About

Hello lovers, thanks for stopping by. No one likes a flowery About section, so let’s keep this simple. We are artists, storytellers, photo takers, documenters, friends, cheerleaders, crowd pleasers and wranglers but at the very core of us lies hearts that love to serve. You’re in the right place if you want to focus on less stuff-stuff and more heart-stuff. We enter your inner circle to capture community, celebration, love, ugly-crying, fighting the ugly-cry, bad dance moves, good dance moves, tipsy grandma, reserved grandma, ankle biters (the fur ones and the child ones) we mean that in the most loving way as parents of a three year old.

Best vendor of our wedding!

Emry and their creative team (Brian and Sean) were 100% our best vendor for our whole wedding experience!

I was drawn to Emry after seeing the bright colors and quality of their photos. I was also so impressed by the amount of info on the website - both wedding photo and non-photo related! We used their travel credit card tip which we are so appreciate for!

When we talked to Ryan, he was so honest and helpful about what we should be looking for with photos, venue (we used Botanica), and a photographer. This helped us really build trust in them! Emily gave some great tips before the wedding, too. They knew our venue so well. I appreciated the pre-wedding questionnaire that helped me make sure nothing was missed.

We decided to use the creative team (Brian and Sean) so we could have two photographers while still staying in our budget. Photos are important to me, so it was our splurge vendor and NO REGRETS! They did an amazing job coaching us on poses, keeping the mood up, and were so discreet during the day. I hardly noticed them!

The photos themselves were everything we could have dreamed of! We even got a sneak peek 2 days after our wedding with so many photos! Some photographers may give a few photos, so we were blown away that we got so many, and so fast. It was so meaningful to get to send some to family and friends who couldn’t attend. Our full album is something we will cherish forever. They did an amazing job capturing the light and emotion. My friends are completely blown away by our photos.

If I could recommend one vendor in San Diego, it would be Emry. Just do it!!

The Wedding Photos of Our Dreams

We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with this photography team! From our very first call with Ryan to receiving our final edited gallery, every step of the process exceeded our expectations.
The photos are absolutely breathtaking. The editing is timeless, true to color, and so beautifully captures every emotion from our wedding day. We have looked through our gallery countless times already, and we're still completely obsessed.
We'd also like to give a special shoutout to our photographer, Brian. He was so much more than a photographer that day, he became such a calming presence. He fluffed my dress before photos, helped keep me calm throughout the day, and guided us into poses that felt completely natural. He made us feel comfortable, confident, and able to truly enjoy every moment.

We would recommend Emry Photography a thousand times over without hesitation. We are beyond grateful and will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.

THE BEST Photography Team Ever

Emry Photography is an easy 1000/10 and we cannot RECOMMEND THEM enough! When my wife and I were looking for wedding photographers, we called around and looked at quite a few. When we looked into Emry, even after our first phone call with them, we knew they were the right choice. We could tell right away how friendly, welcoming, and genuine Ryan was. Ryan and Emily were always extremely responsive and answered any questions we had throughly. They even went above and beyond, helping us with questions about our wedding timeline and venue, as if they were another wedding coordinator we had!

My wife and I have never done any photoshoots before. For our engagement session, Brian was so helpful and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed during our photoshoot. He helped us with poses and gave many great ideas. When we got our engagement photos back, we knew we made the right choice with Emry. The quality of the photos and attention to detail Ryan and his wife did with the editing were phenomenal!

Emry also had a great team of photographers and videographers for our wedding day. Brian and Elyse got so many great photos throughout the day and again helped with our poses. And our videographers Jerry and Thai were so amazing with their work. Their creativity helped get so many shots that we can always look back at to relive our wedding day. And once again Ryan and Emily did such a great job editing the photos (even removing makeup smudges) and Sean did wonderful work putting together our wedding film.

We were absolutely blown away by their work. Emry is easily THE BEST and we are so glad we went with them for our wedding!!

Engagement and Wedding Photoshoot

We truly cannot recommend Emry enough! From the very beginning, they made us feel so comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely excited throughout the entire process. They captured every moment of our wedding so beautifully, and the photos exceeded every expectation we had.

Not only are they incredibly talented, but they are also organized, professional, and such a joy to work with. The best part is that they are also married and show you how to pose so nothing looks awkward!! They somehow managed to capture all the big moments while also catching so many candid memories we'll treasure forever.

We are beyond grateful for these memories and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you for giving us the most beautiful wedding photos we could have ever imagined!

Amazing wedding photographers!

