About

Your photos are more than just images; they’re a reflection of your unique story and spirit. I approach each project as a genuine collaboration, immersing myself in understanding who you are and capturing moments that resonate with your essence, beautifully and authentically. Drawing from a blend of photojournalistic, cinematic, editorial, and creative styles, I craft images that tell your story with depth and emotion. Our journey together yields timeless treasures, allowing you to revisit cherished memories decades from now. With gentle guidance and genuine rapport, I ensure you feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera, whether you’re embracing dynamic movement or savoring quiet moments of joy, and caputring all the in-between moments and micro stories on your wedding day. Together, we’ll create a tapestry of images that evoke the sensations and emotions of the moment—whether it’s the warmth of the sun on your skin, the feel of your family members group hug on your wedding day, tang of salty sea air, or the fragrance of your wedding day blooms. I am humbled to say that I have been featured in publications including Vanity Fair, British Vogue, Tatler, Glamour, The Lane, Hawaii Wedding Style, The Wed, and more.

Emily was beyond pleasant to work with, from the moment we booked till after all the photos were delivered! You can tell that she cares deeply for her craft and equally as much about the couples she works with. She made a deliberate effort to get to know us and what we envisioned for our wedding from the get-go. Her personality is professional without feeling impersonal – on the day of the wedding she made everyone feel so at ease and comfortable while still keeping us on a schedule to get all the shots in. The final product blew us away, she absolutely exceeded expectations! She was able to capture the essence of the day so well, and delivered SO many photos. She also was able to deliver all the photos so quickly – well ahead of the schedule she had set. The range of photos, from digital to film are remarkable, and our families are still having trouble picking our favorites to get printed because they're all just THAT GOOD! I recommend Emily to anyone without question.

Emily has one of the most unique perspectives when it comes to photography. The moment we came across her work on Instagram, we were immediately drawn to the moments and emotions that were captured. Prior to finding Emily, we’ve never been professionally photographed before, so thinking of how to pose without looking awkward and the location to hold our session were our primary concerns. We are so fortunate to work with Emily who kept the process easygoing and stress-free. Emily was able to secure one of the best location for our special day and it was surely an experience we will cherish for a lifetime. It’s evident she takes pride in building connections while working with her clients and ultimately we all had a good time on our elopement day. She is truly talented in capturing candid moments through a creative eye you can’t compare. The photos exceeded our expectations, we knew they would turn out good but to be able to relive a moment is priceless.

When a friend of mine sent me Emily's Instagram I knew instantly I wanted her as our wedding photographer. She was the first and best vendor we chose for our wedding, hands down. She is not only the warmest person alive, but also unbelievably talented. She captured our day in the most perfect way and supported us at each stage of planning with love and enthusiasm. When it came to the day of our wedding, her presence (+ her team!) was both a calming and comforting one. She guided us through the various shots with ease and snagged the best candids using a mix of digital and film. We've loved reliving the day over and over again. She also has an amazing vendor that helps you customize and curate your wedding album, which has been so helpful. We cannot wait to see the finished product. TLDR; Emily is an incredibly talented photographer and human. You will not regret working with her.
