Since 2021, Emily Hurwitz has been cultivating her talent as a professional photographer, turning her passion for photography into her very own business – EH Photography. Based in Seattle, Washington, Emily has become an in-demand wedding, family, and maternity photographer throughout the Pacific Northwest, Arizona, and any destination her clients choose. Here is what couples can expect when choosing EH Photography to capture their special day.
 

GO: How did you get started in photography and what compelled you to work within the wedding niche?
A: I started my photography business after leaving the event world as an event coordinator when Covid outbroke and events were on a hiatus. Once I shot my first wedding I was completely hooked! Documenting weddings fills my soul and literally is the favorite part of my business. Since diving into the wedding scene full force, I have also found a sincere love for the industry's community among fellow wedding professionals. What an honor it is to be there throughout the day and witnessing such special moments in my couple’s lives.
A: Clean and timeless with creamy tones and editorial vibes!!


GO: How do you make a couple feel at ease to capture those perfect fashion-forward images?
A: This is such a great question! I start with getting to know my couples through questionnaires, Zoom chats, and social media. Then I send my clients a welcome gift including my wedding photography guide. This covers so much, really hitting on every aspect of how to make the day and the photography an easy, fun process. All my packages include an engagement session in the PNW, and these can be added on with any package booked for couples in AZ or anywhere else. I highly recommend this step!!
One, you get gorgeous photos you can use for a wedding website or save the dates; but also, it gives us a chance to work together before the big day! It allows a warm up, and for you to see what it will be like. I prompt my clients and get authentic interactions, and I shoot an editorial style where I help pose the whole thing! You do not need to worry about what to do with your hands. I feel like this balance in posing style creates a very comfortable vibe for my couples.
GO: What are your favorite moments to capture during the wedding day?
A: The couple portraits, the bride getting ready, the couple exiting from the ceremony for the first time being married, the DETAILS, the candid moments of your loved ones, and the dance floor! I love to party!
GO: How far in advance should a couple reach out to you if they wish to book you for their wedding?
A: I always suggest as soon as you can – having to turn couples away is very difficult. 10 months is ideal, but truly whenever! Sometimes stars align with late inquiries and I love that.
GO: Do you travel for destination weddings and if so, what does this entail for a couple?
A: Absolutely! I love traveling and experiencing different sceneries with weddings. I shoot in two home bases, meaning no travel fees for wedding packages in Washington and Arizona. When it comes to other locations, fees will vary depending on the distance and time I am needed. I typically only charge flight and lodging for myself as my travel fee.
GO: Aside from weddings, are there any other types of photography you enjoy?
A: I love continuing to document my couples lives as they grow. Maternity to newborn to family sessions. Seeing their lives and families evolve is a privilege. I also love to document my own family and our travels when I can.
