Emily Wren Photography

to our guests—feel comfortable and at ease. Emily is attentive to detail and captures beautiful photos. She was incredibly professional and fantastic to work with.

ause they are capturing the memories you will look at for the rest of your lives. We knew early on we wanted Emily to be that person given the work we had seen of hers and all of the amazing things everyone has to say about her and her team. The pictures turned out to be everything we could have wanted - timeless and authentic to the day, to us, and to the memories being made by the people who were there. She captured all of the special moments we are so happy we can look back on and relive. Emily was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. From initial booking, to our engagement session, organizing the timeline and shot list for the day, how she showed up for us day of, to getting our final albums, she was always so professional, responsive, organized, calming, creative, and just overall kind. Her and Nick were a joy to have with us on our wedding day! They both had such great energy and positive vibes, making us feel relaxed and that we could be present during the whole day, knowing they would get the job done! They really captured and embraced the emotions of the day. We can't recommend Emily enough!

e and peace of mind. She was thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly intentional — we always felt supported and understood throughout the entire process. On the wedding day itself, Emily and her team brought such a calming, warm presence. They made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Nothing ever felt forced or rushed — everything felt natural, relaxed, and genuinely joyful. Our families and bridal party commented on how kind, professional, and easy her team was to be around. And the photos… we are absolutely blown away. Emily captured our day in a way that feels romantic, authentic, and timeless — every image tells a story and brings us right back to how we felt in those moments. She didn’t just document the day; she captured the emotion, the connection, and the in‑between moments we’ll treasure forever. We cannot recommend Emily Wren highly enough. Her talent, professionalism, and heart for her couples truly set her apart. We are endlessly grateful to have had her capture one of the most important days of our lives.

is her work stunning, but the entire experience was effortless and organized. We couldn’t be happier with the process and final results. Book her you won't regret it!!

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!!!

ds. We knew we wanted to use both Emily and Gregg as soon as we saw their work and had preliminary conversations with them. They worked hard to ensure we (two brides) and our families were comfortable throughout our entire wedding planning process and especially on the wedding day. Not only were Emily and Gregg wonderful, but their entire photo and video team that day was also filled with immense talent and professionalism. The photos and videos they've delivered have been incredible and we can't wait to have another reason to use them for photo and video.

t decision we made. From start to finish, Emily made the entire process effortless. She was exceptionally responsive and organized during the wedding planning phase. On the wedding day, I was absolutely blown away! Emily was on top of everything. We hadn’t met Gregg before our wedding day, but he instantly put us at ease with his warm and friendly demeanor. His kindness and professionalism shone through in every interaction. Nick was absolutely fantastic, bringing infectious energy and making the experience so much fun for the groomsmen. Sam was equally professional, kind, and attentive. Overall, the entire team worked seamlessly together, and they were so enjoyable to be around throughout the day. We recently received our sneak peek, and Emily left my husband and me speechless. The photos are even better than we could have imagined, bringing us to tears. From the smallest moments to the biggest, she captured them all with incredible talent. It truly was the best day of our lives, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photography and videography team.

nd talented! She helped lay out the day and had great suggestions. Her work is timeless and beautiful, I could not recommend her more!

After all these years, Emily is an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. I first reached out to Emily Wren in 2016. Emily Wren has been there for every milestone in our journey, serving as our engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, and family session photographer. Each time, she has surpassed our expectations with her incredible talent and dedication. Her ability to capture the most precious moments of our wedding day and family gatherings was nothing short of remarkable. Each photograph tells a story, evoking emotions that transport us back to those beautiful moments every time we look at them. Not only is Emily Wren incredibly talented behind the lens, but her warm personality and genuine enthusiasm made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. She effortlessly put everyone at ease, resulting in natural, authentic images that truly reflect the love and joy shared on our special days. The attention to detail and creativity displayed in her work is unparalleled. From candid shots bursting with emotion to stunning portraits that showcase the essence of our family, every image is a masterpiece. Her photographs are not just pictures to us. They are cherished memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you for your exceptional talent and dedication, Emily!!

g memories for my own day really put into perspective how amazing she truly is. Not only are Emily and her team so kind and caring during the day but the photos truly speak to the day we had. Most importantly she made it so relaxing and fun-we even finished ahead of schedule!!! Emily made our wedding day so incredible, we couldn’t have asked for anything more!

legant, timeless were the things I was hoping for and she massively delivered). The sheer amount of moments her team captured, even ones we missed day-of, were amazing and her process to contract, schedule for the day and deliver pictures were all very seamless. Beyond these basics that every bride hopes for from their photographer, she and her team helped keep us on schedule for the entirety of the day so we didn’t run late and miss anything important, brought great energy to help calm nerves, and made the day feel so special and uniquely ours (even though they had shot our venue many times before). If you are planning your wedding now and trying to decide whether or not to splurge on a photographer like Emily and her team, I would 100% recommend it!

