  A Literal Dream

  Emily and Shea are the dream team. Meeting with photographers to decide who will capture your big day is such an important and critical moment and Em made the decision a no-brainer. She's the most organic, genuine, HIGHLY CREATIVE, and SKILLED professional ever. She treated every idea, detail, and thought I had as if it equally meant as much to her and we felt comfortable from the SECOND we jumped on a call. Em and her team create magic - our photos feel like we're reliving the moment and you can feel the literal emotion in every shot. She's the perfect demeanor of kind, caring, and a BOSS who's in control and ON TOP of things. We love, love, love Em and Shea and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! Her creative is SO unique - you can't replicate it and you'll be so thrilled with the experience, execution, and delivery. Em and Shea - we can't thank you enough.

  Hire Emily!

  I fell in love with Emily from her wonderful work, but the moment I got on the phone with her I knew she would be photographing our wedding. She was amazing to work with, on top of her talent, she makes you feel comfortable around her, like you want to continue to hang out after the photos are done. We can’t thank her and Shea enough for capturing candid, timeless moments from our special day that we will cherish forever.

  Absolute magic

  A million thank yous to Emily & Shea for photographing our wedding. Not only were they kind and professional, they made us feel so comfortable.
  Emily was the first vendor we chose for our wedding. I had been obsessing over her photos, dreaming that one day, she would photograph my own. It was the best decision we made. These pictures make my heart so happy, it could pop! You both captured every moment, all the love, every laugh and tear .. just BRAVO!
  We cannot recommend Emily and Shea enough! Do yourself a favor and book them, you’ll end up with photos that spark enough sentiment to last a lifetime.

  Book. This. Woman.

  Are you looking for beautiful, honest, genuine, and heartfelt photographs, not just of the big, obvious, posed moments of your day, but also the gentle, quiet, in-between ones? Do you want photographs that are more than cheesin' for Grandma (though there's nothing wrong with that), but also straight-up beautiful pieces of art? How about a photographer who is easygoing but still totally on top of it? And someone kind, funny, goofy, and (probably most importantly) able to put you at ease despite all of your fears about looking terrible in photos? Then: Book. This. Woman.
  
  Truly, though, Emily is crazy talented and a dream to work with. We booked her over a year before our wedding (she was our second vendor after the venue) because we knew we had to work with her! As someone who loves fashion, fashion photography, and secretly wants to look like a damn model on her wedding day, I knew Emily's background in fashion photography would shine in our eventual photographs. That, plus her ability to capture the feel of a particular moment, and her attention to color, tone, composition, and (for lack of a better term) artsyness -- it was an easy choice for us.
  
  Unsurprisingly, Emily was able to make us look like rockstars in our engagement photos, even though we are actually two awkward turtles. And, after our wedding was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic, she was unbelievably kind and flexible, willing to move our date a full year out from the original date without any issues. I know that when our wedding finally arrives (someday, maybe, fingers crossed) she will capture all of it in a way that allows us to relive it and share it with our future family. We can't wait to work with this woman more, and we can't recommend her enough!

  True Artist who Thrives in her Craft

  My (now) husband and I met Emily at a friend's wedding a few years ago. After chatting with her there for a few minutes, we realized that she wasn't just a cool wedding guest we wanted to befriend, she was the photographer. We watched her and noticed that her charming nature and quickness to laugh allowed her to float amongst the party fluently. After seeing the photos from that wedding, we realized that her intimacy with the wedding party and guests translated clearly to her photos. It was as if the ease at which she moved throughout the party allowed her to permeate to a different level of the wedding - people didn't freeze up as they might in front of other cameras - in fact, it was the opposite. While we weren't surprised when the photos from that wedding were gorgeous, we found ourselves wondering how she made it look so effortless. Artistic, intimate, dynamic, romantic photos were produced.. all without disrupting natural and organic moments. When my boyfriend and I were engaged a few years later, we both knew exactly whose camera we wanted to be behind.
  
