About this vendor
Hey! I'm Emily and I'm a native Texan currently residing in Washington state. Some of my favorite things are craft beer, good food, traveling, my kids, the outdoors, and movies. Oh-and taking pictures of people in love. It's seriously the best job in the world.
I'm the photographer you hire because you want the closest thing to a friend shooting your wedding. I'm the photographer you hire because you value real life moments and the simplistic beauty that is a candid shot. I'm the photographer who'll make inappropriate jokes and obscure movie and TV show references. I'm the photographer you'll want to get a beer with.

Emily is truly a gem. I don't even know where to start with her. First off - she is a ROCK STAR photographer. I have used her for my engagement photos, wedding photos and she eve...
n did my corporate headshots. She's incredibly talented. Our wedding photos turned out SO amazing! She's also a BLAST to have around. She will become your friend through the process. Her style is timeless and she captures all the amazing candid moments. Our entire friend group that attended our wedding has been ranting and raving about Emily all week since we received our album. Her photos are countless friends profile pictures now. They have all been endlessly shared on Instagram. Overall.. I cannot express enough hype for this woman! If the scale is out of 10, she's a 15.
Wow! Just wow from start to finish Emily Popchock Photography was amazing, super personable and very talented at her craft. From quick responses, very informative and the fact she ...
was willing to work with our specific request. Emily’s work style caught my eye from her previous gallery’s and I am so happy we chose her. She took on the journey neither of us have done before of adventuring to the top of Mt. Evans for a sunrise elopement shoot. She made us feel comfortable and had us laughing the whole time. All the photos were breathtaking and she had a sneak peak done for us within hours of the same day. She is a true artist and master of her work!
Ah. What to say here about my dear Emily! First off, she is an incredible photographer -- beyond talented. I could not be happier that we had the chance to meet, become friends, an...
d work together. Emily made our day easy and special. She literally took every stress away, took the time to understand my husband and I as a unit, and captured our day perfectly. On top of the actual *flawless* execution, I was a Covid bride and I had to reschedule 3 times with 4 back up dates. Emily handled every move and change with grace. She went to great lengths to make sure she was free for us. I just really don't have enough words as to how grateful I am that she was our photographer. The moral of the story, if you do not hire her, you are stupid not to. In the words of the one and only Michael Scott: "Some people need dozens of friends to say, 'hey look at me, I'm popular!' But not me, I'm very picky..." BE PICKY AND HIRE EMILY.
Emily did an incredible job photographing our COVID postponed wedding! We booked her for our PNW mountain wedding while living on the east coast and her communication skills and tr...
ansparency were superb. While we didn't get a chance to "test run" with an engagement shoot, I just knew based on her IG account and a few phone calls that she had the perfect combination of professionalism, humor and creativity that we were seeking. Emily is your girl if you want a more "candid" and realistic feel to your wedding photos (v. perfectly "staged"). The way she photographs paints a beautiful narrative of the day, and the way she is able to capture and convey emotions in her photos allowed us to forego a videographer. Emily is the real deal, plus she's just super cool and fun to be around. I hope she'll be my friend when we finally move out to WA state ;)
Emily was so much fun to work with! After we had to postpone our wedding due to covid, Emily still kept in touch throughout the year and when we finally met at our wedding we felt ...
like old friends. She was able to capture important moments, like a dance with my grandmother, without us feeling like she was even there. She encouraged us to take unique photos that we maybe wouldn’t have thought to, and we have absolutely loved the photos she has shared with us so far (only 3 days after the wedding!!) Emily even had a few sneak peaks available to us the night of. Finally, our other vendors who hadn’t worked with her before had nothing but good things to say and can’t wait to work with her again in the future.
Our only regret is not hiring her to stay longer at our wedding.
Thank you so much, Emily!!!
Emily is the most thoughtful and outgoing photographer you can get! She helped us stay awake and excited as early as 5 in the morning, and not to mention the pictures are AMAZING! ...
Highly, highly recommend even all the way from SC! :)
Emily was great to work with, she was so helpful with finding some great spots for our couples pictures. It was a huge plus that she fit right in with our family. And I was so exci...
ted to get the photos while we were still on our honeymoon. The pictures turned out so great I love them all. Thanks again 💗
THE BEST EVER!!!!!! Hire Emily Popchock if you are looking for a photographer to not only deliver the most perfect photos but also make the the whole entire process from the second...
you reach out to her feel like you are talking to your bff. I will hire Emily for every photo need I have from now and I recommend that everyone else do that as well.
