    Best experience- one less thing to stress about!

    Best experience! Emily was amazing to work with during the whole wedding process. The engagement photos were a great way to get to know each other and become comfortable so that the wedding day ran smoothly. Emily was very quick to respond to all our questions and was able to accommodate our ideas. Having Emily on your side for any occasion makes the stress go away. If you want a friend and photographer all in one, look no further!

    Emily is the best!!

    If you’re looking for a wedding photographer.. do not look any further!! Emily is your girl!! Not only is she so on top of the timeline and getting all of the shots, but she is also fun, will make you laugh, and will help you feel very comfortable the entire time. My fiancé/now-husband dreads pictures.. except when Emily takes them. She was actually able to make everything enjoyable for him and of course for everyone else as well!

    And her work is AMAZING. You will not be disappointed!

    Emily is extremely easy to work with, flexible, and such a fun vibe to be around! She did an amazing job on our wedding photos and we are lucky that we came out as friends throughout our wedding planning journey!

    So easy to work with, love her natural style!

    Simply wandering Photo was 1000% the right choice for our wedding. Emily was super helpful during the planning process and gave great advice for the wedding timeline. She captured our day true to us & we love that we can re-live the day looking back through the album. 😁 We look forward to working with her again for future photos!

    Best photographer you could ever ask for!

    My wife and I would just like to say thank you to Emily and her sister Amber for being there for us during our most special night! Her work speaks for itself, so this is just a review about Emily the person. We met Emily through a mutual friend. When we first met her during our engagement shoot, we immediately connected with her. It honestly felt like we've been friends for years, and it was such an amazing experience. From the engagement shoot, to our wedding day. She made us so comfortable and brought a lot of joy and happiness throughout. Our dream wedding wouldn't be possible without Emily and her sister Amber. So huge thanks to you guys. Until next time our dear friend! - Michael & Alicia.

    The best photography choice you will ever make

    Emily did an absolutely AMAZING job! She instantly makes the sessions comfortable and instantly feels like a friend.

    She shot my engagement and wedding photos despite it pouring during the engagement session and being an especially windy beach wedding! She was also very kind and caring in my last minute scramble to decide I would like to book her for an extra hour the day before the wedding.

    Beyond the photos turning out absolutely stunning and stellar, Emily also has an in depth knowledge of weddings and was the bustle master and truly just jumped in whenever she saw I needed help.

    I was very nervous about not being able to pose correctly and Emily gave clear and descriptive directions for the most natural feel. The candid photos were incredible and she truly captured every magical moment.

    I will forever be grateful that we chose Emily to be there for us on our wedding day!

    Wedding/Engagement Photography

    Emily was great!! From start to finish, Emily made us feel comfortable during both our engagement photos and wedding photos. She allowed us to include our fur babies, two labs, who were always wayyy too excited about being a part of the photos but Emily didn’t let it phase her. She laughed along and captured some great photos. She is always up for an adventure and encourages you to do you! She was very helpful in creating a timeline for the wedding and on the day of the wedding she was on time and helped keep the day moving along on schedule as well. It was much appreciated. My husband and I would highly recommend Emily, with Simply Wandering Photography for your next photography needs!

    Thank you Emily and Taylor!!

    Emily is an amazing photographer!! We loved that she offered an engagement session before our wedding day. We were able to get to know her and she became our friend immediately! On our wedding day, her second photographer Taylor was just as awesome. They made us feel comfortable, laugh, and had our backs every step of the way. Emily was knowledgeable about so many things and even helped me bustle my dress. The fact that she went out of her way to do things for me, made me feel that much more important. I wish that every vendor we had that day brought the same energy that Emily and Taylor did!

    Simply Wandering Photo's reply:

    AWH KATRINA!! Thank you SO MUCH for your incredibly sweet compliments and review!! We LOVED getting to hang out with you both on your best day ever and you made it easy to want to go above and beyond for. I truly consider you both friends and hope our paths cross again in the future.

    Stunning photos from a wonderful photographer!

    Emily was absolutely amazing to work with. We enjoyed our engagement shoot with her and loved how natural she made the photos look. I really like how she sent a group of photos just a couple days after the wedding before sending the rest of them later on. We felt that her rates were extremely reasonable and a great value for the high quality of photos and professionalism. Plus she is a very kind and humble person. Thank you Emily!

    Wedding Day Photos + Engagement Sesssion

    Emily took my wedding day photos as well as an engagement session. She was wonderful to work with, was very flexible with last minute changes, and her photos are amazing!! She offers some great wedding packages, one of which was perfect for our small, casual ceremony. I would definitely recommend booking her!

    Simply Wandering Photo's reply:

    You're the BEST, thank you for your sweet review and recommendation! Hopefully we can hang out again in the future :)

    We love Simply Wandering Photo!

    Emily is the kind of photographer you hope and pray to find. She is the perfect example of the top three qualities I deem the most important when it comes to a photographer: talented, heartfelt, and authentic. My husband and I hired Emily for our 2020 wedding, and little did we know, our plans would change and keep changing due to a pandemic. Emily took all of our worries and stress away by being so flexible and gracious when it came to changing plans. She kept telling us that all she wanted was to help make our special day happen and she did even more than that. She helped make our dream come true. Emily photographed our wedding with such ease and such beauty and I never imagined our wedding photos would look as stunning as they did. By the end of the night, we felt like we just had a dear friend shoot our wedding. She’s a genuine, kind, professional, and fun human being and I can’t wait to work with her again!

