Emry Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Mountain Center, CA

We are Emry Photography, A husband & wife photography team turned photo+cinema collective. We have a knack for turning strangers into friends & we love a good party. We work with the best couples in the world, telling love stories truthfully & without boundaries. We show up when you ask us to & don't leave until your story is told. We may take you off roading or steal you a few minutes for sunset, because we aren't satisfied until we know something couldn't be done any better. Our work is characterized by light, color and story through unguarded moments. We can't wait to tell your story.

“I've had the pleasure of working with Emry as a wedding coordinator for years. Behind the scenes, they are AMAZING to work with. They always have the client's best interest in mind, they're flexible with changes, they stay on time with photos (which sadly, is rare these days!), and they go above and beyond to help make the wedding day go smoothly. That's why when I got engaged, they were one of the first people I texted. I knew I’d be able to relax and enjoy the day with Emily and Ryan there, and they exceeded every expectation. They are incredibly organized, supportive from start to finish, and the photos speak for themselves... absolutely beautiful. Their entire team has such a creative eye for detail, and they make everything feel effortless. If you’re not used to being in front of a camera, they guide you every step of the way, from how to stand, where to put your hands, and even making sure family photos look cohesive (no sunglasses, no phones in pockets, etc.). My husband also had a dream picture he wanted taken with his motorcycle, and the dedication they put into getting the perfect shot is unmatched haha I can’t express how grateful I am to the Emry team. They played such a huge role in making our day feel seamless, and I’m beyond thankful they were a part of it.”

I'm Nancy, photographer and creative ringleader behind Easton Studios. Fourteen years in and I'm somehow more obsessed than when I started. You can be a total natural in front of the camera or never know what to do with your hands, but my job is the same: make it fun and make it you. I'll step in and direct when it'll make the photo better and let the real moments unfold exactly as they happen. You'll always find me geeking out about lighting, strolling around like I've lost something when really I'm looking for the best light to "speak" to me. Hundreds of weddings in and that search for the right light never gets old.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Nancy is an incredibly talented photographer and an even more amazing person to work with! From the moment we first spoke with her during our consultation, she inspired so much confidence in us with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine excitement for capturing our story. She made us feel so welcomed and at ease, which carried through to our engagement shoot and, ultimately, our wedding day. Nancy is not only a true artist behind the camera but also someone who genuinely listens to your dreams and brings them to life. She was eager to incorporate every wedding shot our hearts and souls desired, and the results were beyond anything we could have imagined. She went above and beyond, exceeding every expectation and leaving us with photos we will treasure forever. I’ve been raving to my friends and family about Nancy’s talent ever since the wedding! Her ability to capture both the raw emotion and little details of the day is unmatched, and she makes the entire process so joyful and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer who is easy to be around, makes you feel comfortable and confident, and creates stunning work, Nancy is "THE ONE". We are so grateful for her and will cherish her photos for a lifetime!”

Whether your celebration is an intimate gathering or a grand event, I focus on telling your story in a way that feels genuine and effortless.

My husband and I are both very awkward in front of the camera but she did an amazing job guiding us through different poses and capturing flattering angles.

Blyssful Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Mountain Center, CA

Hi, I'm Alyssa, the heart behind Blyssful Photography. Over ten years ago, I picked up a camera simply because I loved capturing moments when my first son was born. What started as a creative passion savoring every sweet moment I had as a new mom quickly turned into something so much bigger; a career built around celebrating love, connection, and the people who matter most.

“I’ve known Alyssa since we were little so I know her as a super close friend for YEARS but getting to watch her photography journey from the very beginning has been so special. I remember when she first started and now seeing where she is now makes me so proud. She’s worked so hard and it TRULY shows in every photo she takes! What I love most isn’t just how talented she is, it’s who she is as a person. She has this way of making you feel comfortable and heard from the second you meet her. It doesn’t matter if you’ve known her forever or just met her she makes you feel like family. She actually listens to what you want, cares about the little details & wants your photos to feel like YOU and your family and what that looks like to you! ALSO her pricing is SO reasonable for the quality you receive (which is unbelievable). She pours so much time, heart & effort into every session and you can DEFINITELY see that in all her photos! I also know how hard she works after she takes your photos. When it comes to editing and perfecting them as much as she can to get them back to you as fast as she can! She’s on it!!! Her photography is soooo worth it and I can honestly say you’ll never regret booking with her, ever. She is seriously the best. I live in a different state and I will forever use her even if that means driving to her state to get photos done by her!!! Alyssa is one of the kindest, most genuine people I know!! Honestly couldn’t recommend her more. If you’re thinking about booking with her, DO IT. You’ll leave with the most beautiful photos, of course, but you’ll also feel like you made a new friend and family member!! I promise you’ll continue to come back time after time. She’s amazing! We love Alyssa and her family!! She has the two sweetest boys!”

I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

“My husband and I hired Emily as our photographer after a friend of mine posted her wedding photos to her Instagram over a year ago. I wasn't keen on the venue's recommendations and I couldn't seem to find a photographer that was worth the money. Thank goodness for my friend posting her wedding photos at the time she did because I was about to pick any photographer for the sake of it. Her wedding shots were so gorgeous! The veil shots? Chef's kiss! I reached out to Emily and we hopped on a call a few days later. She is so easy to talk to and relatable. We went over things about what I want and what to expect. The day of our wedding she went right into the groove of things even though my mom showed up an hour late to the venue for photos. I was stressing and she made sure I forgot about that! She got shots I didn't even think of. She made those awkward laughing photos super fun. I cannot thank Emily and her second shooter, David, enough.”

Hi there! I’m Jacey, the heart behind Gypsee Photo & Film. Based in Palm Springs but ready to travel, I capture love stories with soul, blending digital and 35mm film photography. With over 15 years of experience, I focus on creating timeless, authentic memories. Beyond the lens, I’m a mom of two and a sourdough baker. My style is warm, editorial, and true to you—crafted to let you relive your day with joy. Can’t wait to meet you and capture your love story.

“We absolutely love working with Gypsee Photo and Film at CRC! Their romantic, timeless style captures each couple’s love story so beautifully—it’s like watching a dreamy fairytale come to life through every image and film. They have such a talent for finding those quiet, emotional moments and making them feel cinematic and heartfelt. Not only is their work consistently stunning, but their team is also warm, professional, and such a calming presence on a wedding day. Our couples always feel at ease with them and are thrilled with the final gallery and video—they’re truly storytellers through and through. Gypsee Photo and Film is one of our favorite creative partners, and we’re always excited when they’re behind the lens at The Villa or The Barn!”

Hey, I'm Alex! A sappy, soulful, empathic human who believes #loveislove, all relationships are uniquely special, and both sides are your good sides with a little confidence and a built-in cheerleader (aka me). Being part of a couples' wedding day is the ultimate honor. My goal is to capture your love at its most natural, your wedding details like they're straight out of a magazine, and your candid family like a National Geographic photog would. Coming from a big family with lots of personality (hellooo I'm the oldest of 8), I "get" what you're feeling as you plan this wedding and I'm here ensure you LIVE FULLY on your wedding day.

“Talented. Professional. Fun. We feel like we struck gold with Alex as our wedding photographer! We wanted a photographer that could do it all: capture real emotion, help create some editorial moments, and deliver fantastic family portraits - and we got that and more with Alex. We are so happy with the results! We’re also so glad we did an engagement shoot prior to our wedding. It allowed us to get comfortable being in front of the camera and when it came time for our wedding day, it felt like Alex was just one more friend in the room who just happened to be capturing every special moment.”
