About this vendor
Hi! I'd love to connect but I do not use the Knot as a form of communication so *please send all inquiries via my contact page on emilynystromphoto.com , never here on the Knot. *
My desire in photographing is to serve you well, with photographs that hold the real feelings, faces, and meaning of your day. I desire to be a friend, a peaceful supporter and observer throughout the wedding. I desire to make images full of meaning in the un-forced moments and spontaneity of your day.
If you think we're a good fit, I'd love to hear from you and be a part of your day with lots of cameras hanging around my neck, supporting you and telling your story.

Working with Emily as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. We feel so lucky we got to work with someone who not only has such an incredible eye, but who ...
genuinely cared about telling the story of our day. She went above and beyond our wildest dreams, and we’re endlessly grateful. From beginning to end, she brought so much care, intuition, and thoughtfulness to the entire experience. Her calming presence on the day of our wedding made such a difference. She was never rushed, never intrusive, and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. The way she moved through the day with quiet focus and full attention was something really special.
I honestly don’t know how she did it, but Emily captured not just what everything looked like, but exactly how it felt. Every photo is full of emotion, movement, and light. Looking through our gallery feels like stepping back into those moments all over again. She didn’t just catch the big, obvious highlights, she saw the subtle, meaningful things we didn’t even realize were happening, and photographed them with so much intention. Beyond the photos themselves, working with Emily just felt easy and reassuring. She was organized, responsive, and genuinely kind every step of the way. In the middle of all the planning chaos, having someone like her in our corner was a gift. You can tell she really cares about her couples and puts her whole heart into what she does.
We’re so thankful to have such a beautiful, honest record of our wedding day. Working with Emily was an absolute dream, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Emily's work speaks for itself. It is not only artistic, stunning, and timeless, it also transport you back to the day exactly as it felt. On top of that, Emily is an absolute drea...
m to have by your side on one of the most important days. She was organized, professional, and captured our day with a sweetness and tenderness I am doubtful many others could. Emily was with us from our 8 am morning dip on our wedding day to the early morning of the FOLLOWING (yes, she stayed at our after party until after midnight). Maybe most importantly, our day never felt like a photoshoot, and yet we (already) have so many photos that we love and will cherish forever. Emily is a one-of-a kind person that we feel absolutely honored to have had capture our day!
If you’ve run across Emily’s page and you’re considering hiring her, just do it. She didn’t just document our celebration, she captured its essence in a series of photos that insta...
ntly transports me back to one of the happiest days of my life whenever I look at them. More simply put: our wedding photos are literally a work of art.
Emily communicated with us promptly, was seemingly everywhere all at once during the celebration, and is just all around a really nice human being. I really can’t sing her praises enough!
I can’t recommend Emily enough She captured the most wholesome moments, intentionally telling our story throughout the day. She is authentic, professional, genuine and oh so kind! ...
We love her work and the professional that she is. Additionally, she’s a great communicator and provided us multiple sneak peeks before delivering our full photo album within just 2 months. 12/10!
BOOK her!!! Emily took the most beautiful photos possible. She was flexible with us (our wedding was two days and she covered both) and really took time to hear our vision. But, re...
ally, she is the artist and her work tells the most beautiful story of your big day. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful Emily is as a human being and as a photographer.

e extra time they needed. She was so creative with selecting the next shot and had a great eye for backgrounds, lighting, etc. We loved working with Emily, she was incredibly responsive, and would recommend her to anyone!

your wedding day. Emily created the most beautiful art out of our wedding and engagement sessions. We are so so happy to have these captured moments for the rest of our lives and for generations to come!
Emily has an effortless talent that allows her to see individualistic and natural occuring moments during your day! She is talented not only in organizing posed photos but is extre...
mely talented in capturing the reunions with family members, hugs from loved ones, and tender moments with family. Relationally and professionally, she is beyond trustworthy!!!! She establishes personal and professional connections throughout your engagement leading into your wedding day. She is the greatest in the world!! Convinced there is not a photographer like her who prioritizes her clients rather than building a portfolio and honors their wishes.
We have not been able to stop talking about our glowing experience with our photographers. Emily (and Carley) immediately felt like talented friends we had all known for years and ...
managed to capture all of the magic of the day, while bringing our vision for the photography to life. The first look and bride/groom photo session that followed is easily the most blissful memory of our lives to date. They gracefully balanced capturing all of the planned photos of us (Bride/Groom), the wedding party, and family, while also catching the guests’ candid experiences, décor, and other fun moments throughout the day/evening.
We were quickly provided a preview gallery that confirmed that the amazing experience yielded amazing photos. Emily brought an energy, excitement, and professionalism to the day, while making everyone feel extremely comfortable, and we are deeply grateful.
We LOVED Emily. She is so talented and captures every moment with artistry. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease and special.
I would give her more stars if I could. She is easy-going, super flexible and an amazing photographer. She knows how to make it natural and real instead of the cliché poses. Also h...
er use of old film cameras makes for really cool photos.
Emily was absolutely fabulous. Not only did she capture moments that let us relive our day through photos, but she became a close friend. Just over 2 weeks after our wedding, we st...
ill have our friends and family commenting about how fun she was! Her preview gallery came back within only a few days, and a full gallery is coming soon! I would 110% recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet, authentic, and joyful photography experience for their wedding.
Literally cannot say enough good things about Emily. She truly has a creative eye and captured our wedding day perfectly. She was helpful, encouraging, and so much fun to be around...
!! She provided direction when needed, and let us do our thing when needed. We really could not have asked for anything better. We just got our final gallery in, and my husband and I spent two hours looking through the whole thing. She gave us so much and showed us parts of our day that we didn't even know about! We laughed a lot and cried a lot when looking back through our pics. She captured the day so perfectly and we are so thankful. Plus - she's a great person and friend!! We LOVE Emily!!!!
