Emily Belanger Photography

Hey, I'm Emily!

I’m an adventure junkie, nature addict, and firm believer that the best moments in life happen outside with the people who matter most. EDM music, thunderstorms, ocean waves, and anything that gets my adrenaline pumping fuels my soul. But more than anything, I thrive on capturing love stories that break the mold and helping couples create a day that’s truly theirs—no expectations, no obligations, just pure, unfiltered joy.

I got into elopement photography after planning my own elopement in the Adirondacks in just six weeks (because apparently, my ADHD and perfectionism thrive under pressure). My husband and I knew a big wedding wasn’t for us—we had just bought a house and wanted to do something that actually felt right, instead of stretching ourselves thin for everyone else. That experience made me realize just how freeing elopements can be, and now, I’m here to show couples that they don’t have to follow tradition just because it’s expected. Screw doing what everyone else does, it's time to say hell-yes to the best day of your lives and choose the road less followed!

Oh, and fair warning—I’ve got a pretty terrible sense of humor, but if you make a joke? There’s a solid chance it’ll go right over my head. Just smile and nod, and we’ll call it even.

Why the Adirondacks Inspire Me:

The summit brings a sense of freedom—no matter how grueling the climb, the reward is always worth it.

The silence isn’t empty; it’s peaceful, grounding, and exactly what your nervous system craves.

Nature humbles you, reminding you what truly matters.

The mountains create depth—not just in the landscape, but in how you feel when you’re there.

The views make you feel both at home and like you’ve stepped into a fairytale.

Standing on top of the world, you realize—you’re part of something much bigger.
