Being a wedding photographer means so much more to me than taking pretty photos. I want to capture honest moments and make you get in your feels when you reminisce on your day. Your wedding is going to be so damn cool. no matter what it looks like. and I mean that in every way possible. whether your wedding is at a church, the beach, on top of a mountain, in a backyard, or downtown in the grunge of the city, it is going to be beautiful. my goal is to document these events in ways that feel the most you. every single wedding is different and unique and that is my favorite part. my goal as your photographer is to make you feel comfortable enough around me to be your truest selves as individuals, couples, friends and families. By using guided moments, I’m able to capture romantic moments that are natural and full of love.
How Did I Get Here?
My camera has been attached to my hip ever since I was 14 years old. I eventually decided to turn my photography hobby into a career by studying at The Art Institute of Philadelphia. I received numerous awards including best portfolio award and Best of Weddings on TheKnot.com (2 years). I have an eye for framing and capturing high quality images. I love getting to know my couples and creating treasurable art together. My style is candid, timeless, heartfelt-approach.
"Emily has a lively and unique vision for capturing love stories. We felt comfortable with her as our photographer from our first interaction. We spoke on the phone and by that time I had interviewed several photographers and I could tell we matched in vibe right away. She's calm, knowledgeable, flexible, and fun. We ended up wanting an engagement photo shoot in Santa Barbara and it was so fun since we were able to bounce ideas off of each other. Emily thought of and suggested the perfect timing for lighting, and she had great ideas for picturesque locations. On our wedding day, Emily was able to help handle the photography expertly. With a great mix of action shots and posed shots, we felt she captured the best day ever with exactly the flare we wanted. Her editing is superb as well. She even offered videography services and brought a videographer who we also felt comfortable with. Emily also did the video editing which was phenomenal. She took incredible artsy shots that we were so impressed with. My husband is a big movie buff and he said he loved the style of our wedding video - more artistic documentary than a dry movie. We loved all the services we got from Emily. She is a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone in the Santa Barbara and southern California region for weddings or other special events."— Madee P.Emily and her team were fantastic to work with. Leading up to the day, I was coming from out of town and had so many questions! She was very prompt and knowledgeable and really put me at ease. My favorite part about her work is she captures the shots you didn’t even know you needed! She was able to photograph the moments I cherished the most without direction. Also, I constantly heard stories about delay in photo delivery, Emily delivered previews only a few days later and our final album in less then two weeks! Emily and her team of professionals were amazing to work with and I highly recommend!!