Emily was exceptional to work with. Not only is she AMAZING at what she does, but she is also hilarious which r e a l l y helps with photo jitters!! So professional and easy to get...
along with. She is worth absolutely every penny! If you've already read this far, then you already know you're going to reach out so DO IT!!
Emily was absolutely wonderful to work with! She made a strong first impression by responding quickly and taking the time to get to know us, so by the time our wedding day came she...
already felt like a friend. I often feel awkward behind a camera, so was thrilled by how our candids turned out to help us remember such a perfect day! The most impressive part of working with her was that we had a preview of 25 photos on the same day as our elopement. These were so special to us while we sharing our good news with friends and family.
Emily is an actual angel walking this earth. Seriously, I can't stress enough how positive our experience was with Emily from start to finish, and we are so lucky to have found her...
.
My husband and I planned to elope, but we hadn't nailed down specifics because of how crazy this year has been until about two weeks before the date we ended up tying the knot. So, very last minute! Finding a photographer was the last thing on my list but honestly the most important... Emily was our #1 choice, and she really bent over backwards to make it work for us even with a few complications and budget issues thrown in the mix.
I have no idea how many ways there are to say "thank you," but Emily deserves them all! Not only did she stay in constant communication with us, even while super busy with other commitments, she made life so incredibly easy for us leading up to and including our wedding day. Her associate photographer, Van, was fabulous and did a wonderful job making us feel comfortable during the different shoots throughout the event. Emily then edited and delivered our photos at light speed -- literally an entire month before I expected to have them, as promised in our contract! I am blown away by the quality of the photos, the gorgeous editing, and the impeccable service Emily provided.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you cannot go wrong by connecting with Emily Popchock Photography. If we have any other excuse for fancy photos, my first and only choice will be Emily.
Due to travel restrictions and covid, we needed high quality photos that were natural (but fancy) so we could share our event with our friends and family abroad. We are so fortuna...
te to have found Emily, as she completely exceeded our expectations in every way. On a personal level, she was casual and professional, great sense of humor, got along with our small crew of 7, and really just blended in with us. She arrived at the wedding site early, scoped out the best spots for pictures (location was in the woods and we hadn’t been there before), helped us with our poses (we are allergic to having our pictures taken), delivered our pictures super fast - about a week!, and took really amazing photos despite our awkwardness! While we did have some nice traditional posed photos, she also took amazing candid shots which brought me to tears seeing things I didn’t notice during our wedding. The scenery was breathtaking naturally but Emily turned it up a notch to epic. We hope she will be available for our next photographer-worthy event! Thank you Emily!!!
Emily is a super fun, punctual, flexible, attractive (in the most respectful sense of the word), and talented photographer. She has a beautiful personality and goes out of her way ...
to make sure you feel comfortable. The saying...”You get what you pay for”...definitely rings true when it comes to Emily. She is worth it! She will capture everything you didn’t even know you wanted captured! She is someone you’ll feel you’ve known for a lifetime; and you’ll feel compelled to invite back for more! All of your friends and family will ask about her because they will be soooo impressed with her work. Impeccable photography! We absolutely love Emily, it was a pleasure and honor getting to know her and having her there on our special day!
Emily is hands down the best. She went above and beyond for us on our wedding day. Our wedding was at sunrise and Emily was there to capture it all, even after waking up at 3 AM. T...
he pictures she took were stunning and the day was more than we could have hoped for.
My husband and I were so lucky to get to have Emily photograph our adventure elopement on Mount Rainier this past August! With COVID happening, our weddings plans were shot and we ...
decided to tie the knot together with just us and an officiant. Emily was super easy to coordinate plans with ahead of time (even with us living in Texas), and when it came to our day, hiked tirelessly to find the perfect spot for us to say our ‘I do’s. She came up with different ideas for us to get lots of different types of pics, and they turned out so beautiful (in my opinion lol). Especially with me and my husband being super crappy at photo taking lol. We are awkward and it usually shows 😂 So so so happy and grateful for Emily’s work!!!!!
Emily made taking our photos really fun & easy. She made us feel as though we were old friends & helped tame my husband during our photoshoot. (He gets a little overzealous when th...
e cameras turn on. Bluesteel was a thing...) She came in with intention, confidence, & a relaxed presence which made everything that much more fun and playful. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!
Thank you, Emily!!
Emily was a delight. We ended up eloping instead of a wedding(ya know, because pandemic), and she was super flexible with us. She met us at Mt. Rainier and we did some shots at M...
yrtle Falls, and we're so happy how they turned out.
