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.

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!

Ryan & Emily Are Pure Magic

Absolutely incredible. Look no further, because Ryan and Emily are the most amazing team ever! We absolutely loved working with them. From engagement photos to the wedding day, they were so personable, fun, and made us feel completely comfortable. And the fact that they’re a married couple made everything even better. They showed us poses, guided us through each moment, and kept the whole experience so natural and easy.

They were unbelievably fast getting our photos back, and every single image was stunning. Truly the nicest people and such an incredible duo to have by our side on our wedding day. We couldn’t recommend them more!

The BEST duo you could ask for!!

We truly could not have asked for a better photography team than Ryan & Emily! Their portfolio speaks for itself - But we have still been fawning over our gallery since we received it back, and our families and friends can't stop talking about how amazing our pictures turned out as well!! In addition to being very happy with how our photos turned out, Ryan and Emily were just overall great to work with through the planning process. They were super thorough with their questions and answering any we had on our end from initial consult and the planning process, and when the day finally came they definitely brought their A game! We had so much fun (even though we are both incredibly awkward picture takers) and Ryan & Emily made us feel comfortable while also being clear with directions to get the best shots! We will be recommending them to everyone we know getting married in CA!!

Amazing to work with

My husband and I are soooo incredibly grateful for both Emily and Ryan! They are truly incredible from their personality during our booking process, all the way leading up to our big day! They were honestly more helpful during our wedding than our coordinators. As they know the wedding industry so well and the flow of what feels like a stressful and unforgettable day. I was so stunned at the number of pictures and the top-notch quality of their work. Thank you again for everything. I'd do it all over again, knowing that you would be able to capture all the moments!

A Seamless, Heartfelt Capture of Our Wedding Day

We hired Emry Photography for our wedding, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. From the first email exchange, Emily and Ryan listened to what we wanted and gave practical suggestions that fit our style. On the day of the wedding they were organized and unobtrusive—moving through the ceremony and reception while quietly capturing the moments that mattered most, from the first look to the spontaneous laughs during the dancing.

Their documentary‑style approach meant we didn’t have to spend a lot of time posing; they let the day unfold naturally and still got clear, well‑composed shots. Even with a busy family photo session, they kept things moving without feeling rushed, and everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera.

One thing we really appreciated was how quickly we received the final gallery—just under four weeks after the wedding. The photos were nicely edited, with good lighting and color balance, and they captured the genuine emotions of the day without looking overly staged.

Overall, Emry Photography delivered reliable, friendly service and produced a collection of images we’ll keep revisiting for years. If you’re looking for a professional yet down‑to‑earth wedding photographer, they’re a solid choice.

Amazing team!

My husband and I were out researching venues and visiting our top ones when we ran into Ryan and Emily. We found out that they were local wedding photographers and had photographed many weddings at multiple venues around the area. It was VERY evident that they were highly knowledgeable about the venues in the area and were able to give us the pros and cons of many of the popular venues. Their thoughtfulness and pure knowledge/expertise in all facets of a wedding really stood out to us.

After our engagement photo shoot, my husband and I knew that we picked the right team for the job. Ryan and Emily made us feel so comfortable with our session and were able to capture a mix of both posed photos and candid photos that perfectly captured our emotions in each picture. We were so excited to see our pictures and were STOKED when EMRY had our full engagement gallery to us in less than a couple days.

With EMRY you not only get two wonderfully skilled photographers, you really gain two additional coordinators for everything wedding planning. On the day of our wedding, we were behind schedule and I walked in feeling frazzled. However, Emily and Ryan took charge from the moment my bridal party showed up to the venue and I cannot stress enough how much of a difference their calming and confident presence set the tone for the rest of the day. Chris and I were able to be fully present in each moment of my day because we knew that Ryan and Emily would capture everything we wanted. In addition, their video team was also so thoughtful and lighthearted, which continued to help us focus on enjoying every moment! All of our guests were impressed with the ease in which Emily and Ryan worked the venue to capture every single moment of our day. We were then both amazed they were able to get us our wedding day sneak peek pictures in just a FEW days and our FULL wedding gallery three weeks later! Not only was the turn around time for our photos incredibly fast, but also the photos were STUNNING. Chris and I loved reliving the small moments through pictures and we cannot stress enough how AMAZING of a team everyone at EMRY is!

The best photographers !!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Emily and Ryan! From the moment they arrived, they made us feel so comfortable—like we had been friends with them for years. They’re not only insanely talented photographers, but also the most personal, genuine people you could ever ask to be part of your wedding day. They made us feel so important and special, and they captured every moment beautifully while keeping us relaxed and never rushed.

What blew us away is how much more they did than just take photos. They truly felt like part coordinators—keeping the day flowing smoothly and making sure we and our wedding party were stress-free and having fun. Their presence was calming, encouraging, and honestly one of the best parts of the entire day.

On top of that, their videographer was incredible—so fun to be around, kept us laughing all night, and did such an amazing job capturing everything. Together, they made the entire experience unforgettable.

Choosing Emily and Ryan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only do we have gorgeous photos and video that we’ll treasure forever, but we also walked away feeling like we gained new friends. If you’re looking for a photography team who genuinely cares about you, your day, and your memories—this is the small business to support. Truly phenomenal.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
