welcome!
We're Ephemera (pronounced eh-femme-erah), and we're a boutique photography and floral design company. We take on fewer clients so we do things right, and we keep it low-key and stress-free. We bring your story, your style, your wedding hopes and dreams to life, with the authenticity and gorgeousness they deserve. Your union is yours alone, so we start from scratch, and we go hard for you.
Let us tell your story.
why flowers? why photo? why weddings?—
I love beauty. And I think one of the most beautiful - and important and validating things we can do is to see and express ourselves as we really are. At Ephemera, I create both floral design and photography for weddings and events - but really, I tell your story.
I live for the little details, the unplanned moments, an unexpected flower, the spontaneous magic that happens when love brings communities together. I look for the loveliness that happens when nobody’s watching. In my mind, that’s one of the most beautiful things there is.
-phoebe, photographer & designer
“Phoebe’s photos are breathtaking, she caught everyones best angle and stayed away from cliché wedding tackiness. She completely captured the feeling of the day- the light, the energy, the love. ”
“Phoebe was incredible. She was responsive and easy to communicate with, even though we were planning from out of state. As a gay couple we wanted to make sure we found a photographer who was LGBT friendly, which is easier said than done, but Phoebe made us feel comfortable from the start.”
“Phoebe’s dedication to support local flower-farming, seasoned professionalism and infectious passion continued to confirm that I had made the right decision. She quickly honed in on the spirit of my event, became my style-collaborator, and graciously tailored the floral design to my ever-changing list of wants. Most of all, she honored the creative freedom I gave her by crafting arrangements more beautiful, or should I say “jaw-dropping”, than I could have ever envisioned.”
our values
we believe deeply in the power of love in all forms, and we feel humbled to be included in weddings with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, nonbinary / gender nonconforming people, individuals with disabilities, or any other type of beautifully category-defying humans. we recognize that the wedding industry has historically been exclusive and we want to make sure unions between people of all races, genders, sexualities, and religions are celebrated as they should be. we want to be the best allies possible on your big day, in every way.

we’re based in Rhode Island, but we’re always down to travel for a good time. in the summer season we often work in newport, boston, and greater new england. we especially love honolulu, hawaii and destination weddings in the islands! let us know where to find you, no matter where you are.
