candid, story-driven photography for couples, weddings, families, and all the moments worth remembering
based in Pittsburgh, PA
Hi, I'm Emily! — the photographer behind Wild Rose Photo.
this is why I'm better *behind * the camera
I believe photographs are more than just pictures. They're proof you were here. Proof you loved people. Proof of the beautifully ordinary moments that make up a life.
My approach is simple: less pressure, more presence. I don't want you worrying about what to do with your hands or whether you're doing it “right.” We'll move around, talk, laugh, wander a little, and let things unfold naturally.
Whether I'm photographing a couple wildly in love, a wedding day, a growing family, or simply a season of life worth remembering, I'm looking for the same things : connection, movement, personality, and all the little moments happening in between.
Based in Pittsburgh and photographing stories throughout Western Pennsylvania.
For the wildly in love, sentimental, and softly nostalgic.
I'm so glad you're here!

For people who don't know what to do in front of a camera.
“I could not be happier with my experience with Emily. She was punctual, thorough, creative and so easy to work with. She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable taking photos in a busy museum. Absolutely amazing experience and 10/10 recommend booking with her. Thank you again! I will cherish these beautiful photos for life.”

“Emily took my sons’ Christmas pictures and I cannot recommend her enough! The entire experience was wonderful! Two young boys can be hard to photograph, but she was so patient and fun with them, catching them in natural poses and capturing their truest selves. The most special pictures to me are the candid ones that will let me remember these special moments! I can’t wait for our next session with Emily, and highly recommend Wild Rose Photo!”
