PHOTOGRAPHY by real journalists
because the best stories are told through a lens .
why us?
Attainable luxury
A high end experience at an attainable price point with packages starting at $3,000.
There are a lot of things worth skimping on - your photography shouldn’t be one of those things.
photo + film team
Our small, dedicated, in-house team of photographers + videographers all work together for all of our couples.
We’ve got each others backs, so that we can have yours.
true docu-style
With a style rooted in real journalism, we focus on telling a story rather than making your wedding day a photoshoot - all the while making you totally comfortable behind the camera when it’s called for. Sometimes we even pull out the 35mm film.
We are looking for couples like you…
We don’t book with just anyone, but are searching for couples who share our vision. Couples who love real, wispy, wild floral arrangements, have a thing for black and white, get nostalgic over vintage film, and are obsessed with the warm glow of golden hour. Couples who value their family and friends above all else and want their wedding day to reflect their love, passion, attention to detail and connection. Couples who want to trust their photographer and rely on their vision for the day.
And of course, couples who appreciate the art of documentary storytelling through a lens.
500+ Happy couples + Bangin' weddings captured since 2015
Hi, I’m emily michelle
Ever really had a big life regret? Want to hear mine? I graduated high school, moved out, took out hella student loans, and went to 3.75 years of college majoring in journalism. Why only 3.75 years? I dropped out. Half a semester before graduation.
I loved my major, I really did. And I was good at it. But, the media world wasn’t for me. It was too rough and cut throat and it hurt too many people. There was no love involved - just getting the next story without truly slowing down to tell it or connect with the people behind it.
I didn’t know what I wanted as a broke (ex) college student, but I just knew wanted to tell stories and I loved to document life, so I started photographing couples I knew.
Then a few of those couples asked me to capture their wedding.
Then more couples started asking me to photograph their weddings.
And I thrived.
Then I had so many weddings, I had to hire help. So I taught the people I trusted, my closest family and best friends, everything I had learned about people, journalism, life and stories, and handed them a camera.
And a little while later, a few more photographers and videographers because people just keep asking us to photograph their weddings, and here we are. Emily Michelle Photo Co.
All built by a little drop out journalist who loves stories, but also really loves love.
Maybe not so much of a regret, after all.
