Emma Pilkington Fine Art Photography - Bridal Musings

Flourish & Fragile

September 15, 2016

Editorial, Portrait

I am so excited to be able to share this editorial for Bridal Musings that I shot way back in April at Fulham Palace.

This editorial collaboration was shot with the most amazing team. I finally had the opportunity to work with The Wedding Stylist who was an absolute dream to work with. Sundari sourced the perfect blend of suppliers for this shoot, who all added such unique details to the day.

The inspiration behind this shoot came from the beautiful venue setting and all of the talent working on two words to direct their creativity; flourish & fragile. From the floral design, make-up & hair right down to the beautiful paperie, each designer worked from these two basic concepts and the gorgeous Fulham Palace setting to build something simple, elegant and timeless as well as connect the design of the wedding to it’s surroundings and emphasise the beauty of the venue.

simple, elegant & timeless

WHY we're the perfect match

WE ARE SOULMATES

I photograph weddings for couples who prefer a relaxed yet beautiful style of wedding photography. My unobtrusive style enables me to capture the special moments & genuine emotions of the day. I pair these documentary style images with beautifully styled fine art fashion portraits & detail shots, to create a series of images that tell your unique wedding story in those most elegant way that I can. I enjoy working with natural light as much as possible, so that the images of your special day look exactly how you remember them.

My fine art approach, and use of soft natural light and a warm pastel colour palette, allows me to create fresh and luminous photography.

I focus on the intimate and sincere moments of your wedding, creating images that tell an honest and genuine story that will last forever. I will not just document the ceremony and the formalities, but those extra little moments which will give so much pleasure in years to come.

My style is for the romantics, the daydreamers & the lovers of the beauty of timeless simplicity.

"HER WORK IS STUNNING. SHE MAKES BEAUTIFUL USE OF NATURAL LIGHT."

"What can I say! Emma was just incredible throughout our day...she's captured moments we didn't even realise anyone had noticed.

Her work is stunning. She makes beautiful use of natural light and our whole album is so bright, airy and clean just how I wanted it. The end result is just the most perfect album which captured not just moments but actual emotions too.

From the bottom of our hearts - thank you so much Emma, I'm so glad we found you! xxx"

"Emma captured our wedding day perfectly! So many amazing shots to choose from, from our styled photos to our natural ones and all the little touches and scenery - they are incredible. Emma is so lovely and professional and she made us feel at ease even when we at our most nervous before the wedding. She even helped me in my final moments to make sure I was ready! She went above and beyond for us and all our guests have commented on how gorgeous the photos are. We can’t thank her enough"
