MEET EMILY

basically, just bring me coffee and macarons and we will likely be the best of friends.


Thanks so much for stopping by!

I am a Texas Wedding Photographer based out of the beautiful (in its own way), dusty, desert of Lubbock, but available for travel worldwide! My passion for people and art turned into a business about seven years ago, and I haven't looked back since!

from me, to you

Over the past few years, I have been able to be a key part of people's stories as they venture through the most important seasons in their lives, from graduation, to engagement, MARRIAGE (which is the best), to starting a family. Every season has it’s purpose and beauty, and there is nothing like capturing these memories and turning them into tangible photos. These photos last a lifetime and turn into heirlooms to pass down through generations. while I’m in love with so many genres of portrait photography, my heart is marriage + Weddings. I love the whole process, from proposals, to planning, engagement and bridals, to the actual wedding day! it brings me so much joy to partner with my couples in this season!

I am passionate about creating fresh, genuine images that are timeless and beautiful! I love creating an exceptional experience for my clients and am thankful to call so many of them dear friends. What you receive with Emily Koontz Photo is an intentional and personal client experience, a friend and advocate through your wedding planning journey, and beautiful, timeless photographs that tell your unique love story.

In my spare time, I love spending time with my incredible husband michael (again, marriage is the best) and insanely cute babies Jonah and hannah (you should stalk my instagram to see 1,000,000 photos of them) and our deeply cherished friends and family! You can frequently find me with my nose in a book, spending time in the sunshine or a local coffee shop. That or whipping up something yummy in the kitchen to share with friends and family. Another massive part of my heart and life is my passion of Jesus and the local church. Everything I do, whether it be photography, friendship, or my passion to gather around a table and share a meal, is about and for Jesus and His Kingdom!

I would love to join your engagement journey and photograph this most special time in your life! Can't wait to chat.

Warmly,
Emily

WEDDING COLLECTIONS

My Wedding Collections are designed with a modern bride in mind.

After over seven years in business, and with over 130 weddings under my belt, I have realized that there are no two brides who are exactly alike. Your love story, values, andbackground are unique to you. It is my desire to honor what you cherish most, and I have crafted my collections to reflect that. As I shoot your wedding, I look for the in-betweenmoments that truly capture the emotion as they are felt.

I want you to feel your wedding photos as you look back on them, not just see them.
My timeless style ensures that you will love your wedding photos when you receive them, as well as 50 years from now! As a boutique photographer, I treat each and every couple with the utmost care and attention.
I’m focused on you!

All Wedding Collections begin at $4750 with “A La Carte” customization available.
