Heirloom wedding photography
for couples in love
hello there!
Welcome and congratulations - I'm so excited you're here! If you're a lover of memories, storytelling and mementos, then you're in the right place.
Deep sentimentality, a belief in the beauty of marriage and an appreciation for the details that make your day unique have fueled the dedication and artistry behind my work for more than a decade. I love being able to photograph the first moments of a couple’s marriage. The family love, the surreal joy and the little details that make your wedding one-of-a-kind are only a few of the reasons I love what I do.
I consider it a tremendous gift to do what I love for a living and an even greater privilege that you would consider me for your wedding photographer. I hope to serve you by not only giving you beautiful pictures, but also providing a wonderful photography experience along the way. I’m excited to get to know you and hear more about your story!

When I began my business in 2011, I had no idea the journey it would take me on - the lovely people I'd see in front of my camera and the wonderful places I'd go along the way. Deep sentimentality, a belief in the beauty of marriage and an appreciation for the details that make your day unique have fueled the dedication and artistry behind my work for more than a decade. Golden light and a couple in a cozy pose have literally made me prance - and I'm not ashamed of it! I love being able to photograph the first moments of a couple’s marriage. The family love, the surreal joy and the little details that make your wedding one-of-a-kind are only a few of the reasons I love what I do.

"Emily - oh my gosh, I don't even know if words can describe my feelings for these photos. And to think we were nervous about being in front of the camera. The locations, lighting, and the way you snapped them at just the right moment stirs all the emotions as I browse through each one. I look forward to these photos being passed down to future generations as we will remember the beautiful moments that filled us during that season of life. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Every time we revisit our photographs, we feel the same excitement and emotions we first felt during that wonderful evening."
Savannah & Marcus
I see your wedding day as the first day of your marriage. Pretty simple, right? But truly, marriage is the heartbeat behind every image I take. I strive to give you pictures that remind you of your vows and the day you committed to love each other unconditionally for the rest of your lives. I view your wedding pictures as your first heirloom - something to be both treasured and enjoyed.
It’s something I’m so passionate about and that gives me so much joy! From the moment you get that beautiful gown on to when you have your big exit, I want to document each sweet moment so you have them to look back on for generations to come.
I thrive in natural light settings and approach weddings with a thoughtful, artistic eye. I aim to create images that are timeless, rich in feeling and simply beautiful. I adore details that help tell your story and almost always leave a wedding obsessed with the bride’s bouquet.
My medium of choice is film, however I shoot digital throughout the day as well. I love giving soft and light images to my couples and hope that my images capture the romantic and the real parts of a wedding day. I truly believe that my role in this season of your relationship and love is an incredible privilege.
"Emily was such a joy to work with from start to finish. She exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond to make this season of life so enjoyable. We will truly treasure the moments she captured so beautifully in her photos. We look forward to Emily capturing even more of life's special moments in the years to come."

frequently asked questions
Who is the additional photographer/second shooter?
A second shooter is another professional photographer I hire to assist me in capturing your day. They help provide more comprehensive coverage by getting second angles and shooting details and moments when I can’t be in two places at once. They also act as an assistant on site to help with rolling film, carrying my things and generally helping me throughout the day. Second shooters are always included since I think they are so important!
Should we do an engagement session?
I can’t recommend engagement sessions enough! They give us time to get to know each other, familiarize you with how I work and help you cherish a sweet and fleeting season in your relationship.
Can you recommend other wedding vendors?
I’d be happy to provide you with a list of pros that are highly talented, wonderful people to work with! Just let me know which vendors you would like recommendations for.
What is your turnaround time?
For weddings, generally 6 to 8 weeks. Sometimes I can get your pictures to you sooner (it’s always my goal!), but during busy season, it can be up to 8 weeks. For engagement and bridal sessions, I deliver in about 3 to 4 weeks, depending on my lab’s turnaround time.
What equipment do you use?
For film, I shoot with a Contax 645 and Canon 1V and have all my film developed and scanned by PhotoVision. My digital gear is pro-level Canon, and I use mainly prime lenses because I love shooting with a wide aperture.
How many pictures will I get?
I generally provide around 65 - 75 images per hour of shooting, but this varies based on the size of the wedding, number of details, family pictures requested, etc. I often deliver more because I end up loving so many of the pictures and can’t keep them to myself!

She is so personable, genuine, and passionate about what she does… All of the photos we’ve gotten back (engagement, bridal portraits, wedding day) are simply STUNNING. There is literally not one bad photo in the whole bunch. If you’re searching for a wedding photographer that is not just a photographer, but a friend and mentor, look no further.
