About Emma Melin Studios

Emma Melin Studios

Documentary Wedding Photographer

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.

  • Amazing to Work With — Highly Recommend

    Emma was incredible from start to finish. Our engagement session with her was amazing. She understood our vision right away and captured it beautifully, which made us so excited for the wedding. On our wedding day, she brought that same warmth and calm energy. Our families were a little chaotic at times, but Emma handled everything with so much patience, kindness, and professionalism. She guided us effortlessly, kept things running smoothly, and made us feel completely cared for the entire day. The photos we’ve gotten so far are stunning! She has a true gift for capturing real emotion and genuine moments. We are beyond grateful we chose her and can’t recommend her enough.

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Emma. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, communicative and so easy to work with. On our wedding day, she made everyone feel comfortable and truly captured the joy and emotion of the moment. The photos turned out amazing and we’re so grateful to have had such a talented photographer document our day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who’s not only amazing at what they do but also an absolute pleasure to work with.

    We feel so lucky that Emma was our photographer, it was one of the best decisions we could have made! We are so in love with our wedding pictures and were blown away by Emma’s talent. Emma has such a gift for capturing every moment as it happens. She was game to follow us all over the city, making our vision come to life. Plus, she has such a calming and assuring presence which is a huge bonus on wedding day. So glad we did the film add on, so many of our favorite shots were on film. We can’t recommend Emma enough!

    From the moment I booked Emma Melin Studios for my branding photos, her communication was prompt, thoughtful, and creatively driven. Emma put together an incredibly bespoke experience that felt so personal to my brand. Emma made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera, capturing all the special moments in a beautiful and natural way. The final photos were stunning - I'm thrilled with the quality and value of Emma's work. I couldn't recommend her more!! 33
