Incredible experience!

Choosing Emily was one of the best decisions we made as part of our wedding planning! She is extraordinarily talented, professional, and easy to work with. I tend to be camera-shy, and she found a way to cue every special moment to capture it’s essence. We’ll treasure our photos for a lifetime - if we could give her 100 stars we would!

Emily was amazing! She did such a fantastic job with our wedding. She is so easy to work with and so sweet! She had a very thorough questionnaire she had us fill out prior to the wedding to help her day of and to make sure we got everything we wanted. We are so pleased with Emily and her work! I have already referred friends to Emily and plan to keep sending people her way!

Emily was the perfect photographer for not only our wedding, but also for engagement photos and bridal portraits. All of the photos were absolutely beautiful, and she captured every memory with exquisite detail. We will definitely book her again in the future!

Let me start by saying my fiance and I are very awkward in front of the camera. We've been together for seven years but have very few nice pictures together. That being said, I was fairly nervous for our engagement session knowing what types of posed pictures I've seen from other sessions online, and thinking about how we would have to be vulnerable like that in front of the camera. Pretty much all my nerves went away within a few minutes of working with Emily. She knew all the right things to say to get us to loosen up a bit and to have fun with the shoot. I really began to look forward to working with Emily and her team even more so as our wedding grew closer. A month out from our wedding, Emily sent us a very detailed questionnaire and we met to go over it in person when I was in town for our final walkthrough. Emily was very accommodating of my schedule given that I was wedding planning from out of town, and only had a few weekend trips to cram everything in. On the day of our wedding Emily and her team were on time, professional, and very organized in terms of timeline. They really made the day flow smoothly and made sure we didn't miss out on any of the specific photos we had indicated in our questionnaire. Emily and her entire team were so kind and really made me feel at ease during the entire day. We received a sneak peek less than a week after our wedding and we are absolutely thrilled with the first glimpses of our wedding photos. We cannot wait to see the rest of our album and are so grateful to have worked with Emily on our big day.

Working with Emily was Fabulous!

Emily is detail oriented and has a fabulous work style! She is efficient with her photography, but still manages to capture each and every photo that we wanted. She worked with our other vendors to assist in making sure our wedding day moved seamlessly- she is so much more than just a photographer! Oh, and her pictures turn out absolutely stunning, with a quick turnaround. Emily is absolute professionalism with beautiful style.
