Hello!

My name is Emily and I founded Beauty of the Soul Studio officially in 2017. After working as the second shooter for dozens of weddings with some incredible photographers in Northern Virginia, I decided to open my own business with the goal of serving clients who appreciate the beauty and importance of their wedding day beyond just taking pretty photos, as well as couples and individuals celebrating their own milestone moments.

As a Catholic photographer, I strive to treat each person I encounter in my business with the love and respect that they deserve as a unique part of Creation. It’s part of why I’m proud to be a Spoken Bride vendor.

Fun facts about me:

• I married my best friend Peter in 2018 – so I understand what it’s like to be on the other side of wedding planning;

• My favorite place to travel is Italy and I even blogged about my honeymoon;

• I’m a cat person. (I hope we can still be friends.)

Interested in learning more about how Beauty of the Soul Studio can help create beautiful photos with you? Let’s chat!

With gratitude and excitement,

Emily Annette Ott
