EXPERIENCE
The Wedding
FOR THE BRIDE WHO WANTS IMAGES THAT ARE BOTH CINEMATIC AND HEARTFELT
legacy
More than "just photos"
This is your
Your wedding is a doorway. What do I mean by that? It's not just an excuse for pretty details or a party with friends. It's the doorway to your marriage. The moment that two become one. A covenant, not a contract. The public celebration of a solemn vow. It's kind of a big deal!
That's why I take my job so very seriously. I am privileged to document your doorway. To give you stunning images... images that capture the romantic details, the joyful glances, and the epic party... but also to document the sanctity of your marriage. To tell through images the story that future generations will read.

These days, it feels like you have to pick one: Jaw-dropping cinematic portraits or honest documentation of the wedding day. My mission is to give you both. I want to catch the tear your mom sheds as you dance, the way your husband twists that new ring on his finger. But I also pose you clearly and confidently so you can have the romantic portraits you've been dreaming of.

I do not offer the traditional 6, 8, 10 hour wedding coverage packages. I only offer full-day or full-weekend coverage, and that is intentional. I want to tell your story well, and that means telling it in full. The result is a final gallery packed with both stunning portraits and in-between moments--and zero memories of being stressed about fitting everything into the photography timeline.

I get chills every time I think that the photo I am snapping or editing is an HEIRLOOM that will be passed down through generations! How crazy is that?! Your story deserves to be held, memorialized, and passed on with care. This is what fuels me to protect each image responsibly, and to edit each image with focus and intention.

My Grandma immigrated to America from Germany at the age of 10, and Grandpa from Holland--also at the age of 10. They met in college, and raised three children in a cute little cottage in Michigan. They lived an idyllic life across the street from their white country church.
My grandparents, 1970

A little Michigan farm girl grew up and moved off to Colorado for an internship. While there, she met an Air Force Academy Cadet who swept her off her feet for 22 years of service as a fighter pilot wife. Ultimately, they retired in sweet home Alabama with their six children.
My parents, 1997
next chapter
The eldest of those six children met a handsome engineer at church. Together, they are putting down roots in Alabama. This is US! We are loving life on our small homestead, enjoying good meals around the dinner table, and raising our family to know and love the Lord! We pray that we will "see our children's children" (Psalm 128).

Ever been confused by the 6, 8, and 10-hour wedding day packages most photographers offer? Honestly.... me too.
In my 5 years of wedding experience, I have found that to adequately capture the full story of a wedding day, I need at LEAST 8-10 hours. I do not want your gallery to be incomplete simply because I clock out at the end of our time agreement. I do not want to leave knowing I did not serve you the way you 100% deserve. Your legacy is worth documenting with excellence, start to finish.
So, I guarantee up to 10 hours of wedding day coverage in ALL my packages. Together, we will create the ideal timeline for your day, and it will be captured beautifully--and in full.
Full-day coverage.
always.

Emily is absolutely lovely and her photography is amazing! She helped us plan events so that the formal photos during our wedding day were seamlessly integrated. Emily is cheerful and fun to be around--she helped all of us relax before the ceremony and look natural for pictures. She is quite flexible and managed to get lovely portraits during some crazy winds on our wedding day! Emily also had the wonderful idea to snag my husband and I for some unplanned sunset pictures during the reception (which ended up being some of our favorites!). My husband and I were excited to receive her sneak peeks and amazed to see the whole portfolio! The photos are stunning. It is so fun to relive parts of our wedding day thanks to her talented detail shots and candids of our guests. Emily is a joy to work with and I'm so thankful that her beautiful work graces our home!

Working with Emily for our wedding was a joy! She was organized and calm throughout the entire process, which took so much stress off our shoulders. During the wedding, Emily gave just the right amount of direction when needed, but also knew when to stap back to let moments unfold naturally. She has the wonderful ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and had everyone laughing and enjoying a typically tedious process. We love every picture we got--her editing and use of light enhances the natural beauty in each moment, and you can see the intentionality and thought she put into each shot. We'll treasure our pictures forever!"

Emily was our wedding photographer in February 2025, and was absolutely wonderful! She was so attentive all day, and caught both the special random candid moments, and the beautiful shots we wanted! She had such a fast turnaround time, which was a wonderful surprise, and the editing was just lovely. Very natural, and a breath of fresh air amongst the overly cinematic and overly contrasty photos you see on Pinterest. today. We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives!
She was so attentive all day
