Incredible artist

Emily Wren and her husband Gregg (Wren Films) are the ultimate power couple that you NEED capturing your wedding. We have been laughing and crying looking over the photos and videos in the very best way. It was an honor to have such a fun loving and energetic team capturing our special day. We had Emily, Gregg, Gabby, Nick, and Stan on photo/video for our wedding weekend, and the entire team are true professionals. The attention to detail is simply unparalleled. From adjusting the train of my dress to the perfect position, to micing my husband up for our private vows so we could record them but then physically giving us more space so the vows could feel private... Emily and her team know the precise moments when it's best that they disappear into the periphery versus when to get up close and personal with us to inject some humor into a moment with us. This sensitivity and awareness is key when photographing a wedding day and the team could not have executed their jobs more flawlessly. Stan did an incredible job with our film shots, Gabby was an absolute joy to work with at our rehearsal dinner, and Nick, clad with a miniature speaker on his belt loop, was on the money all day capturing the groomsmen and assisting as second shooter for the rest of the day. Emily, Gregg, and the team are not only true artists and professionals, but they are genuinely the most high quality humans and the exact type of people you want to surround you on the most important day of your life. We truly feel they are apart of our village now! It is a special privilege to share your wedding day with a couple who obviously loves each other so much because it uplifts the whole vibe of your day- trust me, hire them both!! Our only regret about hiring Emily Wren photography and Wren Films is that we don't have another event coming up in the near future. We're chomping at the bit for our next excuse to hire them again!

Highly Recommend Emily and Team!

We are so happy that we chose Emily to be part of our wedding day! When deciding what was important to us for our wedding day, we knew a great photographer was high on the list because they are capturing the memories you will look at for the rest of your lives. We knew early on we wanted Emily to be that person given the work we had seen of hers and all of the amazing things everyone has to say about her and her team. The pictures turned out to be everything we could have wanted - timeless and authentic to the day, to us, and to the memories being made by the people who were there. She captured all of the special moments we are so happy we can look back on and relive.
Emily was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. From initial booking, to our engagement session, organizing the timeline and shot list for the day, how she showed up for us day of, to getting our final albums, she was always so professional, responsive, organized, calming, creative, and just overall kind.
Her and Nick were a joy to have with us on our wedding day! They both had such great energy and positive vibes, making us feel relaxed and that we could be present during the whole day, knowing they would get the job done! They really captured and embraced the emotions of the day. We can't recommend Emily enough!

Wedding Photos

Emily Wren and her team were truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

From the very beginning, Emily’s communication and organization gave us so much confidence and peace of mind. She was thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly intentional — we always felt supported and understood throughout the entire process.

On the wedding day itself, Emily and her team brought such a calming, warm presence. They made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Nothing ever felt forced or rushed — everything felt natural, relaxed, and genuinely joyful. Our families and bridal party commented on how kind, professional, and easy her team was to be around.

And the photos… we are absolutely blown away. Emily captured our day in a way that feels romantic, authentic, and timeless — every image tells a story and brings us right back to how we felt in those moments. She didn’t just document the day; she captured the emotion, the connection, and the in‑between moments we’ll treasure forever.

We cannot recommend Emily Wren highly enough. Her talent, professionalism, and heart for her couples truly set her apart. We are endlessly grateful to have had her capture one of the most important days of our lives.

We are so blown away by our wedding photos. Emily and Nick captured each and every moment so perfectly. We have been grinning ear to ear non stop since opening the album. Not only is her work stunning, but the entire experience was effortless and organized. We couldn’t be happier with the process and final results. Book her you won't regret it!!

June Michener Wedding

We are so happy we made the decision to book with Emily Wren! She was the epitome of calm, cool and collected on our wedding day and the photos we received absolutely lived up to expectations. We were specifically looking for a photographer who would be confident capturing a couple with different skin tones and she did not let us down! For our engagement shoot, we did half of the shoot in our apartment and the second half strolling the Princeton campus. Naturally, it’s such an intimate thing letting someone into your home to photograph so we were a bit nervous. That said, from the moment Emily came into our space, she made us feel so comfortable and the pictures reflect that. Our wedding day was no different as she (and Ryan) made us, our families, and guests feel completely at home. Simply put, Emily is the best. She’s the picture of professionalism, she’s absolutely a blast to work with, and the pictures you receive are genuinely magazine quality.

Planned wedding in Philadelphia from Florida

One of the best things that made our wedding day PERFECT- was Emily Wren Photography and her team. We had a detailed itinerary of where and what we had to do, that was exactly what WE wanted to do as a couple. She made everything work out perfectly and was such a calming presence to have by my side. I put all my faith in Emily as I did not have to worry about missing anything. We were all able to be in the moment which let every single person in our wedding party be able to enjoy our day - instead of coordinating each bridesmaid's jobs to remember to check off throughout the night. I would recommend Emily to another bride or couple in a heartbeat as I know I will be doing for my 3 brothers who are next in line. Living in Florida while coordinating a Philadelphia wedding was almost do I say...too easy? Being able to jump on a call with her to talk through the things that we wanted was able to help alleviate any stress or details that might get lost through emails/texts. They were all so accommodating of our work schedules and nailed every detail that we discussed over ONLY texts, emails, and phone calls down perfectly - Having never met her in person! EMILY, you are the best!!!

The Best vendor decision we made!

We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with Emily and her team on our wedding day. From our first call, to our last interactions, Emily was a pleasure to work with and is so detailed and organized. We would not have been able to put together our timeline for the day without her assistance. Her work speaks for itself and it's evident she takes pride in her work. Every shot perfectly captured the emotions we felt on our wedding day. We especially enjoyed how she captured creative shots, and candids of our families. Every picture looks like they could be published in a magazine. We will cherish these memories forever. We cannot recommend Emily and her team enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
