Two years, four shoots, one photographer I will never stop recommending.
Emily was not even on my radar when I walked into the Villa Antonia open house. But something drew me to h...
er setup outside, and from the moment Zach and I started talking to her, we could not stop. Thirty minutes later we felt bad for monopolizing her time, but we walked away knowing she was our photographer.
Over the last two years, I had the privilege of working with Emily for our engagement shoot, my bridal portraits, my Vietnamese tea ceremony, and our wedding day. Every single time, she showed up early, came fully prepared, and made what is naturally an awkward experience feel completely effortless. I am awkward in front of a camera and Emily made me forget that entirely. She hypes you up, she moves you naturally, and before you know it you have stunning photos without ever feeling forced.
What sets Emily apart is how much she genuinely cares. She researches locations in advance so you never have to worry about permission issues or double bookings. And when one of our locations did get double booked, she rolled with our backup plan without missing a beat. She went on maternity leave during our time together and still made sure every detail was handled and stayed in communication with me. I never once felt uncertain.
She always delivered sneak peeks earlier than expected, never because I asked, just because that is who she is. On our wedding day, her second shooter Westy was equally as sweet and talented. The whole experience was seamless from start to finish.
Emily is one of a kind. I hope we get to work with her again for every special moment that comes next. If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, genuine, and will make you feel completely at ease, she is your person. Book her before someone else does.
Emily was an absolute dream to work with! From the very first moment we chatted, I knew she was my girl. She’s incredibly organized and made the entire process so easy and stress-f...
ree. I’ve never felt so instantly comfortable with someone. She truly made me feel like we’d been old friends for years.
Emily brought such a joyful, relaxed energy that made both us and our guests feel completely at ease. She has this amazing gift for making every moment feel natural and fun. Our wedding day felt like a true celebration from beginning to end, and Emily captured that spirit beautifully.
The photos are overflowing with happiness, love, and laughter. We can’t stop smiling every time we look at them. Hiring Emily was absolutely one of the BEST decisions we made!
The best decision I made whilst wedding planning was choosing Emily Boone to be our photographer. One of the first things I prioritized was finding the right photographer - someone...
who made us feel comfortable, someone who had a unique style but had a mix of classic/documentary influence, and most of all, someone who could capture the day perfectly. I found Emily, and knew I really liked her over email, but after the initial phone consultation with Emily, I really knew I had found "the one."
Emily is incredibly supportive, thoughtful and wants you to enjoy each step of the process. Her guidance and communication were top notch and sincerely appreciated, the timeliness of both being something all wedding vendors should have. She was willing to answer any and all questions, and knows the wedding industry like the back of her hand. Upon meeting her for the first time at my bridal portraits, I immediately felt as comfortable with her as I would any of my lifelong friends. She's so kind, cheery and thoughtful, and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. My mom and I had the most amazing, special afternoon with her - I didn’t want it to tend!
Our wedding photos truly took my breath away. She captured all of the emotions and special moments I had hoped I would get. She is the hype-queen who will make you all laugh, smile and feel like yourself in front of the camera. I can't believe what she was able to capture in each of the photos... it's pure magic. My guests also could not stop raving about how talented she is - so many of them saying they wish she could have been their weddings! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars, she deserves hundreds.
Both times I met with her, she made me feel more comfortable and beautiful than I've ever felt, which as a bride is SO important. I not only got to work with the best wedding photographer in the Austin area, I also made a new friend that I absolutely adore. Emily is joy, happiness, warmth, and love in a package. I cannot recommend her enough and hope that as many brides out there can experience the joy of working with her. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life - thank you emily!
We were so blessed to have Emily as our photographer back in May of this year. We first met her at our engagement shoot and immediately adored her. On top of the incredible picture...
s we got, we truly enjoyed the morning we had with her in Zilker. She made us so comfortable and it really did feel like 3 friends enjoying a nice day while getting some great pictures!
Come wedding time, Emily and her team were nothing short of fantastic. Our photos turned out incredible and it was very easy working with them. We have far too many beautiful portraits to choose from! We wanted a very organic and candid experience with just a bit of direction and that's exactly the service we were given.
At this point, we're just waiting for the next excuse to hire her for another photoshoot!
