Starting her first wedding photography business in 2010, Emma Joanne has shot hundreds of weddings & worked with all types of client from the traditional to the queer, the weird to the wonderful & the laid back couples to those Bride/Groom-zilla's!

However since the advent of same sex marriage in 2014, Emma decided to follow her heart & re-brand as the alternative / same sex brand - Shotgun Weddings, in order to specialise in this exciting niche.

Hailing from Brighton, UK (dubbed the Gay capital of Europe) means that same sex / alternative weddings are in abundance, as many couples prefer to marry in a carefree, forward thinking, liberal city, without the likelihood they will stand out or face ridicule on their special day.

Regarded as an expert in this profitable area of weddings, Emma now shoots over 70% same sex / alternative weddings & enjoys nothing more than imparting her knowledge as an experineced educator to other photographers, taking their first steps into potentially unchartered wedding territory.
