About Emily Avila Photography & Videography

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!

Best photographer in PA!
Emily is absolutely amazing! She is incredibly talented and truly cares about the quality of her work. She captured the emotions of my elopement day perfectly. She went into cold lake water to get the perfect picture as an example of her dedication. She is trustworthy and a genuine good person.

She just gets it
Choose Emily. I didn’t know it was possible to capture such raw joy, love, and FUN until seeing her photos. I almost booked a different photographer until I saw her photos and how she just got it. She is somehow able to convey the most intimate moments, while also getting artsy shots from the dance floor. When the rain disrupted our day, she handled it like the pro she is, made sure we still got the most beautiful portraits, and kept me stress free. I don’t know that I would have been able to have the perfect day without her. She didn’t just get the shots I asked for like it was a checklist. She totally bought into our vision and ran with it (see photos of us with our porch geese below, LOL). Emily’s video team also captured the silliness and genuine love of our day. We will cherish these memories forever as we and our loved ones get older.

Absolutely amazing!
Hiring Emily was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She also shot our engagement photos, which was the perfect way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. By the time our wedding arrived, it felt like having a close friend capture our memories. Emily has an incredible eye for detail and beautifully captured both the candid emotions and the posed portraits. She kept everything running smoothly and made us feel so relaxed and confident. After the ceremony my bustle broke and she didn’t hesitate to step in and strategically place a ton of safety pins to keep my bustle in place, and it didn’t budge for the rest of the night! We are absolutely obsessed with how all of our photos turned out and will cherish them forever. We couldn't recommend her more!

She captured the Vibe
From our first conversation with Emily Avila Photography & Videography, we knew we had found the right fit. She was responsive to every question and made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, Emily captured not just moments but the true vibe and personality of everyone there—something we've never seen done so well before. What really impressed us was her commitment to excellence; she carefully reviewed every single photo to ensure they were flawless. The final gallery was gorgeous, and the couple and family portraits are the most beautiful photos we've ever had taken. Choosing Emily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we couldn't recommend her highly enough.

A comfortable experience and beautiful photos!
We stumbled across Emily’s website while looking for Philly engagement photographers and absolutely loved her vibe. Working with her was so easy and natural; she’s great at making people feel comfortable and setting up poses and shots that don’t feel too staged. We’re both a bit camera shy, but the photos show none of that! We’re in love with the results and so glad we found a photographer who was able to capture photos that felt unique to us. Emily was so communicative and flexible throughout the whole process with scheduling and planning for the shoot. Her turnaround time was also insanely fast considering how many photos she included! We had a tight window for getting this shoot finished before moving out of the area, and she was able to work with us with plenty of time to spare. She is fantastic! We highly recommend.
