    Wonderful!

    We got married on 5/8/2021 and chose to have our photos taken by an associate photographer, Joscelyn. She was FANTASTIC and she helped minimize the stress and anxiety of the day for myself as well as my husband and our bridal party. She’s so upbeat and was extremely attentive to my concerns (for example, overheating outside in my heavy dress) and she found ways to mitigate any issues before they could arise. We are so thrilled that we chose Joscelyn! The owner of E&I, Stephanie, was also a joy to work with from the get-go. She is extremely detailed and she offered a tremendous amount of very useful advice, tips etc. that absolutely made the day (and planning for it) go as smoothly as possible. Emerald & Ivy also happened to be the most reasonable photography vendor we received a quote from, so we won all around. I absolutely recommend Emerald & Ivy, Stephanie and her associate photographers to capture the love on your special day!

    Absolutely amazing

    Holy cow. Stephanie did an amazing job with my wedding, she made us feel so comfortable. She was very very organized which helped us with the layout of the day. I could never give enough praise. I loved every shot She did. I also love how much effort she puts into everything we received. Anyone who needs a photographer not even just for weddings definitely go to Emerald + Ivy, you will not regret it

    Emerald & Ivy Photography

    Working with Stephanie for my wedding was a fantastic decision! She's now going to photograph my sister's wedding in October 2020! From the beginning stages where Stephanie and I were emailing back and forth about the wedding schedule and list of photos I wanted, to the day of the wedding where Stephanie took SO much stress of off my shoulders, it was such a pleasure to work with Emerald & Ivy! I would recommend their services to anyone!

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Aww, thank you so much Lydia! It was an honor to capture your day! Thank you so much for the kind words!

    Exceptional Photography

    We chose Stephanie because of her professionalism and talent in photography. She did an absolutely fabulous job with our wedding. Her finished images are absolutely amazing! She is by far the best photographer that we have ever seen. We highly recommend Stephanie for photography services!

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Aww, thank you so much! It was such an honor to be a part of Ashley & Daniel's special day! The entire day was just filled with love, and such sweet guests & family! My cheeks were SO sore from laughing & smiling through the entire day!

    We Highly Recommend Emerald & Ivy To Capture Your Wedding Day!

    Stephanie and her team were so incredibly helpful through our wedding process. Outside of picking a date and venue, finding the perfect photographer was our top priority in the beginning stages of planning. From the moment we spoke with Stephanie, we felt at total peace that our wedding memories would be beautifully and thoughtfully captured. We worked with Stephanie's brilliant associate, Cassidy Garcia on the day of the wedding and her energy and creativity shined throughout.
    Originally, we were both very hesitant about a first look. I think we get it in our heads when we are younger that the first look you should have with your betrothed on a wedding day should be when you are walking down the aisle- let me tell you, I am SO glad we did not go in that direction. Any time our friends and family ask us about our favorite part of the wedding day we both respond emphatically with, "Our First Look". There was something so intimate and special about having that magical moment between the two of us before the whirlwind of the day. A huge thank you to Stephanie for encouraging us to do a first look!
    Cassidy did an amazing job at capturing every part of the day without being invasive. Her calm and positive presence truly added to the beauty of the day. I still look at our photos from our wedding almost daily because they truly transport me back to each and every special moment. Thank you to Stephanie and her team for being such an integral part of the most important day of our lives!

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Joelle & Corey,
    Thank you so much! It was such a sweet day, and I'm so glad you enjoyed every minute of it!

    Emerald and Ivy saved me!

    Stephanie is incredibly talented, professional, and kind, but not only that, she came through for me at the last minute when my photographer (who was a friend) couldn’t fly out to my wedding anymore. Stephanie made me a great last minute package, and still treated my event as if she’d been working with me for months. Beautiful editing, timely delivery, nothing but a pleasant experience!

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Oh Emily! I was so happy to help, and so honored! It was such a sweet wedding, and can y'all dance! phew! ;)

    Amazing pictures!!!

    Stephanie provided us with amazing engagement pictures and wedding pictures! She delivered more pictures than we expected and was happy to give us another color option if we wanted b&w or color. She was very handy during my wedding and was quite prepared. She had a sewing hook with her that helped my mom button up my dress and when some one stepped on and ripped my veil, she had a sewing kit and was able to quickly fix it! Stephanie was very knowledgeable of weddings and very appreciative of our business!

