"Emma helped us choose our elopement hike by scouting out locations and providing feedback from a photographer's point of view. We met Emma in person for the very first time on the day of the ceremony. Despite it being pitch black outside, she was so bubbly, friendly, and excited to be there! It really felt like we had known her forever and that she was just one of our closest friends accompanying us on our hike."

you can count on.
All are welcomed, celebrated, and repected here. I believe that the outdoors is for everybody regardless of race, orientation, gender expression or physical ability. And that everyone deserves a beautiful wedding experience.
Respect the outdoors so that others and ourselves can enjoy outdoor recreation for the years to come. I ask all clients to sign on Leave No Trace principles in our contract together.
I promise to give every single client an experience that was worthy of their investment. Listening well, giving expert elopement consulting, and creating imagery that you will cherish forever are values that I do not go back on.

HELLO!
My name is Emma (she/her) and I'm an adventure elopement photographer based out of seattle, washington.
I document love stories in Washington state and all over the globe. I love spending my time in the outdoors hiking and reveling in Washington’s landscapes, warming my feet by campfires, and my dream is to own a flower farm on the San Juan Islands one day. And yes, my last name really is Studley. 🙃
In my small business, it is my honor to provide a tailored elopement experience to those who come my way, listening to your needs — consulting with you as a lifelong Washington native and elopement creative, and creating imagery that will move you, stemming from a collaborative process that makes you feel known and creating a comfortable space for you to be yourselves on your wedding day.
You are unique. And so should be your celebration of your partnership.
