Hi, I'm Emma Gibbs

 
My name is Emma Gibbs, and I'm a professional photographer based in San Diego, California who specializes in wedding and lifestyle photography. I first picked up a camera in the 6th grade and have been a professional photographer since 2018. I graduated Summa Cum Laude and received my Bachelor's of Arts & Sciences with an emphasis in Multimedia from San Diego State University in 2023 to expand my knowledge and support my passion for photography. I have been voted 2024 Best of San Diego Photographers by San Diego Magazine and have also been featured in SD Voyager Magazine and CanvasRebel Magazine.
I'm all about creating those fun and natural photographs that tell a story. I do my absolute best to create a welcoming environment for anyone who happens to be in front of my lens. For me, it's all about having fun while creating images. I'm here to capture the real you in a beautiful and natural setting. I am completely devoted to providing images that document the raw, candid, and beautiful moments that life gives us. At the end of the day, my main goal is to deliver images that matter to YOU.
 
a little bit more about me...
 
 

What started as a hobby has turned into one of the most fulfilling jobs I've ever had—photography. But even with a busy schedule of photoshoots, I still make time for the things that light me up. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me curled up with a horror novel (Stephen King is an all-time favorite), crafting miniatures, binding books, or shooting on my Rolleiflex medium format film camera. I’m also a beach lover—whether it’s surfing, soaking up the sun, collecting shells, or just enjoying the waves.
Family means everything to me, and I’m grateful to be so close to mine. My three siblings are my built-in best friends, and we share a love for travel—I've even ventured as far as southern India! Wherever I go, I carry a little piece of home with me, knowing I’ve got the best support system cheering me on.
As a wedding photographer, my passion for capturing moments of love and joy between those closest to you is the driving force behind my work. I feel truly privileged to witness and document the unique stories of each couple I meet. The beauty of a wedding day lies in the authentic emotions, the tender glances, and the unspoken promises shared between two people. It's an honor to freeze those heartfelt moments in time, preserving the essence of the day for generations to come. Every wedding is a new adventure, an opportunity to create visual narratives that reflect the love, happiness, and connection between two souls. This profession allows me to blend my artistic vision with my love for life and love itself, making each wedding a story worth telling through my lens.