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Thank you so much, Elizabeth! Y'all were amazing to work with, your style and entire wedding day was gorgeous and meaningful, so full of love & laughter! I'm so grateful for y'all!

    Top Notch!

    Stephanie was an amazing photographer to work with! Although she did not shoot our wedding, her associate photographer did, Stephanie was there every step of the way to help us plan every little detail. She had the exact style I was looking for and our photos turned out beautifully. And the wooden box she gave us with our flash drive of pictures was beyond beautiful and perfect!

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Thank you so much Sarah! Brooks is an amazing photographer, and I'm so grateful to have her on my team! Your wedding day was absolutely beautiful!
    Thank you so much for letting us be a part of it!

    Excellent Experience!

    Stephanie was wonderful! She made our wedding day very relaxed and enjoyable knowing she had every detail under control! She met with us to discuss what we wanted to capture, gave many helpful ideas and suggestions, and made the entire experience so very easy! She is careful to accommodate the bride and bridal party, putting everyone at ease and making sure everyone is comfortable, and can enjoy the day. She works hard to capture every memory perfectly, and makes a potentially very stressful day to be worry-free. Even though there was unexpected weather on our special day, she went over and above to work around that and give us moments to remember for a lifetime.
    Highly recommend!

    Tammy & Andrew,
    Thank you so much! It was a beautiful day, and I'm honored to be the one to capture it for you!

    Stephanie was absolutely incredible. Aside from our venue, she was the first vendor we selected. From day one, she made herself super available to us, and she made the planning process much easier for us. Wedding planning was not necessarily something I was looking forward to, especially without having my family in the same state as me for the entirety of the process. Stephanie helped us find and decided on other vendors, as well as all timing decisions by outlining a day-of timeline with us on the day we met. She took the time to get to know my now husband & I, and she told our story with us!
    We had a small ceremony with no wedding party and it was all beautifully captured. We also did 3 “first looks,” which was wonderfully organized & captured. Because we only had a Best Man & MOH, I did a first look with my dad, my siblings, then my man. We got married in the evening, and the last thing we wanted was to have to spend the whole day celebrating separately, so we decided to do the three first looks early in the afternoon. This was also wonderful because we had plenty of time to do our portraits & saved family portraits for between the ceremony and the reception.
    The sweetest day, captured by the sweetest photographer.

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kelsey & Nathan! It was such a fun day, and definitely three very sweet First Looks! Your glow stick exit is one of my favorites! :) Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of it!

    Wedding Photographer

    Stephanie was amazing. She helped me in so many ways before and during the wedding. She makes you feel relaxed while taking your pictures and makes it fun so you are truly enjoying it. If I had any questions Stephanie didn't hesitate to answer them even if they weren't photography related. My pictures turned out amazing and she really knew how to capture the whole day.

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Rachel & Justin,
    Thank you so much!! It was an absolute gorgeous day, and I'm so honored to capture it all for you!

    Best photography experience ever!

    Stephanie was amazing! She was right on schedule and everything went so smoothly. She helped out in so many ways. She was so friendly and easy to work with, we almost felt as if we could've already been friends for years. She made sure we got all the poses and locations we wanted and she had really great ideas. The photos came out great! We were so impressed by the quality and how easy she made the whole experience. Stephanie is an excellent photographer!

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Thank you so much Rebecca & T.J.! This means so much to me! You guys were a pleasure to work with, and your wedding day was beautiful!

    She was more than amazing! And she went way farther than above and beyond! I was an out of town bride from Texas, and she was by far the best at communicating with me and making sure we got exactly what we wanted! Her work was amazing and she was a very welcomed presence on the big day! She helped make sure everything went smoothly, I didn’t have worry about a thing! She even tried something new with us, which was amazing since I asked her the day of for one of those pictures with the sparkler lights wrapping around us! She was so open to it and we got an amazing picture and so many laughs from it!

    I would very very much recommend her!

    Stephanie is a superstar! Not only is she magic with her camera-but she is incredibly fun to work with! She was the first professional photographer we had worked with and we were so nervous! She took the time to get to know us and really catered to our personalities to help us feel comfortable behind the camera & to just have fun-which def shows in her work. If you're looking for someone with natural talent that can really make your pictures fun-she is just the one for you! The quality of her pictures is stunning! She is also extremely accommodating to schedules/poses you tell her you like. I would highly recommend her for any pictures-but especially wedding pictures. She is very responsive & quick to address any questions. Not to mention she's a sweetheart!