There truly aren't enough words to express our gratitude to EMRY and what it meant to have them be part of one of the biggest days of our lives.
Outside of your spouse, you'll probably spend more time with your photographers than almost anyone else on your wedding day. Ryan and Emily aren't just incredible photographers, they become your support system and your second set of coordinators, all while capturing memories for years to come!
From our very first consultation, Ryan took the time to answer every question I had and even brought up things I hadn't thought to ask. I immediately felt confident that we were in the best hands.
Throughout the entire year leading up to the wedding, Ryan was always quick to answer questions or jump on a call whenever I needed guidance. Their communication and professionalism were exceptional from beginning to end.
On the wedding day, they went so far beyond what I ever expected. Emily was with us girls while we got ready, capturing every special moment while also helping bustle my dress, holding things when my hands were full, fixing my hair, and making sure I was photo ready. Ryan was with the guys, helping with ties, cufflinks, boutonnieres, and making sure everyone looked their best. They both did so much more than simply take pictures! They genuinely cared about making our day as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Before we even received our photos, so many of our guests commented on how seamless, organized, and professional Ryan and Emily were. They kept everything on schedule while somehow managing to be everywhere at once, capturing every meaningful moment without ever feeling intrusive.
Then we received our gallery and all I can say is WOW!!!!!
The photos are absolutely breathtaking. Every time we look through them, we discover a new favorite. They perfectly captured not only how our wedding looked, but exactly how it felt, filled with so much emotion and tears! On top of that, their turnaround time was incredible!!! We received a sneak peek within a week and our full gallery in less than a month, which completely exceeded our expectations.
Photography is one of the biggest investments you'll make for your wedding day, but it's also one of the few things you'll have forever. Choosing EMRY was one of the best decisions we made. Their work is exceptional, but what truly sets them apart is the experience they create. Their kindness, professionalism, calming presence, and genuine passion for what they do made all the difference.
I specifically wanted a husband-and-wife photography team, and Ryan and Emily exceeded every expectation. They brought such positive energy to our wedding, honored every photo request I had, captured countless candid moments we never would have seen otherwise, and made us feel completely comfortable from start to finish!!
We are forever grateful for the memories they preserved for us and cannot wait to have EMRY capture future milestones for us. If you're considering booking them, don't hesitate because you won’t regret investing in this incredible team!!!

Amazing experience with Emry Photography

Ryan and Emily Burhop are everything you hope for in a wedding photography and videography team and then some. They went above and beyond at every stage of our wedding experience. Their professionalism is matched only by their warmth; every family member and friend who crossed paths with them on our wedding day has told us how much they loved them. Ryan has a remarkable talent for capturing the moments you didn't even know were happening. The candid emotions, the in-between seconds that end up meaning the most. Emily was exceptional with our bridesmaids and made everyone feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The quality of their work speaks for itself. Our preview images were stunning, but what truly impressed us was the turnaround time. We had our full digital album back within a month, which is remarkable given the level of detail and artistry in every single shot. We will be recommending Emry Photography to every couple we know. Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding.

Our favorite vendor!

We loved working with Emry! They were super easy to communicate with, really responsive, and just genuinely nice to work with throughout the process. On the wedding day, they brought great energy and helped keep everything moving. They kept us on our timeline, gave helpful suggestions when things needed to shift, and made the day feel smooth and stress-free without ever rushing us. We love their editing style, and the photos turned out beautifully. These are pictures we’ll truly cherish forever, and we’re so glad we chose them. We were referred to them from one of my bridesmaids and I would absolutely recommend.

Best in Class Wedding Photographer

We used Emry Photography for our October 2025 wedding in San Diego, and they did an amazing job. Brian was our lead photographer, and captured all of the standard shots, while also adding some high quality shots utilizing my wife's wedding veil.

We felt that the editing quality was superb, the turnaround time was very fast, and the communication was great. Overall we felt that Emry provided a great value product, and we highly recommend them.

Professional and experienced wedding photographers

It was an absolute pleasure working with Emry.
Leading up to our wedding, they guided us through the process. They were organized, accommodating, and honest. They responded to our texts and set up calls, whether to discuss things related to their services or general wedding concerns. They led the discussions about the wedding day timeline, and they suggested fun ways to capture pictures with different groups. Their experience spoke volumes compared to other photographers we vetted.
On the wedding day, Emily and Ryan arrived early and were prepared. They were flexible as we finished getting ready, moving first to flat lays and venue pictures. They directed poses that looked effortless and natural, and they really have an eye for shots in good lighting and unique spots. They caught many spontaneous moments throughout the evening, capturing the joy of the event. We had a large list of groups for staged pictures with us and some guests were non-English speakers, but Emry handled everything in a patient and efficient manner.
They checked in with us to make sure we were doing OK, and they reminded us constantly that they were here for us, so we could take more pictures, take a break, move forward, or do other shots we had in mind as we pleased.
Emry got back with our digital album within a month.
Throughout the planning period and on the wedding day, they truly supported us. We would highly recommend their services!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
