Hey! I'm Emma
I'm an effervescent, glass-half-full, fun-loving, mildly crazy Romsey based photographer. My goal is to ensure you and your family leave your session with smiles on your dials and amazing memories to treasure – both those captured on film, and of the actual photoshoot experience.
I’m also a mum of 2 beautiful children, Aurora and Kody, and wife to my amazing partner in crime, Josh. I love nothing more than riding dirt bikes and Harleys and getting covered in mud with the kids! I’m also a coffee-addict, who can’t sit still and am always doing 1065 things at once.
My original ‘trade’ was teaching but a decade ago, I made the decision to pursue my true calling, photography…and have never looked back.
Aurora Joy Photography is named after my eldest child Aurora and my Nanna Joy. For the last 10 years I have continued to build AJP and my passion grows with every client that I photograph.
I sincerely remember every single mum, bub and backstory, and can't wait to capture your unique journey.
Here’s where you can delve further into your favourite things outside of wedding photography – everyone might be able to be a photographer, but there’s little quirks that make you unique – chat about that.
Maybe you can talk about your favourite hobbies, food, art or leisure activities. What you do to wind down when you’re not shooting – pets, your family, your hometown.
You can also use this opportunity to rehash your love for travelling – a great way for you to subtly remind them that you’re open to shooting destination weddings.
Remember to wrap up this section by tying it back into wedding photography. For example, “That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)”
Here’s where you can go on a deeper dive into what started your photography journey and why you love it so much – talk about your motivations and purpose, why every shoot is a new experience.
You can also write about your overall style and personality, what makes you different from all the other photographers they’ve researched. Don’t be shy!
Talk about how your photos will help them relive the day for years and generations to come.
Uncover your overall approach to the day and an overview of your process. Help them picture what it’s like to have you there on the day and why what you do is so important. Mention how you’ll help them ensure the day flows smoothly, because you’ve had loads of experience at other weddings.
For example, talk about how you’ll arrive at first light to capture the mother-of-the-bride and the bridal squad helping the bride get ready. Or the groomsmen sneaking a few drinks to calm their nerves.
Chat about how you’ll turn up after one too many coffees, buzzing with energy to capture one of the most important, memorable days in their lives, and that you won’t miss a moment.
Write about documenting the getting ready prep through to ceremony, reception and afterparty (if relevant). How you’ll be there in the centre of it all or as a wallflower behind the scenes, photographing moments and details that they might’ve missed (e.g. Aunty Doris getting drunk on the d-floor). Whether you stick to purely candid shots or will pose them for styled shots.
100% recommend Emma and her team! Absolutely amazing photos and phenomenal service!! Emma did my maternity photos and newborn shoot and I could not be more impressed with the photos.
She made me and my family feel so at ease in her studio and she was so patient with our newborn (who didn't want to sleep) and with our shy 6 year old daughter.
The photos we got from her are just incredible and will be cherished for a lifetime. Amazingly talented! Thank you so much Emma!!
