hi there, im Em
Your sunshine-chasing bestie behind the lens!
I’m a San Diego wedding photographer capturing golden, glowy, and genuine love stories all across Southern California and beyond. Whether you’re eloping under the redwoods or running barefoot along the coast, I’m here to capture your love in its most real, radiant, and soulful form.
I’m not just your photographer, I’m your third wheel, chaos coordinator, and golden hour hype girl! My photography style feels like sunlight warm, vibrant, and full of emotion. Every gallery is crafted to feel like your memories bottled up and glowing forever. Forget stiff poses and fake smiles. I’m here for the messy, magical, in-between moments. the ones that make your love story completely yours.
From intimate California elopements to full wedding celebrations in San Diego, every photo I take is meant to feel honest, emotional, and timeless. Because your story deserves more than staged photos! it deserves to be felt, every single time you look back.
These aren’t just photos for Instagram, they’re your forever moments, your legacy, and your love story captured in golden light.

Love stories I’ve documented
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

To be able to travel the world and capture love is one of the most amazing parts of my job – I still pinch myself whenever I get the opportunity.
If the thought of an adventurous wedding or elopement has crossed your mind, I am here to help you make that happen for less!
Have a peek at the places below- if you're planning to get married or elope in any of these locations i will photograph the full day for free with paid travel!
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!
Whether it’s hopping on a plane to come and meet you at the base of your favorite mountain, or jumping in a car to explore somewhere that plays a crucial part of your story, I love a new adventure. If you’d like to scheme an adventure closer to me, I’ll make the trip for free within 50 miles. If i'm adventuring beyond that, we can chat more about: Lodging, Flights, Rental car if needed + gas
rates start at:
+$500 for domestic travel (weddings more than 200miles from San diego)
+$1,500 for international travel (weddings outside the u.s)
