Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Hello lovers, thanks for stopping by. No one likes a flowery About section, so let’s keep this simple. We are artists, storytellers, photo takers, documenters, friends, cheerleaders, crowd pleasers and wranglers but at the very core of us lies hearts that love to serve. You’re in the right place if you want to focus on less stuff-stuff and more heart-stuff. We enter your inner circle to capture community, celebration, love, ugly-crying, fighting the ugly-cry, bad dance moves, good dance moves, tipsy grandma, reserved grandma, ankle biters (the fur ones and the child ones) we mean that in the most loving way as parents of a 7 year old and 2 year old.
You’re probably already thinking about what your wedding will look like, and if any of the above will apply. If invited we will be there to capture it all and not just what it looked like but what it felt like. We have covered every type of wedding celebration from intimate, to traditional, to black tie, to bohemian, from 300 guests to 10.
If you hire us, you’re signing up for having another friend in your corner. You’re signing us on to tell your story and although the two of you are headlining there are tons of side plots starring your family and friends oh, and the ankle biters too if they were invited. We tell that story not with the one of a million portraits of just the two of you but the one you never knew you wanted. Everything about your celebration is beautiful and human and worth being captured. The people you will see in our galleries have laughed, cried, dance their butts off, welcomed us in with open arms and trust and we love each and every one of them. We are here for the people who wear their heart on their sleeve and leave it all on the dance floor at the end of the night.
We aren’t ones to make assumptions but we are pretty sure you want to get to our work, check it out and if you feel connected to it please drop us a line.

Holy moly. We truly could not be happier with your work. The sneak peek blew our minds, both in how high the quality was of those shots, and the fact that you sent them so quickly....
Many of them brought tears to our eyes. And then when we opened up the gorgeous box you sent in the mail and reviewed the full gallery, we were stunned even further. You two clearly seem to be the best in the business in my opinion. Your friendliness, professionalism, responsiveness, savvy, and aesthetic merits shine brightly. You make an incredible team. This message is only the beginning, not even scratching the surface of how impressed we are with your work and how grateful we re to have these photos for the rest of our lives. You also made us feel like friends, which was huge in making us comfortable. We cannot thank you enough! We cannot wait to get (many) of these printed, and we are overwhelmed by the task of trying to pick some. There are so many incredible shots here!

I will shout it from any rooftop or mountain: you need EMRY for your wedding. As a wedding coordinator myself, I knew I’d be able to relax and enjoy the day with Emily and Ryan the...
re, and they exceeded every expectation. They are incredibly organized, supportive from start to finish, and the photos speak for themselves... absolutely beautiful.
Their entire team has such a creative eye for detail, and they make everything feel effortless. If you’re not used to being in front of a camera, they guide you every step of the way, from how to stand, where to put your hands, and even making sure family photos look cohesive (no sunglasses, no phones in pockets, etc.).
I can’t express how grateful I am to the EMRY team. They played such a huge role in making our day feel seamless, and I’m beyond thankful they were a part of it. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

We cannot say enough incredible things about Ryan and Emily. From the moment we started working with them, it was clear they genuinely care about their couples, not just delivering...
photos, but capturing the real moments, the little details, the emotions you didn't even realize were happening around you. On our wedding day, every single person they interacted with raved about how warm, funny, and professional they both were. Emily absolutely knocked it out of the park with our bridesmaid portraits, and Ryan has an incredible eye for storytelling. Our preview images left us completely in awe, and we had our full digital album back within a month which felt almost impossibly fast for the level of quality they delivered. If you are getting married and you are on the fence, get off it. Book Emry. You will not regret it for a single second.

king himself available for any questions we had. I was initially only going to book videography but after seeing their portfolio and getting competitive pricing I booked both photo and video which was the best decision I made. I HIGHLY recommend booking the package which includes both Ryan and Emily for photography. Having both allowed them to not only capture more shots with different angles but as a team they were able to quickly position us helping us look our best in each shot! The thing we loved the most about Emry is they adapted like true professionals. When our wedding ceremony was delayed almost an hour they quickly changed plans to capture the best lighting which still getting every shot and when we asked to squeeze in extra family photos they didn't hesitate and exceeded all our expectations.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Emry.
Leading up to our wedding, they guided us through the process. They were organized, accommodating, and honest. They responded to our ...
texts and set up calls, whether to discuss things related to their services or general wedding concerns. They led the discussions about the wedding day timeline, and they suggested fun ways to capture pictures with different groups. Their experience spoke volumes compared to other photographers we vetted.
On the wedding day, Emily and Ryan arrived early and were prepared. They were flexible as we finished getting ready, moving first to flat lays and venue pictures. They directed poses that looked effortless and natural, and they really have an eye for shots in good lighting and unique spots. They caught many spontaneous moments throughout the evening, capturing the joy of the event. We had a large list of groups for staged pictures with us and some guests were non-English speakers, but Emry handled everything in a patient and efficient manner.
They checked in with us to make sure we were doing OK, and they reminded us constantly that they were here for us, so we could take more pictures, take a break, move forward, or do other shots we had in mind as we pleased.
Emry got back with our digital album within a month.
Throughout the planning period and on the wedding day, they truly supported us. We would highly recommend their services!