  When it was our turn to experience Emily first hand, we were delighted that our expectations were exceeded. I feel shy behind a camera, so Emily's banter and genuine joy made it easy to forget we were being photographed. We simply enjoyed being in her company, which allowed my fiance and I to let loose and have a good time. Emily took the time to get to know us long before our wedding date, so when the day came around we had no worries. Emily had every detail worked out - from knowing who we are and what moments we valued, to what minute we wanted family photos done and who would be in each one. She was totally in tune with us added much in the way of joy to our day.
  
  I want to make very clear that Emily's ease does not detract from her ability to command a group when trying to get a particular shot. She has a wonderful confidence. (So yes, your loud, drunk aunt will listen to Emily when it comes time to take family photos.) She's incredibly organized and provided a wonderful sense of assurance before, during, and after the wedding. And though I hope what I've written above would not be interpreted this way I will also spell out - Emily's ease among other guests is not attention seeking or deterring from the wedding or event. She is just somehow perfectly in sync with the wedding, yet completely and totally focused on her craft at the same time.
  
  I realize I've said barely anything about the photos themselves.. but I mean.. just LOOK at them! They speak for themselves. Long story not short - Emily is the total package. She is an artist who absolutely thrives in all aspects of her craft. Hire her. She is the best investment we made for our wedding, and she will be our family photographer (and hopefully friend) for life!

  Hire Emily Immediately!

  Hire Emily immediately for all your photography needs -- not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but also she makes you feel like you've been friends with her forever, which helps a ton for those of us who aren't super comfortable in front of the camera. We heard of her through our wedding planner (Tiffany of Simply Breathe Events), and we are so grateful to have found her. Emily's photography style fit our vision perfectly -- when we saw her website, we knew right away that she was who we wanted to capture our wedding day. We crossed our fingers in hopes she was available -- we quickly planned our wedding in three months, and we felt so lucky that she had the date open. She's incredibly responsive, friendly, and detailed in her communications. We also had a great time chatting with her on the phone throughout the process. On the day of, we had a ton of fun capturing shots and just generally hanging out -- it cannot be understated that Emily's presence really lifted the day, and our photos show genuine happiness and lots of laughter because she made us feel like ourselves. To top it all off, we received our photos so quickly after the wedding! Every photo was so well composed, and many were so playful in capturing details and faces. She captured us not only looking our best, but as our true selves. I can go on and on -- we can't be more effusive about Emily. Thank you for everything, Em!!

  More than a Photographer

  Emily was originally hired for our 03/28/2020 Wedding. Because of COVID, this didn't happen. Emily has been so supportive and understand during all of the scheduling, rescheduling, or and more rescheduling. As a one-woman show, her attentiveness and responsiveness is just unmatched. Emily has been more than just our photographer, she has helped come up with new venues, been our tour guide, and pep talked us when we needed it. You will not be disappointed with Emily!

  Beautiful, not-posed photos!

  When we were looking for a photographer, it was very important to us that we would have timeless, non-posed, swap out the couple and insert another photos. She was one of the first vendors we booked (almost two years in advance!!) and I'm so thankful we went with her. I can't say enough wonderful things about Emily. She was so relaxed, goofy, and just overall easy to be around. She made sure to capture all of the moments of our day without directly asking us to pose here, pose there, adjust your angle, etc. When we look back through our album, we have a perfect story to remember the day. Em, you're the best.

  The perfect photographer and person to have around in all the chaos

  I can not say enough good things about Emily! She photographed my engagement, mehendi night and wedding and was the easiest, kindest, and most fun person to work with! Even as we were running behind schedule and my getting ready room was in chaos, Emily stayed focused and remained a calming presence throughout the day. At the wedding itself I had several family comment on how they would be talking, or having an emotional moment, and not realize until after that she was there capturing it. We haven’t gotten our wedding photos yet but our engagement photos were incredible and I am positive our wedding photos will be just the same. In several of the photos that friends and family took, you can see Emily and her assistant for the day Paula on the ground, standing on their tippy toes, or crouching into angles to get the perfect photos. When we were too late to use our original first look location, she worked with our coordinator and found us another equally amazing one that wouldn’t have me walking through all the guests. Throughout the day, I don’t remember her being around at all but it’s clear from the non-professional photos, she was EVERYWHERE.
  