Emily is extremely funny and like-able; a joy to be around. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.
I met Emily at my best friends wedding, she was so fun to be around and had fun with all of us. Not to mention the photos at my best friends wedding turned out AMAZING! Once I got ...
engaged I knew I had to book Emily for my engagement photos at least. I’m glad I did! We hiked at 6 AM, with little sleep, but WORTH IT! She sent me sneak peek photos the same day y’all!! SAME DAY! Then barely 2 days later sent me the rest of the photos and I am obsessed! I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! She makes you feel comfortable when you think you might be and has fun with you. She has tons of great recommendations for EVERYTHING and is just as excited as you are! Do yourself a favor and book Emily for your photos! Thank you again Emily!
Emily is an absolute GEM!! Even though I wasn’t the bride, but a bridesmaid, she made myself and the other girls instantly fall in love with her and feel comfortable. You can tell ...
that she puts everything she has into documenting your big day and making sure you have the pictures you wanted, the candids, and everything in between.
If I could rate her 7 stars, I would.
I have seen Emily grow as a photographer. Her transformation has been incredible, and I am SO glad I booked her for my wedding. She capture...
d the best candid moments of the night, and her editing magic brought our memories to life. I am forever grateful for her professionalism, and most importantly, her ability to have FUN at my wedding. I had multiple guests come up to me to compliment Emily and her ability to make everyone feel at ease. Book this babe.
THANK YOU EMILY
When I decided to propose to Rachel, Emily was one of my first phone calls. I can’t think of someone I would rather be close to Rachel the day of our wedding. She captured our mome...
nts, made us laugh and withstood our cold Michigan photos! Emily flew across the country and was completely accommodating. Through the night I barely saw her but everyone else said she was everywhere. When I saw the photos I just smiled and realized she was everywhere capturing each moment. We are forever grateful for Emily and her work and friendship.

Emily is truly great at her profession. She has a great eye for capturing the best moments. She made the moment feel natural and comfortable. She took the time and effort to get t...
o know Ashleigh and I so that we all felt comfortable while taking the pictures. Emily made the best of a cold wet day as well. She captured pictures that highlighted not only the day but also the beautiful venue. Ashleigh and I now have a lifetime of great memories and the pictures that Emily took will be with us forever.
We couldn’t of picked a better wedding photographer! Emily was amazing, she made us feel relaxed and we enjoyed every moment of getting our photo taken which made the day even more...
enjoyable! We usually aren’t a couple who likes to be in front of the camera so for us this was so great that Emily made us enjoy the whole experience! Our photos are absolutely incredible!! Every photo is a statement piece and I am so glad we choose Emily to capture these moments that we will have forever!
Would absolutely highly recommend! Timeless!
We had our engagement pictures with Emily and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She is prompt to respond to emails and texts, it was so easy to book a date for our pictures ...
and the payment schedule was clear. I had never had professional pictures done before, so I was a little nervous of what to expect the day of, but Emily made us both feel super relaxed and made it really fun. I absolutely LOVE the way our pictures turned out. She got some cute, posed shots along with really candid in the moment shots. I would highly recommend Emily if you are looking for a photographer! We would be having her do our wedding as well if she wasn’t already booked!
Emily is personable, funny, and kind in her role as photographer, poser, encourager, scheduler, and joke teller extraordinaire! If you need a good energy, make-it-work attitude fro...
m the person you work with, this is the right photographer! She got our engagement photos back right away, and of course they look incredible!! I can’t think of anything that could’ve gone better in the entire process (except the weather). You should work with Emily. Just do it.
Emily was absolutely incredible!
To begin with, she arrived early to take photos of us getting ready (which is every brides dream). She immediately blended in and became a part of...
our group. Emily rarely posed us or interrupted, but managed to get these amazing photos that captured the day beautifully.
We did not hire a wedding planner, it turned out we didn’t need to; With Emily’s experience and the way she worked with our DJ and other vendors. I cannot express how much we LOVED having her at our wedding. We just got our photos back and they are absolutely stunning. She exceeded our (high)expectations, we would 10/10 hire her again, and we probably will for future life events.
Emily is the best! Such good communication before our shoot, so enjoyable to work with on the day of and I'm in love with how our photos turned out!
We had a great experience with Emily. I was nervous about the photo shoot because I have never liked taking pictures. But after meeting her all my nerves went away. She was funny, ...
relaxed, and creative. After seeing the sneak peak pictures, all I wanted to do was go back and relive the day. Her photos recreate the experience every time I look at them. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.
