About

Hey there! We are Emily and John McNiel, a wife-and-husband duo whose real-life love for each other allows us to passionately capture the love we see in others. We like to think of ourselves as two ordinary people in search of extraordinary love, and that's why we LOVE photographing weddings!! Knowing that each couple has a unique expression of love that is worthy of being celebrated in its own way, we approach each wedding as a new adventure. We use a lifestyle wedding approach, which we personally define as a blend of photojournalistic and fine art styles (basically, we love to add some fine art flair to the touching candid moments that are happening all around you on your wedding day). Our wedding collections are all-inclusive, with options for deluxe heirloom albums and specialty art products.

The best decision.

Emily and John made all our wedding day photo dreams come true. They are sweet and so fun to be around, and brought an incredibly calming presence to our day. They helped us establish a timeline and were flexible with changes. Most importantly...we are obsessed with the pictures they took and will cherish them forever!!

Genuine and easygoing photographers! Beautiful photos from this pair!

Emily and John are just incredible to work with! They are very relaxed and easygoing photographers.

I just love their instagram and their blog; they are two of the most genuine people. That was huge for my husband and me, as we are definitely not the most comfortable in front of a camera.

We had such a fun time during our engagement photo session, even though we had cold dreary weather. There are so many beautiful photos that came out of that afternoon!

On our wedding day, I never felt stressed about looking a certain way or doing an unnatural pose. Emily and John just capture the natural feelings and smiles that come out! We are so grateful that we chose Emily and John to document the biggest day of our lives. They were amazing to work with; everyone from the bridal party and our families cannot say enough good things about the two of them! I would definitely recommend this duo to any bride and groom in the area!

Emily did a great job helping us create natural poses that matched our personalities. She was relaxed and melded our ideas with hers to make a polished look!
We also thought the quality and artistic nature of the photo book in our package was top notch.
Emily is a great listener and saw what needed to be done to wrangle my family and wedding party. Her packages are of great value and you'll be very satisfied!

I worked with Emily recently on a styled shoot. She was amazing to work with. She was organized, enthusiastic, and kept everyone up to date leading up to the shoot, as well as afterwards when she got us all published on Wisconsin Bride's website. I highly recommend working with her as she truly loves what she does and produces beautiful images!
