Your Memory-Making, Joy-Capturing, Storytelling Photographer
Ohio & Michigan lifestyle & wedding photographer
And when you work with me? My hope is for you to not only love your photos, but to love the experience of taking them and celebrating your milestone along the way.
Rowan is my 2-year-old labradoodle pup that’s full of life, love, and is always down for a snuggle session while I’m editing galleries. And yes – the namesake behind Emily Rowan Photo, because if I’m being honest, none of this would be possible without the joy she brings me each day.
She’s pretty much my child and the office morale booster!
That's Rowan!
Photography is more than just pretty pictures to me. It’s about creating something real. It’s about capturing the way you look at each other when no one else is watching, the laughter that bubbles up unexpectedly, and those quiet, meaningful moments that say everything without words.
Lover of golden hour light, heartfelt love stories, and capturing the little moments that mean the most.
I’m Emily
Over the last five years, I’ve had the honor of capturing love stories, milestones, and everyday magic for so many wonderful people. Whether it’s the joy of a wedding day, the excitement of a senior session, or the quiet beauty of a lifestyle shoot, I bring my heart and creativity to every moment.

BOOK WORM WITH A SOFT SPOT FOR EMILY HENRY
Because Let’s Be Honest… You Probably Wanna Know the Girl Behind the Camera!
If there’s a cozy nook and a good book nearby, you’ll find me there—especially if it’s written by Emily Henry. Book Lovers, Beach Read, Happy Place… I’ve devoured them all (more than once).
From breaking news to true crime, I’m always tuned in. Podcasts are my go-to for car rides, editing sessions, and anytime I need to feel informed or just wildly entertained.
As the oldest of six, I come with natural big-sister vibes—organized, empathetic, always looking out for the people I love (and armed with some wild sibling stories).
Catch Me at the Coastline
Travel fuels my soul—especially when there’s a beach involved. Sand between my toes, a salty breeze, and a book in hand? That’s my version of bliss.
Love, Actually Is the Vibe
My favorite part of any wedding day? That moment when my clients-turned-friends are surrounded by their people, soaking in hugs, happy tears, and all the love. It never gets old—and I feel so lucky to capture it every time.

My fiance and I don’t take pictures very often but from the moment we met her she made both of us feel super comfortable! She got our pictures back to us very quickly. She is very professional and is the BEST photographer! You will not be disappointed."
"Emily is the best!!
Taylor H.
My husband isn’t huge on pictures and “posing” for pictures, knowing that she did such a good job of coaching him through pictures, making us laugh, and letting us be our natural selves. She was our biggest hype person. Also, how could I not hype up her end results!!! Our wedding pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend her!”
“I knew Emily would be the perfect fit for us from the start!
Evelyn H.
Emily was a wonder to work with over the course of several sessions. She has done our engagement session, our wedding, and our pregnancy announcement session. She has a great energy that brings a fun vibe to each session and was even able to get my husband to smile in photos! (Not an easy task!)”
“We always come back to her and the amazing work she has to offer!
Shelby S.
She makes you feel comfortable & confident throughout everything. She is great with communicating & will guide you every step of the way. I would highly recommend working with her! She is beyond talented.”
“Emily is the ABSOLUTE BEST photographer to work with…
Ellory H.
She was so sweet, professional, and a total joy to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and brought such a fun, relaxed energy to our wedding day. We are beyond grateful for her talent and can’t recommend her enough to any couple looking for a photographer who is both skilled and wonderful to work with!
“Emily is my new favorite person.
