a little bit about me

Emily (Em) Duncan

I’m Em — a wedding, elopement, and portrait photographer based in Brooks, Alberta. I help romantic souls, wild dreamers, and real-life lovers create magical, storytelling images that feel like a warm memory.

Your photos should feel like you — cozy, honest, a little wild, and full of life. I’m not just your photographer… I’m your hype queen, your gentle guide, and your memory-keeper for life. 🫶🏻

Animals & Nature

Ever since I was young, I've had a passion for animals and nature. Being raised with outdoor activities like skiing, walking forest trails, and admiring wildlife around my hometown of Kelowna, BC, this genre of photography just became one of my favourite hobbies.
Whether it's bringing out my camera when my pets are doing something cute, taking it along on morning walks, or stuffing it in a bag when we visit the zoo, getting photographs like these always makes my heart flutter wildly!!

Photography has been in my family for generations — passed down in prints, albums, and quiet stories whispered over tea. I’ve been capturing life through a lens for over a decade, but it wasn’t until I became a mom that I truly understood the weight and wonder of preserving moments before they slip away.

I know how fast life moves. How it can feel like you blink and your babies are suddenly big. How wedding days blur in a heartbeat. How important it is to see yourself and your people the way you feel them — full of love, laughter, and that intangible spark.

That knowing shapes everything I do.

More than just a photographer

When we work together, it’s not just about getting pretty pictures. It’s about creating space for you to slow down and actually feel the magic of the season you’re in. I’ll hype you up when you feel awkward, help guide you when you feel unsure, and give you a gallery that lets you relive the best parts of your day over and over.

Because your story is worth telling — and remembering.

The Experience You Deserve

You want a photographer who sees you; who helps you feel vibrant, seen, and completely yourself.

You live for soft moments: cozy clothes, hand-in-hand walks, slow sunsets in nature with your favorite person.

Craving quiet moments

02.

You've been told you're too much: too loud, too talkative, too full of life. I say bring all that energy, and let’s turn it into magic

Vibrant Energy

01.

You value connection and meaning — whether you're saying “I do” on a mountaintop or holding your littles close at sunset. You’re craving images that feel real, full of heart, and rooted in something magical.

You love a good adventure, but you adore the quiet, intimate in-between moments just as much. You're drawn to nature, storytelling, and dreamy locations that feel like pages from a romance novel. You want more than just pretty pictures; you want something effortless, joyful, and true to you.

If that sounds like you, then we’re going to create something truly unforgettable — the kind of magic that feels like home.
