A: I first started photographing things in high school. In fact, my school literally made a class for me and I taught myself from a book. They called it an "independent study." From there, I was hooked! I studied photography in college and got my bachelor's degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in photography. I even had a dark room in my basement for a bit! All that to say, over 10 years!
A: I've photographed over 150 weddings as the lead photographer, and I've had over 400 portrait sessions. The majority of my weekends have been filled with weddings and other celebrations since the creation of my business over 8 years ago!
A: That's totally up to you! A lot of my couples like to use it as a chance to "practice" taking photos before their wedding. As I said above, it gives us a chance to work together before your wedding, which is fantastic! Not only that, but you can use them for your save-the-dates, invitations, guest book, and decor at your reception. Plus, who doesn't love more photos for facebook and instagram?
A: Yes! All my prints and canvases are for sale through your gallery after receiving your images. I want you to absolute LOVE what you're buying! Albums can be added in to your package or purchased after your wedding.
A:Your photos will come to you in an online gallery where you'll be able to download the high resolution images, purchase prints, and share with family and friends. It's super easy to use! If I haven't already sent you a gallery as an example, just ask! I'd love to show you what you can expect to get from your wedding day!
A: I only hire second shooters to work with me whom I would totally trust to photograph even my own wedding day! It depends on who's available, but it's usually chosen from a handful of people I've worked with before and know that I totally love. My second shooter is usually with us about 6 hours on your wedding day, but it kind of depends on what I think is best based on your timeline.
A: Love that question the most! To book me for your special day, simply let me know which collection you'd like and how may payments you plan on doing! I'll send over everything you need!
A: Let's set up a phone call! I would love to hear more about what you have planned for your wedding and answer any additional questions I'm sure you have about photography! Shoot me a message and we can set up a call!
I'm so excited to hear about all your plans! If you're looking for portraits or editing instead, feel free to fill out what applies to you below! I can't wait to get in touch with you!
While considering all your options for wedding photography, keep a few things in mind. First, I offer monthly payment plans and accept credit cards (you get those points!!) Your total cost is broken into monthly payments leading up to your wedding, almost like a subscription service! I've found that it's way easier for couples to book when they don't have to put down half their cost up front! Second, your photos are such an important piece of your day. There'll be a large photo of the two of you above your fireplace, an album on the coffee table, a photo of you on his desk at work or in his wallet. Of course you’ll enjoy every piece of your wedding, but it’s all gone within the week - maybe you’ll eat some stale cake on your first year anniversary (10/10 would not recommend). But in 30 years what will you, your children, your grandchildren have? Your photos!
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!
