a little bit about me

Emily (Em) Duncan

I’m Em — a wedding, elopement, and life’s moments photographer based in Brooks, Alberta. I help romantic souls and wild-hearted lovers create dreamy, storytelling images that feel like cherished memories. Your photos should feel like you — honest, a little wild, and full of life.

At heart, I’m a nature-lover, hopeless romantic, and sentimental wild soul who delights in the little things — glowy light, hidden treasures, and fleeting moments of joy. To me, photography is about letting life unfold naturally and capturing it in a way that feels like a dream.

I won’t just be your photographer. I’ll be your hype queen, your encourager, your gentle guide, and your memory-preserver for life. You get to focus on being present — I’ve got you.

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 through prints and albums that have been the visual for many stories of the past. It wasn’t until I became a young adult that I truly understood how incredibly important it is to preserve life’s moments, whether intentional or accidental.

Now, as a mom, time seems to move faster than ever - I blink, and everything changes. Weddings are the same; a wonderful blur that goes by in what feels like a heartbeat. And suddenly, the day is done and you’re married!!

This is why it is SO vital to capture your wedding in a way that feels meaningful and true to you. Later, when you hold your images close, the faces, the laughter, and the soft looks shared between loved ones awaken the memories that matter most, giving you the opportunity to relive the love and joy all over again.

More than just a photographer

When we work together, it’s not just about getting dreamy photos. It’s about the opportunity to slow down and actually experience the sparkle of the season you’re in. I’ll hype you up when you feel nervous, help guide you when you feel uncertain, keep everyone on track so nothing is missed, and deliver to you a gallery that lets you relive the best parts of your day over and over.

Your story is worth telling, remembering, and sharing with your favourite people for years to come.

Craving quiet moments

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.
