Hi, I’m Emily

I’ll be the first to say I never thought I’d be here doing this. But that’s what’s so beautiful about this wild and wonderful thing called life.

Growing up, my Dad said I was always the observant one. Staring out the window on road trips from one national park to the next, feeling deeply for those around me, and holding onto big emotions.

I set out to study astrophysics in school and my fondness for photography grew as an extracurricular, but it wasn’t until I shot my first wedding that I knew where my calling lay. It quickly became my medium. A canvas where I could observe, understand and hold those big whole-feeling moments. It complemented the person I have been all this time.

Although it was nearly a decade ago since that moment in time, I remember it so vividly today. This overwhelming feeling of love filled the space. The couple’s closest were in every direction; this beautiful example of commitment was palpable, and an indescribable, intoxicating energy filled every corner of the parent’s home, where everything took place.

Here for you, always,

A Note About My Style

I welcome each and every session with an open mind and heart. For me, light, settings, and energy each play an integral part in my work. When I’m at a wedding or in a photo session, I’m most drawn to the imperfections, the realness of each moment, and preserving those as best as I can through my imagery so you, too, can return to that memory long after it’s passed.

With every couple I work with, I capture your love just as it is. Whether that’s the close embrace amongst unexpected rainfall, the uninhibited laughter of the cake falling off the plate, or grandma stealing the groom for a heartfelt dance—I believe there is a story worth capturing in every moment.

Capturing your legacy, story, and loving connection through documentary-style imagery.

All the Love

    “Emily is such an incredible, genuine and joy filled human and photographer. I knew from the moment I saw her work I had to hire her to take our photos. My husband and I have done two photo sessions with her and they are some of our favorite photos of us ever taken. She captures who you are as people with such ease and grace! We will forever cherish the moments she has documented of us for the rest of our days. No words can describe how much we love Emily and her beautiful soul!”

  • Jaclyn + Tyson

    “Emily’s demeanor puts everyone at ease, she's incredibly professional and seriously fun! Emily couldn't have been more caring and easy to work with throughout the wedding process. We had an intimate wedding with just a few family members and Emily fit perfectly with the setting. Her style and creative eye is far above any other photographers I've experienced and our pictures turned out beautifully. Emily made the experience and memory of our wedding so special.”

  • Brittney + Jon

    “I would choose Emily over and over again! Hiring Emily was one of the best decisions I made planning my wedding! She is so friendly, warm and makes you feel so comfortable in front of a camera. She was organized, quick and it honestly felt like I had one of my friends next to me snapping photos of my big day! When my photos arrived after the wedding, I was amazed by how beautifully she captured each moment. From the big moments of the first look, to the mini details of our table arrangement, she captured them all. If you are on the fence on who you want to use as your photographer, you will not regret hiring this woman! She is perfect!”

  • Jenessa + Andrew

    “Emily is the absolute best! The second we met her, it was as if we had been friends for years. She has such a warm and caring heart and is a doll to be around. She is easy to work with and makes awkward poses and situations fun and natural. When it came to the actual wedding day, she was extremely organized and knew how to handle all the personalities coming at her. The sheer fact that she was able to wrangle our groomsmen in a timely manner blew our mind. Most importantly she captured all the real raw moments that you want and need from your wedding day. It went by so fast, so having those pictures is priceless. Emily caught everything in such a beautiful way and for that, and for her, we will always be grateful.”

  • Ida + Peter

    “On the day Emily made us so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, allowing us to be natural and ourselves. Emily's artistic approach to the wedding brought the entire weekend together. Taking photos with Peter and allowing that time to spend with him was one of my favorite memories from the day. There is nothing better than almost a year later now going through the images and always seeing something new, my favorite moments are always changing thanks to the variety of pictures on the day. Very highly recommended!!!”

  • Dana + Dustin

    “Emily was everything and more than I could have ever wanted for a wedding photographer. After viewing her blog and Instagram I instantly was drawn to her vision and style. Once we spoke, her positive and passionate personality sealed the deal! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable at our engagement shoot and had us laughing the whole time. On the day of our wedding she was such a calming and caring force throughout the whole day. To look back at our wedding photos is to look back at all the raw, real, magical, and blissful moments of the day we became husband and wife. I will forever be thankful to emily for giving us the greatest wedding gift...the gift of reliving our beautiful day through her timeless art.”

  • Rachel + Ryan

    “One swoop through her portfolio had me calling my fiance and saying, HER, she's the one. Finding someone who will capture and make this a day we can tangibly relieve via photos is hard unless you were lucky enough to find Emily like we were. The phone call we had, the engagement session and ultimately the day of our wedding were the most positive echoes of our choice to have Emily shoot our dream day. She captured the most important day of my life with positivity, charm, wit and love. Not to mention seemingly limitless talent, and desire to add calm and joy to the day were not unnoticed. Everyone she interacts with can feel her positivity. My photos are perfect, my experience with her unrelieved, she's a dream.”

  • Ashley + Mike

    “Emily is INCREDIBLE - from the first phone call through delivery of photos, she is there for you not just as a photographer, but a friend. She became an integral part of our wedding without distracting or bothering, but rather adding the perfect layer of fun and calm, keeping everyone's nerves at bay, helping making things perfect, and most importantly capturing the VERY ESSENCE of the wedding!! Her skills and photographs speak for themselves. She is truly an artist and we could not be happier that we went with Em!”

  • Micah + Julie

    “The most challenging part of our experience was having to choose a favorite photo from the shoot because we loved all of them! I'm completely blown away by the images Emily was able to capture of the two of us! She is truly blessed with an eye for capturing intimacy and authenticity. Not just that, but she had this ability to immediately and truly connect with Micah and I, making us feel comfortable, creating a fun, warm and exciting experience. I admit I was a little nervous that photographing our awkward selves would be a challenge for her, but she made it a cake-walk.I don’t know what I would have done without her!”
