Highly Recommended!

I met arika when she captured my sister's wedding. I knew when I was engaged, I wanted her to be the one to also capture mine. Arika and Tim are very professional and make sure that you get all the photos you are hoping for. Arika hones in on all of the details and makes your day run smoothly! They are there for every second of the day. Not only do they document your whole day with photos they also keep you on schedule. I recommend arika and Tim to all of my friends and family!

They helped us navigate our destination vow renewal flawlessly. It was so perfect and a dream come true. Cannot thank them enough for helping the dream of these pictures become a reality. Totally recommend for all photography needs.

Personal, professional, and loved by all!

We chose Arika & Tim as our engagement and wedding photographers not only because they’re good friends of ours, but also because we knew they were easy going, willing to accommodate requests from both of us as well as our family members, and because they were willing to travel to Charleston, SC where we had our intimate ceremony with immediate family. We had SO much fun throughout the entire process and have received countless compliments on all of our photos. We could not be happier with the experience or the photos! I look forward to using Arika & Tim’s annual 50% off photos to continue to capture all of life’s special moments!!

Amazing!

What an absolutely incredible experience Arika and Tim provided for us as our wedding photographers and videographers. They were so easy to work with, timely and attentive to detail, and the final product was everything we could have asked for. So many amazing moments captured in their work, and we just recently received our wedding video which brought such fond memories rushing back. I highly recommend Emerald Anchor for any photography services you need, I promise you’ll never be disappointed! Thank you again Arika and Tim!

Simply the best

Arika and Tim are simply THE BEST when it comes to proposal/engagement/wedding photos. They make your experience so much fun and all in all are easy to connect with. They'll do anything to get the perfect photos and PERFECT mine are. I will truly cherish our photos for the rest of my life. They're better than I could've ever imagined.

The best experience!

Arika and Tim were incredible from the beginning, taking pictures at our proposal all the way to delivering our wedding pictures! All of our pictures turned out incredible and I am someone who is not great at taking pictures! They made us feel so comfortable and worth every dollar spent! I will absolutely reach out to them again to do other pictures in the future!

Talented, resourceful, flexible scheduling, personable, and calming

Arika has an aesthetic eye that plans and captures beyond what you attempt to imagine. In the realm of photo composition and augmentation of color, Arika is exceptional. I am bless to have her as our photographer.
If you need a photographer, from a wedding, to the annual fall family photos, Emerald Anchor Photography will capture the moment or season in a way that enlivens your memory more brilliantly than even you will remember.

Outstanding!

Emerald Anchor is amazing! Arika was so easy to work with and she captured the exact vision we had for our wedding day. She was there the entire day and captured every single detail imaginable! Can't recommend Emerald Anchor enough for any newly engaged couples looking for their engagement/wedding photos.

We loved our wedding pictures!

We really appreciate that Arika was able to travel out of state to shoot our engagement pictures. We felt comfortable and had a great time taking pictures. Arika and Tim are very kind, personable and easy to work with. Thank you both!

Exceptional service!

Emerald Anchor Photography went above and beyond our hopes- not only did we feel exceptionally comfortable with them, but they added plenty of fun and laughs to the party! It truly felt like old friends were taking our pictures. As for the results, the photos turned out extraordinary. They went to incredible lengths to capture the perfect shots – even laying on the ground, head and and shoulders angled upward uncomfortably – and their outstanding effort shows! The high quality, professional images captured timeless moments we will forever treasure. We highly recommend these remarkable photographers.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
