Emily Kowalski Photography
Your naturally-curly, overly-sarcastic, obsessed-with-small-town-life photographer! I've made it my goal in my photography to career to cater each couple's experience to their exact needs. I realize that some couples need a lot of direction. They need to be told exactly where to stand and what to do with their hands.

Other couples need hardly any coaching and fall right into comfortably moving through poses on their own. I take the time to pay attention and gauge what a couple needs so their experience with me produces photos that look natural and easy! The boat was actually Plan C, the church was Plan B, and Plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago.

I'm so excited you're here! I've been a full time Sioux City and Omaha wedding photographer for 7 years, mostly because I'm obsessed with wedding cake (not really, but it's definitely a nice perk!) I currently live in Onawa, Iowa (just an hour north of Omaha!) with my husband, Derek, and my two pups, Nala and Josie.
A: I first started photographing things in high school. In fact, my school literally made a class for me and I taught myself from a book. They called it an "independent study." From there, I was hooked! I studied photography in college and got my bachelor's degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in photography.

Emily recently photographed our wedding and engagement photos. She does an AMAZING job and captured great photos! She is very easy to work with and did a great job of getting my camera shy husband to smile.

We had such a great experience working with Emily and loved our engagement and wedding photos. She is truly a talented photographer and knows how to capture amazing moment in the most perfect locations. Emily spent our entire wedding day with us and worked hard to capture every meaningful moment and more! During our wedding planning process, she provided us with timelines for the wedding and helped create the perfect one that fit with our day. Emily did unexpected extras from start to finish that showed her talent and professionalism. We highly recommend using Emily to capture your memories.

Emily was THE perfect photographer for our wedding: on time, thorough and super responsive to all emails and phone calls before the big day, but also fun, thoughtful and an incredibly talented photographer! We could not think of a way a photographer could come into a wedding more seamlessly and effectively (she got all of the family portraits taken care of wham bam! without it feeling rushed). We LOVE our pictures and could not recommend Emily highly enough!

EMILY IS THE BEST. I am so thankful to have chosen Emily as our wedding photographer - her work is exquisite and I couldn't have been happier with our wedding pictures. Emily is so sweet, genuine, kind, and I could immediately tell how much she truly loves capturing special moments in peoples' lives. I loved her photography because of the vivid colors in her pictures and how genuine the images she captures are. When we did our engagement pictures with Emily, she was so flexible and met us before the sun came up to drive to the mountains and do pictures in the aspen leaves before a cold front hit
