About this vendor
Hey! I’m Emily, (and Kyle is my middle name, in case you were curious). I'm your cat loving, adventure chasing, ride or die friend and photographer on your wedding day and beyond. I am all about the relaxed and real, here to preserve your moments, not poses. I want you to relive the heartbeat and the happily unplanned of your wedding or elopement day with your future family, over and over, which is why your love will be exquisitely, candidly, and genuinely captured, leaving you actually having fun instead of holding a cheesy smile.
I’m not here to just snap some pics on your wedding day & hightail it out right at the 8 hour mark only to send you an email with photos a few weeks later. You and I are in this- I mean you’re not marrying me, but we get close ;) From the minute you reach out, I'm all in on your story & there for you. Beforehand, we'll walk through all the details, 'what ifs' and write your timeline. On the big day, I'll be guiding and prompting you with things to say, do, touch, that will elicit genuine reactions and emotions from the two of you in your photos while having a great time. All you have to do is bring the love, laughs & revel in the present.
I'm Detroit-based with roots in Baltimore, Maryland and LOVE to travel, so I'll go anywhere your love takes you. My team of associates are also available for metro Detroit weddings and elopements.

We had an amazing experience with Emily! From the beginning discussions through our wedding day and even beyond, Emily has been the greatest to work with. Emily’s prompt and detailed communication throughout all of our video call meetings and every email discussing the details of the timeline was extremely helpful. She asked all of the right questions and provided us with guidance for so many aspects of the planning process. Early on, we met to discuss our goals for photography and what we were looking for. As we knew more about the venue, timeline, what family/bridal party photos we would like, and any important points that she needed to know, she was constantly communicating with us. We had so many compliments about her from our bridal party and family after our wedding day! We felt very at ease with her advice throughout the whole process. During the wedding day, she captured every single natural moment in addition to the structured group family and bridal party photos. We loved the photos she took of bridal details, getting ready, bridesmaid/groomsman group photos prior to the ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, couple, dinner, speeches, cake cutting, and reception, all of which she captured perfectly. When directing a big group, she was very respectful, calm, fun, and kept us on schedule. She found us a rainy photo location when the weather wasn’t great, which prevented what could have been a very stressful day. She continually checked in with and communicated with us throughout the wedding day. I was interested in taking photos on the Detroit riverwalk, and the day had gone by so quickly that she helped us stay on schedule by asking if we still wanted to take those photos! We received our preview a few days later, and then loved the gallery of photos once complete a few months later. I love that we have photos with all of our family members, best friends and bridal party, and of the multitude of moments throughout the day that we didn’t know we needed. We absolutely love her style of photography and can’t be happier with the photos we received and the experience with Emily during the planning process. We highly recommend Emily Kyle Photography!
I have always cared most about photography for my wedding and so was very thorough when choosing a photographer. Emily 100% delivered. We felt comfortable throughout the entire process which was great because we don't ever take professional photos and were pretty awkward at first. She helped guide us through everything to make sure we felt comfortable and natural. She bordered on being our wedding planner with the assistance she gave in creating our special day's timeline. On the day of, she was a calm presence and was extremely helpful, going above and beyond to assist us. She was very clear and responsive with all of her communication throughout the entire process. We had Emily do both our engagement and wedding photos and they were stunning- I could not be more in love with them. She captured all of the moments we requested and everything in between. We would HIGHLY recommend Emily to anyone in search of a fun, skilled and professional photographer.
Emily's product quality, organization, and professionalism truly blew us away. She exceeded the role of a photographer during our engagement shoot and wedding day - her work told a meaningful story of our love. She became a friend through the process by creating a comfortable environment, learning about our history, and finding opportunities to customize her work to our interests. We immediately noticed Emily's care in fostering our relationship through the process. She encouraged us to plan a date night for our photo gallery reveal, which ended up being one of my favorite memories together! With reasonable pricing, outstanding work, and personalization, I would recommend Emily to any couple looking for a trustworthy photographer.
