about me

Emma Marie Photography is a Portrait & Wedding Photography company based in Guisborough which was set up in February 2010 by myself Emma (Marie!)

I first took an interest in taking photos as a teenager, I’ve always liked to be creative, if I wasn’t taking photos I’d be writing poetry, or acting or singing at stage school. I won my first photography competition at the age of 12 when I joined secondary school.

My love of photography really took off in 2007 when I had my first daughter Hannah, I think that’s when I realised just how important photographs are as babies grow and change so quickly so being able to capture that and have nice photos to capture those memories and look back on is so important. So that’s when I started to study what to do with a camera other than simply ‘take a photo’. At the start I built everything up using my daughter as my willing model! I studied Photoshop at college as I soon realised that editing would be a big part of being a photographer and good editing skills can completely change a photograph.

It was in February 2010 I decided to take the step and became Emma Marie Photography – and I haven’t looked back since, I love what i do and the friends I have made on the way and feel very privileged to be able to have a job that I love.

I now have 3 daughters my youngest born in 2014 and love that I have been able to capture so many images of them growing up and love that I am able to do that for other people too, my eldest daughter Hannah is now 16 years old and very eager to follow in my footsteps and since April 2022 has been assisting me at weddings and second shooting at weddings and is well on her way to being a very talented wedding photographer in her own right!
