Emily Photo Wedding Photography Blog – San Diego, CA bio picture

A little about me...

When it comes to my art, emotions are my inspiration. And when I capture a wedding in pictures, I’m inspired by every single moment. The drama and power of photography has captivated me all my life. From the first moment I explored Portland’s monthly gallery exhibits to the first time I developed prints myself, I knew my future was carving its space: I would be a professional photographer.


In 2007, I began shooting weddings. The excitement and energy of each event is intoxicating—and when I know I’ve captured the emotion of the moment, there’s no better feeling in the world. To get to that point, I start my journey with the bride and groom before I even pick up the camera. I’m inquisitive by nature, and understanding the details, design and style of a couple’s wedding can transform the tone of my images from beautiful to breathtaking. 


I shoot a full range of photos, but “portraits” hold a special place in my heart. Portraits are intensely personal and can be incredibly rewarding for a photographer. When a mother looks at a portrait of her daughter and says “oh, that’s so her” with the slightest smile on her face, I know I’ve given them something special. When I shoot portraits of family and guests, I hope that they’ll feel amazing when they see themselves in print. To deliver such emotion is a gift for me, and if I’m doing my job right, it’s a gift to my clients, as well. 


What I want for my clients is to bring every moment to life, to shape the story of their special day through my lens. I hope I can do exactly that for you.

Kelly & John – St. Thomas Wedding – Sneak Peek

Thursday, June 25, 2009 Posted in Wedding Photography

The second I stepped off the plane in St. Thomas, I knew I was in love. The “welcome to the island” rum shots of course added to my complete obsession with the place, but I knew shooting a wedding there was going to be beyond amazing! I just got back and am still going through the photos but wanted to post a sneak peek. Kelly liked my last bride Stacey’s idea for images of them together before the ceremony without seeing each other. I really need a cute name for this…

Btw, how much do you love her gown and his suit???