    Stephanie was a blast to work with, my wife had used her before as she is a Knoxville local and I am not. She was so great about getting every single moment, and image possible. She was smooth, and easy to work with. I’ve worked with different photographers in the past, and have had some mediocre pictures, because they’re working off of the chemistry between the client and the photographer, and trying to pose them just so. Stephanie works with the chemistry of the couple and inserts her energy where it fits, and she is a ball of energy (she has two young boys she has to have it!). If I lived out of state I would fly her to the venue just to have the quality we had, and the experience she left us with.

    - A highly satisfied, now lifelong customer.

    I love working with Stephanie. She is an extremely hard worker and it shows in her photos and her portfolio for meetings with prospective clients. Her contract is very thorough with anything that could possibly go wrong and along with her great advice, she makes me feel so much better about doubts I'm having about all the different aspects of wedding planning and she's also easy to reach. And to boot, she gave us some gorgeous engagement photos, even more than were required! We can't wait to have her at the wedding.

    My new husband and I can not say enough amazing things about Stephanie! From the moment we met her she was so completely professional, thorough, and caring. (I know caring is probably a weird term to her someone say about their vendors, but we truly do believe she has a heart of gold) We live in Indiana and were so overwhelmed and stressed to find the perfect photographer. Stephanie scheduled a Skype session with us where we went over the ENTIRE contract. Which I know to some sounds like a lot, but this was the best thing any vendor did for us. There was no gray areas during the entire payment process, event, or even after when our pictures should arrive. She even did her very best to bring my fiance in to the decision making process and asking his opinion. He isn't one to open up to a lot of people but he did, and in return I truly feel made all the difference in our photos. He was relaxed and trusted Stephanie. Once we booked, Stephanie even sent us a little thank you care package! (Which I loved so very much!) She touched base in the months leading up to the wedding, made recommendations, and truly cared about the overall process. The weeks leading up to the wedding we had another touch base where we went over specific shots. She even made a day-of timeline for me to distribute to my wedding party, which was amazing to have one less thing to worry about. The day of the wedding she arrived ON TIME and ready to go! She really did an amazing job directing everyone throughout the day and making sure everyone was where they needed to be. She made us do poses, talks, and funny walks that turned out amazing! She has an amazing eye for beauty! (We joke that we should have just trusted her!) She was the wedding planner we needed to make our day amazing. We could never have made a better decision by choosing Stephanie. She brought so much life, love, and energy to our day and pictures!

    It is hardly possible to find the words to accurately describe how magnificent my experience with Stephanie Kozick of Blush Creative Photography was. Professional, timely, reliable, TALENTED, knows her business, works with you to get the exact photos you want, kind, gifted, masterful and a tremendous value. My wedding had to be planned and executed in four weeks and Mrs. Kozick enthusiastically came on board and was professional and a wealth of information. She helped me choose the perfect package to suit my needs. On the day of she was timely, encouraging, and calming despite the many stressful hiccups. The images I received post wedding were stunning, inventive, imaginative, timeless and covered every single aspect of my wedding day details marvelously. Despite the rather frenzied day she was adept at sticking to the schedule and we made every shot on my requested list. She made me feel gorgeous and breathtaking (which is invaluable!). She has been immensely flexible and understanding when things go a little nutty, but she always offers expert solutions and will see them through. Honestly, I interviewed several photographers and Stephanie at Blush Creative Photography is the absolute best price for the highest caliber talent in the area. Hire her, you will not regret it and people will never NEVER stop complimenting your wedding photos. Everyone who sees the images has only compliments of the highest praise, that's priceless!

    My husband and I felt really blessed to have Stephanie as a wedding photographer. She was extremely helpful. She was always there for me. As i was not familiar with the area where our wedding was located, she helped with finding a venue, florist, she even did timing for our wedding day, she brought a prop (vintage double bicycle) for us which we really wanted in our photos . She was very personal and I felt like I found a new friend. As we are very private people, she adjusted to our needs and made us to feel completely relaxed and comfortable.

    Where do I begin... Stephanie is so much fun to work with. The quality of service she provides is outstanding. As a videographer, we work very close to a photographer at an event and sometimes worry about getting in their way. With Stephanie, she is creative and ready for anything! Thanks for everything Stephanie!!!

    Emerald + Ivy's reply:

    Thanks so much! That's so sweet of you to say! I enjoyed working with you as well! I was scared I'd get in your way! I can't wait to see your work! And I look forward to working with y'all again!
