    No One Tells It Like They Do

    Don't need to write words. Just look at the pics. No photographers see it the way these sisters do. And the way they see it is everything.

    You honestly do not need to look anywhere else for your photographer. Our pictures are honestly the most amazing engagement photos I have seen and the compliments we get are incredible. My best friend who was recently married even said she wished she would have found them for her photography even though she loved her pictures as well. Amazing humans and even better photography skills. These ladies are where you need to go!

    This is the best wedding photographer that anyone could ever hire. We have so many fantastic photos of us at our wedding that it is really difficult to choose our favorites. We are not like our friends who want to pick one good picture. We have so many, in so many different settings. We were so lucky to have both Emily and Julie shoot our wedding. They made us feel at ease, they brought out our true personalities. There are no canned smiles. Emily had shot our engagement photos which helped us get used to her style. Her style was to let us be as we are as a couple naturally, with her capturing it, giving us tips to be more photogenic, but not forcing anything. Then at the wedding, we were nervous about the first look, but it was amazing. They set up a perfect setting in a meadow, and then allowed us to be with each other naturally as they took pictures. They posed us at times without it feeling posed, and only in poses that felt more like us. None of our pictures look like any of the other couple's pictures I have seen. The rest of the pictures were of them capturing these perfect moments when we did not think anyone was looking. They were fun, non-obtrusive, just a complete joy to work with. Everyone loved them. We had a lot of decor at our southern wedding and had spent one year planning, doing DIY, bringing furniture in, and so many details on our own, like our southern cake table with 6 regular cakes, all with their own cake topper. When it all came together we were overwhelmed trying to take it all in. Emily and Julie captured all of it, all of those touches. They captured our family and guests at their best. When we look at our pictures, the feeling of our wedding comes back. With some of our other bride friends, that only happens with video, even with the ultra expensive DC photographers. But they managed to do it with pictures that not only "tell" our wedding story, but transport us back to that day and the feel of that day. Christy and Adrianne

    Our wedding photos are my absolutely favorite pick-me-up when I'm having a bad day. I look at them almost daily - and it's been 6 months! Emily and Julie were wonderful to work with - easygoing, fun, and patient with our large bridal party (and our crazy families!). They captured the emotion of the day in a way I never dreamed possible. I am so grateful we decided to go with them.

    I can't even begin to say how much I loved working with Tellchronicles. Emily did both our engagement and wedding day photos and I feel so lucky that she was with us to capture these important moments. Emily is an absolute joy to work with and to be around. In addition to being so sweet, kind, amazing and professional she is ridiculously talented. We are obsessed with our wedding photos and I literally cannot stop looking at them. Emily captured every single important moment on our big day and did it so beautifully. Thank you so much, Emily. We will cherish our photos forever. XOXO

    Emily is the most wonderful wedding photographer you could ever wish for. She was supportive, helpful, funny, understanding, and enthusiastic throughout the whole process. My fiancee was dreading doing things like engagement pictures and portraits, but Emily made it so lighthearted and fun that he ended up really enjoying it. The pictures themselves have made everyone laugh and cry and smile. Absolutely beautiful.

    Emily's photography speaks for it self. My jaw dropped when I saw my wedding photos (I got them pretty quickly too). She made my husband and I look like we were models! But as if that wasn't enough, Emily was so much fun to work with! She was so easy going yet professional and did a great job of getting us to loosen up during photos and keeping us relaxed on an incredibly stressful day. We would have thought that we were the only focus for the day but when we got the pictures back we saw that she caught so many other thoughtful details and interactions between guests that will be so precious to us as time goes on. Anyone can pick up a camera but Emily has that artistic eye that makes the difference between a mere record of the wedding and memorializing such a huge life event. Memory fades and I'm so glad that I can revisit the best day of my life through Emily's camera lens. You will not regret it if you book her!

    From the moment we began our planning, up to the big day, Emily from Tell Chronicles was incredible to deal with! Her natural joy and enthusiasm is contagious! Her photography is an amazing work of art. She manages to capture the entire "story" of the wedding; from start to finish. Emily has a natural way of putting people at ease and it's reflected by the smiles in the pictures. As mother of the bride, I would recommend Tell Chronicles for any event worth having a picture of. I know that we will use them again!

    I could not be any happier - I am a professional photographer myself, so having another photographer whose work I admired and respected was very important to me on my wedding. I didn't want to be sitting there thinking "I could have taken better wedding photos myself".

    I met Emily at a local bridal show when I was walking around scouting all of the photographers. I was unimpressed by most of the vendors I saw at the show - their work was too generic and their poses were too forced. Tell, on the other hand, caused me to immediately stop and say "these people will photograph my wedding". Emily has a gift, one that cannot be taught, and her use of natural lighting in a scene is something I've rarely seen matched by other portrait photographers. I would have been willing to pay 3 times what I paid them because the prints where that fantastic.

    Emily is also great to work with - she's very funny and was able to get genuine smiles rather than just asking us to say 'Cheese'. Let me stress how hard that is - after 10 minutes of forced smiling it becomes obvious in your photos, but every print Emily made has genuine smiles.

    If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you have found the one you need. They will not disappoint and you're going to be thrilled you went with them. Photography is expensive, but it's one of the few things you'll take away from your wedding, so it's one of those areas where it's worth spending a few extra bucks. Emily and Tell did such a great job, I'd be willing to stake my own professional reputation on endorsing them!

