INQUIRE FOR DETAILS
You’re already imagining the details you’ll weave in—from the accent flowers (larkspur, just like the ones he gave you on your first date) to the best-friend-turned-ordained-minister who first introduced you! As your wedding photographer, I’m here to ensure you can truly enjoy your big day without worrying over missed moments or forgotten details.
That’s why the first thing you’ll receive from me after your booking confirmation is a complete photography timeline customized to your unique wishes, where we’ll plan out everything from your hair and makeup to the first look to family portraits!
But that’s only one piece of the puzzle. A picture-perfect wedding is a balancing act between so many moving parts, and those take time to make just right! With careful planning and wide-open communication, we’ll ensure your Philadelphia wedding photography experience is truly your dream made real.
YOUR WEDDING IS A CELEBRATION OF ALL THE
REASONS YOU TREASURE YOUR LOVE STORY THE MOST.

The Process
- Allie & Scott
Besides being extraordinarily talented, she is fun, kind, and the epitome of professional. At every turn she anticipated what I would need and how best to make the day of the wedding easier. She established an entire timeline for our day to make sure everything ran smoothly, and gave me advice and questions to ask my other vendors that never occurred to me.
"I couldn't imagine my wedding day with any other photographer."
- Kaitlyn & Matt
Throughout our wedding the entire wedding party and our family and friends could not stop raving about her. She was so fun to work with and everyone had the absolute best time! She was the best hype woman, made sure everyone was where they needed to be so everything ran smoothly, and captured our day so beautifully.
"She truly has a gift and is so talented. "
- Tori & Chris
Emily's personality makes you feel like you've known her for years, and you can tell she is so genuine and intentional. We were not the most comfortable or experienced in front of the camera going into our engagement session, but Emily eased all of our worries right from the beginning.
"She is professional, enthusiastic, and so incredibly helpful."

YOUR MEMORIES, YOUR WAY
Absolutely, I will! I cross the Delaware all the time to photograph the beautiful estates and manors that line the river on the New Jersey side! But if your celebration is a little farther away, I’d love to visit your hometown or dream destination to preserve your big day. Share your location in your inquiry, and we’ll discuss it during your consultation.
Within six weeks of your wedding day, you’ll get an email linking to your secure, beautifully-edited gallery! Your images will be ready to download, print, and share right from the gallery. No additional fees. No worry. No watermarks.
By only booking 25 weddings each year, I ensure that I can dedicate myself fully to each couple. But that also means my schedule fills fast! Because of that, I recommend inquiring as soon as you choose your wedding date—generally a year or more before the big day. However, if your celebration is closer and you’re still looking for a photographer, send in an inquiry! Your date might still be open!
It’s so easy! Just send over an inquiry telling me a bit about your upcoming celebration, and I’ll be in touch within 48 hours to share more details and next steps. Then, we’ll get a consultation call on the calendar, during which I’ll answer all of your questions and customize a collection to match your unique vision. If you decide we are a match made in heaven, a signed agreement and paid 25% retainer will reserve your date!
- Erin & Jim
But most importantly, she captured every perfect (and perfectly imperfect) moment from our best day ever.
