A luxury & personable wedding photographer

Peper Love Photography elevated our Italian garden wedding to sheer perfection. From the moment Emily and her husband arrived, their passion for capturing moments was palpable. They effortlessly blended into the festivities, becoming a seamless part of the celebration. We feel so lucky to have had Peper Love photography shoot our engagement photos & our wedding day!

What stood out were the meticulous details Emily caught on camera – the delicate flowers on the wedding veil, the vibrant hues of the floral arrangements, and the subtle glances exchanged during the ceremony.

The decor shots were nothing short of breathtaking. Emily's keen eye for composition turned our venue into a visual masterpiece. Every centerpiece, every carefully placed detail was showcased with an artistic touch. The resulting photos serve as a timeless reminder of the ambiance we worked so hard to create— an Italian garden vibe during the Virginia summer!

When it came to portraits, Emily's direction made us feel at ease, bringing out genuine smiles and candid expressions. The couple portraits are a testament to their ability to capture the essence of our love—photos that we’ll cherish forever! The playful shots perfectly complement the more formal ones, creating a well-rounded gallery that tells the complete story of our wedding day.

As the day unfolded, Emily and her husband didn't miss a beat. From the emotional exchange of vows to the lively dance floor, every chapter was documented with precision. They skillfully navigated through different lighting scenarios, ensuring that each photo radiates warmth and authenticity.

The exit shots were the grand finale we didn't know we needed. The sparklers and laughter, frozen in time, perfectly encapsulated the joyous atmosphere as we bid farewell to our guests. Emily's ability to capture the energy and emotion of that moment is truly remarkable.

In essence, Peper Love Photography is more than a photography service; they're memory weavers. Their dedication to preserving the intricate tapestry of our wedding day is evident in every frame. If you're searching for photographers who go above and beyond, look no further. Emily and her husband are the dynamic duo you want behind the lens on your special day.

Amazing, Wonderful, and spontaneous Photographer!!!

We hired Emily to be the photographer for our wedding as well as our engagement. She did a spectacular job! The pictures are absolutely breathtaking! We loved both her photography and editing style. Emily and her assistant were wonderful and easy to work with :) they make the photo sessions so fun. She was totally willing to take pictures of us on cliffs in rivers etc! no matter what weird poses we wanted, she captured everything in the moment. Emily also sent us a “teaser” for the photo album a few days after the wedding, so we could post the pictures. She sent us the rest of the pictures later when she finished editing them. We couldn’t be happier and we would definitely recommended!!

Emily captured every moment of our wedding in the most perfect way.

Our review for Peper Love Photography is long overdue and even though it has been almost four months since our wedding, we are still feeling incredibly grateful that we shared our day with Emily (and Brandon too!). Emily captured every moment of our wedding in the most perfect way. She took the time to learn what was important and special to Wade and I, she listened to all of our ideas and our hopes for our gallery and what we received was so much more than expected.

Emily captured us, our families, our venue, our guests and our details so beautifully. She captured so many moments and views we did not expect such as the gardens, certain groups of our guests, flowers and so many little touches that remind us of the greatest memories from our wedding.

Emily was prompt and professional but also fun and very creative. Emily delivered our engagement session gallery and our wedding gallery sooner than expected with such attention to detail. Our photos are so special to us and our families, we could not imagine our day without Emily!

Wedding photos!

Emily & Brandon were absolutely wonderful. They took amazing photos of our wedding that are beyond beautiful. They captured every detail we wanted & so much more! They were a pleasure to have around as well. Remaining professional but matching the energy of the bridal party & guests. I love that they shared our enthusiasm for our vision and brought it to life!
I cannot speak highly enough of the experience or of the results in the photos! I would highly recommend them for any special event.

5 stars- highly recommend

Peper Love Photography provides hands down the best quality service one can ask for. Emily photographed our engagement pictures, wedding photos and we love her so much we sought her out to do our maternity photos as well despite us having moved out of the state. Emily is a step above all the rest and always goes the extra mile; to give you some insight Emily helped me apply my fake lashes for my wedding #covidwedding. Emily has a great vision, she is creative and even for my husband and I who are not people who are usually comfortable in front of the camera….with Emily we had a BLAST. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Personable, Professional, Captured every special moment.

Having Emily as your photographer is like having your long lost friend hiding around every corner capturing all of the most perfect moments of your life. Emily is the perfect mix of professional and laid back. She helped my husband and I dress for our engagements and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. She is great about helping pick outfits and showing you how to pose. Our wedding day would not have been what it was without Emily. She treasured every moment with us and helped us to protect special moments between the 2 of us. She helped me to have the most special moment honoring my dad who passed away when I was 7. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Emily. Every day I walk past a wedding canvas in my house, I am again thankful for her and how she captured our special day! Book Emily…..it will be the easiest decision on your big day!

We Keep Coming Back Clients

Emily made us both feel so confident in front of the camera. She takes time to get to know you, so she can get that personal touch to all of your photos. I have gone back to her for family photos and am always looking for a reason to get in front of her camera again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
