Seasons change far too quickly, hold on to this one with the ones you love most, one portrait at a time
I truly believe photographs are one of the most meaningful things we carry with us through life. As a Minnesota wedding photographer, I don’t see photos as a box to check off a to-do list or just "another thing" to do.
Together, we create images that you're able to hold tight for decades to come — those in-between moments filled with laughter, the emotions you felt but couldn’t put into words, and the people who made the day what it was. These photographs become your gateway to remembering, the telling of your story, and the way your wedding day lives on long after it’s over.

My portfolio highlights family, senior, wedding and engagement sessions photographed throughout Detroit Lakes and the surrounding Minnesota area. Each gallery reflects my true-to-life editing style, intentional approach, and my focus on genuine connection. Whether capturing playful family moments or quiet, meaningful milestones, my work is rooted in natural light, authentic emotion, and timeless imagery designed to last for generations.
From quiet North Dakota landscapes to meaningful Minnesota venues, I help brides feel at ease in front of the camera—so their wedding day can unfold naturally. With gentle guidance and an unhurried approach, I document your day as it truly felt, not just how it looked.
For couples planning beyond the Midwest, I offer destination wedding coverage rooted always in intention and reliability, wherever your celebration may take us.
"Highly recommend going with Emma Disse Photography! She took my daughters senior photos last summer and was so much fun to work with, very professional, and has a passion for photography that shows in her work! We will definitely be booking her again for our future photography needs!"
