About Emily Martens

Emily Martens

Photographer

Emily is a Hudson Valley based couples & wedding photographer. Her philosophy in photography is that a genuine connection with the couples she works with are the key to intimate, emotional photographs. She’s drawn to capturing honest images; pictures that aren’t just pretty but tell real stories about real couples.

She shies away from the traditional style of wedding photography that is so often forced and lacking natural emotion. Instead, she creates a space for true connection so she can document those spontaneous reactions; your playfulness, joy, intimacy and everything in-between.

    I was overwhelmed when navigating how to choose a wedding photographer. I knew I wanted someone whose work accurately reflected the day and the people photographed, what better way than choose someone who had photographed me beautifully at a wedding! Emily was the photographer at my now SIL & BIL’s wedding. I loved her editing style and her speed of getting the right picture. I have never really loved how I look in photos, and I am hardly in front of the camera. At our engagement photoshoot at home, Emily made me feel completely at ease, and really captured great angles and unique ideas! Not only did I love how she photographed me, but I loved that it was honest. Emily shot our welcome party and our wedding. It was like see an old friend! Our guests were in awe of the photos and loved Emily’s personality. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and possibly the most gorgeous I have ever attended, I am so glad I trusted Emily to capture the memories! What will not be shared on her public gallery are all the photos of our nieces and nephews! Emily photographed my SIL & BIL at our wedding and it was so heart warming and deeply meaningful! She was able to capture all the squirming kids in a fun way! She is truly talented and I am so grateful to have these memories for life!

    We absolutely loved working with Emily for our wedding! After doing an engagement shoot with her a year ago, it felt so natural to pick up right where we left off. She has an incredible eye, and we truly can’t stop looking at the stunning photos she captured—they’re everything we hoped for and more, and that was only the sneak peaks! (Of which there were over 100, the Monday after our wedding)! Emily made us feel completely at ease throughout the day and was warm, calm, and professional from start to finish. She was also incredibly communicative and available throughout the entire process, which gave us so much peace of mind. She worked seamlessly with our videographer and our venue. We’re so grateful to have had her document such a special moment in our lives. Highly, highly recommend!

We appreciated her recommendations on our timeline and her flexibility as we added hours to her services after signing the contract. On the day of, Emily made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, ensuring we have stunning, authentic photos to cherish forever. We highly recommend Emily Martens to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer to document their big day.

    Emily was an absolute joy to work with. She was responsive when communicating, encouraging, kind and thoughtful. She made sure our ideas were heard and implemented. She also offered her expertise where we were unsure. Emily made us feel extremely comfortable and was instrumental in making our day the perfection it was. Her photography style is beautiful and we are in pure awe of how our pictures came out. We would absolutely recommend Emily over and over again.
