But before we get into the details, there are some things you should know about us!
The Pups- Our big fur babies- Kimmy kim is our mudblood rescue & BB Girl is our rotty! Yes I am that dog mom who had portraits made of them haha!
Charleston, SC- We have been going there for vacation, work, and more the last 10 years & feel like one of the locals! I created a guide for our go to spots that can come in handy for new travelers! DM me on Instagram if you'd like a copy!
Succulents- I have a slight obsession since taking a deeper dive into learning how to care for them during the pandemic! I have at least 1 in every room of the house!
All things British- From the accent, tea time, the fun phrases, the shows- Great British Baking Show to be specific, etc. I also took a trip to London in HS and I've been dying to take another trip across the pond ever since!
I LOVE pops of color from beautiful bouquets! My favorite flowers are shades of pink peonies- I had these in my bridal bouquet!
Fall in Virginia- I'm a Hokie through and through and love the fall for the colors, football season, and the cooler temps!

I will be your go to for all things wedding planning with EHP! I am the one answering emails, sending you tips & tricks, the one who created your welcome gift & experience, and the one who will make your photo timeline!
I have been known to text my brides answering their questions, talking about life in general, and exchanging wedding planning ideas! I really do mean we become friends because the better I know you the better I can serve you and your family on the wedding day!
I am an open book and all about preventing bad things from happening! This means educating you on different parts of wedding planning and the wedding day that can "make it or break it"!
I want you to have a flawless and stress free wedding day and it's in the details where that can happen!

My role actually begins well before the wedding day. The week of your wedding I study your questionnaire, all my notes from our planning call, go over your family list, bridal party names, etc. This is really the secret behind our stress free wedding days.
The morning of, I arrive to the venue with James (usually early because in my mind if I'm on time, I'm actually late haha). I start with a hug and check in with you as you are getting pampered and get all your bridal details to start.
I try to hang out near your girls to get some candid shots of you and your besties hanging out all while getting beautiful photos of your bridal details. Once everyone is dressed we begin with portraits, first looks, and some family formals before the ceremony!
After the ceremony I am the one organizing family for family formals so everyone can join cocktail hour quickly. Then we cover your wedding day completely candid! For all the portrait time, I am the one posing you, making sure you look great, and making sure our portrait time is used efficiently. And then of course, we end the night with a hug good bye!

Bridal Details- I love getting creative with your invitation suite, flowers, rings, jewelry, family heirlooms, etc. This part of the day helps me "get in the zone" before we really get into taking photos.
Daddy/Daughter First Look & Dance- I am a Daddy's girl 1000%! So all these special moments on wedding days always make me tear up especially if your daddy starts to cry!
What I call the "Look of Love"- That moment right after the first kiss as husband and wife when your eyes connect and you realize Oh my gosh we did the dang thing! It's pure joy and adrenaline!
Fun Dances- I love it when couples or even the parent dances showcase some fun dance moves, spins, twirls, choreographed dances, etc. Adding something unexpected makes this moment fun and not so stuffy & awkward like the classic "hold and rotate" haha!
And my last one is probably not what you expected... Our photo with you!- Every wedding we get a photo with our EH Couple! This photo means so much to me because YOU are a part of my EHP family. You trusted & supported my business, my skill, my experience, and I will be forever grateful for you!

Nerdy things- Anything between modern technology, photo & video gear, Tesla's, Star Wars, LOTR, video games, etc. I'm the in house IT guy for EHP and fellow photographers in the area.
All things Apple- From the candle scents to the tech. I love how easy it is to use all the Apple products so seamlessly and it makes it easier for me to keep things straight.
Coke with a lime- I enjoy a coke with a lime every meal. If you haven't tried it before give it a try!
Concerts- I love music and concert photography. My favorite band is probably Twenty One Pilots and it would be a dream come true to cover one of their concerts!
Fall in Virginia- I'm a Liberty Flame, graduated in 2017 and love the fall for the cooler temps, football season, and the fall scented candles. When I was a student worker for Liberty's Marketing Department I had several of my photos published in the Liberty Journal. This photo of a half time show is one of my favorite published photos!

Wedding Day Duties
My role actually begins before the wedding day begins. The week of your wedding I prep all the gear, keep an eye on the weather, charge all the batteries, pack the car, handle all the logistics of travel, weather, etc.
The morning of, I arrive to the venue with Em and capture some candid shots of your venue, getting ready space, and help Em if needed hanging your wedding dress for a photo. I'm also an extra set of hands if I'm needed to help set anything up before the ceremony.
My biggest job is getting the guys to the ceremony on time, keep them hydrated, and I try my best to make them behave before the ceremony. It's usually pretty laid back for the guys and I like to be efficient with portraits so the guys can be done with photos quickly.
After the ceremony I capture things as they happen and get group photos of your guests. A big part of my role is actually backing up all the photos from the day during the reception. So don't be surprised if you see me off to the side behind the computer. This ensures we leave your wedding with a total of 3 copies of each photo we take!

Magazine worthy portraits- During portraits, Em usually takes over with posing but I'm focusing on the wider and more epic photos that are perfect for magazine covers! Several of my photos have been published in magazines and blogs so I'm always looking to get my next feature.
Photo compositions- I love challenging myself to find or create lead lines, and perfectly line you up in the rule of thirds. This can be tricky when the day moves quickly but I always make it a point to get a few of my portraits perfectly composed so you can hang these photos on your wall.
Reception Dancing- While I myself don't enjoy the dance floor, I do enjoy covering the open dance floor. You'll find me on the edge of all the excitement probably looking awkward but I promise I'm havin a good time. This photo of Tim is one of my all time favorite dancing photos!
Sunset portraits- I love creating that wow moment during bride & groom portraits. Photography is my passion and I love creating works of art for you to have for years to come in an album or a canvas on your wall.

We believe a strong marriage can change the world!
We have seen first hand how a strong marriage changed our life! Everyone has a purpose and a calling.

When you become an EHP Couple, James & I will be praying for your marriage and consider it an honor to be a part of your story to capture the beginning of your marriage & legacy!
Emily was my go to for all things wedding!
To say she was just my photographer would be an understatement. And whether you are photogenic, or not, Emily and James truly performs miracles. I truly cannot imagine anyone else taking my wedding photos.

"I seriously could go on and on about my amazing experience with them, but the bottom line: When you book Emily and James, you’re not just booking another wedding vendor who is in it for the money/job.
You are booking a couple who genuinely cares about their clients and who will very quickly turn into your friends :) I highly highly recommend them and know that you will not go wrong if you pick these two to be a part of your wedding! Thank you both for everything!
