I customize every wedding collection to fit each couple. Intimate weddings typically average around $8k, while full weekend coverage with Super 8 film and other add-ons averages closer to $10k+.
Every collection includes 35mm and medium format film, timeline planning, a curated gallery, and a second photographer, with the option to add additional coverage. Most couples book between 6–12 hours of photography, depending on their plans.

I believe lasting images come from letting life lead, which is why I create space for real life and spontaneous moments to happen naturally.
The Experience & Emotional Journey
From the very beginning, I take time to understand what matters most to you. The people, details, and emotions that define your story. Together, we design an experience with intention, from creative direction and mood boards to thoughtful planning that allows everything to unfold with ease. The process is rooted in what you value most: presence, connection, and meaning.
When the day arrives, everything flows effortlessly, leaving you free to simply be. I move quietly but with intention, attuned to the rhythm of your day based off what we've discussed while planning.
The laughter that fills a room, the way hands reach for one another, the soft pauses between joy and calm (and sometimes nerves). When it’s all over, you’ll have images that don’t just show what it looked like, but what it felt like to be there. My photography is grounded in documenting love, belonging, and the beauty of now.
More than photographs
a seamless experience.
HOW BOOKING WORKS
It begins with a simple connection. You share a bit about your story, what you’re dreaming up, what matters most, and how you want to feel when you look back on these moments.
STEP ONE: Inquire
From there, we hop on a call to dive deeper into your vision. We talk through the heart of your day or session—your priorities, your budget, and the atmosphere you want to create. This is where we start designing your experience together.
STEP TWO: Connect
Once everything feels aligned, we make it official. Through mood boards, creative direction, and timeline guidance, we shape every detail around what you value most. The goal is to create space for ease and presence. I’ll handle the behind-the-scenes coordination so you can rest, knowing your story is in thoughtful hands. All that’s left is to step fully into the moment when it comes.
STEP THREE: Book

How would you describe your photography style?
I document your stories with an artful documentary approach, blending genuine moments with editorial, timeless imagery. My goal is to create photographs that feel elevated, while remaining true to you. I photograph with a blend of unobtrusive, fly-on-the-wall energy and thoughtful direction, allowing your story to unfold naturally while bringing your vision for dream images to life. I also leave space for your own creativity, so the photographs reflect not just my perspective, but yours as well. I'm here to capture moments that carry meaning, emotion, and memories you’ll cherish forever.

A few quick answers to questions I’m often asked — from bookings to travel to creative direction.
FAQ
Emily was talked about by all our guests on how comforting a presence she was and how there but not there she was.
Anna + Ben
Emily was talked about by all our guests on how comforting a presence she was and how there but not there she was. She killed it. I can't thank her enough. After getting our full gallery back I don't quite have the words yet!
Emily is phenomenal to work with! She is personable, attentive, responsive and did an amazing job capturing our engagement and wedding photos. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her.

I would work with her again in a heartbeat!
Holy. Moly.
When I say Emily was the photographer of my dreams, I truly mean that.
Kyra + Matthew
There was never a second where I doubted her ability to capture our love in a way that felt true to us. Not only did she ask what we were looking for, she also asked about US.
The day of our wedding, I was a nervous wreck. The MOMENT Emily arrived, it was like a breath of fresh air. All smiles, excited to be there, and soooo laidback. Most the time, I hardly knew she was there. It was very important to me that she captured the candid moments, the little things I would miss on such a busy day. And O. M. G. did she deliver. The hugs, the tears, the absolutely horrendous dance moves. (She even danced with us!) Getting our gallery back, I saw more of my wedding than I had on the actual day!
