Sara Sent on 08/26/2024Incredible artist
Emily Wren and her husband Gregg (Wren Films) are the ultimate power couple that you NEED capturing your wedding. We have been laughing and crying looking over the photos and videos in the very best way. It was an honor to have such a fun loving and energetic team capturing our special day. We had Emily, Gregg, Gabby, Nick, and Stan on photo/video for our wedding weekend, and the entire team are true professionals. The attention to detail is simply unparalleled. From adjusting the train of my dress to the perfect position, to micing my husband up for our private vows so we could record them but then physically giving us more space so the vows could feel private... Emily and her team know the precise moments when it's best that they disappear into the periphery versus when to get up close and personal with us to inject some humor into a moment with us. This sensitivity and awareness is key when photographing a wedding day and the team could not have executed their jobs more flawlessly. Stan did an incredible job with our film shots, Gabby was an absolute joy to work with at our rehearsal dinner, and Nick, clad with a miniature speaker on his belt loop, was on the money all day capturing the groomsmen and assisting as second shooter for the rest of the day. Emily, Gregg, and the team are not only true artists and professionals, but they are genuinely the most high quality humans and the exact type of people you want to surround you on the most important day of your life. We truly feel they are apart of our village now! It is a special privilege to share your wedding day with a couple who obviously loves each other so much because it uplifts the whole vibe of your day- trust me, hire them both!! Our only regret about hiring Emily Wren photography and Wren Films is that we don't have another event coming up in the near future. We're chomping at the bit for our next excuse to hire them again! -

Samantha Sent on 06/01/2025Planned wedding in Philadelphia from Florida
One of the best things that made our wedding day PERFECT- was Emily Wren Photography and her team. We had a detailed itinerary of where and what we had to do, that was exactly what WE wanted to do as a couple. She made everything work out perfectly and was such a calming presence to have by my side. I put all my faith in Emily as I did not have to worry about missing anything. We were all able to be in the moment which let every single person in our wedding party be able to enjoy our day - instead of coordinating each bridesmaid's jobs to remember to check off throughout the night. I would recommend Emily to another bride or couple in a heartbeat as I know I will be doing for my 3 brothers who are next in line. Living in Florida while coordinating a Philadelphia wedding was almost do I say...too easy? Being able to jump on a call with her to talk through the things that we wanted was able to help alleviate any stress or details that might get lost through emails/texts. They were all so accommodating of our work schedules and nailed every detail that we discussed over ONLY texts, emails, and phone calls down perfectly - Having never met her in person! EMILY, you are the best!!! -

Phyllis Sent on 03/28/2025The Best vendor decision we made!
We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with Emily and her team on our wedding day. From our first call, to our last interactions, Emily was a pleasure to work with and is so detailed and organized. We would not have been able to put together our timeline for the day without her assistance. Her work speaks for itself and it's evident she takes pride in her work. Every shot perfectly captured the emotions we felt on our wedding day. We especially enjoyed how she captured creative shots, and candids of our families. Every picture looks like they could be published in a magazine. We will cherish these memories forever. We cannot recommend Emily and her team enough. -

Lindsey Sent on 01/02/2025AMAZING experience!
We are beyond thrilled with our experience with Emily Wren Photography and cannot recommend them enough! From the very first moment we met Sarah at our engagement session, we were completely smitten with her. Her energy and demeanor are so genuine and authentic—it was clear right away that we had made the perfect choice. She immediately made us feel at ease and created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We instantly fell in love with her and that feeling only grew stronger as our wedding day approached.
Emily was an absolute dream to work with in the lead-up to our big day. She was such a fantastic communicator, always responsive and thoughtful in her approach and has a keen eye for attention to detail. We felt so supported and informed throughout the entire planning process and she really helped us feel confident in the decisions we were making.
On our wedding day, Sarah was like spending time with a best friend. She fit right in and was one of us. Her kindness, fun-loving spirit and conscientious attention to detail made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. She was mindful of every moment, capturing all the beautiful shots without us even noticing and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. Sarah knew the special relationship Laura (the bride) had with her late grandfather and the mutual love they shared for the moon. As a surprise, Sarah captured the moon on our wedding night and that’s a photo Laura holds so close to her heart. Caroline was a perfect complement to Sarah, bringing her own warmth and energy to the day. She was just as present and comfortable to be with, making the entire photography experience seamless. The two of them together were a dream team and we couldn't have asked for a better duo to capture our special day.
We truly felt so lucky to have Sarah, Caroline and Emily by our side. Their professionalism, care and enthusiasm made the photography aspect of our wedding day so easy and stress-free. We honestly want to shout our love and gratitude for them from the rooftops. They captured our day beautifully and we will forever cherish the memories they helped us create. -

