    Highly recommend working with Emma!

    Emma is amazing, and an absolute pleasure to work with! Her photos are beautiful and creative, and we have sooo many gorgeous photos from our wedding day! She is very professional and responsive, and kept in touch with us regularly leading up to the wedding (particularly once the COVID crisis started becoming a factor in our day, she was regularly monitoring all the restrictions/rules in CT and keeping us up to date). We were forced to postpone our big celebration due to COVID, but didn't know up until about 9 days before our original date if we could still do our small ceremony, and Emma was really supportive and went with all the crazy flow with us. We ended up having the most beautiful day, and the best part is we get to work with her again for our full reception in 2021! Thanks so much, Emma!

    Thank you so much Kristen for this review! I had such a great time with you and Jeremy for your intimate ceremony and I can't wait to party hard with you for your big wedding in 2021!

    Beautiful photos!

    Emma (and Brittany) were awesome to work with at our wedding earlier this year. The level of professionalism in her work was incredible. All of our photos are gorgeous, and the lighting and shadows on so many are breathtaking. It's worth going with a professional for your wedding photos because you're going to want to enjoy marveling at them for a long time. It's hard to limit the number we want displayed in the house. Emma also helped us come up with a specific package that worked better for our timeline and budget.

    Thank you so much for this review Marina! It means so much to me that you loved your wedding photography experience and your photos.

    Above and beyond

    Emma was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. We had a few great Skype meetings with her where she made a great effort to get to know us and what our priorities were in our photos. She is very professional, checking in regularly both in preparation for our big day and afterward to update us on the status of the photos (and following up diligently and kindly when we delayed in selecting our prints). Emma's photos are high quality and she puts her subjects at ease, capturing as much as possible those beautiful more organic moments with none of the posing that might make a photo seem less real. She is more than willing, however, to help correct a stray hair or suggest a better pose, which is something that was important to me, especially in big group shots. Emma went above and beyond for us, not only hunting me down before she left to make sure we got photos with my brother who missed an earlier portrait session, but also helping me as I got taped into my too-big dress and arranging items on tables that weren't set by the time she needed to capture the details. For our very DIY wedding where nearly everything that could have gone wrong did, Emma was a wonderful asset, putting me at ease that at least my photos would be fantastic. Hiring Emma will be the best choice you make for your wedding.

    Emma Thurgood Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Kim! Your review means so much to me and I am sorry to not have seen it and responded sooner! Your wedding was so much fun and is one I will always remember and treasure being a part of for all the aspects that made it so unique.

    Amazing! Helped us have the best day ever!

    Emma is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her I knew she was going to be our wedding photographer. The whole process was amazing and seamless start to finish. Emma communicated throughout everything and even when we had a few hiccups with the venue, Emma jumped in to take care of it so that we didn't have to stress about anything. She truly shows that she cares about making your wedding day the best day ever, and makes your feel comfortable and worry-free. Emma was super accommodating and made sure we got photos of everything that was important to us, while also throwing in her creativite ideas of shots of her own that are truly breathtaking. I look through our wedding pictures often and are taken away by how beautiful they all came out. I also love the funny candid shots that she got of everyone at the wedding, it's fun to go back and see everyone have such a good time and being able to relive the day again.

    We also ordered a wedding album through Emma and her layout and creativity of it was just so beautiful. The way it is organized makes it really feel like I'm reliving that day over again. It's nice to get a glimpse of all the photos from getting ready in the begining of the day, to ending the night off with our sparkler send off. Emma sent proofs of the album over ahead of time to make sure I was happy with it, and I absolutely loved how it came out. I highly suggest getting album because the day goes by so fast so having the photos to look back on again is so worth it. Everything about Emma is exactly what you need for your wedding day as she will take care of you, your wedding party, and make sure everything is as perfect as can be so that you can just enjoy your day. Thank you so much Emma for capturing our beautiful wedding day, you are amazing!

    Emma Thurgood Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much Sarah for this amazing review! Your wedding day was so awesome to be apart of (hiccups and all!) and I'm so happy you love your wedding album!

    Professional, Flexible, Creative and Fun!

