"Our wedding photographY literally takeS me back to the wedding day."
"I saw Emily's photos and felt like I was there, like I actually knew the people IN EMILY'S PHOTOS."
Nina + JOshua
Ashley + Thiago
Some photos make your heart race — alive, unfiltered, grainy, in motion. Others stop you in your tracks —artfully guided, elegant, editorial.
I shoot both, because that’s the honest truth about love stories.
"Emily was an absolute joy to be around. She had an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time to capture the most incredible candid moments."
CAROLINE + MATTHEW
I've proudly owned EMILY WILKERSON PHOTO, a boutique wedding wedding photography business for almost a decade and have had the amazing experience of photographing hundreds of love stories over the years.
EMILY WILKERSON PHOTO has now grown into a small team of wedding photographers based in Philadelphia. We're focused on joy-sparking moments of authenticity that feel effortless and true to you.
But beyond your photos, we're passionate about your marriage and your whole life together, not just your wedding. We're excited about your legacy, and the next step this is for your whole family.
A wedding isn't just a day. It's a page in a journey.
We treat your wedding like it's day one of your marriage.
Every image is crafted to bring you back to the thrills of day one, so you can savor how your wedding felt in sickness and health, for richer and for poorer, 'til death do you part.
Handcrafted photo books with supple, museum grade paper and archival ink.
Your photographs shouldn't live exclusively on a screen.
Each couple receives a handcrafted heirloom album—designed to be lived with, passed around the dinner table, and pulled off the shelf twenty years from now.
Here at EMILY WILKERSON PHOTO, we're passionate about savoring the small things, filling your life and home with your most sacred memories to have, and to hold.
