    Wedding Photography/Videography

    My husband and I could not have asked for better photographers/videographer! They were so accommodating and made us feel so comfortable taking so many pictures at our wedding! They helped us along the way gave pointers and had a sheet of paper with different positions so we weren’t doing the same pose. We had an unexpected storm that took the power out for most of the reception and they went above and beyond what we could have asked for. Although you can’t predict Mother Nature when we asked for certain pictures they were totally up for the job. They were down to earth and genuine, we loved having them at our wedding and would definitely recommend.

    Amazing Photography Team!

    We went with "The Documentary" package which has two photographers and 10 hours of photography. It also includes several included benefits such as a 10x10 album, 1 hr engagement photo session, and discounts on gallery print orders. Their photography packages are reasonably priced when compared with competitors. Our lead photographer was Josh, and we highly recommend him for any engaged couple! He was wonderful! I'm not a photogenic person, but he made my husband and I feel comfortable during the engagement session. The photos came out stunning! For our wedding day, we had Jennie as our second photographer and Kathy was their assistant. They were a great team and listened to what envisioned for photos that were staged. They also captured great candid photos of us and our family/friends. We got our wedding photos back in the 10 week span that Erica (owner) stated we would receive them, so we were pleased to have them on-time. We received a gallery of 800 photos! It was wonderful to see them all! The photographers did a great job capturing details we were too busy to even notice on the wedding day. Now we'll have these photos to look back on forever. Just a note to wedding couples, make sure to take advantage of the benefits in your photography package (e.g. don't forget to ask about the included wedding album, discount rates, etcetera) so you get your full money's worth.

    Excellent Experience

    We had an excellent experience with Emerald Stone! The owner, Erica, is very hands on. She is so sweet and very responsive. Everything was executed perfectly on our wedding day and the videography team was so great to work with! We are so excited to see the final product.

    Emerald Stone Team

    My husband and I recently had our wedding and we couldn’t have better things to say about the Emerald Stone team. The Emerald Stone team was great and made us feel super comfortable, even though we aren’t huge “picture people” to begin with. The photographers and videographers were patient with us and helped direct us with certain poses that ended up looking great in the sneak peak photos. Jennie and Kathy (the photographers) were so nice and made us at ease, while also providing direction and making sure the surrounding shot was all set fin order to get the best photo (i.e., recognizing when there was a bag in the background of the shot that needed to be moved). We can’t wait to see more of our photos in the upcoming weeks!

    Wonderfully Fun and Professional!

    We had a wonderful experience with Emerald Stone photographers. We had 2 photographers for 10 hours and they were so thorough and fun to work with. They captured our total vision of the day exactly as I wanted it to be and made us so relaxed and comfortable with the photos. We got so many great photos I cannot even decide which ones to frame! So thankful for their professional demeanor yet relaxed personalities that allowed for candid and unique photos. I also received the photos sooner than expected and Erica has been so helpful with providing any specific images I wanted. The amount of time spent planning ahead of time allowed for a seamless day even with weather uncertainty. They were flexible and worked hard to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted even with storms passing through. Shout out to Josh and Tasha, they were the best!

    The Best Wedding Photography Team

    I am so thankful I chose Emerald Stone to capture my wedding day! They were so helpful and knowledgeable about my wedding day timeline and making sure I was able to get all of the pictures that were important to me. Erica has been the sweetest throughout this whole process. Josh and Matt kept us laughing the entire day and really took the time to set up the perfect places and lighting for our pictures. The Emerald Stone team has been great from start to finish!

    They are the best!

    I’m so glad we chose Emerald Stone for our photography and Videography for our wedding. There truly is a reason they have so many awards and great ratings. We have so many photos from our wedding that it feels like we get to relive our whole wedding when we look at them. I’m so grateful for how organized and on time our team was. The detailed schedule that is created for the day keeps everything so organized and not rushed. The day goes by so fast and the experience that our team had made it so there wasn’t any time where we were waiting on our photographers. The stress free, natural flow the team has is truly priceless and very important on your wedding day. All of our other vendors commented on how great to work with the team was. I would definitely recommended Emerald Stone. We chose to invest the most on our photography and videography team and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our main photographer had to be switched due to a medical emergency. Emerald stone has several photographs and was wonderful working with us to make a switch. That is something you will only have when choosing a large experienced group. I couldn’t be more thankful to our team and for choosing Emerald Stone.

