She is so organized and so sweet- exactly the kind of energy you want to be around on your big day! We gave her a pretty tight window of time to complete our shot list for our wedding and she got everything done in a timely and calm manner. Emily really knows what she’s doing and told my husband and I how to pose and where to look and every single photo turned out absolutely perfect! She insisted we took 10 minutes to do golden hour photos during dinner and I am so glad she did! They ended up being my favorite photos! Her light and airy style was perfect for our spring wedding!

From helping me plan a surprise proposal, to doing our engagement pictures, then capping it off with our beautiful wedding photos - she has been an AMAZING photographer, and extraordinary person. Her skills speak for themselves, you will be wanting to hang every photo she takes in your home. But to speak of her as a human, she will go above and beyond to make your life as easy as she possibly can. Choosing Emily Condra Photography was the easiest decision we made through our wedding planning process

If you are looking to take a stranger's advice, this is the one you should listen to. Emily is a fantastic photographer and an awesome person. She took every question and vision incredibly seriously and was always prompt with her response. Our photos exceeded our wildest dreams and we haven’t stopped looking at them. Her creativity and eye for detail will leave you with a photo deck you’ll want to print every picture from

Working with Emily as our wedding photographer was one of the best parts of our entire wedding experience. From the very first phone call, we could feel how excited she was to be part of our day. She asked thoughtful questions about our love story and truly took the time to get to know us as a couple, which meant so much. Throughout the planning process, Emily was an excellent communicator and always made us feel supported and confident. On the wedding day, she was an absolute joy to work with, very professional, uplifting, and genuinely invested in making the day special. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!🤍

Not only are you going to end up with the most stunning photos, but also you’re going to have a built-in hype girl, time keeper, and energy booster. She has such a kind heart and is an extremely talented photographer. We loved working with her and multiple people in our family and wedding party said she’s the best wedding photographer they’ve ever seen.
"Emily is THE photographer you want for your big day"
I like to think it’s pretty simple. You’ll start by inquiring, then we’ll chat and hop on a call to make sure we’re a good fit. Once you officially book, we’ll plan your engagement session and begin dreaming up your wedding day together. About two months before your wedding, we’ll hop on another call to walk through your timeline and final details. All of this is so that when your wedding day arrives, you feel relaxed, confident, and fully present, knowing we’re completely aligned on your vision.
My home base is Charlotte, North Carolina, and weddings within a 2.5-hour radius are included in my pricing. For anything beyond that, I simply ask that travel be covered, such as hotel, gas, or airfare if needed. For engagement sessions, locations within 30 miles are included, and anything beyond that will require a travel fee calculated at the current government mileage rate of 70 cents per mile. Every wedding is unique, and we’ll talk through all travel details during our initial call so everything feels clear and there are no surprises in the booking process.
I know how exciting and nerve-wracking it can be to wait for that delivery email, so I make it a priority to get your photos to you as quickly as possible. Wedding galleries are delivered on your one-month anniversary, while engagement and lifestyle sessions are delivered within two weeks. I intentionally limit the number of sessions I book each month so I can maintain the quality of your images while still offering a quick and thoughtful turnaround. And just to note, you never pay per photo. Each package includes a thoughtfully curated gallery with a specific number of images, so there are no additional costs per image.
Yes! Depending on the package you book, you’ll receive 50 to 100 sneak peek photos within 24 to 48 hours of your wedding day. They’re perfect for reliving the day, sharing with family and friends, and posting all the “we’re married!” photos while the full gallery is being lovingly prepared.
To secure your wedding date, a 20% retainer is due at the time of booking. After that, I’m happy to break up the remaining balance in a way that works best for you. The final payment is due one month before your wedding day so you can focus on the last little details and fully enjoy the weeks leading up to your big day.
I’d love to help. Reach out anytime and I’m happy to answer anything that’s on your mind. No question is a dumb question in my book, and since I live in the world of weddings, I’m always here to be a resource for you.