Moira Sent on 12/30/2024A dream vendor to work with!!
Emily and her husband, Gregg, (Wren Films) completely transformed our Wedding day!! They were both absolutely magnificent to work with and the photos are beyond our wildest dreams! They are truly masters of their craft. I have had countless people reach out to me asking who our photographer was!! Emily's ability to read the scene and scenery, and everything going on around it is astonishing. We are so lucky to have had her for our wedding day. The moment Emily and Gregg showed up, my husband and I, along with both bridal parties felt so comfortable! They were there for every big and every little special moment, capturing the authenticity of each moment. Looking at our photos now, you can truly see all the emotion in every photo. From the people in the middle, to those in the background, every detail was captured and knowing the day always flew by, having these memories captured so stunningly and perfectly is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Emily, Gregg, and the team are not only true artists and professionals, but they are genuinely the most high quality humans and the exact type of people you want to surround you on the most important day of your life. We were so blessed and SO lucky to work with Emily, Gregg, and their entire spectacular team!!! -

Lizzie Sent on 12/23/2023Easy Choice
Finding and choosing Emily Wren is the best decision we made for our wedding. Not only was Emily one of the kindest and easiest people to work with, but she also captured memories of our wedding that will last long beyond the day itself. Emily and her team were such a fun presence the entire day of our wedding -- We received so many compliments on our photographer/videographer team from our guests and other vendors. Emily and Gregg were the perfect blend of professional and creating a personalized experience that made us feel like old friends. Nick, our second shooter, was cracking us (and our guests) up all night long, and we were honored to have a beautiful married couple share our day with us. If you would like pictures that truly capture the love you have for your partner, look no further. All of our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined and the emotion that Emily, Gregg and her team were able to capture is absolutely breath taking. 11/10 experience and final products. -

Julianne Sent on 07/26/2023Emily Wren Photography
Having the opportunity to work with Emily & Nick to photograph our wedding was the most incredible experience and completely exceeded my expectations. Emily is incredibly organized, communicative, thorough, and an overall expert at her craft. She is a pleasure to work with from start to finish.
And Nick?! What. A. Gem. Emily and Nick are highly professional, kind, and the absolute best duo to be hanging with before /during your wedding.
Emily adds such beautiful details & surprises to her work. I couldn’t believe my eyes when she sent me all of the edited photos (in about a month nonetheless!). She & Nick captured so much love and joy. The photos are light, airy, romantic, and look completely authentic / candid.
While planning the wedding, a dear friend and newborn photographer herself, emphasized the importance of prioritizing your photographer when researching/budgeting for vendors. Best. Advice. Ever. We will cherish these photos forever! 💞 -

Christina Sent on 07/26/2023Unbelievably talented and kind
Hiring Emily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day, and we're eternally grateful for the beautiful and emotional photos she captured of us and our guests. Our friends and family can't stop raving about how kind, organized, and caring she and her team were; she made everyone feel comfortable (not posed or rushed) in front of the camera and kept the day moving with ease.
Not to mention, leading up to the wedding, Emily organized multiple meetings to iron out all the details, ensuring our timeline was custom to how we wanted the day to flow. When we had rain on our wedding day, she quickly pivoted and offered new solutions and locations to shoot, all while sticking to the timeline and limiting any stress. Save yourself some time and hire Emily as soon as you possibly can. She's a true artist whose caring nature exudes from her work. -

Amanda Sent on 03/20/2023Emily is perfection!
From the moment we got engaged (honestly, even before then), I knew I wanted Emily to photograph our wedding. I had followed her on instagram for a while by then, and her ability to capture pure, authentic joy and love is, in my opinion, second to none. We met with Emily as soon as we picked our date and connected with her right away. She is kind, warm, and so supportive. Even when our wedding planning became a disaster, and we changed venues to an entirely different state, her enthusiasm for us and her commitment to our day never wavered. On our wedding day, she and her husband Gregg radiated the same joy and enthusiasm as us. We felt so comfortable with them capturing our day, like our best friends were behind the cameras. Our photos came out perfect, even more than I thought possible. She never felt intrusive in moments, blending into the background, but ensuring every photo we wanted was captured. Her editing style is timeless and authentic, which was important to us both as an interracial couple (usually, filters tend to flatter one of us more than the other).
Gregg was our videographer, too, and he needs as much of a loving shout out as Emily. We hadn’t met Gregg prior to our wedding day, but we knew having a husband & wife team would result in magic. We were right! Every time I watch our video back, I cry like a baby. Gregg caught the most beautiful moments of our day, even moments I missed myself. Paired with our photos, our day really comes alive again. Watching Emily and Gregg bounce ideas off each other, too, was such a fun experience. The best advice I have for brides is: (1) do not skip videography, and (2) if you book Emily, you have to book Gregg, too!
If it isn’t obvious enough already, from the bottom of my heart I cannot say enough good things about Emily, Gregg, and their teams. If we could do it all again with them, I would in a heartbeat. For us, we knew photos and video would be the most important investment so the memories of our day never leave us. I couldn’t be any happier with the memories we will have for the rest of our lives, and can’t wait to share them with our children one day. -