Working with Emily Kyle Photography was the best wedding decision we made. Not only did she capture all the moments of our wedding perfectly giving us precious memories for a lifetime she made the entire planning process a delight. Emily was not just our photographer throughout the process but offered all her wedding knowledge helping to create the perfect day. From our engagement session to album creation she made us feel like her only couple and top priority. Emily truly is the BEST!
Emily is a master at her craft and her work pretty much speaks for itself. She's really down to earth and brought such supportive energy to my wedding day! Emily is extremely organized and thoughtful, has super helpful resources and recommendations, and she's just really prepared all around. Info and pricing was easy to understand and we loved that she had packages to choose from, making decisions simple during a chaotic planning time.
On the actual day of my wedding her energy was so calm and fun. I was trying to be ultra careful with my unsteamed dress that kept getting dirty during photos, when she simply advised that I could worry about the dress all night or just get it dirty now and have fun - which was definitely the advice I needed!
The delivery of the final photos online came with such thorough instructions of how to view that we didn't get a single question from family/friends on how to access. The photos are so stunning and we feel very lucky to have had her with us capturing such beautiful memories!
TLDR; Hire Emily for your wedding, she's truly amazing!!!
We discovered Emily Kyle Photography through wedding photographs of a friend from college. We knew instantly that Emily was the photographer for us. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photos which made our wedding photos even better than we could have dreamed. What we had hoped to be a beautiful sunny wedding day turned into unexpected rainstorms. The weather was our worst nightmare, but Emily was our saving grace and reassured us that our photos were going to be BEAUTIFUL with the help of that gloomy weather. We feel so lucky that we have beautiful photographs to pass down for generations to come. We have absolutely no doubt that we would choose Emily over and over again. Truly one of the best experiences of our lives!
Emily was outstanding!! She's so friendly and very talented. With the package my husband and I picked, we got to spend time with her during our engagement session and also had a one on one meeting to go over our wedding day schedule. We really got to know her and genuinely enjoyed spending our wedding day with her. Even guests committed on how fun yet professional she was. We 100% recommend!!!!
There are not enough stars to give Emily the credit and gratitude she deserves. I found Emily on Instagram after seeing her work and fell in love with her style and process. After our first meeting, I knew we were in good hands. Emily not only captured our wedding as if we could relive the day over and over but was always there to suggest vendors, provide recommendations and listen to our wants and vision throughout the engagement. I could not be more in love with the way she used her style and ours to capture the day. We will forever cherish our album and we know our families will too!
Emily is simply the BEST! She was incredibly organized, timely, and made us feel at ease the entire day... truly a calming force! She worked seamlessly with our other vendors and with our bridal party/families. We love our photos! They represented our day perfectly, and she captured so many special moments. We were incredibly appreciative of how quickly we were able to see previews and get our full album back.
Our session with Emily, was amazing from start to finish! Not only did our photos come out absolutely dreamy, Emily was attentive and professional through the whole process. She really made you feel like you weren't just another client and that made us feel special. Her photo editing was perfect and they came out natural looking just as we wanted them to. My husband and I couldn't recommend Emily more!
Emily was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process. She was very flexible with meeting times, helped me make my schedule, and was great at responding to my questions! Day of she was organized, kind, funny, and got all the pictures we wanted!
Emily Kyle Photography was the first and BEST wedding vendor I hired. Not only did she produce wonderful, beautiful photos - she was an integral part to wedding success. Before the wedding, Emily sent multiple resources, vendor recommendations, wedding advice, and always promptly answered my questions and concerns. During the wedding, Emily surpassed my expectations with how prompt, organized, and professional she was. Everyone was so impressed! She kept everyone on schedule and also kept the energy comfortable and fun! After the wedding, we received the photos so quickly and we're absolutely floored by how amazing they were. 10/10 recommend Emily!!
EMILY IS AMAZING!!! The second we had our phone call meeting, I knew She was our girl! The photography was the most important part of my wedding (minus getting married I guess 😂) I did weeks if not months of research the second I got Engaged. Emily was so attentive, helpful and reassuring that everything would be okay! She was almost like my personal therapist throughout wedding planning whether it was for the photos or anything else! Emily is so incredibly talented and makes you feel SO comfortable during your sessions whether it’s an engagement, pre weddings meet up or the wedding day! You won’t be disappointed if you book her!!
