Hi, I’m Emily

documenting honest love stories for the wildly in love

I’m a 20 something, Minnesota-based wedding and elopement photographer always on the run to my next adventure. I drink too much coffee, practice hot yoga daily, hold a deep appreciation for denim jackets and can usually be found with my hair on top of my head in a pair of leggings just living this crazy, weird, beautiful life. I am completely obsessed with chips and salsa, cheesy food, road trips, camping, traditions, family get-togethers, my mothers banana bread, Sunday dinners at home, county fairs, and country music. Oh, and my hot husband. I just married the sweetest man on the planet and this season of life has been so full of change, love, peace and excitement. I was just there doing the same thing you’re doing right now, and I’m here to help you every step of the way and tell your story the way it deserves to be told and documented.

I cannot wait to tag along on this beautiful journey with you.

HERE’S MY STORY

I have been an artist my entire life, from the moment I could hold a pencil.

I bought my first camera with no intention of making it my career. I was a senior in high school and decided to spend all of my graduation money on a camera, and my whole world changed. I can still remember documenting my first wedding like it was yesterday. That day changed my whole life and what I wanted my life to be. From there, there was no turning back.

Now here I am, several years and thousands of photos later, living a life I never could have dreamed of. “Dream Job” is a total an understatement. I feel so incredibly blessed and humbled each and every day to do something I’m so passionate about that allows me to meet some of the sweetest people along the way. There is nothing I would rather do with this sweet life of mine. I mean that with my whole heart.

HERE’S MY HEART

I don’t just want to take your photos. I want to document your life, your personalities, your love, your laugh, the way you see the world, the way your heart beats when you stand next your love. I want to laugh with you over coffee (or wine), run, joke, get goofy right alongside you, and truly understand who you are, and what makes you the beautiful, radiant, perfect human beings that I am so blessed to work with. I want the real, the raw, the authentic. I want each and every one of my clients to be able to scroll through their gallery, page through their wedding album or pick up a photograph, and instantly go right back to exactly how they were feeling in those moments. The uncontrollable laughter, the way the wind felt on their faces, the unscripted moments, and the immense amount of love. I want to know you, every part of you, and truly tell your story in the purest, most authentic way possible.

If this makes your heart sing, get in touch with me and let’s do this adventure together!

I cannot wait to meet you, and document your story.
