About Emily Carlson Photography

Emily Carlson Photography

Hi! I'm Emily Carlson, a wedding photographer serving couples across Southern California and beyond. With a calm, people-focused approach, I create bright, timeless images that reflect the joy, connection, and heart of your day. I'm passionate about helping couples feel relaxed, supported, and fully present so you can enjoy every moment while I document your story authentically and beautifully.

What sets me apart is the care I pour into every couple I work with. I genuinely love weddings!! The emotion, the anticipation, the connection all bring me such joy! I treat each one with the significance it deserves. By taking the time to understand what matters most to you, I photograph with intention, & create images that reflect the heart of your relationship rather than simply documenting the day.

Amazing Engagement/Wedding Photography
From our first conversation, Emily made us feel at ease with her warm approach and genuine interest in our vision. She asked thoughtful questions to understand the vibe we wanted, then delivered photos that captured exactly that—plus all the raw emotions we'll treasure forever. Her work is absolutely breathtaking, and you can see how meticulous she is in every shot. Emily stayed on schedule throughout the day while keeping everything feeling natural and intimate, which shows her professionalism without being rigid. We couldn't be happier with how she brought our wedding story to life, and we'd recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who truly listens and delivers.

Wedding couple
Emily was absolutely wonderful with our wedding pictures. She did so well at ensuring to capture our day just perfect! We’re obsessed with them! She was so patient with us & our kids, allowed me to take breaks when I needed & made sure we got everything we wanted & more!! She’s been there thru our family pics, newborn sessions & engagement as well. We can’t recommend her enough! Can’t wait to use here again in the future for whatever life brings us! Thank you again, Emily. We’ll cherish these forever!

Can’t recommend Emily Enough!!!
From our first conversation with Emily Carlson Photography, we knew we had found someone special. She was responsive to our questions, genuinely kind, and willing to work with us on all the details. For our engagement photos Emily had a gift for making us forget the camera was even there—she captured real moments of giggles. She also suggested some beautiful spots for photos that we never would have thought of on our own. The photos came back quickly and they're absolutely stunning, with a bright and airy feel that perfectly matches our style. We'd recommend Emily to anyone looking for a photographer who is easy to work with and delivers gorgeous images.

STUNNING WEDDING PHOTOS! CAPTURED EVERY MOMENT!
Emily Carlson Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Emily's warm, attentive and reassuring communication style put us at ease and made the entire process seamless. Her bright, sharp, high quality and warm photography captured all the raw, candid moments that we will cherish forever. Emily has an incredible eye for detail and was able to beautifully document our special day, from the formal portraits to the in-between candid shots. She was so helpful in guiding us through posing during the formal photos, while also managing to get stunning, natural shots. Emily's quick turnaround time also meant we got to relive our wedding day just weeks after the event. We are thrilled with the timeless photos she delivered, and our family and friends were equally impressed. Emily’s kindness and strong work ethic shone through in every interaction she had with our bridal party and guests throughout the day. We truly cannot recommend Emily Carlson Photography highly enough.
