Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer
in every blessed moment.
Welcome to Beauty of the Soul Studio.
It’s no secret– the wedding industry puts a lot of emphasis on superficial beauty. The truth is, your wedding can be aesthetically beautiful and deeply meaningful.
The love at the center of your wedding is what makes it truly beautiful.
I photograph the “beauty of the soul” of each person, your marriage, and the celebration at hand in a way that honors that love.
Lets Work Together
are you ready to fall in love with your wedding photos?
Celebratory moments–
uninterrupted
A great photographer knows when to give direction and when to step aside and let the magic happen.
Reading private vows to one another before the ceremony. Teary first looks with your dad. A spontaneous kiss on the cheek during your first dance.
In these moments, the room melts away and you’re truly present.
This is how I want you to experience your wedding day– without being pulled out of the moment.

Hi, I'm Emily
Today, wedding photography is mainly one of two styles: superposed or documentary. While both create beautiful photos, I want to revive the industry with a unique approach that captures the excitement of genuine moments and the joy of faith-based ceremonies.
Think color, genuine cheesy smiles, and intentional direction that doesn’t make you look like someone completely different in your photos.
(With me, you’ll always know exactly where to put your hands!)
Your experience is much more important than my portfolio– that’s why I’ve mastered the art of balance with my approach to weddings.
I'll guide you through formal portraits with clear direction AND capture those spontaneous laughs and tender glances without getting in the way.
The result? Wedding photos that are a beautiful and genuine representation of all of the emotions from the day.

Jonathan and I could not be more in love with the photos. You really captured the magic of the day, and I know I have just been staring at the photos for weeks and get choked up almost every time getting to relive it. We cannot thank you enough and I will be continuing to sing your praises!
Elizabeth and Jonathan
Emily was so helpful throughout the entire planning process, when we were so lost :) She was a huge help in working out the schedule for the entire day. We also loved how fast she was at her work, everything stayed right on schedule and we never felt like the pictures were dragging on. We were able to enjoy the party and not pose for endless photos.
Sarah and Nick
It was clear from the start that Emily was always on our side and working for us, meaning that her work always demonstrated that she had our best interest at heart.
Anna and James
I am speechless! These pictures-they take my breath away! So gorgeous! You captured so much beauty and emotion in these photos!
