What is the story behind Box Of Light Photography?

Hi, I'm Emily! I'm a mother, wife and adventurer with a passion for photography. I love photographing all stages of people's lives, but weddings and engagements are my favorite. I strive to put you at ease on what is typically a stressful day. Each of my wedding packages comes with a completely complimentary engagement session. This allows for you to see how we work together and of course you will receive a delightful experience and some great images as a result.

Just to assure you that I really know what I'm doing, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Photography from Grand Valley State University and have been photographing professionally for nine years. So when I say it's my passion, you know I'm not messing around.

One of my favorite parts about photography is getting to meet new people. I love sitting down or chatting over the phone with my clients so we can get to know each other. This, along with the engagement session, helps me ensure that your personalities shine through your photographs. Let's connect and talk about how we can create a beautiful experience together with images for you to relish.

Beyond Amazing!

Emily is such a wonderful person to work with. From the first meeting at our engagement shoot, through the wedding. She stood up for us and our timeline when we were pressured by others to change things. She was personable and captured so many details and creative shots. She made sure to get every shot on the list I gave her, and every pose I sent to her that I wanted to get. When we got to our gallery we decided to have a viewing party, and it was magical getting to relive our special day, laughing and crying again. Last but not least, she adhered to every and any timeline that was set, always communicating updates along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding photographer!

Amazing Experience!

Emily was professional, on time and very communicative from first contact! My husband and I were unsure of how we wanted to pose in our photos and Emily did a great job of directing us, keeping it light and candid! She kept us updated on when we would receive our finished photos after the big day. The photos arrived on time and they were better than we could have imagined!! We will for sure be using her in the future.

Fantastic photographer

Box of Light Photography did a fantastic job for my son and daughter in law’s wedding this summer. She was professional and flexible throughout the day. She went above and beyond in making the day perfect. As I sit and look through the gallery of photos she took I relive what a beautiful day it was. She captured all the best moments

Highly recommend

Emily is fantastic. She is mutual friends with a lot of my friends and after seeing her work she was the obvious choice for our wedding this past August. Her creative and professional work captured so many wonderful memories that we will treasure for our entire lives. She was very patient and understanding that it is such a stressful day and worked so well with us on everything we wanted. Thank you Emily we will without a doubt recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer.

Let me get real. I'm not a huge fan of photos of myself but everyone that Emily took I truly loved. She has a way of capturing the perfect emotion in each click of her camera. Trusting her judgment on what it looks like on the otherside of the lens is key. Some positions may feel weird but boy do they turn out to be show stopping FAVORITES. Everyone I know just adores my engagement and wedding photos. Highly recommend this beautiful woman!!!!

COVID-19 Cancelation - no refund

We had scheduled our wedding a year and a half in advance and secured Emily as our photographer. The State Mandated Shut Down happened due to COVID-19 and we were forced to cancel our long awaited wedding day.

Emily would not refund our retainer fee of $400. She stated she would “allow us to reschedule” or “forfeit the retainer fee.” Even though the date for which we retained her she legally could not shoot a wedding where 300 people were present, because of the Governor's Executive Order.

This was the only vendor out of 6 that we had this unreasonable request to reschedule a wedding of 300+ people.

I would never recommend working with someone like this to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
