As a May 2026 bride I just have to say how truly special and magical our photos are. From the engagement shoot to our wedding day Emma made us feel so confident and blessed to have so many amazing photos to look back on and cherish forever. No need to look any further, your decision is made, Emma is the one to photograph your big day!! And I know you will be just as happy as we are with memories to last a lifetime!

The best!!

We couldn't have been happier with Emma and her team along the way! We got our engagement photos back so quickly and we used her for our rehearsal dinner/welcome party and wedding too. She goes above and beyond with the final results and we are so thankful that she captured the most important moments for us in this way. She is extremely organized and works well with all of the vendors to ensure the timeline is perfect, which was very important to us. They made us feel comfortable in all of our sessions with them and we can't recommend them enough! Thank you, Emma!!

Engagement Session

Emma was wonderful! We really enjoyed our experience taking engagement photos. She made us feel comfortable, and gave us specific instructions when came to certain poses.
I loved how she would show us photos throughout the session and was very complimentary. It was a fun evening, and the perfect way to kick off our engagement.
She also provided helpful knowledge when it came to venues and other vendors in the wedding industry. This was so nice to hear since we had just started the planning process.
Finally the turnaround time was incredible! We were able to share our perfect photos right away! Looking forward to working with Emma again soon.

The perfect proposal

Emma helped me plan the dream proposal for my fiancé. She was very professional, communicative, and had so much knowledge of the area! I thought it would be difficult to find the perfect location in a state I’ve only been to once. She made everything so much easier. She’s the best and I HIGHLY recommend her!

Newborn Shoot

Emma is the best! When we found out we were pregnant I knew I wanted her to take either newborn or maternity photos. She had already captured our engagement photos and they were AMAZING! Our newborn shoot was no different. She was so accommodating and we were able to go with the flow with our newborn. She had ideas that I didn't even think of and I am so happy I let her take the lead. I will cherish these photos as my baby grows up and I would highly recommend Emma!

Captured our proposal perfectly! Incredible work & highly recommend

Emma Lili was the most perfect photographer to capture our special moment! My fiancé had her take photos during our proposal on a sailboat in Charleston and she did such an incredible job! It took a lot of skill and experience and she did it flawlessly while also bringing such positive energy to the experience. We were blown away at the photos and will cherish them forever! My fiancé also had a great experience with communicating and planning the moment with her before hand. Highly recommend!

Relive every moment and the ones you did not see thru the eyes of Emma Lili

From our first conversation, I knew Emma was the perfect match to capture my daughter's wedding. Her enthusiasm and attention to detail gave me confidence in her abilities. Emma's portfolio showcased her talent, and her personality made the planning process enjoyable. I felt reassured that she would understand our vision and bring it to life. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better choice for our special day. Emma strives to capture the candid moments. She and her team nailed every aspect of what she said they would do. She captured every moment and even the side-eye my son-in-law gave when the officiant asked if anyone opposed the marriage. The picture is hilarious. Emma maximized our time to the fullest, so we were able to enjoy the day without feeling like we were constantly taking pictures. Emma and the team were always present, capturing natural moments that we will forever be grateful for. It has been five months since the wedding, and I constantly get feedback from my guests on the amazing job Emma and the team did. We had to execute the rain plan the morning of the wedding, and the ceremony was under a tent on the waterfront. I almost forgot it was tented because she edited out the tent in the pictures. We never discussed it; she just did it.

We also utilized Emma for our videography.She was the only professional I found who delivered a teaser video, a 4-5 min video, and a full movie 45 min long of all the highlights.I cry tears of joy every time we watch them.The editing is over the top.Book her for the photography and video! Did I mention she also gifted the bride and groom an album of some of their selected photos?

I cannot put into words how happy we all are with the services Emma and her team provided. If I ever have the chance to host another wedding, Emma Lili is hired! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Emma so much!

Wedding Photographer in Charleston

Emma was so incredible day of our wedding! We had storms the morning of and she was flexible in the meeting location for both me and my husband. She was not only presented herself professionally, but she was personable and fun and helped us feel more relaxed in front of the camera. She captured our special day with portraits, candids, family photos, and friend groups. The photos were both in color and black/white. The turn around time from the event to receiving our photos was pretty quick!

Amazing experience with Emma!!

Emma photographed our wedding at Wild Dunes last June and exceeded our expectations. Not only were our photos absolutely beautiful, but Emma helped make our wedding planning process & wedding day a positive & seamless experience. Emma and her 2nd shooter brought a fun energy to our big day, and helped make us feel comfortable amongst all of the nerves. She couldn't have captured our day any better, and we are so grateful to have these beautiful, timeless photos for our lifetime. It is clear that Emma is exceptionally skilled in photography, and we cannot recommend her enough!!

Must have photographer!!

My wedding was in February 2022 and we had Emma as our photographer. She was such a perfect fit for us! We are outgoing people but once we are stuck posing for pictures, my husband and I are definitely awkward and uncomfortable. Emma made sure to call for check ins to great every detail perfect. One we met her on our wedding day, it was so much better than I expected! She was so personal but professional all at the same time. We had a mishap with or wedding transportation but she managed to move things around and fit everything in! I use every chance I can get to share our wedding photos. My only regrets were not getting extended hours to photo our exit and have more candid shots and then not getting the videography as part of our package. I make sure to recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer! I can’t wait to travel back to Charleston because I’d love to have her do more photos for our family!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
