About the photographers
Your Documentary Crew Lead
I'm Emie, the main photographer behind the lens and here to help make sure all these special candid moments are captured.
My job is to make sure that your wedding day is photographed the way it was felt so that when you look back at those images, you can relive them all again.
My motto is 'I got you' because I know how important these moments are for you and I want to make sure we get them all.

Film Photography is my favorite
The reason I love photography so much is that I've always been a visual person. Photography has always been a way for me to go back through old memories.
I'm old enough to remember when we had to get our film developed. I had that pink barbie polaroid and my allowance was polaroid packs.
One of the most magical feelings for me was when I started developing my own photos. It was so rewarding that I could have a physical photo developed from start to finish.
birds are the best
I've had the privilege to be a part of wildlife research projects and through this I have fully confirmed, I am a bird person.
While working in the vet field I worked with an amazing bird veterinarian and got to meet so many awesome exotic parrots that I'll never forgot. These birds fueled my want to be a part of wildlife conservation and I took the leap, working a few summers out West and a few here in the Appalachian Mountains.
i like to get crafty
I love doing a variety of crafts but my favorites are with the fiber arts. Whether that's knitting, crocheting, spinning, or weaving, you'll find me with plenty of works in progress.
all animals are friends
Aside from my great love of birds, I also consider myself an overall animal person.
Whether it's as big as a horse, or as small as a jumping spider, I will glad to a photo of anyone.
Asides from weddings, I LOVE doing pet portraits. I have thousands of photos of my fur kids and I love getting great photos of peoples loved ones (humans and animals).
I love to explore
I'm always open to a new adventure and one of my favorite activities to do with couples is show them around the beautiful state of Virginia. From hikes on the Appalachian Trail to overlooks on the Blue Ridge Parkway, I love being outdoors.

The mountains are home
The Appalachian Mountains feel are my home and my favorite place to be when I can.
gardening gives me life
I love to work with native plants.
i make things
I enjoy being able to make things with my hands.
I'm the logistics
Planning is part of what I do so naturally I started putting together a guide of my favorite places along the Appalachian Trail.
This transformed into a guide for best photo locations depending on what our couples are looking for.
One of my main goals is figuring out if photo locations (and venues) have ADA accessibility and being able to relay that information to potential couples.
