your golden-hour hype girl with a camera.
Think of me as your fun, slightly alt, former-emo-kid big sis who just happens to be really good at freezing time. I’m here to capture your wedding day in all its unfiltered glory — the belly laughs, the happy tears, the messy dance moves, and those “holy sh!t, we’re actually married” looks you give each other.
I’m not about stiff poses or fake smiles. My style is golden, glowy, and real, like the best version of your memories, bottled up so you can relive them forever. I’ll be your chameleon: blending in like a candid-photo ninja one second, then wrangling your wildest friends for a group shot the next.
Bottom line? I’m here to make sure you have the time of your life and walk away with a gallery that feels exactly like you. Because at the end of the day, these moments aren’t just for Instagram — they’re your legacy.

There’s so much more to photography than the click of a button. I’ve spent years working hard on my craft, investing in gear, education, and perfecting a style i find authentic to me (sorry, it isn't debatable when editing your photos). Your investment reflects the value of the skills I’ve acquired and the services I provide. I go the extra mile diving deep into your story making sure we capture your unique legacy. Exactly as you remember it.
From the attention to detail with organizing and planning the session to making it totally pain free and easy during the shoot. She really finds little things to make the entire experience above the rest and it shows.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Emily a couple of times, and I cannot say enough good things about her! She is such a genuine person on top of her absolute killer photography and editing skills. Not only did every shot turn out exactly what I wanted and so gorgeous, we had the best time working with her! She is so easy going and makes the entire experience feel very relaxed and comfortable.
I cannot recommend Emily more with my whole being. I found her through someone else I follow and started with a little family shoot on the beach and have never looked back. She does our holiday pictures, she did my engagement and wedding and I’m sure one day she will do my maternity pictures as well. Not only does she take the most beautiful pictures, but you can see her work and heart in them. She has gone from photographer to friend and I send everyone who mentions pictures her way. You will not regret putting your lifelong memories in her hands
Emily was a breeze to work with. She offered amazing location options, and communication! We are extremely happy with our pics and can’t wait to hire her again!
Absolutely fun! Communicated great so I knew what to expect and where to go. We have no clue how to pose and Emily was great at getting us to organically pose in front of the camera

I grew up road-tripping through the red rocks of Utah, spontaneous swims in the runoff rivers of Yosemite, hiking the grand canyon (ask me about having to sleep in a bathtub) + fishing and rock hounding with my favorite uncles. My adventurous youth shaped me into an adult with a never-ending wanderlust. So yes- I’d love to capture your destination wedding, no matter where it is!