    Emily was an amazing photographer, everyone I spoke with after the wedding had only good things to say about her. We received the pictures promptly and they turned out wonderful. Emily's pictures weren't just any pictures, she was able to capture the moment. The package included: 8 hours of pictures, you receive all the pictures in digital, and you get a nice album afterward for a very reasonable price. I would recommend tell. to anyone who asks for a wedding photographer.

    Emily was AMAZING! She is incredibly talented and has the ability to make anyone look like a model! She is very professional but super fun! She really listens to what you want, and is super accommodating and flexible. My engagement photos and wedding photos turned out beautiful. I will absolutely recommend her to all of my friends and use her again when we have little ones and need family portraits :)

    We knew we had found the right photographer at our first meeting with Emily. She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. She always returns phone calls and e-mails right away. She made us feel comfortable and was easy to work with. And most importantly, we love our photos!! We look forward to working with Emily and tell. again in the future!

    I can't even put in the words how much we love both our engagement and wedding pictures! Emily captured all the love and happiness of the day. My husband and I HATE getting our pictures taken and usually avoid doing so, but we can't stop looking at every amazing picture Emily captured!

    Emily is absolutely amazing to work with and such a fantastic photographer!! Our pictures look like they are straight out of Vogue, and we continue to get so many compliments on them.

    I can't thank Emily (and tellchronicles) enough for making our engagement shoot such an AMAZING experience and capturing everything we wanted perfectly!!!
    We are so in love with the photos and i know we will cherish them forever.

    Tell. Photography captured our engagement photos and OMG they were gorgeous! I received so many compliments :) I was so nervous for no reason- Emily did an amazing job making us feel very comfortable and was a great director the entire time!

    We hired Tell. for our engagement photos this fall. Emily is an amazing photographer and the photos, as well as the slideshow, brought a tear to my eye (and the majority of the family). With our two dogs and kitten, I thought it would be a little hectic trying to get some good shots, but Emily was running around, saying jokes to get us to laugh and even jumped around barking at times to get the pups attention. This girl is in her zone! She captured the exact vision I had been hoping to get and am so lucky to have booked her for our wedding :) I would definitely recommend tell. to anyone and everyone!

    Emily did an amazing job taking our engagement pictures. I was really nervous about getting them done since I had a vision in mind but wasn't sure I would be comfortable enough in front of the camera to get those amazing shots I have seen other people achieve in their engagement shoots. Emily went above and beyond what I envisioned. She was great at easing Kris and I into the shoot and encouraging us the whole way. All the shots she took were amazing and I am still getting compliments on them. I cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding and see her work her magic again.

    I had a hard time finding a great photographer after another photographer flaked out about 2 or 3 months before my wedding. I've known Emily since high school but I did not know how amazing a photographer she is. I was a little worried at first because she is so new in the business but after I saw my beautiful engagement photos, I was incredibly excited to see what the wedding photos would look like. Her style in my opinion is classic but slightly artistic. She seems to enjoy using natural lighting and in many of my photos the lighting is just incredible. She worked really hard to make sure we got all of the photos that I wanted. Dozens of people have already commented on my photos telling me how incredible they are. Lastly, unlike some photographers, Emily gave a few suggestions to help ensure that I looked amazing, not just that hte photo was amazing which meant that she cared about how I looked in the photos. If you want an amzing photographer who will take tons of time to take the very best wedding photos at an extremely reasonable price then I would most definitely go with Emily.

    Emily was absolutely wonderful. She did both our engagement shots, and wedding photography. Immediately after seeing how amazing our engagement pictures came out, I knew we had the right photographer. Before doing anything she asked us both, what we liked in wedding pictures that we've seen to get a feel of our style....and she hit the nail on the head. Our pictures are incredible! I'm sure we'll use her again, perhaps when we add on! I would definitely recommend tell. !

    Best photographer I've ever worked with HANDS DOWN. I am not a photogenic individual, yet Emily from Tell Portraits was able to make my husband and I look unbelievably great. I've worked with a few photographers for modeling photoshoots but not one of my pictures have turned out as beautiful and professional as my wedding/engagement pictures have and it's all because of Emily. She's an absolutely wonderful photographer to work with. Most photographers expect the client/model to create their own poses for the camera but what made our photoshoot so fun and smooth was Emily guiding us on how to pose, angle and position ourselves in order to capture the perfect lighting and picture. She noticed that my husband I were a bit tense due to not being familiar with posing naturally in front of the camera, it felt awkward to us, mostly for Matt. Emily jumped right in and changed the atmosphere by cracking jokes, conversing with us, where to focus, how to hold one another and simply guiding us each step of the way on how to position ourselves for the camera. Tell portraits made my engagement pictures and wedding pictures look like magazine covers. I haven't had this many compliment in my entire life. Some people couldn't even beileve it was my husband and I when they looked through our pictures. Every shot was impeccable. Emily is truly talented...She took an average looking couple and made them look incredible. Because of Emily, I go through my wedding/engagement pictures everyday. I can't stop myself from looking at them. Thank you so much Emily! Because of you, Matt and I will have these beautiful wedding pictures FOREVER!! Thank you so much for creating a lasting memory of our special day for us. It means the world to us to see these pictures and go back to that day and take it all in all over again... I LOVE TELL PORTRAITS!!!!!!

    TellChronicles did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos. These sisters have some real talent and capture the MOST BEAUTIFUL photos. Their style is to make the experience fun for everyone and you can really see it reflect in the photography. We would 100% recommend them for your wedding, engagement, or family photos. We'll definitely use their services in the future. Thanks!
