Minnesota wedding photographer
Digital + film photographs that feel like home.
For the moments that deserve to be remembered well.
You do not need to perform here. You do not need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. My job is to create space for you to be fully present, and to document what naturally unfolds. I will guide you when it helps, and step back when it doesn't. The moments that matter most are usually the quiet ones. The way you look at each other. The way your child reaches for you. The way it all feels before it becomes a memory. That is what I'm here to preserve.
For those who know these moments matter.
For the legacy-minded.
For the quietly in-love.
I’ve always believed photographs are the closest thing we have to time travel. What began as a creative outlet quickly became a calling. I document love stories, growing families, and fleeting seasons with care and intention. My approach is calm, observant, and gently directive. Every moment matters, and I want to preserve the feelings that make your story yours.
When I'm not behind the camera, you will find me wandering coffee shops on slow mornings, exploring antique markets, or spending quiet weekends with friends and family. This work matters deeply to me because these moments matter deeply to you. I take pride in creating images that feel honest, timeless, and personal so that years from now you can relive exactly how it felt.
Here to document your beautiful story
Hey There, I'm Emily.
Let’s document your story together.
The moments you'll want to relive
over and over again...
My work is rooted in connection and composed with intention. I’m drawn to soft light, natural movement, and the quiet moments that often go unnoticed. The way your veil catches the wind, the squeeze of a hand, the look you share when no one else is watching. While trends come and go, I create imagery designed to feel beautiful decades from now. Honest, refined, and deeply personal, your story preserved with care.
Every session is about more than just photographs. It’s about creating an experience where you can be fully present, feel comfortable, and enjoy the moment without worrying about posing or perfection. I focus on the details that make your story yours and the connections that make your images feel alive. Years from now, I want these photos to bring you back to exactly how it felt.

An Intimate Mansion Elopement in Little Falls, Minnesota
Throughout our entire wedding day, Emily and Aaron continued to exceed our expectations. With their thoughtful approach and attentive listening skills, they made us feel like the most important couple in the world. They embraced our vision and executed it flawlessly, never imposing artificial poses but instead guiding us gently to create breathtaking shots that felt true to who we are as a couple. Emily and Aaron, thank you for capturing the essence of our love so beautifully. Your artistry and dedication have gifted us with precious memories that we will forever hold dear.
" Thank you for capturing the essence of our love so beautifully. "
We cannot thank Emily and Aaron enough for all the love, time, and attention to detail that they gave us at both our rehearsal dinner and wedding! We have also received numerous compliments about these two as they took time to introduce themselves both at the rehearsal dinner and at our wedding. Many of our guests commented how friendly and kind they both are. Our day would not have been complete without the two of them as we not only came away with great pictures and videos, but great friends as well.
" Highly recommend them both for all your photography and videography needs! "
We honestly cannot thank Emily and Aaron enough for capturing our day perfectly!! Watching the video and going through all the photos was just like reliving our day over again! Little moments that they were able to capture we can now remember for the rest of our lives! They were so so fun and easy to work with, and we are extremely grateful with all of their hard work! :) Not to mention the quick turnaround with ALL of the photos and video. It took us 3 hours just to look at them all once! We are so grateful for them! We highly recommend Emily and Aaron to any couple looking for a photographer for their wedding or any other special event.