detail - including things I would have never thought of on my own (e.g., what time the flowers needed to be delivered to my room and loose blooms for invitation shots). She additionally helped to build out a complete timeline for our wedding day that flowed PERFECTLY, and as a bride who loves organization, Emily made me feel so at ease and taken care of. Our experience on wedding day was also just perfect. We worked with Sarah and Michael, as well as video with Gregg - all 3 were hyping me up and making me feel so absolutely special on our special day, as well as capturing the love and joy of me and my husband as well as everyone around us. I can't say enough great things about Emily, Sarah, Michael and Gregg, I HIGHLY recommend them :)

s such a pleasure to work with throughout this whole experience. She was very responsive about any questions that we had. We had Sarah as our lead photographer and Nick on our wedding day. They were so fun to work with and really ensured we stayed on our timeline. Sarah made sure that I got every shot that I wanted and did such an amazing job capturing the entire day. Sarah also did my engagement shoot and she was so flexible throughout the process. We had bad weather on the day of our shoot and she went out of her way to push the engagement shoot up to an earlier time to avoid the rain. It was such a pleasure working with Emily's entire team. I cannot recommend enough!

second shooter. They were efficient, professional and incredible to work with! We had some rain on our wedding day and Sarah was able to navigate the challenge with ease, all while managing a 16 person bridal party and all of our immediate family to get every shot! They treated us like friends through the whole day, and really put a lot of care into our wedding. We could not imagine the day without the Emily Wren team. You will not regret working with Emily, the team will be the easiest and most professional vendor you work with for your wedding!

o 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.

y our side to document the first year (a newborn session, a 6 month session and a 1 year session). Now, here we are one year after welcoming our second child and we just finished up documenting the first year with Emily again. To say it’s an absolute pleasure to work with Emily is an understatement. Not only does she capture the most beautiful natural photographs but she’s so incredibly kind and professional and makes everyone, including very energetic toddlers and exhausted parents comfortable and at ease! She’s flexible and accommodating and always catches those most special and perfect moments in her photographs. We’ve worked together in every kind of setting over the last nearly 7 years, from the city to the suburbs to the beach to woodsy parks and across all 4 of the seasons! Our home is filled with her beautiful work. We receive so many compliments on all of the photos she’s taken over the years. Our extended family still raves about the work she did for our wedding back in 2016! We highly recommend Emily Wren Photography whether you’re newly engaged, expanding your family or simply looking to capture a moment in time with your family. We know you will be just as delighted as we are with her truly gorgeous work!

py to take our feedback to avoid shots we did not want. The two of them knew when to take charge and corral large groups of people, as well as fade to the background to capture intimate moments. We were so excited to get our hands on both the Sneak Peek and full set of photos, and we couldn't be happier with the look and quality of the photos. We would absolutely recommend Emily, Sarah, and Talya to anyone getting married in the Philly area.

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.

tations. We are always getting asked about who out photographer was for our wedding. We could not recommend her enough.

ries. From the beginning, Emily was the perfect mix of professional, personable, and skillful. She sent over a beautiful and straight forward price guide, made it easy to schedule appointments, and answered all of my questions without hesitation. Emily was flexible with our engagement shoot date due to inclement weather, was the first of our vendors to send over a day-of schedule (and boy was it detailed - my type A planner heart was absolutely giddy), and completely put us at ease during our shoots (we are definitely not naturals). On our wedding day, Emily and her associate Nick were an absolute blast and pleasure to work with and be around. They did incredible work all while blending into the crowd and letting us enjoy our day to the fullest. The best thing a vendor can do for you is put your hearts and minds at ease and that is exactly what Emily did. Highly recommend!!!

essional/making it feel natural during our engagement shoot and to being timely, professional, and fun throughout our wedding day. They really made it easy and not stressful, especially as a bride who doesn’t like her photo taken ;) We booked Sarah as our lead photographer and she was AMAZING!! She kept everyone moving and made the day effortless, we were on time for everything! We couldn’t have asked for a better capture of our special day and highly recommend Emily and her team, they are all truly special :)

d from that initial experience, we knew we had hired a kind, capable photographer to capture Us the way we envisioned. Come the day of our wedding, Emily, along with her teammate Nick, took it one step further, deftly capturing not just all of our most important moments, but all of the seemingly little details that made our day special. Their ability to help organize our time made sure we didn’t stress when organizing all our different group shots to get all the combinations of photos we wanted, and their guidance and flexibility ensured no little moment or detail was missed. They organically worked with us, and they felt like integral parts of our event… we still have guests who give us compliments on how impressed they were with our photography crew, and a few couples asked us for details for their own events ahead!! We can’t thank Emily and her team enough and are so happy with their work. Wholeheartedly recommend Emily Wren photography for any couple looking to capture their wedding in its best light!

