For the Uncommon Love

You’re not looking for cookie-cutter photos or a one-size fits-all experience.

You want something real. Something artful. Something that feels like you.

This is for the couple who isn’t just planning a wedding—they’re building a story worth remembering.

The couple who wants photographs that reflect the way their love actually feels—bold, electric, quiet, sacred.

The couple who wants to stand out—not just for the dress or the details, but for the energy they bring, the way they show up for each other, and the life they’re creating together.
You want to be seen. You want your story told honestly. You want photos that mean something.

That’s what I’m here for. 

Collections listed below.

“The best decision we made for our wedding”

I’ve always felt awkward in photos, and my husband usually hates having his picture taken—but Emily made us feel so relaxed and genuinely ourselves. The photos are stunning. They’re creative and still somehow feel totally real. We had a small wedding in Green Bay and didn’t think we needed anything fancy, but I’m so glad we chose her. She helped us build a timeline, scouted the best spots, and made everything feel effortless. And the nighttime portraits? Unreal. She had set up lights behind us and lit sparklers—it looked like a movie scene. Hands down one of our favorite memories from the whole day.

What It’s Like To Work With Me

12 Years of Wedding Experience — You’re in Good Hands

With over a decade of weddings behind me, I’ve seen just about everything—and I know how to adapt, stay calm, and keep things flowing no matter what the day brings. My approach is intentional, flexible, and built to make photography one of the easiest (and most fun!) parts of your wedding experience. We'll plan ahead, go with the flow, and make magic without the stress.

Custom Timeline & Planning Assistance​

Every couple receives a thoughtfully crafted wedding day timeline and a customized family photo checklist to ensure no moment or memory is missed. Together, we’ll design a flow that prioritizes what matters most to you—built around the best lighting, your unique energy, and a pace that feels calm and intentional. My goal is to help your day unfold seamlessly and be even more magical than you imagined.

Nighttime Portraits Like You’ve Never Seen

When the sun goes down, the magic really begins.

Using a mix of cinematic lighting techniques, we’ll create stunning nighttime portraits that feel like something out of a dream. Whether it’s sparklers, bubbles, rain, fog, or even fire, I use continuous light to paint the atmosphere and flash to freeze the moment — giving your images depth, emotion, and a touch of drama. These portraits have become my signature; they’re a quiet, glowing pause in the middle of the celebration — a moment just for you, lit by creativity, and maybe a few stars.

Your Photos, Delivered Beautifully

You’ll receive a full gallery of professionally edited, high-resolution images—delivered in an easy-to-use online gallery so you can view, download, share, and print with ease. Every package includes: 1-hour pre-wedding planning consultation, online gallery with at least 200 high-resolution, edited images, personal-use print rights for all delivered images. Add-ons like engagement sessions, extra coverage, or heirloom albums are available to customize your experience—and are already included in some packages.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

Many photographers may show a low price up front but will add on hidden fees and require you to purchase the photos after the wedding. We are fully transparent right from the beginning.

 

What you see is what you pay.

There are no hidden costs and no required minimum spend after the wedding. Print your photos at any establishment of your choice—no restrictions. You can download all your photos and they are yours to keep forever.

COLLECTIONS

Every celebration is different—your photography coverage should be too. All wedding packages can be fully customized to fit your day, your timeline, and your vision.

Elopements

Eloping means less stress, more intimacy, and more time to truly enjoy your day. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small gathering of loved ones, an elopement allows you to be present in the moment while still celebrating in style.

With hourly coverage, I capture every meaningful moment so you can fully enjoy your day, knowing your story is being preserved. Whether it’s a mountaintop vow exchange, a courthouse ceremony, or an intimate backyard celebration, your love deserves to be documented in a way that feels uniquely yours.

Elopements begin at 1400.

Engagements

An engagement session is more than just beautiful photos—it’s a chance to connect, get comfortable in front of the camera, and build trust before the big day. These sessions help ease any camera nerves and give you space to practice posing in a way that feels natural and relaxed.

They also capture this exciting chapter of your story with intention—perfect for save-the-dates, invitations, or simply as a keepsake to look back on for years to come.


Some of our wedding packages include an engagement session.

The Process
HOW IT WORKS 
THE PROCESS
1
Connect
First, we set up a in-person consultation to go over your wedding details, timeline, and expectations. I want to hear your story—how you met, what makes your love unique—so I can capture your day authentically. 
3
The Big Day
This is the fun (and sometimes chaotic) part—but don’t worry, I’ll be there to capture every moment beautifully. By this time, all payments will be completed, so you can focus on enjoying the day with no extra tasks on your plate.
2
Engagement Session
After contracts are signed and down payments paid, we’ll schedule your engagement session- optional -  and start planning the perfect location and outfits. It’s a great way to shake off any nerves, get comfortable in front of the camera, and have fun before the big day.
4
The Waiting
After the wedding, you’ll be unwinding—whether on your honeymoon or just soaking in the calm after months of planning. I’ll work quickly to deliver your images, with a typical turnaround time of 4 weeks.

FAQ's
  • How Many Hours of Photography Do I Need?
    Every wedding is different, so the hours you need will depend on what moments matter most to you. Some couples only want coverage for the ceremony and key moments, while others want the full story—from getting ready to the final send-off. To ensure we capture everything you envision, during our initial meeting I can help you build a timeline based on how long each part of the day typically takes. This not only helps with photography but also keeps your other vendors on track for a smooth, stress-free wedding day. If you're unsure, don't worry—we'll figure it out together!
  • Why do I need an Engagement Session?
    An engagement session is one of the first steps in your wedding photography journey and helps you get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. If you’re nervous about posing or feel like you’re not “photogenic,” this session is the perfect way to practice, loosen up, and find what feels natural. Plus, you’ll get beautiful photos to use for save-the-dates, invitations, or just as a keepsake of this special time in your life.
  • Do you travel for weddings?
    Yes, absolutely—I’m always up for an adventure! There’s no place too far when it comes to telling your love story. Travel is completely free for weddings anywhere in Wisconsin. If you’re planning a destination wedding or out-of-state celebration, I’ll work closely with you to keep travel costs as reasonable as possible.
  • How and when will we receive our wedding images?
    You’ll receive your fully edited wedding photos in a private online gallery, where you can easily view, download, and share them with family and friends. I work as quickly as possible to get your images back to you, with a typical turnaround time of 6 weeks. You also have the option to receive your images on a flash drive for safekeeping, which I can mail to you upon request.
  • Can We Order Prints or Albums from You?
    Absolutely. Once your digital gallery is delivered, you'll have the option to order high-quality prints, canvases, large format wall art, and custom photo albums directly through the gallery link. Everything is designed to make it easy to turn your favorite moments into beautiful, lasting keepsakes.
