Emma was the best decision I made for my wedding!

Emma, also known as The Bold Americana, was easily the best decision I could have made in regards to my wedding. From the first time I met her, I KNEW she was the perfect choice to capture the best day of my life and I turned out to be 100% RIGHT! She was so easy to work with, always going above and beyond to make me feel at ease, she settles wedding jitters and makes you laugh and really gets to know you...you aren't just one of many with her. You mean something and it shows! Aside from wanting her to be a lifelong friend of mine now (which tells you everything about her personality and the lovely person that she is) I also cannot say enough wonderful things about her work. On a cold December day, she took a bazillion photos and every single one came out GOLD. They are absolutely the most beautiful photos I've ever seen in my life, and I will always cherish them. She worked so hard yet you'd never know if she was ever stressed or tired or cold (although she totally had to be), she was too busy making us laugh and capturing us all perfectly! Everyone that met her at the wedding fell in love with her like I did, and I've received non-stop compliments on my photos. Seriously, if you haven't hired her yet, DO IT NOW. It's the best choice you'll make, I promise.

Emma is absolutely phenomenal. She took our engagement pictures and will be taking our pictures on the big day!! I can't say enough good things about Emma and the business that she runs. She made the whole experience so enjoyable. First of all, she came to Nashville for the shoot which made it so special for us. She was cracking jokes and being goofy the entire time which made us feel SO comfortable. What made Emma stand out to us was the way in which she captures the moments. Nothing felt fake or posed because she just wanted us to be us. Each picture is genuine and I absolutely love that. We spent a few hours galavanting around Nashville, and my fiancee and I had the best time.

To top it all off, Emma had our pictures sent to us SO quickly. She sent us previews of a handful, and sent the rest shortly after.

I am so thankful for Emma and the moments she has already captured. I can't wait for October!

Emma was nothing short of amazing! From the minute we met her we knew she was a perfect fit because she really got to know us as a couple. Our first scheduled shoot was rained out and she was flexible and made sure to get us in at the earliest possible date that we had open. Our couples photos are something that we will cherish forever. Not choosing the right photographer can make or break a shoot - and you want it to be perfect when you’re spending money. Emma is worth everything and more, we can never thank her enough!

We had a down pour of rain for our outdoor wedding, and Emma handled it so well. The photos turned out stunning. Would recommend without hesitation.

Emma has an awesome energy that she brings to the table when working her magic behind the lens. We not only loved our photos, but had so much fun at the shoot working with her! The smiles are real all around in her photos! Thanks again for the awesome memories!

Emma is nothing short of amazing! She makes it a point to meet with you beforehand to get to know you as a couple. We spent at least an hour effortlessly chatting at a nearby coffee shop a week before working with Emma. During the shoot, she did anything in her power to make sure we were comfortable in front of the camera. Emma makes sure to catch all of the sweet moments in between and those cute, little quirks that you do as a couple but don’t realize, yes, those too! You seriously cannot go wrong with Emma.

Emma is an absolutely amazing person and photographer! Her personality shines through in all of her photos and she pours her all of her energy into her images. Not only is she technically proficient, she also really cares about the people she is shooting. She works incredibly hard to make her photos something you'll want to look at for the rest of your life. I can't recommend her enough!
