About

Hello there! My name is Emily Lester, and I've been photographing weddings since 2010. I love photographing the emotions of a wedding day. It's truly an honor to be such a big part of such an important life event.

Photography became a passion of mine when I saw my first film print rise from a blank piece of photo paper in the dark room when I was in college.There's something so magical about it. People began commenting on my photographs and suddenly it became much more than just snapping shots. It is a gift that I feel is not mine rather I am supposed to share it. Photography has stolen my heart.

I love getting to know the people I photograph and capturing their stories. Photographs can say so much without any words at all. With the click of a button, time is frozen in that moment and memories are captured for a lifetime. I want my images to tug at your heart strings, bring a smile to your face or a tear to your eye, and to show you how beautiful you, your children, your fiance, wife, husband, family or pets are because there's no one else in the world like you.

Incredible!

There are not enough words to explain what a joy Emily is to work with and just how awesome her photography skills are. We met her while she was photographing a friends wedding and knew right away she was our “have to have” vendor when we got engaged. When it came to planning, Emily was a rockstar- detail oriented, patient, kind, flexible and responsive. On photo session days, she brought out the best (and smiliest) versions of everyone there. She’s got a knack at helping you channel your inner model and capturing a whole personality in a photo. She’s got lifelong clients in us and we cannot recommend her enough!
