Your wedding day is an emotional journey — one that should be experienced fully, without distraction. The goal is to create a timeline that allows you to savor every minute, ensuring you can be in the moment while also receiving photos that will help you remember it all for years to come.
Instead of interruptions and lengthy photoshoots, the focus will be on capturing the true flow of your day: the laughter, the exchanges, the joy, and the quiet moments in between. There’s no need to perform. This day is about you, and the photographs should reflect that truth.
The approach is simple: let the day unfold naturally. Whether through candid snapshots or carefully guided portraits, the goal is to create images that feel like a reflection of your love story. Timeless, natural, and true to you.
Whether you're saying 'I do' at your dream venue overlooking the mountains, or in your grandparent’s backyard surrounded by your childhood friends, I’ll be there to capture every moment of anticipation, the quiet exchanges, and the celebratory toasts that make your day unforgettable.
If you're dreaming of an intimate setting with only your closest friends and family, or a day where you run away to your favorite mountain or beach, your wedding will be as unique as your love story. I’ll be there to capture every personal, meaningful moment.

"I have always dreaded times I needed to be in front of a camera. Emily made it easy to enjoy our time as a couple, while somehow capturing our personalities perfectly. Every single photo was great (we had such a hard time picking out our favorites). We ended the day feeling very confident and actually excited."
"Hunter and I moved to Raleigh after getting engaged and wanted some photos to capture that special time in our lives. We found Emily and absolutely loved her work. She captured the most beautiful and dreamy photos for us we absolutely had to have her with us to capture our courthouse elopement. We cherish the photos she took and appreciate how flexible she was with us and open to anything. She gives great direction, has an incredible eye for special moments and details, and really understands what you're looking for. We can't thank her enough for the gift she has given us capturing some of our most special memories through her fantastic work!"
"Emily was the PERFECT photographer for our surprise engagement. From location scouting a place she’d never been to before to being easy to coordinate with to picking the perfect shots for the shoot after the proposal, Emily did an incredible job. We are OBSESSED with the final product and could not recommend her more strongly."
"Emily did an amazing job as our photographer! She was quick to put us at ease with her kind and calm personality. During our time together, she was so encouraging and constantly worked to make sure we were having a good time. She captured our energy and relationship perfectly. Truly the best experience that we could have had!"
"I am beyond thrilled with ow the photos came out! Working with Emily was so much fun, and my husband and I felt so comfortable with her. She had so many ideas and prompts when we needed them, which led to a wide variety of photos. We love how natural we look, and she really did an amazing job at capturing our love."
I don’t put a limit on the number of photos because I believe every moment deserves to be captured. At minimum, you can expect 50-60 photos per hour. But rest assured, nothing will be left out of your gallery.
You’ll receive sneak peeks within 72 hours because I know you’re excited to relive the day. Weddings are delivered in about 10 weeks, elopements in 6 weeks, and couple sessions in 4 weeks. All galleries are carefully curated and shared through Pic-Time, where you can download your high-res images and easily share the memories with your loved ones.
I promise, feeling awkward in front of the camera won’t be an issue! Almost every couple I work with feels this way at first. Before the shoot, I’ll send over all the info so we’re on the same page, and I’ve got plenty of prompts to help guide you and your partner into moments you’ll love. But I’m also happy to step back and let things unfold naturally. My goal is to make it feel like a fun date night with your person. I know we’ll have an amazing time.
Yes, I do! I offer specific packages for locations within the United States that include all my travel and lodging, and no extra fees. If you’re thinking about getting married outside of the U.S., reach out, and I’d be happy to provide international package details.
Absolutely! I’m excited to hear your vision and help brainstorm outfit and location ideas that feel true to you. While I know the Raleigh area and North Carolina well, I’m happy to help wherever your shoot takes us.