I cannot recommend Emily enough! Our wedding day and engagement session were both so perfect. Emily captures the emotion of the day, her photos are not overly/fakely edited- instea...
d they naturally enhance the real beauty of your day!! She makes the process stress free with questionnaires, brochures, ideas, recommendations, and her friendly demeanor. Literally cannot recommend enough!
Working with Emily was comfortable, rewarding, and fun. She channeled the nerves of engagement/wedding photos into organic joy. The photos are timeless and made us, along with all ...
of our friends and family, look better than I thought possible. She is a true artist. Worth every penny. Our wedding photos are something I look at each day, hung in our home. Emily’s artistry truly speaks for itself.
Can't say enough good things about Emily.
Before the wedding: The whole process was smooth, she sent a gift to start our work together, she wanted to get to know about our vision ...
through a Zoom call, and she even made a guide for her brides that I read cover to cover that had some great wedding and marriage advice. She sent shot lists and questionnaires on time and was willing to meet with me when I came to Austin for other vendor meetings. She was flexible about her package (we had a short engagement of only about 2.5 months and we did a courthouse session instead of an engagement session).
During the wedding weekend: timely, supportive, enthusiastic, and encouraging, she was indeed the ultimate hype girl and gave us funny coaching as we posed. Emily found our bulldog Lulu's trigger words (treat! cookie!) and wasn't afraid to be silly to get the shots. She was flexible when extreme heat meant that my flower girls weren't up for posing after the ceremony and her second shooter, Lexi, was wonderful also. She also seamlessly worked with a last-minute videographer we hired to capture the wedding for out-of-town VIP guests who couldn't attend.
After the wedding: Emily had previews of the courthouse as we drove home Monday, and sent previews of the wedding within a week. And I LOVED her captures and was so impressed with the moments she got.
Work with her! You won't regret it! I have been a bridesmaid/MOH many times before this, and I honestly think she is among the best wedding photographers I have ever met. It was important to me not to skimp on such an important part of the wedding day, and my husband and I are so glad we went with Emily.
Emily is not only the sweetest human ever, but she made our engagement pics and wedding day so incredibly fun, easy and beautiful!! She captured everything so perfectly (details sp...
ot on) and I'm so thankful we chose her (and she chose us!). She will make your day go so smoothly - you will not be disappointed going with her for all your photo needs!
Words cannot describe how absolutely amazing Emily is! … But accolades must be given because I’m OBSESSED with our wedding photos! The light, airy, romantic feel was exactly what I...
wanted for our special day that took place at The Vineyards at Chappell Lodge in South Austin. I felt every picture captured the happiness we felt that day… and also how excited our family and friends were to celebrate our marriage! Additionally, each picture highlighted the beauty of my dress, veil, ring, and other sentimental details that held great significance to me. These pictures are ones I hope to show my children and grandchildren as I feel they truly captured my love for Mike- and that is the whole point!
The number one thing I love about Emily (and her husband, Kenton) was the sunshine that follows her! She is SO very kind, easy-going and attentive. She actually listens intently to what you say to her and finds a way to accommodate your wishes… and even more, turns them into beauty! We met by video and in-person, talked on the phone, emailed and texted for a whole year working on creating the vision for Mike and my’s wedding day and engagement photos. There is no one else I would feel more comfortable and happy using for such an important (and honestly stressful) day. I also will never forget how Kenton ran to get me water the moment I said I was feeling dehydrated- that’s white-glove service!
Our photos 100% speak to the quality job Emily does, but I can speak personally to her amazing character, profound professionalism, and stellar wedding day vibes! She is your girl!
P.S. If you have a pup, Emily is a dog lover and got remarkable pics of us with our furry family member!
EMILY IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I'm serious...if you are looking for a kind, sweet, easy to work with, organized, TALENTED photographer please go no further. She is your best hype wo...
man for every shoot and produces just like the most amazing photos. She has a true gift that she is so happy to share. We love Emily!! And would have chosen her 100 times over!!