  I don’t think I realized just how much time I would spend with the photographer on my wedding day and now that I do, I am so so glad that I picked Emily. Me and my husband really could not have made a better choice.

  Incredible!

  Emily was the only vendor that I knew I wanted once I had gotten engaged- I would have booked her 2 years in advance if I had a venue/date. Emily has a magical way of making everyone feel comfortable and it shows in every picture. She has the most incredible eye for pictures and catches the most delicate and meaningful pieces of the day. Emily captured so many beautiful moments of our day that truly make me feel like I am reliving the day.

  A wonderful experience, and an amazing result!

  It was a pleasure to work with Emily for a photo shoot with our then-three-week old son, and my wife and I couldn’t be happier with the results. We were particularly drawn to Emily’s use of soft light in her portfolio, and she took the most wonderful photos of our newborn during our late-morning shoot. Emily’s kind and good-natured personality shone through the moment she arrived for the shoot, and she helped us feel completely at ease to capture all of the fun, natural moments with our son. Emily is incredibly talented, and she had plenty of subtle, creative suggestions during the shoot regarding angles and placement to capture the light and overall happiness of the day in her photos. We fully and highly recommend working with Emily!

  Speechless

  I can’t even put to words how amazing Emily was. She is more than a vendor, she is a support person and friend on a day when you need it the most. She has a personality that lights up a room and brings so much added joy to the day. Emily’s sweet personally and ability to somehow capture all of the love in the room makes sets her out among so many wedding photographers. I will cherish her photos of our day.

  Best Photographer Ever

  “Hiring Emily Gude was the second best choice about our wedding.. after marrying you”- actual quote from my husband. Emily’s work speaks for itself. She captured our wedding day so creatively and beautifully. Above her work being incredible, having Emily there on our wedding day was so great. She is so kind, fun, and hilarious. Having her around was like having an old friend at our wedding. In fact, by the end of our event, she felt more like a friend than a vendor. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

  We can't say enough about how great Emily was on our wedding day! Something we didn't consider beforehand was how much time you end up spending with your photographer - - luckily for us, Emily has amazing energy and was such a calming, reassuring presence when it looked like the day was going to rain. Our entire bridal party raved about her enthusiasm - - her love for photography was infectious and it didn't feel like she was working, but instead part of the group. The best thing about Emily is that she creates natural and candid shots that bring real emotion out of people and don't feel forced. We can't wait to see our proofs and can't recommend Emily Gude and her staff enough!!

  This girl is amazing. She is super professional, always answered emails, very friendly, & hilarious. She put us at ease & captured exactly who we are as a couple. Her style is very unique. She was on time to the venue & walked us through it all. She helped us create a timeline & worked very well with our DJ to make sure everyone was where they needed to be. I would recommend her to anyone; she is worth it. And definitely take advantage of the engagement photo shoots!

  Emily was the perfect choice for my wedding day! She is kind, warm, and fantastic at what she does. The photos are works of art. She captures beautiful little moments that other photographers overlook. You may not get as many photographs from your day as other photographers offer (roughly 800), but do you really need 200 photos of you getting ready or 300 blurry photos on the dance floor?! Quality over quantity, any day. I recommend Emily at every opportunity I get!

  For this review, photos will speak 1000 words. Emily is extremely outgoing, professional, has great time management, and really puts you at ease. My husband and I were never big on getting our photos taken, especially for lifestyle professional photos (It can be so awkward taking professio photos), but Emily really made it easy for us to look natural and less posed. She has an amazing eye for backgrounds, lights, and lines. She did both of our engagement and wedding photography and we loved everything! She had the exact esthetic I was looking for. Emily also had an assistant with her who was also amazing. To me, the photographer was a very important part of our wedding and Emily delivered.

