One of the best decisions we made during wedding planning was choosing Emerald Stone photography for our big day! Erica was a joy to work with from our initial phone call, leading up to the wedding and even post wedding day. Prior to the wedding Erica knew the right questions to ask to determine what was most important to us. Not only is Erica awesome to work with but her team is as well- I couldn't have imagined a better photography and videography team! Josh (photos) and Mace (video) went above and beyond- they made us laugh and guided us on poses that we wouldn't have thought to do. They were very engaging and creative in their shots and made it easy! We will forever cherish the moments they captured and I can see why Emerald Stone is voted top 5% in the US.

I'm trying to find the words to express just how incredible the team was that helped bring so much happiness and ease to our day, specifically Bryan. We could not have asked for a better team - they exceeded our expectations and then some.

I want to note how attentive, professional but personal and FUN they were. While it was not Bryan's job to watch after our 18 month old, he did with a smile. When our day of coordinator left and we really had your team to rely on for certain things, they jumped at the opportunity to help. The weather surely wasn't on our side for the photos I had envisioned, it didn't even matter. I am forever grateful for your team, their generosity, their professionalism but more importantly their ability to immerse themselves into our celebration like they were meant to be there. It's a hard feeling to explain but everything felt just right.

So again, thank you. I did personally thank Bryan but if you could please pass on the message to the rest of the team (also a specific thank you to the videographer who shares the same name/surname as our boy Thompson) - we've gained some friends.

We cannot wait to recommend your team and services to anyone and everyone.

We appreciate you all so much!!!!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Michael! He was hands down one of the absolute best parts of our vow renewal, and we couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect photographer to capture such a meaningful day in our lives!

From the moment he arrived, Michael felt like family. He wasn't just someone there to take pictures; he genuinely became part of our celebration. His warmth, kindness, incredible personality, and ability to make everyone feel so comfortable were absolutely unmatched. It honestly felt like we had known him forever!

What meant the most to us was how absolutely phenomenal he was with our three children, especially our wild and energetic 3-year-old! Michael had the patience of a saint, made the kids laugh, and somehow managed to make everything feel effortless. He embraced the chaos, rolled with every moment, and never once made us feel rushed or stressed. As parents, that means more than he could ever know!

Michael has such a special gift that goes far beyond photography. He has a way of making people feel important, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. His passion for what he does shines through in every interaction, and his dedication to making our day perfect was evident in everything he did.

We went into our vow renewal hoping to have beautiful memories captured, but we walked away feeling like we had gained a friend. I truly believe some people are simply meant to be part of certain moments in your life, and Michael was absolutely meant to be part of ours.

We couldn't have imagined a more perfect photographer, a more wonderful person, or anyone else we would have wanted by our side on such a special day. Michael exceeded every expectation we could have possibly had, and we will forever be grateful for the love, laughter, patience, and heart he brought to our celebration.

If you're lucky enough to have Michael photograph your special day, I promise you're getting so much more than a photographer. You're getting someone who genuinely cares about making your memories unforgettable. We would choose him a million times over! ❤️

Thank you so much,
Brittany & Steve Lushko Jr

Erica and her team were wonderful from start to finish, especially on our wedding day. Erica was very responsive and took the time to understand our vision. Her thorough pre-wedding questionnaire helped make sure every detail was covered.

Our lead photographer, Bryan, was exceptional, and we were so glad to have him with us. The sneak peek photos arrived quickly and look amazing; we cannot wait to see the rest!

Emerald Stone offers quality work, a fantastic team, and great packages that are worth the price. We’re so grateful we chose them for our wedding and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photo and video package from one vendor!

Working with Emerald Stone for our wedding photography was a great experience, as the team was very kind and helpful on our wedding day, and Erica the owner was very organized and attentive during our planning and preparations. We've only seen our sneak peeks so far, but they turned out wonderful! Would 10/10 recommend Emerald Stone!

Emerald Stone captured our special day so beautifully and expertly ❤️ We were confident that our photos would come out perfectly the moment we spoke to Erica and her team! Despite the brief rain on the wedding day, Photographer Jazma and her assistant Alisha kept the energy high and the vibes positive! We will be cherishing these photos forever and ever ❤️ Emerald Stone is the answer to getting the most authentic, gorgeous wedding photos of all time!

Our experience with Zach and Libby was superb! Zach and Libby introduced themselves before filming and they had great energy. Throughout the filming process, Zach's awesome personality added to our enjoyment of the filming process. We could tell that he genuinely enjoyed the work he was doing and that he wanted to make our video and our day enjoyable any way he could. The way he talked to us with great care and sincerity, Jessie and I really liked Zach. Libby had a great personality as well. They felt like guests at our wedding, with their friendly natures and upbeat attitudes. We are so excited to see how the drone footage turned out! We had absolutely no issues whatsoever. We would be happy to recommend Emerald Stone after the awesome experience we had with Zach and Libby. They deserve a raise!

We absolutely LOVED our photography and videography team for our wedding!! I had sent them some inspiration photos prior to the wedding and they had them site on scene to recreate! I loved that they wanted to make sure they got everything we wanted and more! We truly loved them and would book them again in a heartbeat!

My husband and I can't say enough great things about the Emerald Stone team. We were on the fence about hiring a wedding videographer originally as it can be such a huge expense, but 2 months before our wedding we decided to just go for it and started searching for a videographer in our budget. After comparing 5-6 companies, Emerald Stone came in at the best price with the package we were wanting. The videos they produced far exceeded our expectations and perfectly captured our day- we can't stop watching them! What made it even better was the quick but thorough planning meetings we had with Erica that helped assure us that we were in good hands. We know this will be a family heirloom we will look back on for many years to come. If you're on the fence about a videographer- hire Emerald Stone, you won't be disappointed!

Emerald Stone was on our venue’s preferred list and when I contacted them, I gave them a desired budget and they were able to work with us to stay within our budget while still creating an amazing contract. Throughout the process the owner Erica was very helpful to check in and offer additional deals, updates, and reminders. We met our lead photographer James at our free engagement shoot and instantly connected with him. The rest of the wedding day team Kham, Alisha, and Maya were an absolute joy to work with as well with their kindness and exceptional work ethic. We just received our sneak peeks and can’t wait to see the rest of the photography and videography, what we have seen so far has wowed us! Highly, highly recommend investing in this team for photography, they helped give us the best wedding day and are worth every penny!
