er, I did decide to purchase the raw footage and I am not sure that I would recommend for future couples.

e, even though we aren’t huge “picture people” to begin with. The photographers and videographers were patient with us and helped direct us with certain poses that ended up looking great in the sneak peak photos. Jennie and Kathy (the photographers) were so nice and made us at ease, while also providing direction and making sure the surrounding shot was all set fin order to get the best photo (i.e., recognizing when there was a bag in the background of the shot that needed to be moved). We can’t wait to see more of our photos in the upcoming weeks!
The entire photography team was Very accommodating and friendly. We initially didn’t request engagement photos and then decided to do them a month before our wedding & Erica and J...
osh were quick to get us on the schedule. Our wedding day weather was sweltering and because of that, my husband and I changed our photo requests almost entirely on the day of our wedding. The photography team took the changes in stride and kept us on schedule throughout the whole day. They were not at all intrusive to the wedding day festivities. I can’t wait to see the final photos!
The Emerald Stone Team was fantastic to work with. From our initial call with Erica and throughout up to the wedding day, the whole process was stress free and fun. Erica helped ...
us put together our package and balanced between what we want vs. our budget. Emerald Stone was definitely a highlight of our wedding vendors. We really appreciated that Erica and her team tried to make our day perfect and documenting it vs us a managing vendor.

pictures that were important to me. Erica has been the sweetest throughout this whole process. Josh and Matt kept us laughing the entire day and really took the time to set up the perfect places and lighting for our pictures. The Emerald Stone team has been great from start to finish!

I am so happy to have Emerald Stone as my photographers! From the beginning, the owner Erica was so on top of everything, organized, thorough and flexible. My photographers the day...
of were Josh, Jenni and Kathy and they were all awesome, very nice, very energetic and worked really well with each other. They were willing to try things out. It poured rain exactly when we were supposed to take all our post-ceremony pictures outside, so they pivoted really quickly and we still got beautiful photos, and we even still took a ton outside. They also stayed on top of the timeline all morning pre-ceremony and that was very reassuring. I also just love the photos that they took - the colors are so vivid, and they really captured the feeling of the moments! Everything was just perfect!
LOVE Emerald Stone Photography! From our engagement shoot, to our wedding, the Emerald Stone Team we worked with was amazing. Jennie and Kathy are a mother/daughter team that we we...
re comfortable with, who made us laugh and smile making the photos effortless on our part! The photos we got from the engagement and our sneek peek from our wedding leave us couting down the days until we receive the rest of our wedding photos! We also had videography there and cannot wait to see the video they put together of our wedding. 100000/10 would recommend the Emerald Stone Team a million times over!
Emerald Stone was the best investment we could have made for our wedding! Our lead photographer was Sam and she was amazing, had tons of recommendations. Miranda was our 2nd photog...
rapher and that lady would do just about anything for the shot including on laying on her side to get the perfect shot. Bryan and Brenda were our videographers and much like Miranda, they would do just about anything to get the perfect angle. The most supportive and great team we could have asked for! Kind and thoughtful and even had some ideas to make our special day stand out. As a bigger bride, the self conscious poses were in flow but Sam made sure to relate to me and point out stances and poses that were flattering to me. I loved our team, would recommend them to anyone!! Thanks Emerald Stone for making our wedding dreams come true!
We highly recommend Emerald Stone!! Erica was amazing behind the scenes and willing to answer any questions we had leading up to the wedding. The day of went so smoothly. Our photo...

pher for us. Erica was always there for us no matter what time we had a question. The pictures were so well done. The photographer know us so well and what we wanted our day to look like. We are so happy to have them there for our day.
One of the best decisions we made during wedding planning was choosing Emerald Stone photography for our big day! Erica was a joy to work with from our initial phone call, leading...
up to the wedding and even post wedding day. Prior to the wedding Erica knew the right questions to ask to determine what was most important to us. Not only is Erica awesome to work with but her team is as well- I couldn't have imagined a better photography and videography team! Josh (photos) and Mace (video) went above and beyond- they made us laugh and guided us on poses that we wouldn't have thought to do. They were very engaging and creative in their shots and made it easy! We will forever cherish the moments they captured and I can see why Emerald Stone is voted top 5% in the US.

