I’M EMILEE —

an Upstate NY wedding photographer based in the Finger Lakes Region who is passionate about creating a fun and comfortable photo experience for my couples! I genuinely love celebrating marriage, largely inspired by my own faith and marriage story, and most days you can find me squealing all-sorts-of-giddy behind my big camera! I believe that love is so much more than a feeling and that marriage points to something greater, something deeper – to Jesus Christ!

Meet your Upstate NY Wedding Photographer!

 

PLANNING A WEDDING IN THE FINGER LAKES REGION?

Let’s taaaaalk, my girl, because I’m so down with the dreaminess of weddings in the heart of Upstate New York!

Maybe you’re escaping from the hubbub of the city for a tranquil wedding in the countryside, or you’re planning an epic destination wedding in the city of your alma mater, and you want your day to be enveloped in:

  • An oasis of lush greenery

  • A canopy of treetops with gentle rolling hills

  • The natural beauty of Upstate NY’s finger lakes

I’m passionate about creating a fun, comfortable photo experience, and allowing your wedding photography to shine with your personality!

I believe that love is so much more than a FEELING.

I can hear the soundtrack of your wedding – the soft sobs during your first look, your hushed voice whispering, “I do,” and your band lowkey dropping those beats – but all of these fleeting moments will quickly pass without a photographer who sees you, vibes with you, and cultivates a down-to-earth environment for making art!

When emotions are soaring, the dance floor is pulsing, and your grandpa is absolutely shredding the dance floor, you need a photographer who will not only create images that feel like magic, but will make both you and your family remember the nostalgia of your wedding.

You need a hype girl to get you in the right headspace, a wedding coach to guide you into the absolute best photos, and a friend that will move you to cherish absolutely every second of your day.
