Emma Dodge Hanson is one of the most accomplished wedding and portrait photographers in the US. Her portfolio includes wedding and engagement photos as well as portraits of authors, dancers and musicians. Her first book, Solo, features exquisite photos of singers including Jewel, Joan Osborne and Sheryl Crow.

Emma’s wedding photos are among the most recognized in the world of wedding photography. This is largely due to her philosophy. She believes that the moments that define the spirit of a wedding day may not always be the most obvious ones—a telling glance between sisters, the ritual of dressing the bride, a quiet moment between newlyweds. All this may be just beyond the circle of celebration. Emma tells the story of a wedding with the same insight and freshness that distinguishes her work as a leading arts photographer.

Her wedding photography has been featured in leading magazines including Condé Nast's Modern Bride and several "Best Of".

Emma’s first book, Solo, featured portraits of women singer-songwriters. It was published in 1998 and received a tremendous amount of praise as a complete success. Her second book was published in 2008 and is a collection of her portraits of children in Ethiopia. Both of her books show a different side of the beautiful photography that Emma Dodge Hanson continually produces.

Based in upstate New York, Emma is available for work in New York, New England and Nationwide.
