Meet Emily - Emily Loeppke Photography

Your wedding is cause for celebration.

My approach empowers you to live in the moment, prioritize the photos most important to you, and enjoy a full, start-to-finish collection of images that captures you impeccably and helps you feel like your best self on your wedding day.

Incredible photography doesn’t mean you should sacrifice the ability to be present with your nearest and dearest (after all, this combination of loved ones in the same space is the very definition of “special occasion”).

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 13 years, focused on effortless, artful documentation from the very beginning. After experience in visual merchandising, studying marketing in Paris, and earning valuable business acumen in the corporate world, I transitioned to photography (always my first love after taking a film photography course in high school) and never looked back.

Even after over a decade, my adoration for weddings is unwavering. My empathic personality and holistic approach help to foster a warm, effortless experience.

When not behind the camera, I’m enjoying newlywed life at home with my husband on the California coast.