Christina Sent on 12/31/2022Emily Wren will capture your day perfectly!
Emily Wren was the first vendor we booked after the venue and it was one of the best decisions, we made during the entire wedding process! Photography is so important to us and we knew Emily and her team were the best through reviews and following her on social media for a few years prior to getting engaged. Not only is her editing beautiful but also, she has an eye for capturing the perfect moment and capturing the light in such a way that makes her photos stand out. After first inquiring, Emily sent over a beautiful and professional package with her story, photo packages and pricing. We decided to book the package that allowed us to include an engagement shoot and I definitely recommend! It was a great way to get to know Emily a bit before the wedding and her shooting style. During the entire process everything was a breeze. She responded right away, gave us an easy way to schedule any meeting with her and a very detailed timeline for the wedding day! She even hopped on a call with our planner to make sure everyone was on the same page. During the day of the wedding Emily and her associate photographer Caroline were wonderful to work with. Together they were able to capture all the moments we wanted to remember and all the ones we weren't there to see. They knew exactly when and where to make suggestions and when and where to capture those impromptu moments. Ken especially appreciated Caroline keeping him and the groomsmen organized but light hearted before the ceremony. We are forever grateful for Emily Wren and her team capturing our day. The photos are stunning, beautifully captured and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives! We cannot wait to see how the wedding album turns out next and excited to continue to work with Emily for a couple months more. Her professionalism and wonderful personality made this whole process a pleasure for us. We could not recommend Emily and her team enough and hope to continue to have Emily capture more of our most important life moments in the future. -

Kristen Sent on 06/20/2022Emily Will Be Your Best Wedding Investment
One of the most valuable things you will need on your wedding day, is an absolutely amazing photographer to truly capture not just the moments of the day, but the essence of it. If you're looking for that - hire Emily and her team today! There aren't enough nice things I can say about Emily and her team. Not only is Emily professional, responsive, organized, flexible and a joy to work with, she is absolutely amazing at what she does. Our guests were so impressed with our engagement photos, they keep asking when we will receive pictures because they equally cannot wait to see what was captured on our special day!
One of the things we loved about Emily and her team most was their willingness to be flexible on our wedding day. Sadly Mother Nature didn't fully align with our plans and our day started out with rain, then cleared up in time for our ceremony. While most photographers could have chosen to cut down time on capturing certain shots, Emily and her team were creative in finding new locations to capture images, were constantly checking radar and the weather to sneak us outside when possible, and simply made the most of every opportunity in the day to ensure she captured everything we asked for and more.
If you're looking for someone to help you relive every moment of your special day, and fall in love all over again every time you look through your wedding album, Emily is hands down the photographer to hire and one of the best investments you will ever make on your wedding day! -

Madison Sent on 02/07/2022Would choose over and over again!
Emily Wren is easily the best of the best- aside from her gorgeous photos, the photographer literally is your wedding day planner, in a way. The timeline created was flawless and detailed, making the day so much less stressful. I never realized how much photographers matter beyond the photos! I am so thankful I chose her and her team and would choose her again in the future! -

Morgan Sent on 01/28/2022Beyond grateful for Emily
Finding the most perfect photographer to capture our day was so important to my husband and I. Other than wanting light and airy photos, we wanted a photographer who was a story teller, experienced and professional. We found all of that and more with Emily. I came across Emily on Instagram. As soon as I saw how beautiful her photos were I knew I wanted to book her immediately. Something about her work just tells a story so beautifully. Emily was beyond professional and organized and truly made the entire experience so easy for us. We got to know her more during our engagement shoot which was so much fun. Working with her put my mind at ease and I knew I had nothing to worry about for the wedding. The wedding photos were an absolute dream. The photos came out so amazing. She captured everyone so perfectly and we have family and friends who are still reaching out to tell us how amazing our photographers were. Nick, the second shooter was amazing as well. My husband and groomsmen are still raving about him. Emily and Nick keep it light and fun. If you’re looking for gorgeous and timeless photos that tell a story Emily is the way to go. Hands down!! We are so grateful. -