Emily is absolutly amazing. I trusted a complete stanger with the most important day of my life to date. I had scheduled a photo shoot with Emily to be a surprise engagement. We me...
t twice before and were able to nail down all of the details from the small parts to the exact spot I panned to propose . She was so quick to reply to any questions or needs I had before and on the day of the shoot. I cannot thank her enough for hitting a grand slam and capturing the most important moments of the day. She was able to allow us to be ourselves and enjoy our day, while giving us just the right amount of guidance. Just hours after the shoot we already had pictures that were better than I could have imagined. I would recommend her for any type of shoot. Emily will be the photographer we hire for our wedding, no one else will be good enough.
Emily went above and beyond for us. We had some unique requests and Emily didn’t bat an eye. Her photos are incredible - just looking at them makes you feel like you’re back in tha...
t exact moment.
All that combined with Emily’s personality - she instantly feels like someone you’ve know for years and you’ve got the perfect wedding photographer!
Hire Emily. It’s that easy. We met Emily about a year before we got engaged and that first week of engagement we both knew Emily was who we wanted to capture our special day.
Emi...
ly goes above and beyond in terms of customer service, and that’s before we even get to the actual photos or the fact that she’s more like a friend than a photographer. Our parents raved about her even before the ceremony started “where did you find her? She’s incredible!”
So don’t mess around, just hire her already!
We used Emily as a pre-wedding photographer and oh my goodness, could not have been happier! She did a beautiful job posing us and capturing both our personalities and the personal...
ity of the city that we so love. We did an engagement shoot in downtown Seattle and Emily found the most creative backdrops for our photos. Not to mention, she's hilarious and the sweetest person to work with! We have received so many compliments on our engagement photos. I 110% recommend Emily for anyone looking for creative, beautiful, true to you photos.
As soon as I met Emily, I knew I had to have her as our wedding photographer. He work is beautiful and her calm but fun personality was exactly what I wanted. Having her with me ...
on my wedding day, felt like having another good friend with you on one of the most exciting days of your life. She blended into the fabric our wedding seamlessly, calmed me down during a few moments of bridal stress and took amazing photos! Our wedding party was about 20 people and we had 300 guests, she captured everything perfectly. Thank you Emily!
We come up on our first wedding anniversary and I have been reliving the memories of that perfect and singular day in my wedding pictures. It sounds cliche but there really are not...
enough words to express how wonderful Emily is and how grateful I am to have found her and her art. Before I even touch on the beauty of her photography I have to comment on the joy of her personality. She feels like a friend. She was engaged, in constant communication from the moment we hired her, not to mention hilarious and perfectly relaxed with the wedding party. Many of our guests have mentioned how seamlessly she fit into the day, how fun she was, and how perfect our pictures are. From the moment she showed up (early) she was never obtrusive or demanding, letting us do as much or as little as we wanted. The groomsmen spent the morning laughing with her and I got to feel like a bride when she spent time with our bridal party. I truly felt she had our best interest and memory of that day in her mind. She spent the entire wedding and party with us and never stopped snapping pictures. And the photos are everything I wanted. Beautiful, moody, playful, and plenty of our venue and loved ones. She made sure we had a few images in the days that followed (while we were still on honeymoon and hungry for pictures) with the rest of them being sent close behind. I can not recommend her enough as she left nothing to be desired. I hope in 10 years we can have her take our anniversary pictures while we all laugh and tell stories about my very favorite day.
Emily was amazing! She was great to communicate with and was there if I had any questions! The pictures turned out great and she was so much fun! Definitely book her as soon as pos...
sible! She fit in like another friend who just happened to take amazing photos!!
She is amazingly kind and safe. We got the cutest pictures because she really knows how to make you feel comfortable. Creative, good eye, wonderful personality! Great experience :...

I spent weeks searching for THE photographer for our wedding without luck. As a visual artist it was incredibly important to me to find someone that’s an artist who uses all the “...
tools” in their environment harmoniously with their camera to paint pictures far more interesting than what’s actually there - it seems so many photographers these days lack any creativity and simply know how to work a camera, and it was very discouraging during my search. When I found Emily (per the suggestion of another photographer) I was in tears looking through her gallery. The drama, the editing the perfect combination of posing and candidness... it’s everything I had envisioned but couldn’t find until that point.