These two have good vibes. Ryan and Emily photographed our elopement on the beach. From first contact, to figuring out logistics, and collaborating on a shoot schedule...They were ...
the best. On the day of our event, they kept us on schedule, shot amazing photos...and Emily even ran up a big hill when I left my bouquet in our hotel room! Since we decided to elope just the two of us with no friends or family (we'll have a big party for them later!) we really depended on Ryan and Emily as our only sense of direction since we were completely lost in the moment....and they came through in spades. Both my husband and I felt very at ease and comfortable with them...Their personalities were fun, they fit right in, and it was just good vibes all the way around. They're good people, and you feel it when working with them. Thank you Ryan and Emily for being witness to our most special day. Y'all are the best.

Their communication was outstanding every step of the way, which helped everything run smoothly and contributed to the most perfect wedding day. We are absolutely in love with our photos. Not only are they stunning, but Emily and Ryan captured so many beautiful moments we didn’t even get to see ourselves. Looking through the gallery feels like reliving the day all over again.
We’re so grateful to EMRY for helping make our wedding unforgettable and for giving us these cherished memories to treasure forever. We recommend them with our whole hearts!

Our pictures were delivered in a timely manner and they came out amazing. They are sooooo easy to work with. You literally absolutely cannot go wrong with them. They will help pose you and will work with any variation of light for the time of year you get married. Bonus points if you get married at Grand Tradition, because they got married there too and know alllllll the best spots!! They are the absolute best. Thank you guys so so so so much.

In addition to being very happy with how our photos turned out, Ryan and Emily were just overall great to work with through the planning process.

We had so much fun (even though we are both incredibly awkward picture takers) and Ryan & Emily made us feel comfortable while also being clear with directions to get the best shots! We will be recommending them to everyone we know getting married in CA!!

We hired Emry Photography for our wedding, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. From the first email exchange, Emily and Ryan listened to what we wanted and gave prac...
tical suggestions that fit our style. On the day of the wedding they were organized and unobtrusive—moving through the ceremony and reception while quietly capturing the moments that mattered most, from the first look to the spontaneous laughs during the dancing.
Their documentary‑style approach meant we didn’t have to spend a lot of time posing; they let the day unfold naturally and still got clear, well‑composed shots. Even with a busy family photo session, they kept things moving without feeling rushed, and everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera.
One thing we really appreciated was how quickly we received the final gallery—just under four weeks after the wedding. The photos were nicely edited, with good lighting and color balance, and they captured the genuine emotions of the day without looking overly staged.
Overall, Emry Photography delivered reliable, friendly service and produced a collection of images we’ll keep revisiting for years. If you’re looking for a professional yet down‑to‑earth wedding photographer, they’re a solid choice.

My husband and I were out researching venues and visiting our top ones when we ran into Ryan and Emily. We found out that they were local wedding photographers and had photographed...
many weddings at multiple venues around the area. It was VERY evident that they were highly knowledgeable about the venues in the area and were able to give us the pros and cons of many of the popular venues. Their thoughtfulness and pure knowledge/expertise in all facets of a wedding really stood out to us.
After our engagement photo shoot, my husband and I knew that we picked the right team for the job. Ryan and Emily made us feel so comfortable with our session and were able to capture a mix of both posed photos and candid photos that perfectly captured our emotions in each picture. We were so excited to see our pictures and were STOKED when EMRY had our full engagement gallery to us in less than a couple days.
With EMRY you not only get two wonderfully skilled photographers, you really gain two additional coordinators for everything wedding planning. On the day of our wedding, we were behind schedule and I walked in feeling frazzled. However, Emily and Ryan took charge from the moment my bridal party showed up to the venue and I cannot stress enough how much of a difference their calming and confident presence set the tone for the rest of the day. Chris and I were able to be fully present in each moment of my day because we knew that Ryan and Emily would capture everything we wanted. In addition, their video team was also so thoughtful and lighthearted, which continued to help us focus on enjoying every moment! All of our guests were impressed with the ease in which Emily and Ryan worked the venue to capture every single moment of our day. We were then both amazed they were able to get us our wedding day sneak peek pictures in just a FEW days and our FULL wedding gallery three weeks later! Not only was the turn around time for our photos incredibly fast, but also the photos were STUNNING. Chris and I loved reliving the small moments through pictures and we cannot stress enough how AMAZING of a team everyone at EMRY is!

