Emily did our engagement and wedding photos, and we are absolutely floored with the results. For our engagement shoot, she had plenty of location recommendations for the time of year (fall) and had beautiful examples so we had an idea of what to expect before showing up. With it being the first time we were in front of a camera, Emily made it so much fun and stress free! Everything felt so natural with her guidance throughout the shoot!
We had two shooters for the wedding day, Bridgid and Emily. On what could be an overwhelming day, they kept the photos fun and light. We had suggested a spot we love on the lakefront where Emily hadn't shot before. She took the time to make a trip the week prior to figure out all the best angles and make sure it would be perfect for our day. It ended up being everything we imagined! She also gets all the extra points for the amount of people walking on the path behind us that they took shots around and edited out for our final photos.

They professionally wrangled our wedding party and family to get all our requested shots in an efficient manner. And made sure to capture our must-have shots. Cannot say enough good things about Emily and Bridgid as people, and their photo quality is unmatched! Best decision we made in our wedding planning process!!

Emily is incredible. My wife and I truly loved working with her on both a proposal session and wedding ceremony/reception photos. She made us so comfortable, worked well with other vendors, was highly organized and communicative and flexible, and listened to us so carefully about the vibe we wanted and executed it perfectly. She knows Chicago so well and has a great eye for excellent photo spots. There literally aren't enough nice things we can say about her!

Hiring Emily for our engagement and wedding weekend was the BEST decision!! We had a three-day Indian / Western fusion wedding, and Emily did an incredible job covering all the different events, venues, attire, and colors. Ahead of the wedding, Emily was highly responsive and provided guidance on our photo locations. During the weekend, Emily was such a JOY to be around, keeping up with the energy of our wedding party and families. She was highly flexible during the weekend while keeping to our schedule. She came early to capture all the details and rolled with the punches when we changed the location of our photos last minute. The photo turnaround for our sneak peaks was unbelievable and all the photos are incredible – truly captured the happiness and joy we felt during the weekend!

Some finer points that are worth celebrating:
- We were very picky on selecting a photographer who could photograph and edit mixed race couples and families well: Emily provided many examples ahead of booking and delivered on our photos as well!!
- This was Emily’s first full-scale Indian wedding, and you would never be able to tell!! She captured all the right moments in the most beautiful way. In a traditional South Indian ceremony, there are many action shots and Emily’s ability to capture everything on the mandap blew me away.
- Unfortunately, Tyler was busy for our wedding weekend, but Emily selected the two best second shooters we could ask for – Corey Bienert for Saturday and Aaron Bean for Sunday. All three of them matched the fun yet calming personality and vibes of our family, friends, and overall day.

All in all, if we did it all over again, we would book Emily every time!