    Emma was a pleasure to work with. We had many bumps, and through it all, she was there and worked with us. Her packages are very reasonable for everything that she does and includes for you. And most importantly, she blends in seamlessly into your wedding, so you don't feel like you have a camera on you the entire time, which makes you feel comfortable.

    Hire Emma Thurgood!

    Emma was wonderful to work with. She is responsive, punctual, organized, and personable. My husband and I are not incredibly comfortable getting our photos taken, but Emma made us feel relaxed and beautifully captured our love for each other. I highly recommend hiring Emma!

    Emma Thurgood Weddings's reply:

    Perfect All Around!

    Emma was absolutely amazing! She photographed our engagement photos and our wedding. She completely captured our essence, professional, friendly, and an overall pleasure to work with! She is extremely talented and we have always been over the moon with her work. She also made herself available to us and was flexible with meeting our needs. Overall she was a dream to work with and we are so glad she captured not only our engagement photos, but our wedding photos as well.

    Emma is Fantastic!

    I am so glad we found Emma! She is so nice, easy to work with, and responsive to emails and questions you have! She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding and they came out beautifully! She really goes above and beyond, like climbing down a hill to stand in weeds, to get the perfect shot! I would 100% recommend Emma!

    Emma Thurgood Weddings's reply:

    I will do whatever I need to get beautiful images of my clients, and if standing in watery weeds is one of them, so be it. I loved working with you and Joe and thank you so much for this review!

    Emma is awesome!

    We loved working with Emma to shoot our engagement photos as well as our wedding! Her pictures are beautiful as well as affordable, and she has such an easy manner behind the camera - she makes you almost forget you’re being photographed, which was great as I was a little camera shy! She even pitched in and helped my groom and our groomsmen with their bouts and just overall made our big day run so smoothly, and we are in love with every single picture she took! Her turnaround time was also awesome, she told us to expect 10 weeks but we had them within less than 6 weeks. Overall, highly recommend :)

    Emma Thurgood Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! Your support and client satisfaction means so much to me and I'm glad that I could make your wedding photography experience so awesome. :)

    Brilliant Work

    My husband and I got married this past June and feel hiring Emma as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. Emma is one of the most talented photographers I’ve seen. Her work is as advertised. Beautiful photos that truly capture our dream wedding. She was so attentive and professional through the whole day. We highly recommend Emma Thurgood Photography!

    Emma Thurgood Weddings's reply:

    Oh my gosh, I'm blushing! I don't know if I could ever take credit as someone's best wedding decision, since every wedding is a team effort from all the vendors and my work relies heavily on theirs. But I really appreciate that you were so happy with my performance and your photos, and thank you for your review!

    Let me start by saying what a delight Emma was from our first consolation and even after the wedding. She always arrived on location early so she could scope out the space for potential photographs and check the lighting situations. She made herself available through multiple means so I could easily reach her when I needed to. Emma even managed to get my grumpy husband to smile in photos, not an easy task! My photos were made available to me when they were expected to and I never had to hunt her down for them. I am not a person that is comfortable in front of a camera but Emma made it so easy for us to relax. If you're looking for a funny, sweet, and talented photographer look no further!

    Emma Thurgood Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for these kind words! I had such a blast working with you and Jason for your engagement and your wedding. I wish you all the best for your future together!

    Emma is Great!

    Emma was so fun to work with! She had great ideas, didn't freak out when one of my bridesmaids almost passed out mid-photoshoot, and multiple people mentioned afterwords that she looked like she was having fun and loved what she was doing 100%. Her work is beautiful; I fell in love from the moment I first visited her website. The turnover was amazing on the photos, too; we received them so quickly after the wedding and they were stunning! Safe to say we made an excellent choice to have her at our wedding!

    Outstanding photographer. I highly recommend Emma! She has a sharp eye for detail, great sense of humor and a get up and go attitude that I really appreciated. I'm not on the very artistic side and Emma took my ideas that I wanted and made them better than I could have imagined. Her photos are fantastic and she's extremely affordable. I can promise you that you'll be grateful that you chose her! My entire family was impressed with her.