We worked with Brian and Elise the day of and I was a little nervous since we hadn't met them but they both made everything super comfortable and kept us on schedule. Most importantly, the photos turned out AMAZING. I wasn't sure if there would be a ton more photos we loved after the sneak peek but I was wrong! There were so many gems. And they turned them around so quickly too. What I loved about the photos was how they really told a story of the night. Looking back on them it feels like I'm there again :') I can't wait for the album they will be putting together for us <3 Hands down one of our favorite vendors we booked.

nly insanely talented photographers, but also the most personal, genuine people you could ever ask to be part of your wedding day. They made us feel so important and special, and they captured every moment beautifully while keeping us relaxed and never rushed.
What blew us away is how much more they did than just take photos. They truly felt like part coordinators—keeping the day flowing smoothly and making sure we and our wedding party were stress-free and having fun. Their presence was calming, encouraging, and honestly one of the best parts of the entire day.
On top of that, their videographer was incredible—so fun to be around, kept us laughing all night, and did such an amazing job capturing everything. Together, they made the entire experience unforgettable.
Choosing Emily and Ryan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only do we have gorgeous photos and video that we’ll treasure forever, but we also walked away feeling like we gained new friends. If you’re looking for a photography team who genuinely cares about you, your day, and your memories—this is the small business to support. Truly phenomenal.

They were all over the place, and always there to capture the candid moments, portraits, and all the fun! They were on time, extremely professional and easy to work with, and stayed until the very end! Emily and Ryan sent us over a sneak peak of photos so quickly after the event, and then sent us all the photos and a USB drive within 2 weeks of the Wedding. The amount of photos we received is unbelievable! So many gorgeous and beautiful memories were captured from that day! They are currently working on the Photo Album for Ashley and Ryan and I am positive it will be stunning and such an amazing keepsake from their Wedding!! They had also done their Engagement shoot a year ago and we have so many gorgeous photos from that shoot, and the portrait we received is absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend EMRY Photography as your Wedding Photographers. Their attention to detail and quality of photos is beyond excellent. You will be extremely happy you chose them!! Thank you for all the amazing memories!!

They got pictures with everyone, and of every moment of the wedding and every shot was beautiful! They were also SUPER helpful with helping us plan our timeline! They were absolute rock stars staying with us until the very end, and helping with our grand exit! They also suggested great ideas, and went above and beyond with some must-needed shoots we had requested! In addition to all of this, they got us our photos earlier than we expected and shocked all of our friends and family with how soon they got them and how beautiful each one was! If I ever have the opportunity to work with them again, I would in a heartbeat!!!!! Their work was some of the absolute best I have ever seen! Definitely do not hesitate with booking, they are 100% worth it! Our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing without their guidance, support, and exceptional photography skills!

y the kind of energy I wanted around me on my wedding day. I was looking for a team that really cared about and genuinely understood the magic I envisioned for such a special day in my life, and EmRy delivered that and more.
Everyone we spoke to who had worked with them before had nothing but glowing things to say about what an incredible team they are—and they were absolutely right. On the day of the wedding, they felt like an extra coordinator, making sure everything ran smoothly and that my priorities were always front and center. I gave them an ambitious shot list and timeline, and they didn’t miss a single moment. My husband and I both keep reflecting on how shocked we were to have even more time to be fully present and part of the wedding than we thought we would!
To top it all off, we received absolutely stunning sneak peeks less than a day after the wedding. Even from just the initial photos (which was an impressive amount with such short turnaround!!), I can tell they captured the day and all it's sweet details in the very best way. They caught the perfect special moments and the colors looked as beautiful as the day itself.
They are so talented and impressive—I truly cannot wait to see the rest of the photos. If you're looking for a photography and videography team that’s organized, thoughtful, and artistically brilliant, look no further than EmRy.

