Emily Photo Wedding Photography Blog 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.

Karla & Jose Wedding Photos – Part 1 – Secret Jewel, Cancun Mexico

As Karla and Jose’s reception wound down, I took a minute to have a seat, put my camera down and enjoy the view.  It might have been the tequila (shot into my mouth with a water gun) kicking in, or the hug I had just received from an uncle wearing pineapple glasses, but at that...

I have this rule about editing when Im grumpy. I generally don’t do it. I like to give good vibes into all the photos I touch :) Unfortunately in the last few weeks, I’ve had to make the decision to either cheer up or edit anyway. My computer crashed a few weeks...