    I would like to give a special thank you to my second photographer, Tara. Before our wedding I didn’t think about the fact that our photographers would be with me the whole day. She literally pulled me out of the mud and wiped me off, kept things moving and thought ahead, and made me smile through to tears. The kindness and the way the team stayed calm through the stress is priceless. If you are deciding on wether or not to invest in having Emerald Stone capture your wedding , you will be very glad you did.

    Amazing photographers!

    I am so happy to have Emerald Stone as my photographers! From the beginning, the owner Erica was so on top of everything, organized, thorough and flexible. My photographers the day of were Josh, Jenni and Kathy and they were all awesome, very nice, very energetic and worked really well with each other. They were willing to try things out. It poured rain exactly when we were supposed to take all our post-ceremony pictures outside, so they pivoted really quickly and we still got beautiful photos, and we even still took a ton outside. They also stayed on top of the timeline all morning pre-ceremony and that was very reassuring. I also just love the photos that they took - the colors are so vivid, and they really captured the feeling of the moments! Everything was just perfect!

    Best team ever

    LOVE Emerald Stone Photography! From our engagement shoot, to our wedding, the Emerald Stone Team we worked with was amazing. Jennie and Kathy are a mother/daughter team that we were comfortable with, who made us laugh and smile making the photos effortless on our part! The photos we got from the engagement and our sneek peek from our wedding leave us couting down the days until we receive the rest of our wedding photos! We also had videography there and cannot wait to see the video they put together of our wedding. 100000/10 would recommend the Emerald Stone Team a million times over!

    Great experience

    We had a great experience with the Emerald Stone team for our wedding on 9/17/2022. The photographers were on time and got to work. They were flexible on our timeline and needing to travel to multiple locations. I have no doubt our pictures will turn out amazing!

    Great experience - personal and professional!!

    Erica from Emerald Stone was awesome! She sent a nice note right after we hired her, expressing her excitement to work with me and my husband. Additionally, she made time to speak me over the phone to go over my vision for my wedding day. The videographers that came out were awesome and did a great job capturing the most important parts of our day. Definitely recommend Erica and her team for videography!

    Best Day of My Life

    Trying to have a wedding during a pandemic is unbelievably stressful. My (now) husband and I had to move our wedding date to a week earlier due to some guidelines being released for the county we were getting married in. Emerald Stone not only accomodated the date change, but they also offered to help in any other way possible. Josh and his team were amazing. They went above and beyond to make our wedding day extra special and not miss a minute of it. I would highly recommend Emerald Stone Photography. They are worth every penny and will give memories to last a lifetime - priceless!

    Kept the day special!

    The whole point of a wedding is celebrating the commitment you are making to the love of your life... Emerald Stone keeps that focus and is unobtrusive to your day, while still documenting it. Documenting the day helps it stay special over time and because you can share the moments over and over, so they asked questions and set the schedule ahead of time. They were prepared and things were seamless on our wedding day. They were helpful with poses, they were flexible and thoughtful about our needs. And the pictures are beautiful. Throughout it all, they were friendly and excited, making it easy to spend so much of the day with them. Could not more highly recommend them based on their professionalism, too.

    Central PA Wedding? You must talk to Emerald Stone!

    I need to start off by saying that Erica and her team are truly rare and special gifts in this insane wedding industry. When I started planning our wedding, Erica was one of the first photographers I spoke with and we immediately clicked and I knew she had my same vision in mind for our big day. We were lucky enough to work with Bryan P from her team for our engagement pictures and we felt like we made a lifelong friend. The professionalism and courtesy Bryan showed us with helping us pick a site and escorting us around for the best and most beautiful pictures was incredible. When it came time for our wedding, we needed to add additional time to fit in a first look between my dad and I, and it was never a problem. Erica's communication and attention to detail is NEXT LEVEL, and even in the days before the wedding, she was making sure that our photography and videography timeline was perfect and keeping us in the loop for every step. Now for the wedding. Bryan P and Laikyn P were truly magical as our photography team. We had no idea how we would feel with people following us around all day taking pictures and videos but Bryan and Laikyn were so comforting and calming, they helped keep everything moving so effortlessly and gave us a true sense of peace throughout all of the craziness of the day. We are so grateful to have met them and worked with them. We were also lucky enough to work with Brian R and Brenda R as our videography team and their attention to detail and guidance was spectacular. If you are getting married in the central PA area and looking for an incredible team to capture all of your most important moments, no one can serve you as well as Erica and her team

    You won’t regret hiring!!!

    Erica and her team was absolutely amazing. My husband and I could not have been happier with our experience. The communication was great and they couldn’t have captured our beautiful photos any better. I absolutely recommend booking with them.
