will spin and pose for anyone with a biscuit - that's just not an otter's style.
​
I know otters - I am one... that's why I made a career out of hiding behind my camera!
