Emma Studley
The Photographer
Hi, I’m Emma.
I photograph swanky parties for really fun people, and I believe I have the best job in the world.
My approach to wedding photography is nuanced. At times I will lean into observation-mode, keenly watching for emotion-packed moments to unfold. Other times, I will step in as a creative director to ensure you look and feel your best. I think of it as being the director of a documentary. The goal is to tell the story with the utmost truth, but to do it in a way that is visually compelling. I pride myself of knowing when to step into each role during the singular moments of a wedding experience.
I am inspired by your love and the tender moments you will have together on your wedding day. I am equally moved by a deep sense of community, bold fashion choices, world travels and lively parties. I believe it all can be documented and threaded together in a storied, artful manner.
I studied photojournalism in Rome, Italy through the University of Washington. That is where my work began. I loved photographing humans, architecture, nature... and now I get to do that for a living. I feel quite lucky.
When I am not at a wedding, you can find me teaching and practicing yoga, making meals with my people, and planning my next getaway.
About Emma

"We couldn't be more thrilled about our wedding photos. Emma is exceptionally talented at producing the most ethereal, warm, natural looking photos that capture the essence of a place deeply. We were obsessed with her work before hiring her but fell in love with her as a person while working with her on our wedding day."

Testimonial
I promise to give every single client an experience that is worthy of their investment. I do not take your trust lightly. I will listen to you well, give insight based on my expertise, and ultimately deliver photos that will serve as a cherished heirloom for the years and generations to come.
The client comes first. Always. My ego is at the door, and you have full autonomy over the way that you want your wedding experience to feel. If that means skipping an "epic shot" so you can spend more time with loved ones during cocktail hour, I am nothing but thrilled to see you exercising your values in that moment.
All are welcomed, celebrated, and respected here. I believe that the celebration of marriage is for everybody regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender expression, physical ability, or anything else that makes a person uniquely them.
