Our approach to wedding photography is a little bit different…
CANDID + TIMELESS
What’s the goal? For us, it is capturing real, unscripted moments as they happen instead of stiff, forced, fake moments that feel awkward. Capturing the candid makes sure your final photos are a true reflection of your real wedding, the way it truly happened - but make it art.
NATURAL POSING + GUIDANCE
“Okay, now lift your left pinky finger 4 centimeters and don’t move” isn’t the vibe. Rather than stiff and unnatural poses, our couples are guided into natural movements that highlight connection and personality. We don’t leave you hanging to pose yourself, but create a relaxed, comfortable environment that creates the best candid images that feel undeniably like you.
TRUE STORYTELLING
Your wedding day isn’t our photoshoot. Instead, your biggest day ever day is approached by quietly anticipating key moments, being in the right place at the right time, and focusing on both the big events and the small, intimate details to create a full story that you can share with your kids one day. And their kids. And maybe their kids. Your final gallery should flow seamlessly, without missing moments or details, like your favorite book.
EDITORIAL INFLUENCE
We use creative lighting techniques, high end posing and framing and timeless editing techniques to elevate your candid shots, bringing a high end, editorial feel to the documentary shooting style. It’s a great balance if you love both posed and unposed! We want to keep your wedding day real, by intervening only when needed to enhance a photo or direct you to keep you comfortable while still returning a gallery that is wall hanging, brag to all your friends, worthy.

OUR PHILOSOPHY.
We don’t just show up with a camera - we show up with intention, experience, and a deep understanding of how a wedding day actually feels.
We have photographed hundreds of weddings, which means we know how to anticipate moments before they happen, stay calm when timelines shift, and step in when things get chaotic so you don’t have to.
EMP couples don’t worry about missed moments, awkward posing, or wondering if something was captured. They get to be fully present, knowing everything is being handled.
Our approach is a blend of documentary storytelling and refined, editorial imagery. We will guide you when you need it and disappear when you don’t. The result is images that feel effortless, emotional, and honest, not stiff or over-produced, while still looking elevated and timeless.
Beyond the photos, we are a resource. From planning guidance and vendor insight to timeline flow and real-world wedding advice, we help our couples navigate the day with confidence. We know how to work seamlessly with planners, venues, and families, and advocate for what matters most: your experience.
When you look back at your images, we want you to feel the laughter, the nerves, the quiet in-between moments, and the joy… not just remember what it looked like, but what it felt like.
If you value trust, ease, and storytelling over trends and want a photographer who truly has your back, you’re in the right place, friend.
