Magical Memories Made

There aren't enough words to describe how remarkable it was working with Emma & the entire team at Emma Cleary Photo & Video. Going back to when we were exploring partners to work with for our wedding, I loved how collaborative Emma was - rather than just sharing a price list or list of services, she encouraged us to take a look at her portfolio, she shared pricing tiers, and offered time for an exploratory Zoom call. That call was actually quite pivotal -- we immediately felt like Emma and her team understood our vision, the role that photo & video would play day of and from a perpetual memory standpoint, and we know we had found a partner, not a vendor.

We contracted with Emma for our engagement shoot, day of photo and video, and Ryan was our remarkable photographer for it all. He was fun, engaging, brought out the best in us through friendly direction, and our photos turned our remarkable just by his encouraging us to be ourselves.

Day of, Ryan was by our side again, alongside Ana (2nd shooter) and Michael (videographer) and the three were the most well orchestrated trio. Nothing we asked for or suggested (photo idea wise) was off limits, and despite getting married on 12/31/25 - a rather cold day - they treated our wedding as if it was their personal Super Bowl.

Through all of this, Emma was never more than an email or call away. All proofs and deliverables were delivered EARLIER than scheduled, and could not have turned out better. Despite getting rounds of edits for video and whatnot, it was delivered beautifully the first go, and the photo gallery was so amazing -- not just because of the ease of downloading all proofs (with no watermarks), but reliving the magic through so many known photos - but also the photos of our guests. We were able to print out many photos of our guests and include them in thank you cards which was a nice, personal touch.

Truly, Emma and her team capture and create magic. And I will be telling anyone & everyone who has a need for photo services about Emma Cleary Photo -- they're THAT good!

Gorgeous wedding and engagement photos!

Emma Cleary Photo and Video were wonderful to work with for our wedding day and engagement photos. Communication was always quick and informative, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Anna and Massimo provided excellent guidance, giving us many helpful tips for different types of photos and how to pose. They were also very accommodating in capturing all the family photo combinations we wanted. The final photos are absolutely beautiful. they have an eye for detail and captured the day in such a thoughtful way. We are so happy with how the pictures turned out and would highly recommend Emma Cleary to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photography.

Amazing experience with the entire team!

From the start of wedding planning, we knew that photography and videography were going to be extremely important elements. The way your day is captured is so important not only for the ability to look back, but to make sure your personalities are captured well. When we found Emma Cleary Photo and Video we knew they were the clear choice based on the number of photos and videos we saw.
After our first call with Emma to go over our vision, we knew we had made the right choice. Then, when we met Massimo for our engagement shoot, we were absolutely certain it was the right move. He listened to what we wanted, he made it look like we were the only people on the ridge that day (we were not), he made it look like it was warm outside (it was not) and he even stayed a little longer to try and capture the super moon coming up from below us. He was wonderful to work with and that carried over to our wedding day.
Everything Massimo, Taras and Michael did on our wedding day the did with attention and intention. They did not overwhelm us or our guests but they captured each moment beautifully. Everyone we spoke to complimented them and their abilities and we had a few nice laughs together as well. Even as it felt like we were running out of time, Massimo kept us cool and calm.
The sneak peeks we’ve received are truly stunning and we cannot wait to get the rest of our photos and videos back!
THANK YOU to the team at Emma Cleary Photo and Video - we hope to capture many more important moments with your help and guidance!

Amazing Photo and Video

It was such a pleasure working with Emma Cleary photography and videography. From the start, Emma was great to communicate with and always responded very promptly. She was organized from the start and made planning easy. The crew really captured the day so beautifully and professionally and looking back on the photos and videos makes us so happy. We keep watching the videos over and over! The editing and attention to detail on all of their work is all at such an incredibly high level. The photographers (David, Dilmurad) and the videographer (Kamil) were so fun and easy on the day of the wedding, they knew exactly how to get the perfect shots in a way that didn’t interrupt the flow of the day while still capturing everything so well. When the Groomsmen didn’t know how to properly attach their boutonnieres, the cameraman stepped up to help out and show them how to do it! We were running a bit behind schedule on the Bride’s side during the day of the wedding, but the crew was patient with us and found plenty to take pictures of while we finished getting ready. Emma Cleary’s team were all such fun to work with and we are so thankful for the memories that they captured.

The best!!

Michael and Kamil were fantastic, and Linera was truly the best! From our first phone call to the big day, she was so organized, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side capturing every special moment.

Emma was amazing to work with. She is so kind, responsive, and detail-oriented. Thank you, Emma, for every call, for creating such a thoughtful timeline, and for putting together the most incredible team. You all made our day feel effortless and unforgettable!

Magical photography experience

We can’t say enough good things about Emma Cleary Photography — they are absolutely fantastic. From the very beginning, Emma herself was closely involved in the planning and organization process. She helped us create a detailed photo list and day-of itinerary, which was incredibly helpful in keeping everything on track. Emma was always responsive, thoughtful, and thorough in answering our questions.

Our wedding photographers, Gabriel and Michelle, were wonderful to work with. They are professional, kind, and patient. When a few unexpected mishaps happened during family photos (a spilled coffee on my husband’s tux and a minor fall for my mom), they remained calm and reassuring, and were very flexible in helping us still capture all the shots we wanted. Throughout the day and evening, they photographed every moment beautifully, all while being unobtrusive and respectful of the flow of events.

We were blown away when we saw our photos. Every image was stunning. The lighting, composition, and editing were all exceptional. The team at Emma Cleary Photography are true artists, and thanks to them, we have the most beautiful memories of our wedding day. We’ll be forever grateful and recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, caring, and professional photography team!

Amazing photos & Amazing team!

Emma Cleary’s team (Massimo, lead photographer, & Dimitri) is everything we wanted for our wedding photographers - professional, dedicated and, most importantly, they were able to capture the sweetest and most loving moments during our wedding. In addition, our wedding was on a summer afternoon with 90 degree heat and the team worked tiredlessly to get the most perfect shot they can. The quality of the final photos are so great and we honestly can’t stopped looking at them! Massimo, Dimitri and the entire Emma Cleary team really turned our most important day to the memory of a life time. Would recommend to any future couples - can’t go wrong with this team!!

Top notch perfection

Our team Gabriel, Michelle, and Michael were absolutely perfect. They were fun, professional, and absolute top notch at what they do. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera but they made us feel like naturals. They were exactly where we wanted them to be at each moment without even asking and they were so stealthy sometimes I forgot we were being photographed. Our day went so smoothly because of this team and I couldn’t be more grateful. We have received our previews and I am absolutely in love! I can’t wait to receive the whole album and the videos. Emma leading up to the day was so communicative and helpful, that I knew we’d have the best of the best showing up for our wedding. If you’re thinking about booking Emma Cleary photography.. DO IT.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
