Our Style
We are natural light wedding photographers located in the San Francisco bay area. We use both film and digital cameras to capture your wedding with a timeless, fine art approach. We adore working with couples that invite us into their wedding as "family" - allowing us to capture authentic genuine moments as they unfold.
We focus on outdoor weddings: gardens, historic homes, Wineries, Private estates, forests, National Parks and country clubs.
We are inspired by details and love when a couple pours their hearts and souls into making their wedding resonate with their story.
Our mission is capturing a love that moves mountains.
Our One Package
We’re yours for the whole day, providing you with as many beautiful memories as we can, with the hope that you’ll see our images as a part of your life and a tangible piece of your love story.
Thomas and I work together to capture your day seamlessly. We utilize both film and digital cameras to document your day, capturing moments in a soft, romantic, warm style.
Are you eloping or having a smaller weekday wedding?
Occasionally, I (Emily) photograph smaller events by myself. I offer a la carte pricing for these types of events.
Perhaps you’re thinking “Film?” Yes, we use film cameras (like what our parents used decades ago)!
Film is a medium that allows us to capture moments in a soft, romantic, warm style that digital photos just can’t replicate. That said, we’re hybrid photographers, using both film and digital cameras throughout your wedding day to keep up with the fast-paced environment - allowing us to capture all of the in-between moments.

Our Couples
When we started our business, we knew we were going to partake in memorable events. What we didn’t realizewas that our lives would be touched by so many incrediblepeople. Our couples that we’ve photographed have truly become some of our closest friends!
We’ve had game nights, shared meals, played at the dog park, traveled abroad, defeated escape rooms, gone skiing (Emily) and snowboarding (Thomas), hiked numerous mountains, attended baby showers and truly developed relationships with so many of our couples. They mean so much to us.
We produce our best work when our hearts are at your wedding as a friend - and we don’t think you deserveanything less. You’re not just a date on our calendar - you’rea piece of our story too. We would love to hear from you to see if we're a good fit!
When I received our photos back all I could think was how happy they were - nothing seemed forced or staged. Their photography truly is effortless in the best possible way. And with that being said, you can tell how much effort they truly put forward to achieve this result. My mom’s word to describe Emily is “meticulous.”

They have an insane talent for capturing these unassuming, in-the-moment photos that just overflow with emotion and heart.
Their attentiveness to detail and overall experience allowed us to have a stress free day that was beautifully photographed. Emily was a critical part of our whole process, working incredibly with all our vendors and family/friends. When we received our photos they were beyond anything we could have ever dreamed. Hire Emily & Thomas, it will be the best decision you can make.

The Ganeys are the best thing that happened to our wedding.
The Ganeys are hilarious, have an incredible eye, are always responsive and have the best work ethic of any vendor I have worked with. They consistently checked in, did things outside their scope of work and went above & beyond in every single aspect of the entire process. The amount of time that E&T put into our big day prior to, on and after the big day makes them an incredible value.
- Michelle

No amount of credit or praise is enough to show how truly remarkable The Ganeys are. They became a part of our family that day and it meant everything to us!
Emily is so kind, thoughtful, and talented as a photographer, and Thomas is the secret ingredient that makes grooms everywhere feel at ease!
- Amanda
"
This husband and wife team communicates so well and I believe that is part of the reason why they make their jobs look so effortless and fun on your wedding day - and why the photos are so breathtaking.
The Ganeys were professional but also fun – they put us at ease being photographed (one part of the wedding process I’d particularly dreaded), and we became friends (they truly work to build relationships). Several of our wedding guests complimented Emily and Thomas for somehow managing to be everywhere at once and for their happiness to be a part of the celebration.

Emily and Thomas truly care about their couples, and they bring genuine enthusiasm for love and weddings that comes through in their beautiful work.
When my husband and I first looked through all of the photos from our wedding day, it felt like I was gasping with every picture. All of our bridal party and family commented on how amazing these two are, and how they seemed to be everywhere at once. They are so genuinely warm and made everyone feel really comfortable

No words can truly do these two justice- they were the best decision we made! Not only are they incredibly talented, they have a true passion for capturing these memories that shines in every photo.
We love laid back couples. We love couples that know their day will be perfect, in all kinds of weather. Our favorite couples are affectionate and filled with joy. Our brides aren’t afraid to get their dress a little dirty. Our couples are kind souls. Photography is a large priority for our couples, but above all, they make their own love the priority of the day.
A wedding typically includes about 100 edited images per hour of coverage. If we spend 8 hours with you on your wedding day, expect around 800 images. 10 hours of coverage? Expect around 1,000 images. The image count depends on a few factors, such as if you opt to do a first look.
Albums are a beautiful way for you to cherish your wedding for years to come. These are your first family heirlooms. These are the pages that your children and grandchildren will look through. We offer a variety of beautiful albums and would be happy to show them off!
