I posted a blog this week about authenticity on your wedding day & I really felt pulled to speak more on it here - it's such a big deal in the beginning stages of wedding planning and for couples who are totally new to the process - it can be a little overwhelming.⁠
⁠
I know you're probably on Pinterest, searching the night away for table decorations and photo inspiration on what you'd like to have photographed - which is WONDERFUL. ⁠
⁠
But don't get bogged down in the "picture perfect" wedding day that Pinterest or IG or really any social media platform honestly shows us most of the time. ⁠
⁠
Your picture perfect will look different than someone else's. ⁠
⁠
You deserve to have the exact day you want to have. ⁠
⁠
I talk about this a TON because we are in this insane wedding BOOM right now & I just want to scream it from the mountains to just SLOW DOWN and not pay attention to the norm, the standard - whatever the heck those even mean nowadays. ⁠
⁠
It's all about you and the love of your life. ⁠
⁠
Click the link in my bio to head over to checkout the sweetest couple that planned their elopement so unapologetically and so authentic to THEM. It's adorable. Grab the tissues. ⁠

This was seriously one of the most JOYFUL looking

This was seriously one of the most JOYFUL looking shoots I think I have ever done - the florals, the colors, the sweet connection between these two. Straight up happiness. I love it.⁠

Your wedding day is a small blip of your story - s

Your wedding day is a small blip of your story - something so completely YOU, and being you is something no one else can emulate or even try to copy. It's timeless & authentic - two words that I've kept in mind as I've grown my business and created over the last ten years.

What are traditions anyways? Something you THINK you should do simply because your parents did it, or is it because YOU want to do it?

I encourage you to look beyond the first looks and bouquet tosses and (with the help of your wedding photog ahem hem) visualize what your perfect day looks like. The small details. The people there. The location. All of it. And let's make it happen. Tradition or not, whatever you choose will be authentic to you & your partner.

Here for it all :)

Sweetest words. Had to share a few of the kindest things said & just reiterates to me that I truly work in such an impactful industry. 🥺

“You will not find a more dedicated, compassionate, and caring photographer. Emily came to our rescue as we were desperately looking for a photographer a month before our wedding. She happily agreed to shoot our wedding and even moved a personal trip she had already had planned so she could be available for our date.

The planning process was so enjoyable and easy. She truly wants to know the people she is working with and I think that is what sets her apart. Her images capture more than just the moments of our wedding day, but the feelings. I look through our pictures and remember the joy that we all felt finally getting to celebrate together.

I am so grateful to have had her by our side the entire day. She goes above and beyond for the people she works with and is truly a lover of love and knows how to capture it in a beautiful way. We feel like we have gained a life long supporter and friend in her.”

I think one of the most important qualities to hav

I think one of the most important qualities to have as a wedding photographer is being encouraging. ⁠
⁠
Whether that is during the nerves of taking engagement photos, chaos of a wedding day, or simply just needing validation during the planning process that you are doing JUST fine, my job is to just make you feel GOOD. ⁠
⁠
I promise that no matter what you choose, how you feel during your engagement photos, or what potential chaos ensues on your wedding day, you are going to forget it all when you look down the aisle and see the love of your life. ⁠
⁠
It won't even matter. ⁠
⁠
But, when the stress or the crazy happen - I'll be there however you need me to be. Every couple, every wedding is different - and being fluid and flexible is so important in this career. ⁠
⁠
You'll see me smiling through it all. :) ⁠
