Between whispers, laughter, and moments that make your heart skip—your day deserves to be full of joy and sweetness. I create a photography experience that’s light, intentional, and all about capturing the little magical moments that tell your story. I’m not here to perfect your love—I’m here to show how beautifully it already shines.
For the kind of love that makes your heart smile
The emily reese Experience
You don’t need a reason to celebrate your love—but if you’ve got one (anniversary, engagement, just because you’re obsessed with each other), let’s make it magic. Photos that feel like your favorite love song: a little moody, a little playful, and totally you.
Couples Sessions
A day of intimacy, laughter, and pure joy—elopements are made for quiet sunlit moments, laughter that fills your hearts, and the sweet glances you’ll remember forever.
Elopements
Your wedding day is made of the moments that make your heart sing. Candlelight, laughter, whispered vows, and a first dance that feels like it’s just for you—I’ll be there to capture it all.

my Bucket List
Nothing makes me happier than packing up my gear, rolling the windows down, and chasing love stories wherever they unfold. Whether you’re dreaming of desert vows, mountaintop promises, or a city rooftop "I do," if the road calls—you bet I’ll answer.
If you see your dream location on my travel list, there are no travel fees for sessions while I’m there. If not? No worries. I’m always down to add a new pin to the map. Let’s make it happen.
Have love, will travel
Just show up, love hard, and I’ll handle the rest
Your hair might blow wild. Your dog might steal the spotlight. You might laugh-cry your way through the vows—and that’s exactly the kind of magic I live for. The best photos aren’t the posed ones. They’re the ones that feel truly like you.
Embrace the little moments that make your day sweet...
Anywhere that tells your story. I photograph all over Charleston and beyond—charming streets, sandy beaches, and all the little places that make your love feel like you. Wherever the light makes hearts glow and the moments are worth remembering, that’s exactly where you’ll find me, capturing it all.
Where do sessions take place?
Weddings and elopements usually book 4–6 months out, sometimes sooner for peak dates. For couples sessions, a month or two ahead is golden.
How far in advance should we book?
You’re not alone, and you’re not actually awkward, I promise. I’ll guide you through everything and keep the vibe relaxed, fun, and easy. We’ll laugh, move around, and forget the camera’s even there.
We’re awkward in front of the camera— help?
Oh absolutely. Once you’re booked, I’ll send over a full guide with outfit tips and location ideas. Want to send me options? I’ll be your honorary stylist.
Can you help with outfits and locations?
Yes! I’ll hop in my car or on a plane if your love story’s taking me somewhere new. Travel fees vary based on the location, just reach out and we’ll chat.
Do you travel?
Yes, absolutely! Once you've received your photos, you will have full ownership and the rights to use them however you’d like. That means you can print, share, and post them on social media without any restrictions (though I do love seeing your posts!). I always provide high-resolution images, and you’re free to do with them as you please!
