Hi Hello,

thank you for being here

I'm Emily, the gal behind Emily Mary photography.
A hopeless romantic, adventurer, tea enthusiast, crochet lover, floral admirer and country music listener.

My photography journey began with my love for nature; you’d find me out in my parents garden in England for hours or taking a walk by the corn fields across the road, insisting my younger sister join me and always with a camera in hand, seeking inspiration in the everyday familiarities.

When I left to travel in early 2016, you can bet the most important item in my suitcase was my camera. I spent the next two years road-tripping and exploring the incredibly beautiful New Zealand. This is where I would also meet my now husband, who has been my biggest supporter from the beginning, helping me find the confidence to pursue photography further, ultimately leading to the transition into portrait photography and a passion for telling the unique stories of families and couples, who welcome me into a small glimpse of their lives. I now live in BC, Canada, with my Canadian better half, and am grateful every day to be living this dream in this stunning part of the world.

Always be reminded of moments in time
with the ones you love most

As a Brit living in Canada, nothing is more important than documenting time with loved ones and freezing memories forever. The distance from my family, who still reside in England, is the hardest aspect of living in another country. Other than the many video calls, what helps me to feel connected to my family and vice versa, are the photographs decorating the walls or the easily accessible photo albums; these keep my family a little closer to home here in Canada. This is why I am passionate about giving the gift of photos to families and couples in all stages of life, so you, too, have something to always look back at and remember the special moments in time with the ones you love most.
