Emie did such an amazing job capturing all the special moments from my big day! She made me and my entire bridal party feel so comfortable and at ease all day long. We detailed a plan together a few weeks before, and she came prepared and ready to photograph everything I was wanting. She was extremely gracious and accommodating as the weather caused a few hiccups in our original plan. She delivered my photos in a timely manner and everything came out BEAUTIFULLY. Her pricing was also extremely reasonable and affordable. I would recommend Emie to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She's the best!

We could not have asked for a better experience when working with Emie on our wedding day! Emie was fantastic in making sure everything was planned smoothly prior to the day-of and created such a beautiful captured view of our wedding. We appreciated her relaxed yet professional demeanor and were very thankful when she brought a second shooter to help get even more amazing photos than we could have ever thought we'd walk away with. We'd recommend Emie to any couple looking for photography services.

My wife and I could not have been happier working with Emie for our wedding in Charlottesville, VA. We found and approached her at the last minute after the photographer we had originally booked needed to back out. She was so accommodating working with us and getting everything together on such a tight schedule. Furthermore, Emie made us feel incredibly comfortable throughout the day, and the volumes of pictures she took captured exactly our vibe and spirit as a couple. She got us immediately. From our initial phone call through beyond the wedding day, she truly went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you, Emie!!!

Emie was absolutely amazing. She was everything you want in a wedding photographer. She captured everything me and my husband wanted for our engagement and wedding photos. Her photos are light and airy and so fun. I love her style. We had never had professional pictures taken and were a little nervous that they would be awkward but she made it so comfortable and fun. Her wedding packages were very reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend Emie if you are looking for a fun, professional, well organized, and very prepared photographer for your big day. We LOVED her so much.

Emie captured photos at my wedding that I know I will cherish forever! She has a fantastic talent for capturing someone's true essence. She gets in there, and you know she's getting the real you. In a natural, unobtrusive way, Emie captures some great candid moment. She also excels at incorporating nature into her photos and has an excellent eye for detail. Besides her talents, she did a great job of communicating with me and understanding what I wanted. She was also very professional and fun to be around. Hiring Emie to take my wedding photos was one of the best decisions I made.

Emie did my wedding and bridal shoots. She dealt with me jumping on 4 different horses for pictures. She was so patient and so much fun to work with. The pictures came out beautiful and natural. The pictures don’t look staged or stiff, just dreamy! The wedding pictures had some of the most flattering candids of everyone! She did such an amazing job.

You deserve to have your memories preserved with photos that reflect who you are

It is my job and duty to help you feel comfortable and confident in my service.  I cannot deliver my best work unless we're on the same page and that's why I make sure you don't feel uncomfortable in front of me.  I offer complimentary engagement sessions specifically for this reason.  I want you to be able to just enjoy your wedding without having to be worried about me or my camera.

No. 1

You don't want to feel awkward in front of the camera

Your wedding day will zoom by - instead of stressing on how to remember each moment, allow me to capture the moments for you. You stay present. Soak it all in. Leave the rest to me!

No. 2

You want to make your memories last

Your wedding day is going to fly by and the last thing I want you to do is stress about remembering each moment. I want you to be able to be fully present with the reassurance that I’ve got you! 

No. 3

Being fully present is important to you

More than likely, you haven't had to create a wedding timeline. Having photographed 20+ weddings, I know a thing or two to assist you throughout the planning process.
I will help you customize a timeline to fit all the photographs you're looking for, that way we will be ready to take on the day!
Hiring a planner? I'll make sure to communicate with them so we're all on the same page!

Having a little less wedding stress  is a priority

The beautiful thing about technology, is that anyone can pick up a camera and take photos.  However, not all of those people can provide a professional experience.  Wedding photography isn't just about the photos on the day of. 
It's all the time spent before and after your wedding too.
From personalized timeline, to editing, to proper file delivery, I work hard to provide the absolute best experience that I can.

I offer timeline assistance and resources as part of what I do.  I've done this a few times so I have a good idea of what works and what doesn't!  If you're working with a planner I'll make sure to communicate with them so we capture everything you're looking for!  I'm not a 'show up, shoot, and leave' type photographer.  This is your big day and I want to make sure I've got you covered!

After all that planning, your wedding day is finally here!!  My goal as your photographer is to be as prepared as I can be so on the day of the wedding, you aren't worried! I'll have your photo list at the ready and a prepared list of family you want photos with (trust me, it helps so much with making sure we get everyone!) That way you can sit back and immerse yourself in the beautiful celebration of your love.
