a lil about me,
Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Philadelphia, where I live with my partner, James, and our cat, Finn. I grew up in Canada and Ohio in a family of travelers, and at 15 I discovered photography on a trip abroad with my parents. When I got home, I started collecting National Geographic magazines, captivated by the way others could capture the beauty of the world. That early spark grew into a lifelong love of storytelling through images.My style blends documentary and editorial, capturing real emotions in a way that feels both vibrant and intimate. Whether I’m documenting love stories or traveling for inspiration, my goal is simple: to capture joy and turn it into lasting memories.
on your wedding day,
My main mission is to make you and your loved ones feel totally at ease. I want to capture the story of your wedding as it naturally unfolds, like a fly on the wall. But don't worry, I won't just hang back—I'll also jump right into the action and direct when needed.I'm not a fan of stuffy and stiff poses. I believe in letting people freely express themselves, showing off their true personalities. So, during your wedding, you can count on me to encourage you to be yourselves and have a blast. I'll be there, ready to snap those candid shots that truly capture the magic, laughter, and all the feels that make your day special.Together, we'll create a collection of photographs that tell the incredible story of your day, capturing the love, joy, and unforgettable memories in a way that feels totally you.
"Emily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was able to perfectly see our vision, and execute and embody that in her documentation of our day. The quality of her work, both digital and film, as well as her communication, was nothing less than personal and truly exquisite. The photos she took encapsulate the vibe and all the people present on our big day. She is prompt, responsive in both communication as well as creatively when it came to what we wanted out of a photographer, and kind and relatable. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Not only did she perform amazingly with flexibility and easy going-ness when our timing and lists proved to be less than an adequate, but I felt she truly enjoyed being there and doing what she was doing. She gave us multiple recommendations for other vendors, two of which we ended up choosing, and both of which who were equally fantastic. Your research ends here! Choose Emily! She is THE best!"

"Where to begin with Emily? For starters, she is the sweetest human you will ever meet. As soon as we met her we knew she was special. Another thing that stuck out for us was how organized she was. From her package options, communication, payment, and planning forms we knew that we were not going to have anything to worry about on our big day. Emily took our dreams and made them a reality and truly captured the essence of my partner and I. It has been 2 months and I am still getting compliments on our pictures, the most common one being that they are the best wedding pictures that they’re ever seen. We will forever hold a place in our heart for Emily and her partner Jay for the magic that they created for us!— Meg & Tom
Emily is worth more than five stars. If you're looking for someone who can seamlessly integrate with you/your family/your friends, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera (even if you usually find it to be an excruciating experience), and capture gorgeous photos that perfectly encapsulate the feeling of the day or event, you've come to the right place. Emily was the photographer for our recent wedding and went above and beyond. Communication with her was seamless both as part of the lead up and on the day itself. She did a great job focusing on candids, which we had discussed was our priority, and we have gotten endless compliments on the photos that she captured. The emotions of the day are palpable in each shot and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results.
