I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

We are so thankful that Emily captured our wedding day! She is a dream to work with and we love her style of photography as her photos will truly last a lifetime. Emily captured all of the amazing moments so we can relive one of the best days over and over again. She will forever be our photographer for all the big moments in our lives to hopefully a future maternity, family photos and so much more! We will recommend and refer anyone to her :) thank you always, Emily!

Please request a full gallery to truly see the depth of my photography. Unfortunately portraits are extremely compressed on this platform. I do love capturing people in all their forms. In Love, happiness, and excitement and so many other moments in life. Each session is a literal reminder of this amazing life that we live. From the moment you sign on with me we get to work. If you have a coordinator I will immediately reach out & work with them to make sure we work as a team. I also have a list of vendors and venues if you need any suggestions. The ultimate goal is to provide you the best media possible for your day

Awarded Best of Zola
Hello, My fiancé and I hired William to be the photographer for not only our engagement shoot but our wedding day as-well. My fiancé is extremely shy, so one of my fears when looking for a photographer was that he wouldn’t feel comfortable and our photos would reflect his discomfort. Thankfully, William is extremely kind and made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable. His work is not only breath tanking but he also makes you feel truly special every step of the way. William is very understanding and wants to ensure that you get the best most memorable shots. He truly makes you feel like your day is his top priority through the entirety of his working relationship with you. If you are looking for beautiful photos and a caring photographer i 100% recommended William and his team for your wedding.

I'm not just a photographer - I'm your calm in the chaos, your timeline wrangler, and your personal hype woman. I am a documentary-style photographer with a soft spot for messy hair, golden light, and real connection. I’m here for the wildly in love who want their day captured honestly with a touch of editorial magic. My approach is laid-back but intentional — think more feeling, less stiff posing.

If you're planning a wedding full of meaning, movement, and magic, I already love you. Let’s make some art out of your best day ever.

I cannot recommend Nick enough! He did both our engagement and wedding photos. He is incredibly talented at what he does! He listens and is super patient. (At the time, we had a wiggly 4 year old daughter that he understood had a limited attention span!) We didn't want a ton of still shots of us...and he still managed to get the most important ones on our wedding day. He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too! We plan to use Nick throughout the years as our family grows...thank you so much for locking our most precious day in time!

Paul Mark was the best wedding photographer we could’ve ever asked for. Our wedding looked 10x more beautiful through his lens. Literally. He really took the time to get to know my husband and me beforehand to figure out our styles and get a feel for us as a couple. We genuinely feel as though he’s one of our friends now! His editing and overall vision is incomparable. He is so SO talented. In simpler terms, he’s just the best. I would 10000% 10/10 recommend. Our photos look like they belong in a magazine! Thank you again, Paul, for everything! You’re great!!

We are so happy with the results! We’re also so glad we did an engagement shoot prior to our wedding.
