Based in a small town on the South Shore of Massachusetts, I travel across New England to document love stories and milestones, creating timeless, meaningful images that preserve the moments that matter most. To me, photography is more than just a career, it's a lifelong passion that grew and evolved from my love of art.

From a young age, I explored a wide range of creative mediums, which ultimately led me to focus on photography. I went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Photography and Graphic Design from Bridgewater State University.

As a South Shore couples photographer and MA wedding photographer, I work with people at every stage of life, from engagements and weddings to growing families and everything in between.


A connection focused New England photographer, capturing images that are full of life. 

Hi, i'm emily!

Why Emily McCafferty Photography?

EMP is committed to creating a fun, one-of-a-kind, unique photography experience paired with natural and authentic imagery that will last a lifetime. 

Over the years, I’ve photographed hundreds of clients who felt the same way at first- only to walk away with a sigh of relief and kind words about how easy and enjoyable the experience was. What sets me apart is the experience and the genuine connection I bring to every photography session. 

I am one of six, and come from a big, blended family. My husband is my high school sweetheart, a cancer survivor, and my biggest supporter. Together, we’re running two small businesses, raising two amazing kids, and keeping up with our black lab, Penny!

Our life is full of spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen, outdoor adventures, and quality time playing cards, Jenga, and bowling as a family.

I understand that the idea of being in front of the camera can feel daunting or unnatural but it doesn't have to be!

My personal life has helped me appreciate the little things that make up who we are, and that perspective has become a core value in my business.

As a New England lifestyle photographer, I believe you deserve someone who genuinely cares about your life experiences and what connects you to the people you love.

By prioritizing real connections, I'm able to tell a deeper, more personal story, one that can be seen and felt throughout every image.

All of these moments shape how I see the world and how I capture yours.

With a wide range of add-on services such as 35mm film, heirloom albums, second photographers, and more, you can customize each package and make it truly yours. 

If you are the type of person who values connection, images that feel natural (not forced), and a photographer that brings, education, experience, and intention to every moment, you’re in the right place!

Whether you need a documentary family photographer in Massachusetts, a South Shore wedding photographer, or someone to capture the quiet, everyday moments in between, I'd love to be your photographer.