otos turned out. Despite not doing an engagement shoot, Emily was able to get to know us prior to our wedding and suggest all of the best poses for my husband and I on the day of. Her calm yet fun personality was a perfect match for me and my girls while we were getting ready and during bridal party photos. Her associate Nick (our second shooter) is a breath of fresh air and brought the energy to keep the nerves at bay. We were also very lucky to have had Nick capture a special small backyard “wedding” last year with my 95 year old grandfather. These pictures from Emily and Nick are ones we will truly cherish forever and we couldn’t be more grateful for the role they played in our wedding(s)!

d easy to work with and made us feel like were in great hands - she understood exactly what we wanted and assuaged all of our fears. We had the same experience when we later decided to add on videography and had a phone call with her husband, Gregg. On the day of, Emily and Gregg made my husband and me, who are both pretty awkward in front of the camera, feel completely at ease. They were not at all intrusive but made sure to grab us for shots and gave us just enough direction, capturing the most natural shots of us and the vibe of the whole wedding. They were such a delight to have around and went above and beyond their duties as photographer/videographer, even helping me with my bustle! The entire day we were feeling so thankful that we had the opportunity to work with them. After the day, Emily was very communicative about when we’d be getting everything and flexible about deadlines. We are absolutely thrilled with the end product and will forever be grateful to have gotten them as a team to capture our special day! Truly couldn’t recommend Emily and Gregg more highly.

of, and took the most beautiful, natural, candid pictures with her second photographer Nick. My husband and I were worried we would look awkward because we didn't have an engagement photoshoot and we didn't practice our angles, but we were shocked how beautiful and natural we looked in every single photo. We also asked her to try to take photos of each of our guests to send in thank you cards, and our guests were obsessed with the pictures they got because they looked so great in them! One other thing to note is Emily's editing skills. I've seen wedding pictures where photographers edit the pictures into oblivion and faces look washed out and almost mannequin-like. Emily's photos truly just made us look like the best versions of ourselves, and the way we look in our photos reflects how happy and beautiful we felt on our wedding day. Wedding photos will be the one tangible thing you will have after your wedding, so go for the best, and the best is Emily Wren!

ths before we even got engaged because I loved her photography style). Throughout our whole planning process, including our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Emily was incredibly sweet, professional, and also displayed such passion for her art. She was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera despite both my husband and I feeling nervous to be in the spotlight at first. The photos we have received are more beautiful than we could have imagined, and she captured all the genuine emotions we felt during our day. We keep looking back through our photos to relive the day and we are so happy that we were able to work with Emily and her second photographer, Angela! We cannot recommend Emily and her team enough if you want timeless, beautiful photos of your wedding day!

r covid elopement and "Mini-mony" in a backyard on our original wedding date in May 2020, to our (many times rescheduled) wedding celebration in May 2022, Emily was along for the ride at every turn. No matter the circumstances (including less-than-ideal weather conditions on all 3 of these dates) Emily was there to support us while taking the most beautiful photos. Her talent is undeniable, but she is also extremely communicative and organized--you can tell how much she genuinely cares! We are so grateful that she was such an important part of these special moments in our lives and look forward to having her capture more of them in the years to come. Hiring her is one of the best wedding planning decisions you can possibly make!

lad we had the opportunity to do so. Emily made the process stress-free and easy for us from the beginning and we knew immediately we were in the best and most capable hands. Emily and her awesome associate photographer Nick Antony shot our wedding day. Because of their obvious expertise, efficiency and warmth, we were able to stay truly present and fully enjoy our wedding day like we'd always dreamed. In the end, we have STUNNING photos that capture the true feeling of the day and a photographic story that allows us to joyfully relive it over and over. We are forever grateful to Emily and Nick and we highly highly recommend booking them for your wedding!

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!

Nick for photography and Gregg and David for video. From the first call Emily made us feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. We did our engagement shoot with her in Old City, and it was a great way to get to know her, understand her style, and get more comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day. I would definitely recommend doing your engagement pictures with her too. On the day of the wedding the team was all over it — they knew where they needed to be when, and kept us on schedule. The most impressive thing was that they did it in such a casual, comfortable way. It really kept the day feeling light and fun. Multiple people even commented on how well they blended into the day while still capturing all the moments, big and small. I absolutely recommend working with Emily Wren Photography.
