I had the pleasure of working with the dream team duo of Emily and her husband Stephen! My wedding was planned very last minute about 1.5 weeks before the big day and I was so stressed about finding the perfect photographer and I really wanted a videographer as well. On a whim I messaged Emily on instagram and she was so quick to get back to me. I was so surprised and felt so seen right off the bat! After she said she was free for my wedding weekend we quickly set up a video chat and I explained my vision and she provided so much input and ideas that helped put it all together! The booking and planning process was so easy it helped me feel at ease for the big day approaching. They were both the sweetest couple and my family and I loved having them join in our intimate micro wedding at the beach. We had some crazy winds that day but they captured our wedding perfectly and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect dreamy day. It was exactly as I had envisioned and I can’t thank them both enough! We are already talking about and planning our anniversary photo shoots in the future with Emily! We can’t recommend her and her husband enough! My wedding video was also so special and brought everyone to tears! Thank you both so much!"

Emily was pleasant, professional, and very patient. I also found her work to be exceptional. Her eye for details and hard work generated some of the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen. Definitely worth working with her. She helped us every step of the way and the wedding turned out to be a total success at every level.

Emily was absolutely incredible to work with! She not only took amazing photos but paid attention to the tiny details you only see if you look for them! She produced some of the most stunning photos I've ever seen. Not only that, but she was fun to be around! I would 100% recommend working with Emily any chance you get.

Emily was able to blend right into the wedding party. She took photos in a respectful, non-invasive way and really captured the feel of the day. She has a bright personality that made her feel like a part of the group. We enjoyed having her around and love the pictures she took and her editing skills that really elevated the overall results.

At first I was uncertain about a Photographer following us around all day but then I met Emily. Right off the bat she blended in and listened. She was never under foot and always kind and attentive. She got to know not just the Bride but the family as well and it shows in the thoughtfulness of the shoots she took. Everything was beautifully handled and done. My one negative is she is based in Oregon so sadly we won't be able to use her regularly as we are in Nebraska but if I or anyone I know ever need Photos in that area 1000% I am going to recommend. Definitely elevated the experience.

Hello, Bride here!! These are SOME of the wonderful things my family had to say about Emily. If you want someone to perfectly capture the love you and your spouse share, through photography, hire Emily. If you want someone who is kind, efficient, thoughtful, professional and will seamlessly blend into your family, hire Emily. If you want photos that will quite literally take your breath away, hire Emily. If you want someone who will pick up the phone days before the wedding because you read a sign wrong and thought an entire beach was closed and need talking off a ledge, hire Emily.

Just hire Emily. It is the easiest decision anyone could make. Wake up, drink some water, choose Emily. I could go on and on about her, but at this point I hope that I have made myself clear. Pictures were one of the most important parts of my wedding day for my now husband and I. We had dreamed of that day for years, and were worried there was no way to capture the love, joy, relief and overall happiness everyone would feel. We felt like that until we met Emily. She takes moments in time and makes them last forever. I cannot thank her enough.

I loved how laid back it felt to be with Emily! My fiance and I kept forgetting we were taking pictures and it just felt like a date night with Emily there taking pictures of us. She made us feel so relaxed the whole time and we felt so comfortable even though we hadn't ever had our pictures taken before. I loved all the suggestions she gave to us and everything felt so natural to do. My favorite part of the session was being able to go to so many beautiful spots on the Oregon Coast and have that memory and experience with my fiance. Emily knew where to take us for each of the spots and we didn't need to plan anything. We never felt rushed or anything and it was such a joyful experience. Emily made us feel so relaxed and we both kept forgetting we were taking pictures.. Emily is such a kind person and made our experience one of our favorite memories my fiance and I have together. We left the experience and kept talking about how much we loved that we decided to fly across the country to take pictures. Our family and friends kept asking us why we would choose Oregon and the pictures just explain it all!! We are so happy to have these pictures forever and to hang them in our house one day.

Emily is kind, energetic, and attentive to details (like bringing us hand warmers!) She makes shooting together an enjoyable experience, rain or shine. She is responsive and professional the whole process long! My partner and I felt celebrated by her art, and are honored to have worked with her."

