elevated imagery rooted in connection
Where the truth of documentary meets editorial storytelling
You get to simply be, and I take care of translating that into art.
Wedding photography for couples who value presence over performance. Your photos should bring you back to how it felt — always.
You want a photographer who truly sees and cares about you as people. One that quietly observes the deep meaningful moments, and who will step forward to gently guide you when it calls for it. If you want to relax and experience your wedding day, then you're in the right place.
For the romantic and wild at heart. Capturing the intimacy of you two and handful of your closest people.

"Emily is very genuine and so easy to work with! Our engagement and then our 'big day' was such a special time in our life and she was there to capture it all! We felt so comfortable with her which really took a lot of stress off us. She was great at planning a timeline, prompting us, and communication. Emily really got to know us and was able to capture our essence in beautiful shots. With Emily Ruth, you are guaranteed incredible, natural, romantic photos!"
"We had a great experience using Emily as our photographer on our wedding day!. She has an amazing eye for details and her photos really captured how we wanted our wedding to be portrayed.
She is very knowledgeable, had great communication, and was very prompt when answering questions we had. Would highly recommend her if you are looking for an amazing photographer!"

"She made us feel very special from the beginning. There are countless things we could rave about as to how great she made our day, here is just one example out of so many. On our way to our second location we realized our cake was beginning to melt in the car. Since we were already on our way, we didn’t have a ton of time to pivot. Unbeknownst to us, she replaced our cake and surprised us. It meant the world to us!"
Being a deep feeler, I gravitate to moments with subtle nuance. I'm quick to read a room, capturing both the intimate details and joyful celebration. I’ll likely cry during your vows, laugh with your people, and maybe trip over my own feet — but I’ll always be exactly where I need to be. The fleeting in-between interactions no one else even notices...
