About Emma Melin Studios
Emma Melin Studios
Hey there, I'm Emma! I am an outgoing and free-spirited photographer living in Manhattan (but born & raised in the Midwest! My heart longs for creating art and telling remarkable stories. I love a good trip to the farmers market, a wine night with my friends, and spending time with my loved ones. Emma Melin Studios is queer-owned and is an inclusive wedding vendor!
Life is about enjoying the little things. Like dancing in the kitchen with your partner or breakfast in bed on a Sunday. My job is as your photographer to show you how these seemingly minuscule moments are something truly beautiful. Emma Melin Studios exists to preserve your most precious and beautiful moments, no matter how big or small.

The best NYC wedding photographer in the biz
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Emma. From start to finish, she exceeded every expectation we had. We hired her to photograph our intimate micro-wedding in NYC, and the results were nothing short of perfection. Every photo is filled with emotion and authenticity—she captured our day in a way that feels deeply personal. Despite a last-minute change in our schedule due to the weather, Emma was flexible and gracious, which made a potentially stressful situation feel seamless. We’re both pretty awkward in front of the camera, but she gave thoughtful direction that made us feel immediately comfortable and natural. Some of our most treasured photos are the candid moments—us laughing, our families celebrating etc. We also chose to do the film add-on, and the film photos are absolutely stunning. They have a nostalgic, dreamy quality that we love. Emma is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to be around. We’re so grateful to her for preserving our wedding day in such thoughtful way. If you're considering working with her, don’t hesitate—she’s truly the best decision we made!
Our amazing experience with Emma!
We have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with Emma! She made everything special on our wedding day, down to the details. We had a family tragedy happen a couple days before our wedding, and our spirits were very low, and stress levels were high, but Emma brought such a positive energy to our day, and alleviated a lot of our stress. We were instantly drawn to her work, she doesn’t just capture a moment, she brings her own creativity, and unique vision to her photos. We are both artists and we wanted photos that would also reflect that. We are so happy with how our photos and video turned out, all of the creative choices she took, and the time and effort she put in to make our special day translate beautifully into photos we can treasure forever. We really appreciated how she made time to get to know us as a couple, chat with us, and the care she put into all of the details. We truly felt heard, cared for and we had no doubt that she would do an amazing job capturing our love. It was really easy to let go in the process, because she was so organized, a clear communicator, and answered all our questions that came up along the way. Despite there being some unexpected tragedy and sadness surrounding our day, it was still magical, and a huge part of that was due to Emma. She is an incredible photographer, and person! When we look at our photos we only see the joy, and the love from our day, and we are so grateful she was able to capture that for us. -Janel & Cam Allen-O’Neal
The BEST
Emma was truly amazing - she is friendly, responsive and captured beautiful photos. For both our engagement session and the wedding day, she made us comfortable in front of the camera and really enjoy the photo process, which is something my husband and I were not expecting at all! She turnaround our previews so quickly, and each picture is better than the last. 10 stars out of 5!
Not just photos, but a whole experience
My partner and I heard about Emma through multiple channels, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that she was fated to capture our wedding. From the first discovery call, it was clear that Emma understood our vision for our wedding day and truly delivered down to the last detail. She’s a top-notch communicator and incredibly generous with her time and her work. We would readily recommend her to any couple looking for a photographic experience before, during, and after their wedding.
