    Natural, Beautiful

    Emily Ruth is sunshine in human form! She is a gifted photographer we worked with as our wedding photographer in 2025. Her personality is sparkling - a joy to collaborate with. She listens to your vision and hopes and asks thoughtful questions during the design process to be sure you and she are in alignment. She is highly responsive and transparent in all business communications. Her photos capture emotions and candid moments forever. She's a joy to work with day of your wedding, like your friend. She's a warm, calming presence and, yet also disappears, capturing incredible moments you didn't even know she saw 3. The quality of her work is unparalleled. We HIGHLY recommend her for all your professional photo needs.

    Anniversary photoshoot

    If I could give 10 stars I would. Emily is truly the easiest to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She always keeps you updated on the progress of your photos. Every year we do an annual photo shoot of my husband and I for our wedding anniversary and I fall more in love with them year after year! We always look forward to getting them done! Thank you so much Emily for your beautiful work!

    FUN !

    From our first call with Emily, we knew she would be the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Her communication style was just right - not overbearing, but there when we needed her guidance and expertise. The quality of her work was fantastic, and we felt we got great value for the fair price she charged. Emily and her team were able to capture all the fun, candid moments with our guests that we would have surely missed on our own. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that allow us to relive our special day over and over again. Emily Ruth Photography was a wonderful addition to our wedding vendor team!

    THE BEST!!!

    My Husband and I got married back in September and, we cannot say more about Emily!!! From the very beginning to her communication skills and just talking me off the ledge multiple times! To fixing our timeline schedule several times! She was always there to help!! Emily made Christian and I feel so comfortable from our engagement shoot to our wedding day!! We knew that she would capture everything that was important to us! AND SHE DID! Every photo she took was pure magic or a moment we will remember forever. Her second shooter was amazing as well and very easy to work with! I would recommend Emily over and over again!! Jordan Christian!

Wedding/elopement galleries range 800-1100 edited high resolution images. Engagement/lifestyle sessions include a minimum of 40+. It depends on the number of hours and what your day is like! Each image is hand-edited with intention, love and care.
You can expect your wedding/elopement gallery in 8-10 weeks. Previews are sent within 1 week of your wedding. Engagement sessions are delivered in 2-3 weeks. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the expedited fee. Print services are built into your gallery as well!
Typically, couples book me about 10-13 months before their wedding date. Elopements vary with booking as little as 3 months out. I encourage you to contact me as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame! I take on a limited number of weddings per year to give my couples the best of their experience with me.
There's no designated videographer on my team as of yet, but I have a referral list of wonderful videographers I can send you! I'm in the process of learning video myself - I do take video clips throughout my sessions/wedding days. A 60 second highlight video can be added onto your collection upon request.
I’m based in Kent, Ohio and serve the Akron and Cleveland, Ohio areas most frequently. I've also photographed weddings/elopements in Virginia, California, Tennessee, Utah, etc - so travel is highly encouraged! And if there’s pizza or the beach is involved, then absolutely count me in!
I specialize in weddings and elopements, but photographing families, maternity, and other lifestyle moments are also loves of mine! It's the sweetest feeling when wedding clients come back to me to document their new and exciting seasons of life.
Even as a photographer, I still get nervous being in front of the camera! But don't worry, I will help gently guide you and give plenty of direction for how to move in front of my camera in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident! No stiff or boring posing either! I promise we're gonna have a fun time and you'll actually enjoy the process as much as the photos themselves.
For weddings and elopements, the first payment is a 30% non-refundable retainer and is due at the time of booking as well as contract signature. The retainer is non-refundable as it helps protect my business while turning away other business for your date. The remaining payments are split up into 2-3 installments. You can even set them to auto-pay! The second payment is due midway between booking and your wedding date. The final payment is due 30 days before your wedding date.