We wound up flying Emily in from her home state - we were on a tight budget, but the photos weren’t something I was willing to cut corners on. Fast forward to the wedding... I cannot express what a perfect experience it was to have Emily and her assistant. In what felt like a trainwreck of a weekend, the one thing I can say that went exactly as I’d hoped was the photography portion. As I’m looking back on that weekend a week later I feel a little sad and pretty disappointed in how everything else turned out, BUT it gives me such relief knowing that the two most important things to me are what went well. I have a wonderful husband and the memories that I know Emily and her assistant captured are going to change the way I feel about that weekend once I get to see them. She’s already been sending me photos and I’m totally swooning over them!
Emily is an incredible artist and human being. I can’t recommend her enough and anyone who has a chance to work with her is in for a real treat!
Emily was flexible and helpful as the timelines of our day changed. She was creative and captured our elopement perfectly.
Where to even start!? I guess the beginning would be best...
When our original photographer fell thru due to an unexpected health issue, she was nice enough to throw out our info ...
to some local artists. When I read Emily’s hilarious email about being interested in our event, I immediately knew she was for us! I had read 15+ emails with the standard issue “I would love to photograph your blah blah”, and I was exhausted. But Emily was so genuinely excited and her happiness was contagious! We didn’t even have to meet her to know we had won!
Fast forward to planning and stressing, Emily was always checking in and making sure things were going well. She was happy to offer help and advice, making us laugh along the way!
And then came the wedding day! Emily and her husband had spent the whole day prior traveling to get to us, and wouldn’t you know it, they walked in our suite with the biggest smiles and warmest greetings! You couldn’t ask for a more professional couple! They hopped right to work and somehow, amidst the chaos, managed to get every single detail and special moment!
Throughout the night, Emily would briefly check in with us to make sure we were having a good time, and to make sure she hadn’t missed a thing! We had compliments pouring in from family and guests on what a pleasure she had been! By the end of the night, she truly felt like family! We all just adored her and Andrew and we were truly sad to see them go!
By the time we cleaned up from the reception and got in the car to leave, she was already sending me beautifully edited and finished photos! She had me in tears, they were honestly unreal!
Emily managed to not only capture moments, but feelings. Work of that caliber is hard to come by nowadays, since everyone with a iPhone thinks they’re a photographer. But Emily is the real deal. She’s an artist of unmeasurable quality and her creativity and mindfulness shines thru with each shutter click.
Each time I look at these photos, it’s like reliving the best day of my life, and I know that there is no one out there that could have captured those moments the way she did. I would HIGHLY recommend Emily to those who want to feel this way about their own wedding. After all, that’s the way it should be ;)
Emily was our photographer for our recent wedding and I cannot say enough good things. Majority of the weddings I have been in or attended the photographer felt more of an assembly...
line of getting things done with a “this and then that and repeat” type of style. Emily was relief from that, in that her pictures where more natural and It did not come across as a job getting our pictures taken. We are very happy with our choice in using her. Our Guests loved her and were all impressed with the photos taken, both in the quality and in the thought that went behind them. After reviewing the photos she took it is a bummer you only get married once because we would hire her again for sure.
Also the key to a great photo is “bowl hands” . Really takes the pictures to the next level
When my daughters photographer found out she was pregnant and would not be available to fly to Key West for the wedding, she reached out to a group of photographers to see if anyon...
e would be available to fill in. We received many responses, but Emily’s amazing personality shined through. Even after her husbands job relocated them across the country, she still held to our contract and pricing. She has a wonderful fun personality and helped everyone at the wedding feel relaxed. She captured the real essence of not only the bride and groom, but everyone who was in and attending the wedding. I can’t say enough about her. Everyone commented throughout the evening what a great photographer we had. Waiting to see pictures is always so excruciating. Emily sent pictures the next day!! We we’re able to post pictures on social media and the outpouring of responses were amazing. We can honestly say that we are blessed to have chosen Emily for my daughters wedding. I hope when my youngest daughter gets married, we can have Emily be apart of our special day again.
Working with Emily was such a great experience! She took the time to go over what I was looking for and made it happen. I am in love with our pictures!
We loved working with Emily! She made us feel comfortable from the start, and is so personable and funny it made our photos effortless on our end and so much fun. We have such fun ...
photos because of the vision that she had- she also scouted locations before she took us out- so it went super quick. Emily had our photos edited and back to us at lightning speed- would 100% recommend working with her!!
Emily Popchock knows how to capture real movement and emotion — rare, and covetted skills in the photography world. She truly takes special care of her clients, paying close attent...

Emily in one word is incredible. Her personality brings out the best in you and makes taking photos that much more enjoyable. She was amazing to work with, planned all the right sp...
