Hey! I'm Emmy.


I'm passionate about capturing keepsakes that feel like timeless art - curated, ethereal, and comfortably you. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me on a walk with my fiancé, perfecting my latest sourdough recipe, meeting a friend for coffee, or spending time at my family's lake home. I work part-time at Evereve, have a love for old European design, and am a firm believer in supporting local. Minnesota has been home for all 24 years of my life!


I'm also currently planning my own 2026 wedding, so I deeply understand this season - the joy, the details, and everything in between.


I truly love celebrating marriage and family, and it would be an honor to document yours! Scroll down to learn more about me and see some of my favorite things!

 

Meet your photographer

You might be an Emmy Faye bride if...


  • You value classy elegance over trendy
  • You want dreamy, artistic detail shots that feel like art
  • You're down-to-earth and want your day captured authentically
  • You care about the atmosphere and emotion, not just the checklist
  • You want a photographer who's professional yet approachable



What to expect:


Before your wedding, we'll talk through the timeline, discuss any nerves, and I'll share exactly what to expect. On your wedding day, I'll guide you gently, celebrate with you genuinely, and make sure you feel confident and cared for. You won't feel like you're being photographed—you'll feel like you're being seen.

Favorite Person?

My Man!

My fiancé, Jared! One August evening, my roommate and I were coming home from a wedding and stopped by our local Chick-Fil-A. I locked eyes with a cute director and 4 months later he asked me out! We got engaged June 1st & have been friends since college!

What is Most Important to Me?

My faith & time with the Lord

My faith shapes how I see people—as fearfully and wonderfully made. When I'm behind the camera, I'm looking for God's fingerprints: the way light dances across your face, the joy that spills over when you laugh, and the quiet sacred moments.

THE HEART BEHIND THE LENS


Photography taught me something profound: every frame is a prayer of gratitude. When I'm behind the camera, I see God's fingerprints everywhere—in the way light dances across your face, in the joy that spills over when you laugh, in the quiet sacred moments that take your breath away.


My faith isn't separate from my work; it is my work. I believe you are fearfully and wonderfully made, and my greatest honor is capturing glimpses of how beautifully God designed you. Your love story, your family, your milestones—they're all part of a bigger story He's writing.


There's something sacred about preserving moments. When I hand you your gallery, I'm not just giving you photos; I'm giving you tangible reminders of God's goodness in your life. Years from now, when you flip through these images, I pray you'll remember not just what happened, but how loved you felt in that moment.


This is more than photography to me—it's ministry. It's celebrating the masterpiece He created when He made you, and witnessing His love story unfold through yours.


If you're here reading this, know that you are seen, you are loved, and your story matters deeply. I'd be honored to help you tell it.


"Every good and perfect gift is from above." - James 1:17

Fun Fact

Ballgowns & Dancing

Those 12 years as a ballerina? They taught me how to construct graceful posing and anticipate movement, which means I know how to position you to look effortless (even if you feel awkward). And the sewing skill from ball gowns? I can fix a bustle emergency


Jade & Madison

"Emmy was so amazing! We are such awkward photo takers and she made us feel so comfortable and confident. The way she was able to capture the emotions of the day and the beauty of the venue was truly amazing. I would recommend her to anyone!"
