Emma Burke, founder of Emma K Films, is a Los Angeles–based wedding videographer celebrated for creating cinematic, emotion-filled films that let couples relive every moment of their wedding day. Her work blends luxury wedding storytelling, artistry, and heartfelt emotion.
From College Hobby to Global Brand
Emma’s journey began in 2019 while studying accounting in college. Originally from rural Oregon, she switched from pharmacy to accounting for her love of business and numbers. A “terrible financial decision” to buy a video camera sparked a passion that grew after filming a friend’s wedding for $400. That project led her to build Emma K Films into a globally recognized luxury brand, earning features in People, Brides, ESPN, and recognition as one of the Top 25 Wedding Videographers in the World by The Wed.
Cinematic, Emotion-Driven Wedding Films
Emma’s style is cinematic and authentic, focusing on real emotions rather than staged moments. She carefully limits herself to 12–15 weddings per year, often multi-day destination events, to ensure quality over quantity. Her pre-production process is meticulous, with detailed planning and communication with planners, even when she hasn’t met clients in person. To expand her destination wedding portfolio, Emma leveraged social media challenges and styled shoots in countries like Ireland and Italy.
Mentorship and Empowering Wedding Filmmakers
Emma is passionate about mentorship through The Wedding Filmmaker Workshop, a multi-day program designed to empower wedding filmmakers worldwide. The workshop provides hands-on learning, portfolio-building opportunities, and community support, helping creatives grow their skills, gain confidence, and navigate the wedding industry with clarity. Participants leave inspired with actionable strategies to build their own successful businesses.
