Five stars aren't enough!!

I could not be happier that we booked Emily to shoot our wedding- I'll treasure these photos forever!
I'm floored by Emily's work. I was familiar with her work before booking her, and I was still blown away (and I've still only seen our preview album!) My friends and family have all been beyond impressed by the photos too.
It was also such a pleasure having Emily there and part of our day. She's as friendly and professional as you could possibly hope. It takes a lot of trust to capture important days, and Emily deserves and has earned that trust! I can't recommend her highly enough!

Em is amazing

We hired Em for our engagement session and wedding this past fall. Immediately upon our initial call I knew she was the right fit. She strikes the perfect balance of being personable, easygoing and professional. Our engagement session in the park was a blast! Unfortunately she wasn't able to be there on our wedding day, but she took the best care of us and arranged for her associate photographer to be there, who also did an AMAZING job. The transition was completely seamless and stress-free and we felt taken care of every step of the way. We were thrilled with the outcome and would recommend to anyone. Honestly, don't look any further!

She’s the best!

Connecting with your photographer is paramount and Emily did an amazing job of making us feel at ease with her. Our photos turned out amazing and we can’t wait to work with Emily again on something else.

Professional, sweet and good at getting the perfect shot quickly!

Em was so sweet and captured our day perfectly! It was great that she offered a quick engagement photo session before the big day to get used to the camera and we received some beautiful pictures in Central Park! The day of the wedding it was a bit gloomy and raining but she made sure that we captured all of the right moments in the best lighting and made sure everyone felt comfortable and was included in the day. I would highly recommend her! Thanks so much Em!

Em is the best!

As soon as we had our first phone call with Em, we knew she would be the perfect fit for us. She was always full of energy, excitement, and passion (both online and in person), and it definitely showed, especially when our “mini” engagement session ended up going over 2 hours!
Em was so easygoing and was a treat to work with from beginning to end. It was amazing to hear everybody at our wedding rave about how much they enjoyed her company and how well their photos came out.
Speaking of photos, Em went above and beyond with the finalized photos, both in terms of quantity AND in quality. All the photos came out exactly the way we wanted; we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our day while also enjoying the day with us. We hope she had as much fun on our wedding day as we did, though it definitely seemed like it from the way we were all on the dance floor! Em gets an EASY recommendation from us. She is the best!

Lifetime Photographer

Where to start - the moment I saw her work I KNEW that she was our photographer. Then we chatted on the phone and I really felt it. Once we met I was even more sure of our decision. Our wedding guests loved Emily as much as we did. She was a ninja - she was able to snap some many beautifully candid photos without being intrusive. Her style of photography really captures all elements and she as person is so sweet, passionate, and fun! We love our wedding album and will remain loyal to her for the rest of our days. We LOVE Emily!

Our Dream Photographer Come True!!

My now wife and I decided to plan a wedding in just 4 weeks and we were so lucky to find Em on Zola within the first few days of searching for a photographer. She’s responsive, energetic, and charismatic, yet works like a ninja and got all those perfect candid shots that we were hoping for! Leading up to the big day, Em helped us tremendously with our overall planning by suggesting various shots and order of events to make the dream a reality. She was so patient and sweet when assembling the family group photos- which is never an easy task- and she fit right in with our group of friends and family. Everyone loved Em at our wedding and we’re all incredibly impressed and grateful for her ability to capture our unforgettable day. Highly recommend!! I’m sad I can only give her 5 stars and not more!

Engagement photo client

Run to book Emily now! We did our engagement photos this month with Emily on the upper east side in NYC, and were blown away by everything. She gives an amazing cinematic quality to her work, and made this time in our lives, living in our favorite city look so magical and special. She was professional, made us feel super comfortable right off the bat, accommodated fitting in our dog with a few shots, and always emailed me back super promptly leading up to our session. She worked hard to make the most of our session time, creatively using several spots within our greater location. We so appreciate her and consider the photos priceless. Would 10/10 recommend!

Such a great person to work with!

Emily did an amazing job when we hired her for our wedding. Due to covid, we had to reschedule several times and she was so flexible and professional throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, she did a phenomenal job with gathering all of the family members for pictures and got so many memorable shots. Her style of photography is so timeless and she works meticulously to make each picture look absolutely perfect. Highly recommend using Emily!

The Best Around!!

Em is always, always my go-to photographer - for myself and as a recommendation! She is kind, patient, and simply a joy to work with. Em has taken mine and my partner’s anniversary photos every year for 5 years. She’s taken several of my friends’ wedding photos. She’ll take my wedding photos. I cannot, cannot recommend her enough! If you’re looking for someone easy to work with, who will absolutely deliver your dreams, and make every photo feel like YOU, look no further.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