    Perfect wedding photos!

    Emily photographed our engagement photos and wedding and not only is she a wonderful and kind person, but she is an amazing photographer. With 2020, we had to change our wedding plans multiple times ending up doing an intimate backyard wedding. Emily was so flexible and helped so much with the wedding giving us advice and keeping everything running smoothly. Throughout the entire process, she was reliable and had great communication. She made taking pictures fun, and her and her partner have such an incredible eye! Our pictures all turned out so beautifully! We couldn't be happier and highly recommend her!!

    Hire her- you won't regret it!

    I hired Emily to do my engagement and wedding photos and every step of the way she exceeded my expectations. She was responsive, thorough and very reliable through the entire process. My whole experience with her was seamless (even despite COVID-19). Emily has an amazing artistic eye with photography and captured my special day beautifully! I would definitely hire her again for other events and hope to work with her again soon!

    Amazing photographer!

    Emily was amazing! We had 3 weeks to replan our wedding (thanks covid) and she stepped right up to the plate for us. She was responsive, fun, professional, and like a friend! Her work is beautiful and completely authentic. We are so in love with our wedding photos and could not speak highly enough of her. Highly recommend Emily!

    The sweetest person ever with a heart for community and passion!

    Emily was the best thing for our wedding season among a COVID pandemic! She was very helpful and flexible with the many changes and added pressures! Emily made us, family, and guests feel at ease and fun and playful with photos. She was very thorough and professional, and came ready with photo ideas and line ups! Not only did she do our photos, but she helped coordinate the whole wedding day. She has been a longtime family friend; and has community and passion as her focus. We love Emily and would recommend her for any major life event photography to capture those special moments:) She not only captured my wedding day, but she also did my moms wedding, my senior portraits, and my older sister's portraits. All of which were very beautiful and detailed photo shoots

    Emily is amazing!

    Emily made our engagement session feel natural and fun. My fiance was worried about looking awkward, especially since he doesn't like to take photos to begin with. Emily did a fantastic job of helping him feel at ease and she was able to capture his natural smile in the pictures. Emily captures a wide variety of poses and makes sure the photos showcase the love between the couple. She is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and creative photographer. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Simply Wandering Photo's reply:

    Awh Melissa you guys were so amazing to work with!! You kept me laughing the whole time and your love and happiness with eachother is so evident and tangible. Loved working with you and can’t wait to work with you again!!

    Emily and her team is GREAT!

    First off, Emily is amazing. She worked with us and really captured how how special and amazing our day was for us. We could not be happier with the pictures she captured. Best of all, she took all the stress away prior to the wedding, and the worry of getting "that one photograph" never really crossed our mind because we knew it would be donee honestly ended with too many amazing photos to choose from. We would strongly recommend her to anyone willing to listen.

    She is the best!

    My fiance and I were lucky enough to work with such an amazingly talented SoCal native photographer, Emily. She is the sweetest and an absolute delight to have capture our love. Also, she made our beautiful bouquet for our shoot, she is so crafty! We got back really fun/quirky and pure/romantic photos. For our Joshua Tree shoot, she helped with styling, hyped us up during the session, and killed it with the final edits - she does not disappoint! She made us feel comfortable, listened to any concerns, and has excellent communication. Her photography skills are magical and I would say her style is warm and moody. We are crazy in love with our photos, as we already made prints and using them as backgrounds for everything. We highly recommend booking Emily for all your photography ideas/needs!!

    Simply Wandering Photo's reply:

    Kat! Your words!! They mean SO much to me and I LOVED getting to hang out with you and your fiancé ❤️ Really hope we get to shoot together again in the future!!!

    Emily was awesome and I have already recommended her to friends

    Emily is an amazing photographer and super pleasant to work with. I really appreciated the quickness of getting our sample photos. Emily was so professional and prepared with snacks and anything else we needed and hadn’t thought of.

    Simply Wandering Photo's reply:

    You both were so fun and great to work with and photograph! Your wedding was BEAUTIFUL and so uniquely you :) Thank you SO much for your kind words and I hope your married life in the PNW is going well!

    Simply the Best

    I was hesitant to get engagement shots in the first place, but decided to go for it as a sort of practice for our wedding. Emily was super understanding about my apprehension towards posed photos and made the entire session so relaxed and fun. She came prepared to put our awkwardness at ease and made us laugh the entire shoot.
    When I got the photos back I was blown away, not just by how much I loved them but by how many photos I loved. Emily turned our awkwardness and apprehension into pure magic. I will cherish these photos forever.

    Simply Wandering Photo's reply:

    Kristin!! You’re SO KIND 😭 thank you!! Your words about cherishing your session photos are exactly what I love to hear! You two were so much fun to work with and I’m glad that shone through in your images. I hope to be able to work with you guys again really soon!! ❤️