"Emily was amazing! We are from Boise, Idaho and we decided to do a small destination wedding on the Oregon Coast. Although we had been to the Oregon Coast multiple times we still found ourselves in the dark on some things. That is where Emily came in! I was very nervous about planning a destination wedding, but she made the process a lot less painful! We found her on instagram and loved the way she captured everyone’s special moments in her own style. She messaged me right away after we reached out and from then on she was nothing but supportive, patient and very informative. She made us feel very comfortable taking instruction from her and made us feel natural in front of the camera. Our favorite moments with Emily were our engagement photos in Portland and our couples’ wedding photos because those were one on one times with her. We shared a lot of laughs and it was always a fun time! Emily went above and beyond her role as a photographer. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family. We will for sure be contacting her for other major life events that need to be photographed! Thank you Emily for everything and helping our dream wedding come true! "

From the beginning we were able to dream about what our wedding day would look like and how it would be captured and Emily dreamed right along side us and helped us make it all happen.
Throughout the entire wedding planning process, I really leaned on Emily with questions about Timeline, aesthetic and kinds of photos among other various questions. I felt listened to and supported and she was so helpful with all of her tips and tricks to make our wedding day run smoothly!
Our favorite part was our sunset session after our wedding ceremony. It was just us getting to soak in our first few moments of being married in a BEAUTIFUL location that Emily chose and she captured it all so beautifully. It’s a memory we will always be grateful for.

We loved every moment of our photo session! Being able to sightsee in a completely different landscape than what we're used to in the NJ/NYC area, the whole session felt like a movie just going up and down the Oregon Coast. What stood out to us was just how seamless Emily made the whole experience. We didn't feel rushed to go from location to location. We took breaks when needed but we definitely are glad we hired her for 5 hours, it was just perfect for what we needed. Emily made me and my wife feel like we were close friends, as if we knew her for years. There was no issue communicating and we had a TON of fun just exploring and sharing our life stories together. We didn't feel uncomfortable in any way, we just had a ton of fun and Emily is super friendly and an open book, WE LOVE HER A TON!! If you are in Oregon, Emily would be my first and only recommendation for photos. Her work ethic, friendliness, professionalism, and just being a pro in her craft just comes together beautifully. Emily is amazing at what she does and you will not regret booking with her.

My husband and I did an adventure session on the Oregon coast with Emily for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We were both a little nervous since we had never had professional pictures done before, but Emily was literally the best and we felt so comfortable and had so much fun during our session! Emily was so knowledgeable about all of the beautiful locations along the coast and the timing in terms of lighting and crowds. She knows of so many hidden gems that we had no idea even existed. We loved how Emily captured many candid moments of us that felt so intimate and raw, yet completely beautiful. It really just felt like the two of us exploring the coast and Emily captured it so beautifully. We have received so many compliments from family and friends on the photos. Also, from the moment we booked Emily to the time we received our pictures, her communication has been off the charts exceptional. You can really tell she cares about her clients and wants them to he happy! I would recommend Emily a million times over and we hope to have pictures done by her again next time we visit the coast. Book Emily, you will not regret it!

"What a dream experience with Emily!! Getting our engagement photos done was a very important milestone in my fiancé and I’s journey together, I wanted them to be perfect. When I found Emily’s Instagram I just knew she had talent and if anyone could make my photos perfect, It’d be her. She took my vision and made it happen. She was so creative and made both of us feel so comfortable, we were both giggling the whole time. My fiancé isn’t a big picture fan, he tries to get out of it as much as he can, but with Emily he was smiling the whole time and after the shoot was over he admitted he had a blast. She made the whole day so special and I’m forever thankful I found her! Our photos turned out so beautiful. I look forward to booking with her again, highly recommend."

She was fully invested in us and our vision long before our wedding day! So when our big day finally arrived, she captured everything beautifully, made us and all of our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she even suggested other stunning locations for couple’s portraits near our ceremony spot! We received some of our photos just two days after our ceremony and haven’t stopped gushing over them since! They’re absolutely beautiful, and she captured "us" so eloquently! If you’re thinking about hiring Emily for your wedding, elopement, or bridal portraits (yes, I did those with Emily too!) you can stop searching and take this task off your never-ending to-do list because Emily will exceed all your expectations!"
"Emily made my dream wedding come true! She initially caught my attention with her gorgeous images and style on Instagram, but one of my favorite things about Emily is her responsiveness.
