About

An artisan truth-teller, I'm based in Kansas City and the Midwest, traveling worldwide. Why do you want your wedding documented? To celebrate the beginning of a life with your love, to honor the people who have been beside you both? To remeber holding each other and how your whole faces streched in laughter/shone with tears? To rejoice at how the light looked on your clothes and everyone was together? The joy and honor of being invited in to each family and wedding day is immense and I strive to serve and love well, whoever they are and wherever we're celebrating. I make photographs as a friend, telling the truth about who you are and what happend. Carrying you back to amazement and gratitude with images you're connected to is important.

Breathtaking Photos & The Best Wedding Photographer Experience Ever

Emily went above and beyond to capture our wedding, and our photos are breathtaking, most people tell us they are the best wedding photos they've ever seen. We got married in the Smokey Mountians one week after the wildfires went through the area, so needless to say, we had to completely change and replan the entire wedding in a week. In the midst of all the craziness, Emily was calm, went with the flow, and did a fantastic job replanning the photography for the day even with all the changes. She captured the wedding beautifully and yet we were still able to really experience our wedding day. Nothing was staged or put on, and she captured the moments of the day and our emotions throughout wonderfully. I've been in and helped plan numerous weddings, and this was the best photography experience I've encountered. We didn't feel like we were in a photo shoot the whole day, but yet it was so organized that we didn't have to worry that photos being taken. My husband and I are not very photogenic people in normal circumstances, but Emily captured us naturally and gave us the best photos we could have asked for.

A new friend and supporter

Emily was above our expectations. She was supportive and open minded and she was just so natural and down to earth. It was so easy having her around and she made the day even more special by helping us focus on us and why we were getting married.

Emily is simply AMAZING!

We cannot say enough great things about Emily! She was attentive, caring, and SO kind throughout the entire process. She shot our proposal pics, engagement photos and all of our wedding/reception! The images she captured are so special and natural. She captured everything exactly as we remembered it. Nothing too posed or forced. You can feel the energy of the day from looking at the photos! When my husband and I got the pictures back, we CRIED looking at all of them! They're that good! Emily did a great job of telling us how to pose, without it feeling too "posey." The pictures are natural, fun, and so beautiful. Her edits are amazing as well! She designed a book for us that we look at all the time. There is no doubt that she has some amazing design skills. Would absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, recommend her to ANYONE looking for a wedding photographer that will capture their day perfectly!! We love Emily!!!

Re-living our wedding forever through Emily’s Photographs!!!

Emily was everything in a wedding photographer we could ever ask for. Her vision accompanied with compassion and flexibility is unparalleled. Her work is a beautiful blend of art and reality that is able to capture the essence of love!! She agreed to travel to the beautiful island of Sri Lanka to document our wedding and we could not have been any happier with the pictures. The only sad thing was she was already booked so we couldn’t have her for our ceremony in Nepal but looking forward to opportunities with Emily in future!

Flexible and creative

Emily took my senior pictures, which I was initially nervous about because I don’t love being in front of the camera. However, she was so confident and relaxed that the environment was super easy to be comfortable in, and the result was fun, creative pictures. Would absolutely recommend.

adaptable and keen eye

Emily was incredibly fun, kind, and easy to work with, especially with a group. She has an eye for using the natural landscape to accentuate portraits. She was also timely in returning the edited photos. She made me feel comfortable and at ease in front of a camera.