Emily is a dream to work with! She is the ultimate hype-woman and I can't imagine my wedding journey without her. Over the last year she's become more than our wedding photographe...
r, she's also grown into a friend. She's walked with us from our engagement photos last November, through two postponed weddings, an almost rained-out redeem the day photoshoot in the middle of a flash flood, and is anxiously awaiting our big celebration right along with us. Like her, her photography captures the joy in every moment. She's helped us create the most priceless memories. Thank you Emily!! xoxo
Emily is an AMAZING photographer. . . And more than just her photos, she is an amazing individual as well.
When Ryan and I got engaged it suddenly became such a stressful time, ...
and I genuinely felt through any time I spoke with Emily, that she was on our team and wanted to do what was best and most joyful for us. She called me and got to know me, which made me feel so cared for, and she got to hear what we wanted in our engagement photos and wedding day photos!
((And when the weather went bad, no worries, she was ready to move us to a sunnier day:) ))
When taking engagement photos, Emily made us smile so big and then actually laugh so hard we cried! She knows how to make you feel COMFORTABLE in front of the camera - Thank God!
Our photos for both the engagement shoot and the wedding were breathtaking, dreamy, and accurate. She captures so well the joy and giddiness that is so real.
In short from a bride to a bride, look no further than Emily Boone, she is the REAL DEAL. We felt known, cared for, and she genuinely loves capturing your day!!! (ps: her turn around time was fantastic ! )
These beautiful, glorious, joyous pictures!!
I am SO GRATEFUL FOR EMILY!!
Thank you so much for being so patient and genuine! So sweet and understanding with me!!
She was a comp...
lete joy. So professional. Her checklist was complete and everything. She paid attention to me, my husband, and every single detail surrounding our first day as husband and wife. She was so kind, so helpful! She even helped me with the final details of my wedding dress moments before I walked out, making sure it all stayed in place and was perfect for me.. She handled a bride the second she saw some stress, and made it all go away! So calm! She was amazing! So much more than a wedding photographer/professional, she’s the person you want with you that day!! Like another sister! She was always there!
Thank you again so much, for everything! I wouldn’t have changed a single thing.
Emily is a dream!
She did both our engagment and wedding photos and I could not be more happy. We threw her a curve ball by getting married latter in the day and not doing a first ...
look so she got creative and we have some of the most amazing photos because of her.
She is also super fun and adorable. We are Catholic and Emily completely respected the wedding Mass even through she does not come from the same denomiation as us. She was just awesome is ever way!!
Emily was such a pro. She did our engagement photos and wedding photos and made us and our families feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was also able to offer valuable ...
day of timeline planning help so we could get the photos that were important to us. We were thrilled with how the photos turned out!
Emily is AMAZING! Her pictures are beautiful and she becomes such a fun friend through the process! Cannot recommend her enough!!!
Where do I even start with gushing to you about Emily? My fiancé and I got engaged in January 2019, and our wedding was in June 2019. Needless to say, it was a quick turnaround wit...
h planning. Quality photography, however, was not something we were willing to sacrifice on.
I immediately fell in love with Emily’s airy, light-filled photographs when I found her through Instagram. From our very first correspondence, Emily was so positive, professional, and easy to communicate with.
I’ve always hated having my picture taken and it usually makes me very anxious. Meeting Emily at our engagement shoot was like a huge sigh of relief and like running into an old friend. She quickly made us feel comfortable, played fun music, and made us laugh with her encouraging commentary (“Oh, yeah, girl! Y’all are just killing it!”). She sent us sneak peeks a few days later and delivered our full album within the next few weeks, as promised. Our wedding went similarly smoothly, not to mention that Emily saved the day solving a slight snafu with my wedding gown!
Emily was encouraging, reliable, professional, organized, and fun. I could not be happier with our pictures and our experience with Emily at our wedding. We don’t even have our full wedding gallery back yet, but I feel so confident with the sneak peeks and just our overall experience to highly, highly recommend Emily! You will be so happy you did.
As a bride, your photographer will be a part of more wedding day moments than your groom will be! They're there while you're getting ready with your bridesmaids, capturing your ce...
remony and the moments before, portraits with your new husband, and family pictures. Maybe even for bridal portraits- the first time you're getting to dance around in your wedding dress!
