About Emma Melin Studios

Emma Melin Studios

Documentary Wedding Photographer

Hey there, I'm Emma! I am an outgoing and free-spirited photographer living in Manhattan (but born & raised in the Midwest! My heart longs for creating art and telling remarkable stories. I love a good trip to the farmers market, a wine night with my friends, and spending time with my loved ones. Emma Melin Studios is queer-owned and is an inclusive wedding vendor!

Life is about enjoying the little things. Like dancing in the kitchen with your partner or breakfast in bed on a Sunday. My job is as your photographer to show you how these seemingly minuscule moments are something truly beautiful. Emma Melin Studios exists to preserve your most precious and beautiful moments, no matter how big or small.

    Emma was truly amazing - she is friendly, responsive and captured beautiful photos. For both our engagement session and the wedding day, she made us comfortable in front of the camera and really enjoy the photo process, which is something my husband and I were not expecting at all! She turnaround our previews so quickly, and each picture is better than the last. 10 stars out of 5!

    My partner and I heard about Emma through multiple channels, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that she was fated to capture our wedding. From the first discovery call, it was clear that Emma understood our vision for our wedding day and truly delivered down to the last detail. She’s a top-notch communicator and incredibly generous with her time and her work. We would readily recommend her to any couple looking for a photographic experience before, during, and after their wedding.

    Working with Emma was a dream! The photos of our day are so beautiful--and so authentic and genuine. Emma is so talented and great at understanding your vision and executing! She was also amazing at providing direction during the various shoots to make sure she got the shot. We loved working with her!

    Emma Melin Studios was a fantastic choice for my wedding photography. As a creative person, I had a specific vision for photos: I wanted cinematic, editorial, unconventional photos and no B.S.. Emma's strong artistic POV enhanced my vision. Her photos are reminiscent of my favorite filmmakers like Sofia Coppola but completely unique. Emma's communication style was casual and concise, making the process from planning to actually taking the photos seamless. Emma happily worked with our unconventional plan and tight timeline (held a reception a couple of months after a civil ceremony all within 9 months of getting engaged). At all events, Emma's approach with us, our families, and friends was thoughtful and playful, making everyone comfortable in front of the camera. The final photos from all of our sessions are truly breathtaking. They captured the joy and intimacy of our celebration in a way that exceeded my wildest expectations, which I cannot emphasize enough were very high. If you're considering booking Emma Melin, just do it. I honestly want to have another wedding so I can have more photos. I have never liked the way I've looked in photos, but Emma captured me in a way I love.
