About
Extraordinary imagery and a focus on celebration shouldn't be mutually exclusive! You deserve to be present on your wedding day and enjoy a curated collection of beautiful images to help you relive every moment. When you work with Emily, you can be in the moment with your favorite people gathered together. You get to have it all: refined, editorial-quality imagery; gentle guidance to feel at ease in front of the camera; and the peace of mind that your photographer has everything under control.
Photographs endure, and your experience creating them matters. The photography experience should feel effortless; Emily's approach is highly attuned to each couple’s priorities and preferences (and she only works with a small handful of clients each year), so your finished collection of images is the perfect reflection of your thoughtfully-curated festivities.
Based in Santa Barbara and serving all of California, as well as a limited number of destination commissions.

Gabrielle, bride
Working with Emily was one of the BEST decisions we made during our wedding planning process. We booked Emily for four different events and not only did she deliver the most beautiful images, we were lucky to have made a dear friend. Emily is such a fun, talented, professional, and all-around amazing person. I was following her work for some time but was validated when she was independently recommended to us by our planner (she’s THAT good!). It was important for us to vibe with our photographer since we’d be spending a lot of time with them, and after our initial consultation on the phone, we could already feel Emily’s warmth, excitement, and energy. Emily has a way of creating dreamy images and is a master of playing with light. Her photography style is timeless and the colors are true. She does a mix of natural poses, candids, and artistic shots, as well as the most stunning detailed shots. Emily never missed an important moment and knew how to capture the joy and emotion we felt.
Cassidy, bride
I do not have enough words to sing Emily's praises. We hired her for our wedding, which got delayed due to COVID. Through the years (literally) of planning and communication, Emily was always so kind, helpful, and positive. When we finally got to meet in person for our engagement photos, we had so much fun. She has the wonderful ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, coach you through the photos, and keep you laughing.
On our wedding day, Emily and her team were a welcome presence. They are very professional and worked wonderfully with our other vendors as well. Plus, they are FUN! Our photos from both our engagement and wedding are STUNNING. Every little detail was captured, with tons of wonderful photos of all our guests. Emily and her team are great at capturing timeless images, with a mix of current and editorial styles. We have received endless compliments on how beautiful our photos are, and I am so grateful to have such wonderful images from our wedding.
