DESTINATION & U.S. WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi! I’m Emily.
The woman behind the lens—and the visionary heart behind Elle Studios.

Photography has always been more than an art form for me; it’s a calling. With over a decade of experience, I’ve learned that love stories are not just meant to be captured, but felt—preserved with the reverence they deserve. Creating beauty is my gift. Telling your story with depth, intention, and artistry is my purpose.

My brand is the soul of who I am—rooted in intention, guided by God, and anchored in radical self-trust. It’s where deep feeling meets unwavering authenticity, a reflection of a life fully lived and deeply aligned. Every image I create is infused with purpose, carrying both my heart and my vision within it.

Working with couples during one of the most sacred chapters of their lives is an honor I hold with deep gratitude. My approach is effortless yet intentional: I craft elevated, artful, magazine-worthy moments—dripping in romance, sophistication, and soul. I offer a calming, intuitive presence, providing gentle guidance when needed, and trusting the organic, unscripted magic to unfold when words are no longer necessary.

All you have to do is be present.

My values define my work.

  • I deeply care about my clients’ experience, listen to their needs, and tailor my approach to create a seamless, stress-free, and memorable process. I understand that no two couples are alike, and I take pride in putting my clients at the center of everything I do. I ensure you feel seen, heard, and valued every step of the way.

    I’ll curate a timeline that gives us space to create. Photographs are the most important piece of your day that you’ll have forever. So it’s imperative that we slow things down and hold space for moments to unfold and creativity to flow. This allows you to feel more present with your partner, and me to make art in a relaxed atmosphere.

  • I bring a high level of professionalism, precision, and a collaborative spirit to every wedding I photograph. I take the time to truly listen to your ideas, understand your vision, and provide creative suggestions to elevate the overall aesthetic. Every detail matters, and I’m dedicated to ensuring your vision is thoughtfully reflected in the final result.

    Open communication is central to my process, giving you the confidence to express your desires and expectations freely. My couples often highlight the calming presence I bring, allowing them to feel supported and at ease throughout every step of the journey. By focusing on the little things that matter most, I help create a seamless and meaningful experience, where every detail contributes to a day that’s uniquely yours.

  • Authenticity is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that the most meaningful photos are those that tell the genuine story of a couple—unfiltered and unapologetically real. My goal is not to create a version of your day that feels staged or overly polished but to capture the emotions, moments, and interactions as they naturally unfold, while stepping in to offer direction and guidance as much as you need it.

    Whether it’s the quiet, intimate glance exchanged during the vows or the uncontrollable laughter shared on the dance floor, I focus on preserving the raw, beautiful truths of the day. I understand that every couple is unique, and I strive to celebrate your individuality by showcasing your love story in a way that feels true to who you are.

    This value extends beyond the images themselves; it’s also reflected in how I approach my work. I embrace open communication and genuine relationships with my clients, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and understood.

  • My work embodies a balance of luxury, romance, and storytelling, creating a style that feels both sophisticated and deeply personal. Elegance isn’t just about beautiful settings or glamorous details—it’s about crafting images that evoke a sense of refinement and emotional depth. I aim to deliver galleries that feel effortlessly polished, capturing moments that are as stunning as they are meaningful.

    Timelessness is central to my artistry. While trends in wedding photography may come and go, I prioritize a style that will resonate just as strongly decades from now as it does today. My approach to posing, lighting, and composition ensures each image feels intentional and enduring, free of fleeting fads or over-editing. Every image is carefully curated so you can revisit your photos and relive your day with the same awe and joy for years to come.

    This commitment to elegance and timelessness extends to the full experience I offer. From crafting thoughtfully designed timelines to delivering bespoke keepsakes like custom albums, I ensure that every interaction and final product reflects the same level of artistry and care. Ultimately, my work doesn’t just preserve memories—it transforms them into lasting treasures that feel both luxurious and deeply sentimental.

  • I approach every wedding with a deep sense of empathy and a desire to connect with my couples on a meaningful level. I understand that these moments are deeply personal, and I take the time to get to know each couple’s unique story. By building this trust and connection, I’m able to capture the emotions that matter most—the quiet excitement before the ceremony, the tearful embrace of a parent, the laughter that fills the air during toasts.

    Your images aren’t just a reflection of what your day looked like—they’re a testament to how it felt. This emotional connection is also what drives my passion for photography as an art form. I value the gift of being able to create something that not only tells a story but also stirs feelings and preserves the legacy of love. Serving as a bridge between the present and the past, offering a tangible way to revisit the joy of your wedding day for years to come.

  • I am passionate about love stories first and foremost, a true romantic at heart. Art, music, fashion, films, design and travel are my biggest sources of inspiration. I photographed my very first wedding in 2009, and it has been my true love ever since.Item description