I can not imagine my wedding without Emily. From the very first time we met over Zoom to the wedding day I felt supported and in great hands knowing Emily was going to capture everything on my wedding day. Her laid-back energy and amazing eye for detail made working with her better than I could have ever imagined. I would choose Emily 10x over without a second of hesitation.
Emily has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We had so much fun at our engagement shoot (even with the wind, rain, and freezing cold) and are really looking forward to working with her at our upcoming wedding! I usually feel (and look) so uncomfortable in photos but this was a totally different experience. Our engagement photos are stunning. Plus the turnaround time was lightning fast (we had our previews the next day!!) I can't say enough good things about Emily or recommend her highly enough.
Emily is the most amazing person and photographer. I cannot say enough about how fun, natural, and easy our engagement photo session went because of her. In what can be uncomfortable situation, she made it feel so natural and still in awe for how amazing the pictures turned out. Outside of her work itself (which take a look at her website, it speaks for itself) her thoughtfulness in every step is really what's awesome. Not only did she effortlessly reschedule our original session when it was raining, she met to get drinks with my fiancé and I before our session to ease into the process and get to know each other! She even has couples plan a "reveal date" for the photos. What could have been easily provided over email at any given point and just scrolled through, turned into a fun date night my fiancé and I planned out because of her. And I cant forget to mention her wedding guide - READ IT!!
Really can't say enough good things about Emily, so if you're a future bride or groom - she's definitely the one!
We had the BEST experience with Emily as our wedding photographer. She was punctual, responsive, and took the most amazing photos of our day. Emily took the time to help us figure out the timeline of our DIY wedding and everyone has been so pleased with the photos. I can HIGHLY recommend Emily!
Emily was a phenomenal photographer. She was friendly, well-organized, and quick to reply to any of our questions. My husband and I can be a little awkward when it comes to being the center of attention, but she helped ease that tension very well. She caught some great candid shots of us and our guests that perfectly captured the fun everyone was having and the love in each couple's relationship. We've gotten so many compliments on our bride and groom shots as well. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!
Emily is truly an amazing photographer. It is obvious how thoughtful she is with her work. We just had our engagement session and the photos are absolutely stunning. Plus she gave us basically an entire album for sneak peaks 24 hours after the shoot! She makes the process very relaxed and fun. Even my fiancé had a great time and he was quite nervous leading up to it. If you want a detail oriented photographer who delivers a stunning product please choose Emily!
Choosing Emily as your photographer will be by far one of the best choices you make for your wedding day. From our first phone call to now post wedding Emily has been knowledgeable, organized, efficient, and fun to be around. Emily was available to us when needed through phone calls, questionnaires, and meetings. She used that time to really get to know us as a couple and learn what we were looking for in a photographer. Emily walked us through creating the timeline for the day and made sure everything ran smoothly and stayed on schedule day of. On top of everything else, we could not be more thrilled with the end result. Her ability to capture us, our family, and our friends on our special day was by far the best we could ask for!
If you're thinking about booking Emily, just do it! We couldn't have asked for a better experience or better photos. Emily is a wedding professional who communicates well and is ready to have fun with you. She made the process so much easier, and we are obsessed with our photos!
Emily is extremely professional. She guided us through the entire day of our wedding. She asked what we wanted and made her own suggestions. Emily was so fantastic to work with. Contact her, you won't be disappointed.
I honestly do not know where to start, we are so grateful for Emily! She has gone above and beyond... from timely communication, to helping with engagement photo outfits, to creating a highlight engagement photo slideshow (which is AMAZING because it's so nice to be able to send this to family and friends rather than sending the full gallery).
My fiancé was not thrilled about spending two hours taking photos and by the end of the session he said "that was actually really fun" and there is no doubt in my mind that this had everything to do with Emily. She made us feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. She had SO many tricks and tips to get us in the right pose and capture the right emotion... she did all of the thinking so we could just enjoy the time! The outputs were AMAZING and we have so many options to chose from. I appreciated the variety of pictures, there were plenty "Save the Date" options but plenty of candid options to use for our home and have for years to come.
