Let's Draft Up Your Love Story

Who do you want to be present on your day? Is it just the two of you or will your closest loved ones tag along for the adventure? This is extremely important and must be authentic to you and your relationship. Luckily there are no expectations here on who you should have present. It's entirely up to you!

the who

What will your day be about? Are there any activities or meaningful things you'd like to include? This is where you get to be intentional about how you experience your day! Do you want to savor the small moments laughing with your loved ones? Are your vows a large chapter of your story? Is it the connection and unique activities you love to do with your partner? 

the what

Where do you want to spend your day? Are you more of a homebody? Do you want to have an intimate ceremony at a cozy air bnb with a private dinner? Or are you more adventurous? Do you prefer hiking to your favorite peak for an epic view? Maybe you go full “The Notebook” vibe and choose to have a lakeside vow exchange and take a boat ride into the morning fog…The setting sets the mood and you have full control over this!

the where

The time of year will set the vibe for your day! Luckily for us in Upstate NY we have four seasons, all of which have their own mood. Springtime flowers? Summertime lakes? Fall Foliage in the mountains? Winters’ snowfall amongst the pines? Whatever time of the year it is, your story will be sure to evoke that feeling!

the when

Why are you choosing to elope or have a smaller wedding? Is it because your souls belong to the wild? Maybe you're not close with family. Are you introverted? Do you want the day to be entirely yours? Maybe you can’t imagine getting married without your closest family and friends. Or maybe you want to be able to remember your story years from now as something that was true to you. Whatever the case is…its entirely yours.

the why

How will we make this happen? It’s simple! I will help plan an authentic in-the-moment wedding day by intentionally listening to your ideas and desires so that your story is documented just the way you dreamed of.

the how

let me be your author

Hey Im Emily

Your dorky, short friend, who will be your adventure guide and Photographer on your wedding day! With 10+ years of experience hiking in the Adirondack mountains and 7 years of Law Enforcement under my belt I will be sure that not only are you safe and taken care of but that you have the most thrilling and fun time of your life on your wedding day. Many people say that I make this process easy, comfortable and fun!

And that's the goal, I won't be that in your face photographer who is pushy and demanding. You can expect me to be in the bushes somewhere, capturing all of the little moments from afar and smiling at my camera like a weirdo. You won't even know I'm there. 

I use the word "author" interchangeably with "photographer" to describe what I am for you on your wedding day. Because not only will I be telling your story through my lens but I will be drafting your story with you so that your day can be unique to you. 

author perks

included with every package

Based on your answers to my in depth questionnaire I will carefully scout locations for your day such as air bnb’s, hikes, venues, and photo locations! Once I have a couple I think you’d like I will provide you with a location guide and from there you can choose your desired locations!

Customized Location Scouting

Day of Planning

Based on your answers to my in depth questionnaire of what you would like to include in your wedding day I will help plan a timeline of events to keep you on track! With this planning I will also provide vendor recommendations for things such as flowers, attire, food, officiant and music! 

Activity Planning

After some chit chatting about your dream wedding day and the questionnaires that will be provided, I will get a better idea of what you and your partner like to do together! With this in mind I will be able to help plan some activities that you may want to include on your wedding day such as kayaking, a helicopter ride, a museum visit, getting ice cream, fishing or cliff jumping! 

Constant Communication

I will never leave you hanging. I hate it when I text someone when I need information on something extremely important and I don’t get a response. This often leaves us anxious and worrisome. When it comes to your wedding day I will make sure you get the constant communication that you need to feel secure, seen and stress free. 

Officiant & Acquisition

Want an extra intimate ceremony with minimal people? No worries, I am an ordained officiant in NYS and could also be your witness if need be. If you would like someone else who is specialized in officiating I can provide assistance with finding someone that fits your personality! Worried about what you need to do in order to get married and subsequent permits that may be needed? I got you! I’ll help you navigate all of this.

Photography Services

And of course the most important part I will be there every step of the way photographing your special day. My photography offers a candid approach. I will be a fly on the wall, set back giving you space to just be present in the moment. Bold, emotional and colorful images that reflect your day your way! You will receive an online digital gallery of your images for download with full printing rights. You will also have the option to purchase additional images once you receive your full gallery. 

Travel and Expenses

Travel is included in all of my elopement and wedding packages. No hidden fees attached.

Emily made us feel comfortable & natural in front of the camera

We had a really fun short couples session and Emily made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She is very personable and sweet! Highly recommend working with her.

Maigan & Zach

She made us feel completely at ease and relaxed. No pressure, just great vibes

From the moment we started discussing plans until she delivered our gallery, Emily was a gem to work with. We aren't very comfortable being photographed and wanted to keep our special moment small and intimate. She made us feel completely at ease and relaxed. No pressure, just great vibes. Her energy helped us all get up the mountain. Even though our little elopement felt like a whirlwind day, and I'm so glad to have Emily's amazing photos to look back on. The hard part will be deciding which to put on our wall!!

Sara & BLAISE

She makes the experience so fun and easy!

I’ve now had 3 photo sessions with Emily and she is the BEST! I highly recommend anyone looking for professional photographs to go to her! She makes the experience so fun and easy! My boyfriend hates his picture taken but always says he has a great time when Emily is taking our pictures. Can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding someday!!

She walked us through the entire photo shoot perfectly

Such a comforting experience, I never felt awkward or like I didn’t know what I should do. She walked us through the entire photoshoot perfectly, while still using our ideas too. I recommend her more than I could explain!!
