I’m Emily - a wife, twin boy mama, and total dog person. Nature is my happy place, whether it's relaxing by the ocean or enjoying a peaceful mountain escape. I'm a lover of good food, understated style and all things floral.

I have always enjoyed photography, and found myself in need of a creative outlet. My own wedding photographer, a sweet friend from college, encouraged me to pursue photography as a career, and that was my light bulb moment.

My work has only become more rewarding with each passing year. Every love story is unique, and I never tire of the excitement from witnessing two people vow to share their lives together! After the wedding, it is such an honor to document your family as it continues to grow.
