| At emilie inc., we photograph what we see. It's that simple. It's a privilege to be allowed access into your life and we would never ask you to be anything that you are not. Those laugh lines? We adore them. Not a fan of painfully posed portraits? No worries. That moment you never dreamed of but wind up cherishing for a lifetime? Our specialty. We’ll help you tell the story of this exciting, emotional, extraordinary time as you set out on the adventure of married life. You won't find trendy or gimmicky techniques here. It's your wedding after all, and we love you just the way you are. True You. This approach to wedding photography has its origins in our founder and owner, Emilie Sommer. As a photojournalist and photo editor at USA Today and the Washington Post, Emilie trained her lens on everyone from presidential candidates to rock stars to beauty queens, and she learned to capture the truth and emotion inherent in every assignment. But photographing a cousin’s wedding on Maine’s coast in 2001 got her hooked on documenting brides and grooms, and Emilie soon returned to Maine to launch her own wedding photography business. emilie inc. has since grown to include another half-dozen visual virtuosos. You’ll find the same true-to-life documentary style in everything our photographers do, at a range of price points to accommodate a variety of budgets. Our in-house graphic designer creates custom album designs and photo cards, and can brand your event with a one-of-a-kind design, including a logo and invitation suite. Visually, we’ve got you covered. Outside of our day-to-day wedding work, we also devote our time to a few other projects close to our hearts. Emilie founded Roots Workshop, an annual photojournalism retreat on Cape Cod; Pink Initiative, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that raises funds and awareness for breast cancer research and Love and Lobster, a New England wedding inspiration and resource blog.