We had the incredible fortune of choosing Emry Photography for our wedding, and we are so grateful for every moment of the experience. From the very first consultation to the final...
delivery of our photos, Emry Photography exceeded our expectations in every possible way.
The professionalism and communication throughout the entire process were impeccable. Leading up to the wedding, they made sure to understand exactly what we were looking for — from our must-have shots to the more candid moments we hoped to capture. They took the time to get to know our personalities and style, which helped make the day feel personalized and special. Their pre-wedding consultation was thorough, and it gave us peace of mind knowing we were in such capable hands.
On the day of the wedding, the photographers were an absolute dream to work with. They were calm, friendly, and incredibly efficient, all while blending seamlessly into the flow of the day. We barely noticed they were there during the ceremony, yet they captured every precious moment — from the vows to the first kiss, and the looks of joy on our faces. Their ability to capture such genuine emotions without intruding was something we truly appreciated.
The bridal party and family photos were handled with ease, and Emry Photography made sure to keep everything lighthearted and fun. They gave just the right amount of direction, making sure everyone was positioned perfectly without it ever feeling like a stiff or forced photo session. Their experience was obvious, and we were able to breeze through the formal photos and get back to enjoying our day.
As for the candid moments, Emry Photography truly outdid themselves. They captured the laughter, the tears, and the intimate exchanges that made our day uniquely ours. We couldn’t believe how many incredible shots we received — moments we didn’t even realize were happening, beautifully frozen in time.
The final product was beyond anything we could have imagined. The photos were breathtaking — vibrant, beautifully composed, and expertly edited. The attention to detail in each image was extraordinary, and they managed to tell the entire story of our wedding day in such a compelling way. We received our gallery sooner than expected, and the quality was flawless. We also loved how the photos captured the atmosphere of the day — the joy, the love, and the unforgettable memories.
On top of everything, Emry Photography went above and beyond by offering a personalized album and print options, which were beautifully designed and made it so easy for us to preserve our memories.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely invested in your special day, we can’t recommend Emry Photography enough. They brought our vision to life in ways we never thought possible, and they made our wedding day even more magical. Their creativity, professionalism, and dedication to their craft are unmatched. We’re beyond thrilled with our wedding photos, and we know we’ll cherish them forever. Five stars, without a doubt!

Wedding photography is not cheap, but after our wedding I’ve realized you get what you pay for.
EMRY Photography is 1000% worth what they charge. They are super responsive, abs...
olute professionals, and get your edited photos back very quickly.
We had an EMRY creative, Brian, for our engagement shoot and as our lead photographer at the wedding. He was so easygoing and great at giving us directions (we are very awkward in front of the camera and had no idea what photos we wanted to take). Brian’s talent and photos speak for themselves — they are gorgeous!
Most of our communications were with the owner, Ryan, who was very friendly and accessible. We once emailed him at 10 pm on a week night and he responded right away. His schedule also freed up so that he was the second photographer at our wedding. He’s an absolute professional and was very good at handling our (chaotic) family members for the group photos.
Thank you so much, EMRY Photography, for the beautiful photos and being absolute gems. It was so nice to just show up and have all the photography/details handled for us.

Ryan and Emily bring so much compassion and fun to wedding photography! You can tell they love what they do, and love working together, which in return makes you feel so comfortabl...
e being around them and in front of a camera. The moment you start getting ready on your wedding day to the wee hours of the night on the dance floor, they're constantly capturing every perfect detail of your special day. When my husband and I were received our wedding photo album, our jaws hit the floor. ABSOLUTE perfection (and my husband hates having his picture taken.) My favorite part of working with them was how they captured our entire ceremony, but also captured every guests reaction to our vows, which was so special to us. I can not thank them enough for the quality, professionalism, and fun we had working with them!

