Contact Emma Stoner

Hi there, I'm Emma - A wedding photographer based in Devon, UK. I would love to tell the story of your wedding day. If you like my pictures you probably enjoy festivals, camping out under the stars, beaches, travelling and the adventure of life. Maybe you’re planning to do something a bit different for your wedding and you want a photographer with a unique approach. I’m very informal, which is great for couples who feel a bit nervous about having their picture taken. I like to blend in and be your friend for the day.

I’ve had a passion for photography since I was a child and have worked in the industry for 15 years now. I take inspiration from classic documentary photographers and live for the story. As a Devon wedding photographer, I like to think that my pictures are also infused with my love for nature and the wild, rugged landscapes of the South West. I used to work as a picture editor for Greenpeace and my business has an eco-friendly ethos.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I am located in Totnes in Devon, UK. For weddings outside Devon I charge 50% of the full travel fee.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I have been shooting weddings since 2011. I've photographed over 200 weddings since then.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

I shoot in a documentary / reportage style, capturing all of those special moments along with the textures, colours, emotions and details which make up the story of each wedding day.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

I charge £2100 for a full days coverage, this includes an engagement shoot.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I don't have a studio so I mainly use zoom or skype to meet my wedding couples.

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

Distinction - MA Documentary Photography & Photojournalism (2021)
2/1 - BA Photographic Arts from the University of Westminster (2005)

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

My background is photojournalism so I approach each wedding as it's own unique story. I have photographed a diverse range of people and situations, from sheltered women escaping trafficking on the border of Nepal / India to the Queen celebrating her Jubilee at Epsom Derby. Photography is a real adventure and connecting with people is a key part of that journey. Many of my couples comment on how well I blend in with their friends and family on the day and I often feel like I am with old friends. My broad experience and friendly and informal approach is key to capturing the magic of the day!
