Bristol photographer

for places people fall in love with
for the moment the room comes alive
Hey, we’re team Emerald
Hi, we’re Eszter and George. Getting married, growing your family, opening a restaurant or throwing the party of the year? Whatever you’re celebrating, we’d love to be there for it.
I’m a Bristol photographer, behind the camera since 2012, and George isn’t just my fiancé, he’s my right-hand man on every shoot. Together we cover weddings, couples, families, brands, food and events around Bristol, and we’re here for the real stuff: the happy tears, the toddler meltdowns, the chef’s proud little grin, your nan stealing the dancefloor.
Not a fan of the camera? Honestly, neither are we. So we keep it relaxed, crack a few jokes and let you get on with enjoying yourself. The photos take care of themselves.
Fun facts
Things you should know before you book
the honest bits
01
Huge coffee lover
Rule number one of working with me: there’s a vanilla latte in my hand before 9 am. Nobody gets hurt, everybody’s happy!
02
8 years together
Same tiny Hungarian village. Same primary school. Then, years later, same city: Bristol. At this point, we can basically call it fate.
03
Dancing is my peace
Fair warning: I danced for 12 years. If your DJ drops any 2000s hip-hop, you might get a few photos and one VERY enthusiastic photographer on the dance floor.
04
Two forever rebels
We break the boring rules, never the important ones. And because I overthink everything literally, your timeline gets checked about 47 times. You’re welcome!
05
Cat people, both of us
Finally, something we agree on. Four cats, currently living their best life with my mum and dad in Hungary. My parents definitely did not sign up for this.
06
Romcom binge-watcher
Me: romcoms, all day, every day. George: more horror, sci-fi. Movie night is a negotiation.
Right, you know way too much about us now. Your turn!
Kind words
Don’t take our word
take theirs
Eszter photographed our wedding, and honestly, she was a dream to work with. From our first message to the final gallery, everything felt easy and thoughtful.
Robin S.
We both felt slightly nervous about being in a photoshoot, but Eszter made everything feel effortless and fun.
Tom B.
Her creativity is truly next level. She’s a magician with her camera – the way she plays with light, angles, and scenery is just stunning. When we saw the final photos, we were honestly blown away.
Chaitali & Omkar
The photos are so full of emotion, I can’t stop going through them. It’s like I’m back in that moment every time I look at them.
Vince & Balázs’s family
Her patience, always good mood, smile and ability to bring out the best in people is a rare gift.
Nelli E.
The shots are so vibrant and full of life, it feels like you can taste the dishes just by looking at them.

How it works
Easy, we promise
from hello to happy tears
Four steps, zero stress, anywhere in Bristol, Bath and the South West. You bring the people, we bring the camera (and the jokes).
Say hello
Tell us whatever you know so far. A date, a place, a half-formed idea. It doesn’t need to be figured out. We’ll reply within 2 days.
Have a chat
A relaxed call about what you’re planning and who’ll be there. No sales pitch. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you.
Just be you
We sort the light, the timings and the awkward bits. You hang out with your people, and George and I take care of the rest.
Relive it
Sneak peeks first, then your full gallery, ready to keep, share and print. Tissues recommended.
As seen in & trusted by
Still wondering?
What do we actually get?
More than a folder of files. Every photo is hand-edited by us, one by one, so the colours and the mood feel like your day did. And because the best photos deserve more than a phone screen, we also make prints and albums: the kind your kids will pull off the shelf in 20 years and ask, “Is that you?” Each service page shows exactly what’s in your package: weddings, family, newborn, couples, brand, food and events.
We’re awkward in front of the camera. Help!
Honestly, most people are, and so are we! We won’t line you up and shout “cheese”. We chat, we walk, we give you little things to do and catch the real bits in between. Within 10 minutes most people forget we’re even there. Basically, you get on with your day and we do the rest.
Where do you shoot?
Wherever your story lives: your home, your favourite walk, your venue, your restaurant kitchen, or our small studio in Bristol. We work all over Bristol, the UK and Europe, and we’re often in Budapest too. Around Bristol we love Clifton (the Suspension Bridge, the Observatory and the Village), Ashton Court, Leigh Woods, Blaise Castle, Snuff Mills and Arnos Vale. We’re just as happy heading to Bath, Somerset, the Cotswolds or South Wales. Travel is included in most of our prices, and if you’re further afield we’ll tell you upfront, so there are no surprises.
How far ahead should we book?
Sooner than you think, because the days that matter don’t move. Weddings: 12 to 18 months, longer for summer Saturdays. Newborn: tell us in your second trimester, and we’ll photograph your baby in their first 5 to 14 days, while they’re still sleepy and curled up. Family and couples: 4 to 6 weeks, earlier for autumn and Christmas. Brand and food: 2 to 4 weeks. Events: as soon as you have a date. Last minute? Ask anyway, sometimes we have a gap.
How quickly will we get our photos?
Events: the next day for a sneak peek, 1 to 2 weeks for everything. Family, couples, brand and food: a few within 48 hours. The full set follows in 2 to 3 weeks for family and couples, about 3 weeks for newborn, and 7 to 10 working days for brand and food. Weddings take a little longer, because there’s a whole day to tell: sneak peeks within a week, everything in 6 to 8 weeks.
What if it rains, or we need to move the date?
A bit of rain can make gorgeous photos (hello, umbrellas and steamy windows!), so drizzle won’t stop us. If the forecast is properly grim, we’ll decide together the day before and pick a new date, free of charge. Need to move for any other reason? No problem, give us 48 hours’ notice and you can move it once for free. For weddings and events, we’ll happily move your booking to a new date if we’re still free.
Can we use the photos on our website and socials?
Yes, that’s the whole point. Brand and food shoots include commercial usage, so your photos can work as hard as you do: website, socials, menus, delivery apps, adverts and the press. Your customers get to meet the real you before they’ve even walked through the door. Family and couples photos are yours to share, print and frame wherever you like.
