About
Emma Kirchoff is a wedding photographer drawn to timeless, artful storytelling and the beauty of real connection. With a relaxed, emotive approach, she documents weddings as they naturally unfold—capturing moments that feel honest, effortless, and full of life.
Blending digital and film photography, Emma’s work has a soft, cinematic quality inspired by movement, light, and the fleeting in-between moments that often matter most. Guided by both photojournalism and fine art, she creates imagery that feels intentional yet unposed—a true reflection of how the day felt, not just how it looked.
Emma began her career in Savannah, Georgia, where the city’s history, light, and sense of romance deeply shaped her approach to storytelling. Now based in Washington, D.C., she photographs weddings near and far, bringing a calm, easy-going presence to every celebration she documents.

Emma's work is guided by a simple idea: wedding photography should feel genuine. She’s drawn to honest moments, natural movement, and the kind of emotion that doesn’t need to be staged. Her approach is calm and intentional — giving enough direction when needed, but mostly allowing the day to unfold as it should.
She uses film, digital, and Super 8mm to document each celebration with depth and texture. Film brings a sense of nostalgia, digital captures clarity and detail, and Super 8mm adds motion and energy — together creating a story that feels layered and real.
Emma’s photos have the ease and familiarity of something a friend might take — thoughtful, relaxed, and true to how the day actually felt.
