Emily has become someone that I cannot imagine not having her capturing my life. She is someone I followed for years, so the second I got engaged, I knew she was my girl to capture these upcoming special moments. My fiancé and I did our engagement shoot with her in August of 2023 and I have never seen my fiancé be so comfortable in front of a camera than when Emily was behind it. She is hilarious, truthful, has outstanding work, and just such a great person to be around during such special times. Everyone needs to hire her, you will NOT regret it....

I had the privilege of first meeting Emily at a different wedding when I was a bridesmaid and she was the photographer. I knew right then and there that when I got engaged one day, I would book her immediately. And that's exactly what my fiance and I did! Emily was the second vendor we booked because we didn't want to risk not having her shoot our special day. After looking at her portfolio and during our first FaceTime with her, my fiance also fell in love with her raw talent at capturing each couple's story and how she captures the moments you didn't know you needed captured. We recently had our engagement session with Emily and while I don't always feel the most comfortable in front of the camera, she made me feel comfortable right away. That's because not only is she that incredible of a photographer, but she makes you part of her friend circle right away. She becomes so much more than a photographer when you book with her - she becomes your right-hand woman, ally, and friend. Emily truly has a talent that you won't find elsewhere and after receiving our engagement photos back, we absolutely cannot wait to have her capture our wedding day!

Emily will be the first to say that she is an acquired taste. You might read that and be hesitant, and that is okay. If you enjoy someone who is direct, passionate, and not to mention talented (with a hint of raunchy in the best way) as hell, she is your girl. I was first drawn to Emily for her editing style. I saw her profile on instagram and knew that was what I wanted for our wedding - I must admit I followed her business for a few years before we were even engaged. In doing so I learned more about the person behind the camera and instantly connected with the person and their art.

We met for our engagement shoot. It was rainy a rainy October day. The second we were in Emily's presence she literally took my hand and we walked and she brought us to each spot and we just had fun. I knew we were in good hands. And then our album dropped... damn.

One year later it's wedding time. We met and reviewed timeline and once again her direct attitude and confidence made me feel reassured. Emily arrived to the hotel room and I instantly felt grounded. She did her thing and we were all getting ready. I was even able to take a moment and just sit with her and catch up. It takes a special chemistry to feel that grounded and calm on the morning of your wedding. There were times that I honestly forgot "the photographer" was there because she just blended in so seamlessly.

I also would be remiss if I didn't make a note that we had some familial tensions throughout the day and Emily was always there for US. Even if other people wanted us to wrap things up, Emily knew that she was there for my husband and I and would just keep going and I am grateful for that because I know at the end of the day I would be upset if we didn't capture Emily's vision.

I didn't even realize it until after the wedding, I never gave Emily a shot list. She did not need it. After the ceremony, Emily stated confidently "alright, I have my system." And it was a well-oiled machine. This group of people in, these people out... she ran her show and ran it well.

Trust the vendors that you connect with. Treat your vendors as humans. Remember they're the professionals in their art and you, yes, hired them for a reason. But, take a moment to make sure they're there for you. I felt that confidence and connection to Emily. I cannot wait to see our photos and I trust every second she puts into work on them will be beyond worth it.
