Emily Wren Photography

Emily Wren Photography I get a true sense of fulfillment preserving the most important moments in people's lives. This is the joy that dives me to be a wedding photographer.

My approach is very personal. I always come away from a wedding feeling like I've just experienced something beautiful between close friends. For me, the most important thing is to capture the love between you and your partner honestly. It's this intimate approach that will help you feel at ease and comfortable with the camera, highlighting the organic beauty that is revealed when people really feel like themselves. I earned a degree in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), one of the most prestigious photography programs in the country. This level of experience and training comes heavily into play while capturing your special day. I am drawing on a bank of knowledge and know-how that has taken years in the field to master. Of course I also come with a wide assortment of top-of-the-line equipment. I bring multiple high end cameras, spectacular lenses, gorgeous lighting and flashes, and more importantly_,_ the knowledge to use this equipment to it's fullest potential. The result is a simple and fresh aesthetic, rich in narrative images and telling details. Every wedding is unique. Most weddings are a combination of timeless traditions and spontaneous celebrations. As your photographer, I am constantly open to possibility, seeking out the nuanced shots that tell the story of your love. There are certain moments I expect to photograph of course, and then there are the photos that can't possibly be planned, but are full of emotion and truth. Sometimes it's these moments in between the poses that tell your story best.

I loved this little detail from Kat & John’s reception 🌼 A sprig of chamomile at every place setting felt so perfect for the elevated farm-to-table feel of their wedding at Beach Plum Farm. Simple, thoughtful, and so beautifully done.

I want a wedding gallery to feel like a complete visual world. The portraits you’ll frame. The architecture and design that establish a sense of place. The tiny details you spent months choosing. The emotional, unscripted moments. And then those artful frames that you may never have imagined beforehand, but somehow capture exactly how the day felt.

Caroline & Chris gave us so much to work with! From the incredible architecture of the Basillica and The Ritz-Carlton to candlelit marble, sculptural winter florals, black tie fashion, and a wedding party that was completely game for creating with us. 🤍 And Having a third photographer with us gave us even more space to experiment and create.

This is the kind of work I’m excited to keep making. Intentional, expressive, fashion-minded, documentary, and full of life. So thrilled to see their celebration featured in Modern Luxury Weddings Phila. and so grateful to Caroline & Chris for trusting us with the freedom to create. ✨

Kat & John’s wedding at Beach Plum Farm was the perfect balance of laid-back and refined. Tucked away in Cape May, the farm is such a special gem, with winding shell paths, lush gardens, charming cottages, weathered barns, and beautiful spaces that invite you to settle in and experience the property. From Kat & John’s private vows along the shell paths and portraits through the gardens, to their outdoor ceremony surrounded by wild, textural florals, the entire day felt connected to the natural beauty of the farm. 🤍

Philadelphia Wedding Planner & Designer brought the vision for the day to life through thoughtful design and planning that felt completely at home in the setting. Cocktail hour brought fresh oysters and farm-to-table bites in the boxwood gardens before everyone gathered beneath the sail tent for dinner. Sea-glass details, scalloped linens, chamomile tucked into each place setting, family-style dinner, and a vintage-inspired cake made the reception feel thoughtful and refined in an effortless way.

By the end of the night, Kat & John were completely lost in the dance floor—laughing, spinning, and soaking up every last bit of it. A beautiful reminder that elegance can still feel easy. ✨

The reflecting pool inside Longwood Gardens’ Conservatory becomes an entirely different space on a wedding day. The pool is drained, creating this incredible reception setting surrounded by glass, soaring palms and layers of living greenery.

It’s one of those spaces that really doesn’t need much added to it. For Danielle & Curt’s reception, long farm tables and wood chairs from Party Rental Ltd. brought just enough warmth and structure, while the saturated florals carried the color through the room.

The Conservatory did the rest.

Claire & Spencer’s spring wedding at Parque was full of beautiful contrasts—the softness of Claire’s gown against Parque’s old stone and dark wood, the black wedding party attire against the gardens, and florals that brought so much color, texture and movement into every part of the day.

These two were also just incredibly fun to photograph. Claire has such an expressive, joyful energy, and she and Spencer moved through the day with this easy affection that made even the more composed portraits feel natural and full of life.

And then, of course, the flowers. A Garden Party Florist has such a distinctive way of designing. Dawn incorporates unexpected varieties and elements from her own garden, and there’s always something wonderfully untamed about the result. The arrangements feel layered, textural and alive—as though they belong to the landscape around them.

The reception design was another standout. Claire & Spencer were the first couple to use serpentine tables at Parque, creating these beautiful curved lines through the room. Layered with garden-inspired florals, taper candles, patterned china and soft gray linens, the tables felt incredibly elegant while still keeping that organic quality that ran through the entire day.

I’ll be back at Parque again this weekend for Emily & Morgan’s wedding, and I’m already excited to see the property transformed all over again. 🤍

What you see vs. what I see. 🤍

The finished photographs are polished, effortless and cinematic—but behind every frame is a lot of movement, problem-solving, anticipation and attention to the smallest details.

From Danielle getting ready at Hotel Du Pont to the Conservatory at Longwood Gardens, this is a little glimpse of the perspective behind the final images.

Because the best photographs come from knowing when to direct, when to anticipate, and when to simply let the moment unfold.

There are few settings quite as spectacular as Longwood Gardens for a wedding day. ✨

Danielle, Miss Global USA 2023, and her husband Curt welcomed their guests to a full private buyout of Longwood Gardens, with the grounds entirely theirs for the evening.

The day moved from portraits among Longwood’s iconic fountains and gardens to dinner beneath the soaring glass ceilings of the Conservatory, surrounded by lush greenery, rich crimson florals and candlelight.

And after dark, everyone gathered outside for a private fountain show complete with fire, a drumline and ballerians and a custom grand finale for the newlyweds.

Photographing Danielle in her lace gown throughout the gardens, from the Main Fountain Garden in full afternoon light to the fountains illuminated after dark, was one of those rare wedding days where every part of the setting felt cinematic.

An incredible setting for a celebration of this scale, and such a memorable wedding to document from beginning to end. 🤍
