do everything

in love

You live in the moment while I capture the emotion, the planned moments, and the private interactions. I'm your wedding photographer that allows you to be present, have fun, and live your day honestly, exactly how you wanted it. 

Hey!I'm Emily

your south dakota wedding photographer.

I specialize in documentary style photography that allows me to capture your day through your eyes. Your gallery will include breath-taking photographs that radiate authenticity, candid pictures that capture your unique journey, and an in-depth account of your entire celebration, from the beginning to end.

when the memories fade,
you keep your moments forever. 

I don’t know if words can do justice to the quality of her work or more importantly her dedication to capturing the beauty of real feelings. Almost two years later, I’m going back through our pictures and experiencing the emotions of the day all over, plus seeing more and more of the tiny details she captured. Emily is truly remarkable. She was there from us from beginning to end.  Emily captures what you don’t even know you want to remember. Thank you, Emily!!!

kind words

She made my husband and I feel SO comfortable and confident. She worked with us every stepped of the way ensuring we were going to shine bright through our wedding photos. From the first time we FaceTimed I knew she was the one for us. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time we chatted to get to know each other. She will amp you up and calm you down. She will cheer you on and also get.the.shot.I can’t imagine what our wedding would have been like with any other photographer and we often joke that we’re just going to go back and do it over and over again because she made it so fun and manageable. 15/10 recommend.

By far the best decision I have made yet in the wedding planning process!! We used Emily for our engagement photos this month and I could not have asked for a better experience, photos, & all around amazing chick in my corner! She made us feel SO comfortable, it was as if we hangout with her all the time.   I truly struck gold finding this beyond talented beauty!