hat meant the most to us on our wedding day! I cry every time I watch the video! You need to hire them to be your videographer :) 10/10
Where do I even start?! I started selecting vendors for my wedding almost two years in advance, and it all started with photography. Photography is one of the only memories you’ll ...
have from the day. The raved reviews about Emerald Stone are 100% accurate. Erica and her team made the entire process, from start to finish so seamless, stress free and fun. I never had to chase or follow up, and if I did send an email or text, I had a response within minutes. We had Josh as our lead, and he is just one of a kind. Both my now husband and I were so nervous about photos, and from our engagement photos to day of, he made it so fun and made us look forward to all the photos. I couldn’t recommend Emerald Stone enough. I would choose them for any life event if I could.
I need to start off by saying that Erica and her team are truly rare and special gifts in this insane wedding industry.
When I started planning our wedding, Erica was one of the fi...
rst photographers I spoke with and we immediately clicked and I knew she had my same vision in mind for our big day.
We were lucky enough to work with Bryan P from her team for our engagement pictures and we felt like we made a lifelong friend. The professionalism and courtesy Bryan showed us with helping us pick a site and escorting us around for the best and most beautiful pictures was incredible.
When it came time for our wedding, we needed to add additional time to fit in a first look between my dad and I, and it was never a problem.
Erica's communication and attention to detail is NEXT LEVEL, and even in the days before the wedding, she was making sure that our photography and videography timeline was perfect and keeping us in the loop for every step.
Now for the wedding. Bryan P and Laikyn P were truly magical as our photography team. We had no idea how we would feel with people following us around all day taking pictures and videos but Bryan and Laikyn were so comforting and calming, they helped keep everything moving so effortlessly and gave us a true sense of peace throughout all of the craziness of the day. We are so grateful to have met them and worked with them.
We were also lucky enough to work with Brian R and Brenda R as our videography team and their attention to detail and guidance was spectacular.
If you are getting married in the central PA area and looking for an incredible team to capture all of your most important moments, no one can serve you as well as Erica and her team.

ure that everything ran smoothly! Brian and Brenda were extremely professional and even made the effort to Zoom call my husband and me the week before our wedding! Josh was also extremely professional and helped keep the mood light by cracking jokes and making you naturally smile...not just "okay, say cheese"! The whole team was amazing and helped decrease stress in anyway possible the day of! I can't tell you the amount of times that Brenda or Josh helped layout my train to make it look perfect from every angle! Everyone was amazing and they made sure to capture every small detail and moment the day of. We could not be more grateful or thankful for having such a professional team help make our day perfect. Erica, Josh, Brenda, and Brian- thank you all SO much for helping make our day perfect. You guys are amazing. ❤
Emerald Stone Photography is simply perfection. The associates that photographed our wedding were AMAZING. They were both creative with the shots they were setting up and were a lo...
t of fun to work with. I’m often uncomfortable with pictures of me, but they kept it fun and lighthearted. I have seen a few sneak peeks and they have been stunning! I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures!
Erica was also a lifesaver and easy to work with. We had to postpone our original date due to COVID and due to scheduling issues we lost our original photographer. When I reached out to Erica about our predicament she was quick to respond and answered all of my questions. She was an integral part of keeping our day special and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with.
Erica was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire planning process, event, and follow-up! Matt and Josh were outstanding photographers and so much fun to work with...
, they did a tremendous job of capturing so many amazing moments and helping us create treasured memories. Our wedding day was far beyond anything we could have hoped for, and Emerald Stone played a huge part in making it the best day of our lives. I would recommend Erica and her team to absolutely everyone seeking talented, professional, kind, and creative photographers.

way and we couldn't be happier with how all of our photos turned out! Thank you ESP <3
Emerald Stone Photography is amazing! Erica is so talented in what she does, and is very quick to respond to emails, texts, or phone calls. She was so sweet and accommodating with ...
everything! She took our engagement photos, and traveled a good distance from PA to Baltimore in order to shoot photos at my husband and I's favorite location. We brought our dog, and she did such a wonderful job including him in our photos! For our wedding day, we had Josh and Ashlie as our photographers, who were equally as great. Josh was amazing in getting absolutely every photo I wanted - he even went into a field just to get the perfect photo! They both did a great job in suggesting great photo ops that we might not have thought of. I got a "sneak peek" of photos a few days after the wedding, and they are stunning! I am so excited to see the rest. I told Erica from the beginning that the photos were my most important part of the engagement and wedding, and she did not disappoint! I would highly recommend!
Erica will be photographing our wedding, I've used her for years for all my photography needs. She is excellent at what she does! She has an eye for the perfect shots!!
Emerald Stone Photography is amazing!!! They made us feel so relaxed on such a crazy day!! Thank you so much!
