Hola! I’m Emma, the girl behind the lens.

I’m an Illinois-based wedding photographer servicing Chicago and beyond. To me, photography is about more than just taking a picture — it’s about capturing love stories and keeping memories alive.

Emma Belen Photography specializes in building strong relationships with clients and providing them with photos of their cherished memories that are natural, romantic, and timeless.