For all of these moments, you want someone who you trust and adds fun and a calm presence to all that's going on around you, can professionally and kindly wrangle your wedding party and family, and capture all the moments you know you'll want to re-live through photos after your wedding day.
Emily was the BEST choice we could've made to have someone take care of all of those details and we're so thankful for her (and Kenton) being a part of our wedding day and all that lead up to it. From meetings, to bridals, to our big day, she made it all fun, stress free, AND we came out with the prettiest pictures that Emily had the eye to capture of scenes we didn't even notice while we were living them! She's incredible at what she does and by the end of it you'll be feeling like you've gained a friend who has invested more than just showing up to do her job but who cares for you and wholeheartedly is rooting for your marriage.
Choose Emily as your photographer and you'll soon be writing a very very long really happy review like me!
I just received our wedding photos, and I am crying all the happy tears. Emily did such an AMAZING job capturing all the emotions of the day, all the details, everything. Each and ...
every photo is absolutely gorgeous. I can't get enough of them!
I can not say enough good things about Emily. She is so incredibly sweet and full of contagious joy! I knew from the moment I met her that I wanted her as our photographer. She made me feel so happy and confident and 100% at ease on our wedding day. I honestly felt like she was a best friend that I had known for years taking our photos. From bridal portraits to the wedding, she was on top of every detail and helped everything go so smoothly. There is no one else in the world that could have captured our day the way Emily did. She is so so so so so talented and creative! I would recommend her 100000000000% over and over again to anyone in the area!
Emily is incredible. From the moment I met her to discuss wedding details I knew she not only wanted to take amazing photos, but she genuinely cared about getting to know and love...
us! I had engagement, bridals, and wedding photos done by her and she handled everything with such professionalism- and made it SO fun!! She also always gave a sneak peak of photos which is super fun :)
The wedding day went so smoothly and a huge part of that was due to her. She communicated with me in advance about what photos we wanted and she was so prepared the day of!!
I can’t wait to see the rest of my wedding photos! Emily is the best and I truly wouldn’t have wanted anyone else there to capture my wedding!
Our experience with Emily was incredible, and she played such a huge part in making our wedding day stress-free.
We looked through so many photographers before deciding on her, an...
d her photos were the best ones we had seen, by far, and they were exactly the style we were looking for. (Also, she has a pet bunny, and so do we, so that was a bonus.) When we met up with her to talk through things before we decided on her, she was so kind and wanted to know all about our relationship and what the wedding would be like. We walked away from that meeting knowing that we were 100% set on her. My husband even said, "is it wrong to email her a yes right now?" right after we walked out of the coffee shop.
We had already had a friend take our engagement photos, but Emily wanted to do a session with us too so that we could get comfortable with her before taking photos the day of the wedding, and that was so much fun. Neither of us were used to posing for photos, but she made it feel so easy and natural! She makes a point to encourage you and tell you how cute you look the entire time she's shooting, so you basically feel like actual models. We got the engagement photos back within a week, and they were BEAUTIFUL. We were in shock. She's literally amazing.
About a month out from our wedding, she contacted us to ask for more details about who was in our wedding party and our families, and if there were any specific photos we wanted taken (ex. photos of our Texas A&M class rings, our invitations, and all of the different combinations of family members for group photos). This was AMAZINGLY helpful, so she and her second shooter (her awesome husband Kenton) were able to effortlessly organize our people day-of and made sure we got every shot we wanted. She also gave us a loose day-of timeline that helped us know what she'd be doing when and when each group of people needed to be photo-ready.
The day of the wedding, Emily and her husband were such a calming and encouraging addition to the day. I was genuinely SO excited to see her when she got there, and my bridesmaids had so much fun hanging out with her. She and Kenton both got pictures of things and moments I completely missed during the day, and I was so so grateful for that. They captured the personalities of our friends and families perfectly, and I still tear up when I look back at the photos, because they are just THAT perfect.
The day after the wedding, she sent us 10 already-edited photos from the day, and that made us so excited to get the rest of them! She sent us the full gallery about a month after the wedding, and our friends and family have been blown away by them. We will be so grateful for these pictures for the rest of our lives, and we have Emily to thank for them!!
