5⭐️ for Emily! Would give more if we could!

Emily did an incredible job capturing our wedding day (and our engagement photos too!). From Day 1 of working with Emily it was clear she was truly invested in getting to know us as a couple. She was there every step of the way to help with planning to make sure that our wedding day went smoothly and that we maximized time for photos as well as getting to actually enjoy our wedding! She was game for all of our ideas and photo locations, going the extra mile to help scout out good backdrops to get the perfect lake and mountain vibes we wanted. Every single photo is worthy of framing which is pretty rare, but goes to show how talented Emily is and how hard she works in editing to get you a final product to be proud of. 10000/10, absolutely recommend choosing Emily for your wedding/engagement/family photos!

Emily will make your photo dreams come true!

For us, there was simply no one else who could photograph our wedding! Emily is a professional through and through. She makes you feel at ease and comfortable from the moment she meets you. We had done a couples session with her before & consider her a great friend. Our entire bridal party loved her and the sneak peeks took our breath away. This is not a photographer who will get a couple shots and be done with it. She is taking pictures of absolutely everything, catching the best moments of the entire day and using her gorgeous editing style to make them even better. You need to hire Emily, she will go above and beyond whatever your wildest expectations are and you will LOVE the results.

The BEST wedding photographer hands down!!

Emily was the wedding photographer of my DREAMS!! Not only does she take the most stunning photos but she is the absolute sweetest soul. From our first phone call together we instantly clicked. Our first shoot together was our engagement photos and she captured our vibe and aesthetic exactly as I imagined. She has the best eye and I couldn’t be happier with how our wedding memories turned out. She was so attentive and responsive throughout the whole process she made the day sooo stress free. I seriously couldn’t recommend her enough!!!!

Best Wedding Ever

We hired Emily for our fall wedding in the Adirondacks in New York. We also had a separate engagement shoot with her as part of that the day before our wedding.

I'll start by getting straight to the point- Emily was the perfect photographer for our wedding and for us. If I thought it was at all wise I would put my phone number on here and just say call me and I'll tell you why you should hire her. Her photography speaks for itself and she captured more perfect, hang-on-the-wall, share-with-your-kids-and-grandkids, moments than I ever thought we'd get. The main thing for me was that almost from the outset it didn't seem like we found a photographer it felt like we just had a really close friend we'd asked to photograph our wedding. Her first questions weren't about what shots we wanted (though she of course covers all of that in detail), but more about how we met, what our love story was, and what we wanted our wedding to feel like. The execution on the day of the wedding was perfection. Emily was on top of everything and worked seamlessly with our other vendors, it honestly felt as though they'd all worked together constantly rather than just having met.

We also did an engagement shoot with Emily and she drove all the way up to the top of Whiteface Mountain (quite a trek) to get our pictures with the fall foliage. She will really go above and beyond to make your dream setting work. Not to mention that she got most of the shots from that day back to us THE NEXT DAY, that's insane.

I'm running out of superlatives so let me just summarize with- at the very least talk with Emily and feel her energy and her warmth. And I hope you're lucky enough to work with her.

Perfection

Planning a wedding can be so stressful...there are so many details to think about, so many opinions, and there can be a lot of pressure for only a few hours.
At the end of the day what matters most is capturing those precious moments in photos.
I had searched through so many instagrams looking for the right photographer and when I stumbled on Emily's through an old classmates, I knew my searching was over.
There is no better way to describe Emily than an artist. Her use of color, her eye for details, the way she effortlessly captures moments is an art form.
Emily instantly makes you feel comfortable, you forget there is a camera there. She has the ability to capture true organic moments, nothing overly posed.
She is just amazing.
The easiest decision in our wedding planning process. We love Emily so much and are so blessed we were able to have her be a part of our day and make it so special.

Amazing!!!

Emily shot our engagement and wedding photos and from the very beginning of meeting her we knew she was going to be amazing. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and was so involved the entire time. Her attention to special details, kindness, organization, and true talent made our photography experience enjoyable and relaxed. Emily is sweet, involved, thorough, and most importantly, incredibly talented. Our pictures from our engagement shoot and our wedding will be ones we cherish forever and we have Emily to thank for that. We recommended her for all of your photography needs, she truly is amazing!!!!

Truly memorable

Me and my husband absolutely loved our experience with Emily!! From when we first inquired booking with her, all the way to the very end when our wedding gallery was completed, she treated us like family and friends, not just another client. She was so fun during the session and quick responses after!

The best photographer!!

Emily is truly the best wedding photographer I could have ever asked for! I can’t recommend her enough. Included with our package we got an engagement session and she spent a lot of time getting to know us to really understand what we were looking for in our photos. If you are camera shy or don’t know what poses will look the best she will tell you exactly what to do for natural flattering pictures. She is not only such a talented photographer, she is such a kind soul and has become a close friend!! If you are looking for moody golden hour photos she is your girl!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
