   My approach is a blend of photojournalism and editorial. While I love to play the "fly on the wall" for a majority of the day -- paying attention to the more subtle moments -- I will also direct you during your portraits to ensure you feel and look your very best. Much of this direction stems from movement, and cues that will allow you to feel more at ease. I also pride myself on walking the line of taking our time for creativity + variety, while also being swift enough to get you back to your guests.

I utilize both digital + film mediums to capture wedding days. We can discuss more of what this looks like on our discovery call.

Places I'd love to shoot your wedding or elopement for no travel fees (within reason, and availability depending)

Inquire

Anywhere that makes sense. If it fits into my travel and/or currently schedule of work, I am always down to go to new places with my couples.

Will you go just about anywhere?

It wouldn't be the first time I've traveled somewhere new to me for a shoot. As someone who frequently travels, I'm not thrown off by new places, and I know how to best research and prepare myself for success.

In all honesty, I believe going to new places is where I experience the most creative growth as a photographer. Seeing a place with fresh eyes has evoked some of my favorite images I've ever taken. 

What if you haven't been to our destination before?

Yes, however I am priced all-inclusively, so you only need to focus on making the one payment, and I will handle booking my own flights + accommodations, etc. 

For certain destinations, I am willing to discuss absorbing the travel fee if it makes sense for me (and I am ever so grateful when work allows me to travel). Let's have a conversation about what working together could look lile.

Do we pay for your travel?

It depends. I do work with second photographers often, especially if I am incorporating a lot of film and could use some extra hands on deck. I have a few seconds that are my go-to's, and we would simply have a conversation about what their rate is for travel weddings. I will do all the sourcing + vetting here to ensure you have the best team possible to document your day.

Do we need a second shooter for our wedding abroad?

Of course. Just say the word.

Are payment plans available?

Frequent Questions

"My husband and I eloped in June 2022 in the Italian Dolomites. Emma asked great questions and provided abundant example itineraries to keep us on track and guide us to devising a wedding day vision we adored and felt was "us". Working with Emma felt like how wedding planning SHOULD feel--bursting with possibility and excitement, with 100% focus on designing our most fun day to celebrate our love. No idea was too crazy, and Emma was not only down for anything but genuinely pumped for it all!

Beyond that initial feeling of magic and fate, for me there were a few key reasons why we felt comfortable working with Emma.

 1. Skill. Have you SEEN her work? She's an incredible artist, and we loved her style in capturing the beauty of the natural landscape and also the realness of the elopements she's photographed.
 2. Personality. Emma is just a truly wonderful human, and we knew from our first phone call that we'd get along great with her. She shares a lot of our key values (e.g., Leave No Trace), is adventurous and outdoorsy, and is a positive, fun, easygoing person that we could tell we'd enjoy hanging out with!
 3. Experience. Although she'd never been to the exact location we were targeting before, she had extensive experience with mountain elopements and all the uncertainty and adaptability that that entails and requires.

We got back our full gallery a few weeks ago, and everyone I've shared the photos with has commented with "wow, you got an amazing photographer!!" Beyond those stunning photographs is the even more important memories, not just of the truly once in a lifetime experiences shared but also how Emma was the ultimate friend and support system, from the little things like jumping in to help me with my flyaway veil in crazy alpine winds to the big things like keeping me calm and centered as we had to adjust on-the-fly from our tightly orchestrated plan A to plan B due to thunderstorms. Emma is a true champion at expectation setting AND in making the absolute best of whatever situation may arise. She helped us remain eyes open to all the incredible beauty of the day--clouds and all. Emma's photos of our wedding day are so raw and beautiful, and we will treasure them and our wonderful elopement memories for the rest of our lives."