Danielle Sent on 12/08/2021The Most Amazing Wedding Photographer!
Hands down Emily Wren is the most AMAZING wedding photographer!! My husband and I can't stop looking at all of the photos taken from our wedding day, one is simply more beautiful than the next. She captured everyone and everything perfectly that evening. I was also a covid bride, originally scheduled to be married on October 3, 2020 - but we unfortunately had to postpone to October 9, 2021. Emily and her entire team made the transition so effortless and easy for us. It also gave me another year to get to know Emily, and I am so happy to not only call her my wedding vendor, but a good friend. Without hesitation, I would book her over and over again. The light and airy photos are exactly what I wanted and now my best friends are getting engaged and looking into her as well for their weddings! Wish I could do the whole day over again, I wouldn't change one thing! -

Jamie Sent on 10/17/2021Emily Wren Photography
Emily Wren Photography is the kind of photography you pin on Instagram, Pinterest, and all wedding websites. It simply takes your breath away. Emily's professionalism, kindness, and easy going manner makes it a breeze to worth with her. She was fantastic when we rescheduled our wedding due to the pandemic, and didn't miss a beat with our new date. Although Emily wasn't available to take our photos, we were set up with Ashley and Nick on her team - and they were both fantastic! Ashley was our lead photographer, and she was so sweet, professional, and took beautiful photos - it was easy to follow her lead. Nick was a blast, and my husband loved having him with his group for the morning. They worked so well together and made the day so smooth! Emily's editing is beautiful and the photos turned out gorgeous! -

Nicole Sent on 08/17/2021Most valuable vendor!
It's hard to put into words how grateful my husband and our families are for Emily Wren and her team. They were hands down our most valuable vendor. We booked Emily back in 2018; I discovered her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. My husband and I didn't think that both a photographer and videographer were necessary, so we were looking for a photographer that could capture our day perfectly. Emily and her team did just that.
Emily first photographed our engagement shoot at Valley Forge. Although we were both shy initially, our nerves quickly eased after working with Emily. Her directions are easy to follow and she laughs with you along the way. We knew from that moment that we had made one of the best decisions in hiring her.
A few months later in April, the nation shutdown, and my husband and I had to make the most difficult decision on whether or not to postpone our wedding. After consulting our parents and wedding coordinator at our venue, Emily was our next phone call. To this day, I cannot be more thankful for Emily's honesty that day. She not only recommended that we postpone, but helped us choose the next best date which was June 18, 2021. In the months that followed, Emily remained in contact with us as we put together our wedding timeline. We always say she was also like our wedding planner. Her expertise in the wedding industry and organization are a bonus in addition to her photography skills.
This was apparent the day of our wedding as well. Despite being 8-9 months pregnant (Emily delivered 2 weeks later), Emily showed up on our day along with Gabby and Nick. The whole wedding party had such a fun time working with all three. Similarly to Emily, Gabby and Nick went above and beyond; Gabby lent a helping hand with my nieces who were running around and Nick helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres. We recently received our finished photos (turn around was not even 2 months even after having a baby - amazing!), and we are simply blown away. Emily is extremely skilled in capturing the feelings and emotions of the day, which is what makes her stand out from other photographers. We didn't want the typical staged photos that you see again and again. If you are a couple who wants the same, do not hesitate and book with Emily Wren. Thank you again to Emily and her team. We love you guys! -

Dana Sent on 01/10/2020We are so happy with Emily Wren's team!!!
We had Gabby and Dustin for our wedding, and they were just incredible. We aren't the best at posing for pics, and neither was the majority of our wedding party (sorry!!! haha), we are an awkward crew...but, they were so easy to work with that several of our wedding party members even commented on how quick and painless all the group pictures went.
They went out of their way to scout some really cool spots in our building, and then set up lighting to pull off the shots, and I know a couple of those places couldn't have been easy.
We got a sneak peek from Emily SO FAST, it was so exciting!! And turnaround on the entire album was so much quicker than we expected. They did such a beautiful job, and we are so happy we used them to capture the best day of our lives. Thank you so much!!! -

Caroline Sent on 10/30/2019The best decision!!
Emily came recommended by our venue, and we could not have asked for a better team to do our photography and videography for our wedding! Emily, Greg and their team showed up early on the wedding day, and made us feel completely comfortable from the beginning. They were so much fun to have around throughout the whole night. They are professional, personable, and we have just the most wonderful photos now, to remember that day. Somehow they were able to perfectly capture the joy and excitement that we felt on that day. We are dragging our feet on choosing 100 for the album because we can’t choose! We will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives. -

