Emily Avila Photography

For modern romantics who want to remember how it felt - and where awkward photos go to die + Hey, I’m Emily — a wedding photographer based in Lancaster, PA, serving Philly, New Jersey, and beyond. I photograph wildly-in-love, creative, sometimes-nerdy, always-authentic couples who care more about connection than perfection. My work blends true-to-color edits with rich, cinematic tones, and I shoot on both digital and 35mm film to bring a little texture, nostalgia, and realness to every gallery. Here for the fandom infused love stories, Tolkien inspired decor, grand editorial vibes...whatever is true to you.

Whether you’re getting married in a candlelit art gallery, your parents’ backyard, running a D&D campaign during cocktail hour or an indie venue with stained glass and disco balls, I’m here to capture the belly laughs, hand squeezes, and quiet moments that matter. I focus on storytelling over stiff poses — a mix of candid emotion, editorial mood, and the in-between magic you didn’t even realize was happening. You deserve photos that feel just like you — not a trend, not someone else’s Pinterest board. Just you and your person, being your full selves. If that sounds like your vibe, I’d love to hear your story. Hit the inquire button now!