If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Emily and Ryan were by far our favorite vendor that we hired for our wedding, we cannot recommend them enough!! From our initial call, ...
we could tell they were going to be great - great energy, lots of experience, super responsive. They made sure to touch base about what type of photos we wanted to capture and gave us tips on how to best accomplish everything based on their experience. On the wedding day, they brought such a positive energy, their dynamic is amazing. They made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera, they gave direction so we were posed but nothing felt or looked forced. They captured every single moment in such a natural and candid way. We had multiple guests comment on how great the photographers were, there seriously wasn't a moment that they missed!! The photos turned out STUNNING! Not to mention, they literally sent us a sneak peak album 1 DAY after the wedding with tons of photos!!! This was the most incredible thing to have so much content to share (literally 24 hours later!) and be able to re-live the day!! Also, the final gallery came out less then 4 weeks later!!!! We also used them for video and we got a wedding video "trailer" within days of the wedding too!!! They are incredible! We are so blown away by the quality of their work, EMRY Photography is the ABSOLUTE BEST! If you don't book them you are missing out big time.

We decided that we wanted to splurge on a photographer to ensure we had photos to commemorate our special day. Emily and Ryan did not disappoint. We absolutely love every one of th...
e 1500+ photos that are part of our final gallery. From the first phone call, Ryan was incredibly helpful and we immediately knew that we could trust him to take good care of us--from recommendations of other vendors, guidance on our timeline, experience shooting at our venue, and overall good vibe. They made us feel comfortable and were able to direct us to get amazing shots. We would absolutely recommend EMRY if you're looking for a wedding photographer.

ed out. Ryan and Emily are incredible to work with, truly a power couple! They have incredible suggestions for shots, timeline and the wedding day. They listen to your ideas and help make them come to life while offering wonderful suggestions that make for great photos.

EMRY photography was amazing! Ryan is such a professional and really cares about your overall wedding day experience (offers vendor recommendations and suggestions to make the day ...
as perfect as possible). Our wedding was shot by EMRY Creatives, Brian and Sean, who were also extremely professional and talented. EMRY also has all these lovely touches that makes them stand out: a beautiful USB with all of the photos, an incredibly quick turnaround for sneak peek shots, and a curated wedding photo album. I would absolutely recommend EMRY to anyone! :)

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with EMRY Photography for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier. From start to finish, the team was professional, attentive,...
and incredibly talented. We had a few calls with Ryan that truly made it feel like a personalized approach and made us feel confident and comfortable. On our special day, the team really captured the magic for us but also our guests, the photos are beyond stunning. After the wedding when we received our portfolio, they were very prompt in helping us design our photo book which has a lovely leather cover that we’re able to display in our home. We are so grateful we chose EMRY and hope others can ensure trust in their work.

being taken. However during out engagement photos, I felt SO comfortable and the photos came out PHENOMENAL to say the least. They have the most amazing energy and made everything so enjoyable and fun. Even the INSANE amount of family photos we had to take. We got out sneak peaks the day we got to our honeymoon and it was like reliving the night all over again. 1000000% recommend booking them, you will NOT be disappointed!!!

ideos back, our experience was wonderful. They are so full of knowledge that I found myself referring back to her timeline when giving other vendors information. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to them!
And our photos are absolutely PERFECT! They did an incredible job capturing the joy and love of the day. Looking back at them now, I can feel myself at the wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

d knowledgable on how to direct us and our bridal party to knock out amazing photos quickly and make it FUN. Their communication between each other was so on point so we never had to worry about our timeline and could relax putting all our trust in them. The best of all they got us sneak peeks of our wedding photos DAYS after our wedding so we could enjoy them on our honeymoon, with the rest of the photos coming before 4 weeks after the wedding. So happy we found EmRy!!

This is a long overdue review, but it was an absolute joy to work with Emry Photography for our wedding & engagement photos. Emily & Ryan are the sweetest, funniest couple and mak...
e such a great team. My husband and I were worried about looking awkward in our wedding photos, but Emily & Ryan made us feel so natural & comfortable and we were BLOWN AWAY by how amazing all our photos turned out. It took us forever to finalize our wedding album because there were just so many good photos! One thing we were very impressed with was how quickly and orderly Emily & Ryan were able to get through our family photos at the wedding - we both have pretty big chaotic families, but they were able to wrangle everyone together, get every single shot we wanted, and still give everyone time to hit up cocktail hour, which they all appreciated! We had several guests come up to us after the wedding to compliment us on our photographers and tell us how great they were. I feel like you normally get compliments on the venue or food or DJ at a wedding, but to get so much positive feedback on our photographers was such a nice surprise and truly a testament to how awesome Emily & Ryan are. They did an amazing job of capturing all the important moments of the day, all the little details, and even got some great candid moments that we may have missed during our wedding but were able to appreciate later. We can literally look at our wedding album and relive the entire day, which is exactly what we wanted. Cannot recommend them enough!!
