Don't worry -- all of my couples are real people and the vast majority of my couples are not models with experience in front of a camera either.
Here's some insight in how authentic photos are created for each of my couples:
- the hours of research, planning help, and intentional experience I do for you
- my expertise day-of, so you have nothing to worry about
- the relationship we gain throughout our time working together
On the day-of, I'll remind you to relax, stay present, and focus on each other and your love.

Emily’s photography portfolio and aesthetic captured my attention, I just knew that my husband and I had to work with her. She captured our love, laughter, and happiness so beautifully. She made us feel comfortable and the session felt effortless, which I was worried about since we’ve never had professional photos taken before. She’s magical, please please work with her! You won’t be disappointed

"Emily helped make my wedding day stress-free"
Emily was the perfect addition to our wedding day. She met with us a few times before our wedding to figure out what we wanted, and made sure all of our important shots were covered. She was so kind and pleasant to talk to. She helped make my wedding day stress-free because I was confident in her work. And I was right to be - I am IN LOVE with our wedding gallery. 10/10 recommend!!

"When you hire Emily, you are getting a down to earth and genuine person who happens to also be an incredibly talented photographer"
I'm not even sure where to begin! Leading up to our engagement shoot, my husband and I were both anxious expecting to feel uncomfortable and out of place in front of a professional camera lens for the first time. After meeting Emily, that awkwardness lasted about 2 minutes flat, and soon found ourselves not only feeling comfortable, but truly having a blast with it. While shooting at our second engagement location, it truly felt as if we were just there to explore and that Emily was our childhood friend who happened to just have a camera with her taking photos and not at all that we had just met her earlier that morning.
Before even seeing a single photo from our engagement shoot, we were already discussing flying her out to NY to shoot our wedding. Working with Emily to plan our photography portion of the wedding was truly the easiest part of the entire wedding planning process for us. She was extremely helpful and organized, asking questions, giving suggestions and creating a detailed timeline based on what was important to us, but what stood out the most was that she was genuinely passionate about making the day as enjoyable for us as possible. She showed us this by going above and beyond in ways such as offering help and resources completely unrelated to photography, doing her own research, creating polls on her social media platforms to help answer our questions, reaching out to her own personal contacts, sending helpful questionnaires, answering late night texts and emails and beyond. Our calls with her always put me at ease during such a hectic time and turned my anxiety into excitement.
Leading up to our wedding, Emily continued to often reach out just to simply check on us and see if she could offer a helping hand (beyond the million ways she already had) which stood out immensely to us.
The day of our wedding, having Emily with us was truly like having a lifelong friend there to get ready together. Something so special about her is the way she has mastered the balance between bringing a presence of excitement and a sense of calming to the day. She is able to get the photos necessary without an overbearing energy which many of our friends and family observed as well, mentioning how they wish their own wedding photographers were more like her. We received much praise from our families and friends but also our other vendors as well, for how well she worked with them and how kind and easy it was to spend the day with her. She was not just our photographer, she was a pillar of our day.
When you hire Emily, you are really hiring a passionate, down to earth, genuine and professional person who happens to also be an incredibly talented photographer. Sharing two of the most special moments of our lives so far with Emily has been such a blessing. We are so excited to continue to hire Emily for all of our next chapters in life. She has become a dear friend of ours and love any reason to work with her we can get! You will not regret hiring her!
