Hi, I am Emma Craven.
For the couples who love fearlessly, laugh loudly, and embrace the real moments.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will tell you to hold an awkward pose and force a fake smile—I'm probably not your person.
But if you want someone who will capture the spontaneous laughter, the tight hand squeezes, the messy happy tears, and the wild dance floor moments—then we might just be the perfect match.
I believe the best wedding photos aren’t staged—they’re felt. They’re the stolen glances, the happy chaos, the way your love looks when no one is watching. My editing style keeps the colors true-to-life, so your photos feel just as vibrant and full of joy as your wedding day itself.
If you want a wedding gallery that feels real, alive, and filled with love—I’d love to tell your story.
My husband, Nick, and I were married outside in a grove of trees under an arch cut from birch trees with book pages nailed to it. It was the perfect, low-key, no-stress day and a large part of that had to do with having an amazing photographer.
I want to be that person for you!
Every detail | every moment | every emotion - captured forever to tell YOUR STORY.
Most days you can find me:
Chasing my son, Wesley, around the yard and our goldendoodle, Novella, following closely behind with a ball in her mouth. When I'm not working, you can find me curled up on the couch with a good book and a cup of loose-leaf tea balanced precariously in the cushions, gardening, running the trails, trying a new dark chocolate dessert recipe, traveling, learning about holistic medicine or talking about movies/video games with my wonderful husband, Nicholas.
Did you name your son after Wes Craven?
Although my husband is a huge horror movie fan, we did not name him after Wes Craven.
He is actually named after Westley from The Princess Bride. We own approximately 10 copies of the movie and Nick proposed to me by cutting a hole in the book (blasphemy!) and hiding a ring inside.
Wait, your dog is nutella? vanilla? what?
Her name is NOVELLA which in Italian means young & new.
Merriam-Webster defines a novella as "a work of fiction intermediate in length and complexity between a short story and a novel".
We got Novella right before we were married so at the beginning of our story & hopefully she will be around for many chapters of our novel.
What's with all the dahlias?
Over the past five years, gardening has become one of my greatest joys. There’s something about getting my hands in the dirt, watching things grow, and learning the rhythm of the seasons that feels so grounding. My love for dahlias, in particular, has grown year after year—I can never resist adding more to my collection! Their resilience amazes me just as much as their breathtaking blooms. No matter what the season throws at them, they come back stronger, more beautiful, and full of life. Kind of like us, don’t you think?