Especially now, wedding planning can certainly be stressful and there are so many variables to worry about, it means everything to have vendors you know you can rely on. Emily has felt more like a friend and we are so thankful to have her involved in our wedding. We could not recommend her enough and are so excited for the wedding day!
For our wedding day, we felt that photography was the most important vendor and we couldn’t have chosen a better photographer. Emily was organized, responsive, friendly, and personable. We received some great photos within a day of our wedding day, and almost a thousand in total within a month! She delivered absolutely stunning photos! I feel that she captured the essence of our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the photos. It is incredible how talented Emily is. There was never a need to find Emily the day of our wedding for pictures because she was always there. Both my husband and I look forward to working with her in future events in our lives. Emily is an absolute dream to work with.
Emily is truly the best of the best! She is everything you want and more in your photographer for any occasion! My boyfriend( now husband) hired Emily to shoot our proposal photos back in March 2019. I immediately told her she was hired for our engagement/wedding photos that day because I could tell she was amazing! Emily kicked it out of the park with every photo session of ours. We just got our wedding photos back and they are beautiful!! My advice to anyone is to book Emily because she cares about every single detail and will help make sure any event of yours goes perfectly! Xo
Emily was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I cannot rave about her enough. We ran into a snag less than a week before my wedding with my photographer, and Emily was available to swoop in and save the day! She was responsive, communicative, thorough, detailed, creative, and her talent is unmatched. I cannot recommend her enough. I received STUNNING sneak peeks less than 12 hours after my wedding and I have received nothing but compliments. Emily went above and beyond from the second she committed to capturing our wedding day, and I couldn't imagine the day without her. She is professional, yet flexible, and keeps the day moving. I am SO EXCITED to see the rest of my photos!
I had the amazing opportunity to work with Emily for my wedding this past August and she was INCREDIBLE. Emily not only shot my wedding ceremony and reception but was there for 3 additional pre wedding events that I had the days leading into the wedding. In those 5 events, she got to know myself and my family extremely well while also thoroughly understand each event and making sure that she got everything that I wanted and more. This was Emily's first Indian wedding and truthfully, I never felt like she was nervous or overwhelmed about it since I signed with her. She handled everything I gave to her extremely professionally and made myself and my husband feel so at ease. During all the events, she made it a point to capture everything I was looking for and even added her own creativity that I appreciated during the process.
I also had the opportunity to work with Emily on my invitations as well which turned our beautifully! I HIGHLY recommend working with her on wedding invitations! I was planning this wedding in California and she was very prompt in communication and setting proper timeline expectations during the whole process. Photographs and invites were 2 of the most important aspects of my wedding for me and Emily delivered beyond my expectations.
I truly have nothing but amazing things to say about Emily. She was very easy to work with while I was across the country planning my wedding. I fully trusted her from day 1 and she didn't disappoint throughout my entire time working with her; even after the wedding day when delivering all the prints. I would highly recommend Emily for any event in the future and hope that we can work together again as well! Thank you so much Emily for everything you did to make my special day unforgettable! :-D
Emily and her assistant are amazing photographers, and such kind people too. They were super fun to work with, and also so flexible and understanding of us being a bit disorganized on our wedding day. Our guests loved her too - so many people commented on how fun and good she was at getting groups together and looking their best! We just got the photos back, and they are so beautiful - I can't even describe - the day was the best, and it's documented just as beautiful as I remember it. I also love that the phots show lovely moments that my husband and I didn't get to witness. We're so lucky that we had Emily there to document our day. We will cherish the photos forever.
It was a pleasure working with Emily! She was so kind and naturally fit right in to our wedding party, capturing special moments that I'm so happy to have frozen in timeless images! I highly recommend her photography and her wonderful personality!!
Emily and her photos were everything and more than we could have hoped for! For such a young photographer, she maintained a very professional yet inviting atmosphere. The final products are far beyond what we could have every imagined. Not only were the photos fantastic, but she did a great job of ensuring we felt comfortable throughout the entire process. I was also very pleased with the timely manner in which she was able to get all of the photos to us. I'm going to continue Emily Kyle Photography for all of my photo needs and you should too!
