I'm so excited you're here! I've been a full time Sioux City and Omaha wedding photographer for 10 years, mostly because I'm obsessed with wedding cake (not really, but it's definitely a nice perk!) I currently live in Onawa, Iowa just an hour north of Omaha, with my husband, Derek, our son, JJ, and our little pup, Nala.
I love where I live, because Sioux Falls, Sioux City, Omaha, and Lincoln are all within reach! No matter where you're planning your day, I can make your photography dreams come true!
To put it simply, I photograph couples who want a guided experience without looking overly stiff or posed. I like to say I make posed look candid! I work together with my couples to make them look fantastic, even if they're nervous about being in front of the camera! You'll leave feeling so confident and in love with your photos!
The boat was actually Plan C, the church was Plan B, and Plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her.
We had such a great experience working with Emily and loved our engagement and wedding photos. She is truly a talented photographer and knows how to capture amazing moment in the most perfect locations. Emily spent our entire wedding day with us and worked hard to capture every meaningful moment and more!
During our wedding planning process, she provided us with timelines for the wedding and helped create the perfect one that fit with our day. Emily did unexpected extras from start to finish that showed her talent and professionalism. We highly recommend using Emily to capture your memories.

Emily was a joy every step of the way! My family and friends talked about how easy she was to work with and how comfortable she made them feel. We got our final photos within a week. She communicated well the entire time and was very organized and helpful.

My husband and I couldn’t have choose a better photographer for our wedding than Emily. We knew from the moment we met her that she’d be professional, yet knew how to make you laugh and enjoy the whole process. She took the time to get to know us so she’d know what we wanted for our photos. Emily also took our engagement photos and she listened to all our crazy requests of including our horses and dogs. Overall, Emily went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t have been happier!

I could not have asked for a better photographer! Emily does such a great job with everything. From capturing the perfect moments, to organizing group pictures, she manages to do it all with ease. My family could not stop talking about how great of a job she does. We were all so comfortable with her that we sometimes forgot she was our photographer and not one of our friends! She not only kept us on schedule for the day, but made sure we got all of the pictures that we wanted. It was so nice to not have to worry about moments that could be missed on our big day. Our photos also turned out amazing. We couldn't have asked for more!