If you like Emily's style of photography, trust me, she is the right photographer for you. She will honor your special day like you can't even imagine right now, and you'll gain a friend in the process :) We love you, Boones!!!
Emily was the perfect photographer for our wedding. I knew I wanted someone who would make everyone feel comfortable, and put us at ease, and Emily did exactly that. Her energy and...
excitement was contagious, and I had people coming up to me all day (the wedding party and the guests) just to tell me how much they were enjoying her being there.
She was able to capture the pure joy on my husband's and my face. It's almost 4 months later and I still cannot stop looking at these pictures!
I would highly recommend Emily to any bride out there looking for a photographer :)
Oh my word. I literally have no words. These images are absolutely STUNNING! Every. Single. One! And these captured EXACTLY what I envisioned! You are truly gifted my friend!
...
When I got these yesterday I was driving and had to pull over in a parking lot to look at them and I just sobbed. Tears of Joy! There is a joy in these images that I haven't had in my life in quite some time and I'm so grateful that is shining through!
Thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
I’ve known emily for YEARS and she was the only person I wanted to shoot our engagement photos and wedding!! She is so invested in our special moments and day that I knew the photo...
s would be so special! Emily is very professional and has everything in order from the moment you ask her about pricing to the day she sends you the photos in the BEST packaging BTW. So organized and well thought out. I would recommend Emily 10/10 times and trust her with my life!!
Emily gets five stars only because six wasn’t an option! She was fun to work with and really truly loves what she does. She was so encouraging on our wedding day and even helped ca...
lm some of our nerves before we got the chance to see each other for our first look. She truly cares about her “beautiful humans” and we are so thankful we now have beautiful photos to remember our special day. The thing that caught my attention the most about her work initially was that her photos looked so natural, which was a must for our outdoor camp wedding! She was absolutely such a joy to work with and we look forward to taking family pictures with her in the years to come!! 😊
I cannot say enough great things about Emily! She was so my style and saw the same vision I had so it was perfect! If you look at her photography on her website that’s the best ide...
a you’ll have of her style. She is the sweetest human also and I’m obsessed with her and want to be her friend forever. She went above and beyond for me. I’m not kidding when I say she was amazing and sacrificed for us. I didn’t have a day of coordinator, but she helped tremendously with giving me a timeline and being aware of the going on’s. She has an option on her website to get all the pictures you want and request other special ones. My husband plays baseball so we did a couple cute baseball looking ones. Also my husband and I and our friends are pretty strange and she did a good job of capturing it all. She had really good time management at our wedding too and got every single picture we wanted. We got the pictures back in like 6 or 8 weeks. She did a great job editing them too. She actually just sent us a little 6 month gift of some prints and a little picture holder. You can tell she definitely loves and privileges what she does!
Emily is a JOY to work with! She is EXTREMELY talented, awesome to work with, very professional, makes taking photos very enjoyable (& not awkward). She is brilliant, organized, an...

I cannot thank Emily enough for all of her support and beautiful photography. She was able to get the families in place, think on the fly and keep me calm. All the pictures I ha...
d planned for my husband and I to take were going to be outside, but it rained; she was able to find locations that were covered and outside. Emily has a wonderful personality, she can make people smile that usually won't smile for pictures. She was able to catch moments with family members that I missed out on. The pictures of the wedding and reception are incredible, I get a little teary eye every time I see them; from the joy they bring to my heart.
Emily is a pro. She turned a last minute request for bridal portraits in to one of my favorite parts of the wedding process as a whole! She has an amazing gift of making her subjec...
ts feel super confident and smokin' hot while being dialed in enough to control all the variables that come along with photography - lighting, weather, props, etc. She looks at settings and spaces and can skillfully navigate how the settings work with the people she's shooting and has amazing discernment in figuring out what will work and what won't. She turned around the photos super quickly and professionally. Can't sing her praises any louder! She's the best. Can't go wrong here.
Emily took my engagement photos and I could not be happier with how they turned out. She was able to make my fiancé and I feel comfortable and really captured who we are. The entir...
e experience from beginning to end was enjoyable. It is easy to see that she not only enjoys photography, but has a passion for capturing the beautiful moments in life. It was a pleasure to work with Emily Boone and I will definitely use her again!
