Hi, Iβm Emily!
Hi, Iβm Emily β the eyes, heart, and hands behind Emily Faith Photography.
Iβve spent the last decade documenting love stories that are both deeply human and effortlessly elegant. My approach is rooted in connection β with my couples, with their story, and with the quiet beauty that unfolds when people feel completely at ease in front of my lens. I believe your wedding day is so much more than a celebration; itβs a sacred beginning. Every photograph I take is shaped by that belief.
These days, I call Southern California home β a place where golden light and timeless romance seem to meet at every turn. From coastal elopements to classic estate weddings, Iβm endlessly inspired by the balance between luxury and authenticity. My style blends editorial composition with candid emotion, resulting in images that feel both artful and alive β the kind youβll still love decades from now.
What I love most about my work isnβt just the beautiful imagery (though Iβm admittedly obsessed with good light, texture, and movement). Itβs watching people see themselves the way their loved ones see them β radiant, confident, and completely in the moment. Thereβs something so special about guiding a couple through their portraits, helping them feel comfortable, present, and genuinely seen. Those are the moments that give me chills β and why Iβll always believe photography is both an art and a calling.
Weddings, to me, are holy ground. Every detail β from the quiet anticipation before you walk down the aisle to the laughter that fills the dance floor β carries meaning. I donβt take that lightly. Itβs an honor to witness such a sacred day and to preserve the fleeting, sacred pieces of it for generations to come. I still find myself tearing up behind the camera, even after hundreds of weddings. The significance of marriage, the promises spoken, the presence of family and faith β it all moves me deeply.
Over the years, Iβve learned that the best photographs happen when trust meets artistry. When you can relax, laugh, dance, and just be β thatβs when I can do my best work. So while Iβll gently guide and direct you when needed, Iβll also step back to let the natural rhythm of your day unfold. My goal is simple: to capture you as you are β beautifully, intentionally, and timelessly.
If you value emotion, elegance, and effortless connection, I think weβll get along wonderfully. And if youβre dreaming of photographs that feel both elevated and honest β the kind that will make your heart swell every time you see them β Iβd be honored to tell your story.
