I'm not sure how to properly put into words what a great decision it was to hire Emma for our April 2023 wedding. If you've looked at her work, you already know it's stunning, so I'll speak more more to some of the things you can't see from her portfolio. We did an engagement session with her prior to our wedding, and it was immediately clear we'd made the right choice. Emma is sweet, personable, and lovely to be around - we genuinely enjoyed our 2 hour engagement shoot and had a blast because she is great at putting people at ease (even if you're camera-shy). She directed us just enough so that we'd know what to do (and wouldn't look awkward), but our photos didn't turn out looking like they were super posed or staged, which I loved. I also appreciated that she sent a super detailed (around 80 pages I believe) guide ahead of our wedding and engagement shoot with advice on what to wear, how to prepare for our engagement/wedding photos, planning advice, etc. For our wedding, she took the time to meet with my now-husband and I around 3 months out to ensure she had all of the details. (Which honestly felt more like we were grabbing coffee with a friend.) She created an incredibly thorough timeline (working around our desire to not have a first look) to ensure we'd have plenty of time on our wedding day to get the photos we wanted. On our wedding day, she was such a calming presence. The area of our venue where we wanted to do the father/daughter first look was unavailable due to renovations (despite having been told otherwise by the venue) and Emma quickly came up with a new location that was equally as beautiful. When my mom requested an extra portrait with extended family that wasn't originally on our list, she was so gracious and made it happen. All of that and we are, of course, also just OBSESSED with our photos - they are stunning. Emma did an incredible job capturing the happy tears, laughter, dancing, joy, and sheer emotion of our day. My husband and I have already agreed that when we eventually need family portraits, Emma will be the first and only person we call. :)

I'm over the moon, ecstatic, still on cloud nine that I found Emma as my wedding photographer! I can't tell enough people how great she was to work with and how much we loved her. She made things seem so easy and smooth. My husband and I had never done professional photos in the past and she made us feel like total models. She helped with poses, guided on where to look, where to hold, everything. Anytime I'm in the Bradenton/Tampa area, Emma will always be our photographer. Hands down the best!

If you choose Emma for your photographer, you will absolutely never regret it. I have been a wedding photographer for 13yrs so was very picky who I wanted to photograph my special wedding day. Emma and her husband are a fabulous team, professional, creative and absolutely understand how to capture the perfect beauty of your forever memories! I couldn't recommend ECC enough! :) Thank you Emma and Cody! XO

Emma was an amazing photographer for our Engagement session and for our Wedding. She makes the sessions fun, takes time to get to know her couples and pays attention to details when taking pictures. I would highly recommend to use her for your Wedding and/or Engagement pictures.

Emma is truly a dream. My now husband and I planned our wedding in Tampa while living in the Washington, DC area. We are so grateful to have stumbled upon her work. She is highly responsive, personable, professional, and truly loves the craft. She went the extra mile (several) to shoot our dream engagement pictures in DC. As the wedding approached, she worked closely with other vendors and created the core of our wedding timeline. Even when we ran behind schedule and other vendors went off script, she found ways to capture key moments and now lifelong memories. We have been so blessed by her and her husband, Cody. We cannot wait for new opportunities to work together again.

Emma made our wedding day a huge success. I reached out to her only a couple months before the big day and she was all in. She helped me through every step and was so kind the entire time. She was a dream on our wedding day, she captured the most intimate and special moments of our life as husband and wife. She is flexible, she is kind, she is TALENTED. Your photos will make you feel like a bridal/GQ mag models.... I don’t think I’ve ever looked that beautiful in a photograph- she just knows the right looks and poses. This should be the easiest decision you make, Emma is simply the best, you will be so grateful you choose her.

Emma is the photographer you want to have at your wedding or any event because she is a magician at photography. She has a passion and loves photography and it shows. We hired Emma for our wedding and the pictures were beyond what I imagined, the day of our wedding rained all day and it was very cloudy and dark. Emma made the pictures look AMAZING! You couldn’t even tell it rained. Absolutely in love with her work. She went above and beyond on every aspect from communication, professionalism, quality of pictures, personality, all of it. We are very happy.

We have loved every part of working with Emma through the Engagement photo set in 2019 to our small Rona wedding last December 2020.

She is amazing at making these photo shoots comfortable and enjoyable bringing out these awesome photos.

Super excited to work with her again this December for a larger destination wedding party!

Emma is amazing! She knows how to tell a story with the photos. She has a great eye and is able to capture awesome photos. Emma is the only professional I trust to take photos for my family.

Emma did our engagement and wedding photos and she was everything we needed and more. We continue to get compliments on them to this day. She’s also very capable of taking control of a situation to get her job done, while remaining fun and positive. She will get the absolute best shots because everyone will want to listen to her.

Emma is also a person of excellent character, meaning she will charge what she believes is right, no more no less. She’ll arrive early and complete her job. She’ll be honest and respectful of your needs, and she’ll nail your expectations!

I recommend Emma highly to anyone for any and all your photography needs!
