Emma Paling McGough is a professional freelance photographer based in the North East of England, specialising in creative, high‑quality imagery for events, products, and personal commissions. With over 14 years’ experience, Emma provides a reliable and adaptable service for weddings, e‑commerce, corporate events, family portraits and more.

Her early work was recognised through awards including multiple Foodelia selections (2018–2019), the Anjool Malde Photography Award (2017), and exhibitions in London, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Today, Emma focuses on delivering contemporary, client‑led photography that captures genuine moments and strong visual storytelling.

Emma offers a range of wedding photography packages, with options designed to suit different timelines and budgets. A full price guide is available on request, and she’s always happy to talk through what each package includes so couples can find the right fit for their day.

For all other photography—such as product shoots, events, portraits or bespoke commissions—Emma provides individual quotes based on the details of the job, including the scope, location, duration and any specific creative requirements. This ensures every client receives a clear, tailored price that reflects their project.