Samantha Sent on 10/30/2019Incredible!
Emily Wren was absolutely perfect and I sincerely recommend Emily as a wedding photographer! We had chosen her because we liked her style from her website. From the very beginning, I felt so comfortable with her from the first phone call. We had her come to do our engagement photo session... My fiancee (now husband) was so mad that I was making him do this but he immediately warmed up to Emily. She made us feel so comfortable and the shoot was so much fun. He said after how one of the only reason he enjoyed himself was because he loved Emily. We also knew when we got our photos back from that shoot that we made the right choice... We absolutely loved them. She captured every moment that we could have wanted captured. We also had our dog with us and she was completely cool with that (she is a dog person!). I had a couple more calls with Emily prior to the wedding day to go over timelines, specific photo questions, and everything she needed to know about the day to make sure that I got the most special pictures. During the wedding weekend, Emily completely went above and beyond. She and her whole team were seriously amazing. They were so nice, fun, and easy to be around. It was a long day and they made it so much easier. We had a lot of laughs which made for great pictures. She also knew our floral team so it was perfect and we got such amazing pictures of our flowers! When we received the first look of our photos, we were immediately in awe... She literally made me cry again at how beautiful they came out. She has such a romantic, pretty, rustic style which complemented my venue so much. Her decor shots were breathtaking. I really couldn't have asked for a better photographer and team to work with. They blew us away! -

Emily and her team were the absolute best. Everything from our first phone call, all the way through ordering prints was easy and comfortable. And they were an absolute blast to have around day-of.

Emily and her team were the best decision we ever made. We worked with two of her associates Gabby & Nick for the actual photographs and our wedding party is still talking about how fun they were to work with on that day. Emily's editing of the pictures was phenomenal and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're thinking about selecting a photographer she has to be on your list! -

Megan Sent on 10/30/2019Really enjoyed working with them & we love our pictures
We had Sarah from Emily Wren for our engagement pictures, rehearsal pictures, wedding day pictures and we had the little picture photo booth. We are very happy with how our photos came out, and would highly recommend them.
Emily and Sarah, and their team, were really easy to work with, very responsive to any questions, as well as being amazing with working to rearrange schedules with a last minute request for rehearsal pictures (which were great to have). They were really helpful in working with us and our planner and ensuring that we were organized far in advance of when things were due, which helped a lot with reducing stress. -

Anne Sent on 10/23/2019Truly the Best Photography/Videography Team
I believe that selecting the right photographer and videographer to capture your wedding is one of the most important wedding-related decisions that you will make. Emily Wren, Gregg Cornish and their team (Nick & Nick were who we had) are absolutely the best photography/videography team. Their work is stunning and they make everyone/everything look great - you will feel like a rockstar working with them. They work so hard and maintain great upbeat attitudes. They are so discrete that you will not even know they are there, which I think is important while you are trying to enjoy your wedding with friends & family. If you are a Type A bride like me, you will also appreciate their calm demeanor & organized approach to ensuring that all of your “must have” moments are captured. I highly recommend that you book an engagement photo session with Emily so that you can get to know each other and get comfortable in front of the camera - plus you’ll get some great photos for your wedding website and/or save-the-date cards. Don’t delay, book Emily & Gregg today! -

Emily was amazing to work with! Leading up to the wedding she was easily reachable and always prompt to reply. Emily was very thorough to ensure she had all the information she needed ahead of time to make the wedding day run smoothly. When is came to our wedding day Emily were great! We are so happy she was part of our special day to capture every special moment, she made us and our guest feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Getting our photos back (so quickly!) was the best day ever! They are AMAZING! Every shot is so beautiful we could not love them anymore. It’s impossible to pick our favorites! -

Jamie Sent on 12/23/2018Loved our decision to work with Emily!
We got married on 11/10/2018 and had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Emily Wren for our wedding photography!
Working with Emily in the planning stages was a stress-free and easy experience - she was responsive to our emails and questions, offered recommendations on details we were unsure about, and was very organized in the lead-up to the big day, which allowed our experience on wedding day to go very smoothly.
We were planning a Philadelphia wedding from NYC, and after our planned Philadelphia engagement photo shoot was rained out, Emily graciously offered to waive her travel fee and move our shoot to NYC.
The photos Emily (with Ryan joining her at our wedding) took were stunning, and we are so excited to begin our album design process with her. She made sure to capture every detail we had discussed beforehand on the big day, did a great job wrangling the wedding party, and ensured that we got all the shots we had discussed beforehand.
Could not recommend Emily more highly!