  I can't say enough wonderful things about Emily! Coming from the bride who planned her entire wedding in a day, choosing Emily was one of the easiest decisions I made. Her photos on Instagram piqued my interest; I loved how creative, warm, & artistic her work was, but also fun and real. We met to discuss before booking, over a beer, and we had a couple of follow-up meetings together over coffee Downtown to discuss what to expect as our wedding day approached. Emily even came to our rehearsal (even in the middle of a monsoon) to show the wedding party how to stand, where to look, how to place their hands, etc. in preparation for the Big Day.
  
  When it came to the wedding day itself, we hardly even noticed she was there. Emily (and her assistant, Caitlin) were truly a pleasure. They blended right in to our wedding celebration, dancing and laughing with all of our guests, while still snapping the most beautiful photos. We just got our pictures back earlier this week, and I couldn't be happier. Literally obsessed with them. BOOK EMILY!!!! You will be so glad you did.

  We couldn’t have picked a more perfect photographer for our wedding. Emily has a joyful personality, great energy, and an eye to make an ordinary scene into a beautiful photo opportunity. From the start, she took the time to get to know us as a couple and learn what was important to us for the wedding day. I remember how nervous I got before going to the church, and she helped me through all of the emotions. When we received the photos, we were thrilled with how she captured the energy and emotion of the day. Her professionalism, charm, and overall genuine desire to make our wedding day perfect shone through in every interaction we had with her. Emily is amazing and we highly recommend her for wedding photography or any other occasion – you will be so happy with your experience.

  Emily! I don't have the words to describe how much we loved working with Em, from the moment I went out to coffee to meet her, through our engagement photos, and our wedding. Emily is not only incredible at her craft, producing pictures that literally take your breath away, she will also become one of your favorite wedding guests -- guaranteed.
  
  She released a couple of pictures from the day, and you can tell just how much love and care she puts into each image, making sure she is telling your story exactly as you would want it told.
  
  We were very glad we also booked an engagement shoot with her, as it gave us both the opportunity to get comfortable with Emily and by the time the wedding came along, we knew exactly what to expect. We even joked with her about some of her signature "Emily Gude" shots.
  
  I can't wait to get the rest of my pictures!

  Emily is a star!!! If you are considering her at all, just do it, you will be so happy. She is fantastic at getting to know the couple and using her art to tell their story. I'm truly blown away with every photo I've seen from our wedding. She is very professional and is confident at what she does. She's able to easily round up her photo subjects to create the best picture. She's got an artists eye, which is becoming less and less common nowadays.
  
  Emily couldn't be a more kind person, and she will work with you to make your wishes come true. Amidst day-of wedding stress from our venue owners, Emily was able to swoop in and make things go smoothly for us and make things stress-free, and for that I am eternally grateful. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so.

  Emily was amazing! She kept us smiling, having fun and feeling the magic all day and night. Couldn't recommend a more fun and adventurous photographer :)

  If you're reading this, you already know Emilys work speaks for itself so there is no reason for me to tell you how talented and amazing she is as a photographer...but I will anyway!
  
  Emily has this incredible eye for those soft, unspoken moments. The quiet beauty of the in-betweens and forgotten spaces that you never think to look. She can capture the intimacy, romance, joy and emotion of a moment in the second it takes to occur and within that fleeting second before it goes away. She can capture the light and the darkness and balance it perfectly to create images that speak to you and invoke a feeling of a moment, rather than just a two dimensional capture.
  
  What is truly exceptional about Emily, however, is how she can capture the beauty and flawlessly execute her talent while continually being the kindest, warmest, most welcoming soul. I have no doubt that a client who decides to work with Emily will feel like they are having their special day captured by an old friend. Her presence is soothing and stable which is such a scarcity on what can be such a chaotic day. She is one of those people you meet and immediately want to tell your life story to. Which makes communicating your love story and your wedding day through her images so seamless. If you're looking for someone who will capture your day and make you feel happy, comfortable and in love (all things you should feel on your wedding day) you'll want to hire Emily, hands down.
