Emily Hayes Photography

so professional and punctual. Our photos were absolutely beautiful and really showcased the happiness we felt on our wedding day. We can’t thank Emily enough for all her hard work. She is the absolute best and can’t imagine having anyone else but her capture our wedding day. We love you Emily!!

s and wedding photography. For our engagement photos she gave us great direction while also giving us space for candid interactions. Her wedding photography captured all the beautiful candid moments I didn’t get to see as the bride. The posed photos we took at the wedding were also well composed. The color saturation on the photos really brought the day to life and gave me the “natural but a bit turned up” look I was hoping for. Emily is super collaborative and connected well with us as a couple. She answers emails super promptly. Our engagement photos were done early and our wedding photos arrived a few days earlier than projected. I would hire Emily for photography again in a heartbeat.

ncoln Park area of Chicago, and she captured the beautiful settings that we wanted in our pictures and included a great variety of shots of us together. We used one of the photos for our save the dates and got a lot of compliments. For the wedding, she made sure to go over details with us ahead of time so we felt prepared, and day-of, she was there early to scope out locations at the hotel and venue, having plan B options since it was raining throughout the day. We chose the package for having two photographers, and the second photographer she had helping for the day, Victor Chan, was also fantastic and personable. Together they captured the special moments throughout the ceremony and reception seamlessly. They pulled us aside to take some final shots before they left, and it was a nice way to bring it back to being about the two of us in the midst of all that was going on, so we really appreciated that. Overall, we had a great experience and recommend Emily's photography services!

e us feel at ease and comfortable with her once we began discussing our wedding vision and on the day of the event. Emily was very patient when our friends and family asked for photos to be taken with us following the ceremony and during the reception and was so kind about doing so, taking multiple shots of important moments throughout the day that we will cherish for years to come. She followed up with us after the wedding to provide us with a sneak peek that made us so excited for the final gallery of photos, and she communicated when to expect the final shots which we really appreciated. Once we saw the final photos, we were blown away by the artistry of the shots and by the amazing job she did–seeing them truly feels like we are transported back to that joyful day! I honestly could not recommend a better photographer than Emily!

engagement photos and our wedding, and her work turned out beautifully. We're looking forward to displaying it in our home!

ent, and was flexible when we realized the polar plunge was happening at north beach that day. Throughout the day, she was early, had great poses, talked us through everything to make us feel more comfortable. It could not have been a better experience. Then, we received our photos. They are exactly what we were looking for! She made us feel like vogue models! I would recommend Emily to anyone and everyone! Can't wait to have her on our wedding day! Update, we had her for our wedding and she was literally the best all day! She followed everything for my vision, came early, stayed late, and made us feel so happy!!! She even already sent us 10 pics and we got married like two days ago! I would hire her for everything I need to document moving forward. She was our best vendor!

by Emily's shots. Our couples photos were simply breathtaking. She was easy to work with, and allowed us to pick the photos and groupings we wanted. We were able to get photos in multiple locations, and in a variety of poses. We requested more candid shots than anything, and were more than pleased with what we received. We had a decent sized guest list and she got everyone in at least one photo! She was beyond professional, and very flexible with the hours of our event. She was easy to communicate with, and was available via phone or email at anytime! We were able to have phone consultations regularly, which made my stress almost non-existent. We could not have received more beautiful photos with anyone else, and we cannot thank Emily enough! With her photos we will be able to cherish our special day with friends and family forever!

moment!! SHE WAS AMAZING AND IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

our engagement session. We were hoping to just get a handful of photos that we really loved, but we ended up with dozens - so many that we can't choose between them. I cannot recommend Emily enough. Thank you!

our requests for ideas, and very easy to work with.

y couple, and she was able to make us feel comfortable. Thank you for a memorable shoot! We would have loved her for our wedding if it was in Chicago.

y and to get to know us as a couple. We maintained constant communication throughout the planning process. She arrived to our venue early and made sure to capture all the beautiful moments of our day, including the behind-the-scenes and memorable touching scenes. After the day, she also provided updates on when we would get our edited pictures. Her work was great! We are so happy to see all the shots that we asked for and other additional ones that added to our collection! Thank you Emily!
