Absolutely incredible, stunning, jaw dropping photos! Emily has an eye for the most beautiful shots, I felt so at ease trusting her to capture our day. Not only is she extremely sk...
illed at photography, but her edits are stunning, and her personality makes those shots possible. We felt so comfortable, and she got every shot and then some. I can’t recommend her enough, especially if you are looking for a well planned timeline that makes the day feel easy. Zero stress! Would give her 10 stars if I could! She made our day so special!
Emily was easily our favorite vendor that we hired for our wedding and our engagement photos. She was incredibly communicative, ensured quality in all of her photos, and was an abs...
olute gem to be around. She made us feel very comfortable the entire time! During the wedding she interacted with our wedding parties and guests with grace and calmness, capturing magical shots all throughout the evening. We are so incredibly lucky to have found her, and I cannot recommend Emily enough!!! She's by far the best photographer in town, and her personality and professionalism are just the cherry on top. Thank you for everything, Emily!!
Emily is not only the best thing I ever did for my wedding, but may also be the best thing I ever did for my life! I have full trust and faith that Emily will photograph my husband...
and I for the rest of our lives. She made our wedding day the most extremely magical day and gave me the most concrete memories to look back on it with. We had a bit of a crazy day, trying to wait out rain before our ceremony, no first looks, quite a bit of rushing, and yet Emily was encouraging my spirits all throughout. She was respectful of our wishes, and even warped her own schedule to accustom our desires. I happened to need extra supplies that none of my bridal party had, and yet Emily had it at hand. I can’t begin to explain how thankful I am for her creative spirit and for her extremely caring heart. Looking at the photos that Emily produced, I am brought to tears. seeing the joy that she captured and the memories that she allowed to be concrete. Emily should be voted preferred photographer of the year every year, but that will never add up to the joy she brings to her clients lives every day she shoots a photo.
I am the MOB. Emily Jo and Tonya were amazing to work with. They were professional, kind and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. They took all the photos at my daughter’s wedding. I...
have only seen the sneak peeks and can’t wait to see the finished project. They have provided us with memorable documentation. One that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives. They were helpful, knowledgeable and made us all feel comfortable. I would recommend them for your event. Emily Jo is giving of her time, patience an ability to keep everyone calm.
Oh my goshhh where do I begin!!! I could write endless paragraphs on emily but I will shorten it to the few things people care about when booking a photographer.
Professionalism ...
& Communication—Emily is such a seasoned pro and knows exactly what she is doing. She was kind enough to create an hour by hour (even minute by minute for some of it) itinerary for our wedding day, so my wedding party knew exactly where they needed to be at what times. It took a lot of the stress off my plate. Emily was always just a text/phone call away with any questions I had. She gives the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness. She will handle your wedding day with the upmost care as if it were her own.
Editing/quality of photos—I did not have a single complaint on any of my photos! There was some pictures where I needed random strangers taken out of the background, and they are edited so perfectly that I didn't even realize she had edited them. That kind of skill only comes with true dedication to the craft and attention to detail, which is exactly what emily has. The coloring and lighting of my photos were perfect and timeless. She has a way of capturing all your best angles, and accentuating your natural beauty. Guaranteed you will feel confident in your photos!
Overall experience—Emily is your biggest advocate on your wedding day. She made sure all of the photos with family we wanted were taken and that nothing was forgotten. She gently and professionally tells you what to do so you can get the best angles, but not in a weird “posey” sort of way. All the pictures were perfect and came out candid in the best way possible. If you are someone that doesn't like getting their picture taken, or feels awkward in photos, then look no further for a photographer. Emily makes you feel calm and confident! I truly could not recommend anyone more, and I am so happy I have found a photographer for all my special life events. Book with emily, you will not regret it!!!
Emily is an amazing photographer. She captures our family in the best ways. We first hired Emily as our family photographer, but knew we needed her for our reception! She consisten...
tly exceeds our expectations. Thankful we met Emily and that she has become a staple for some big moments in our lives!
We love Emily! The way she captured all we were feeling throughout the day - the giddiness, the gratefulness, the nerves, the love - was absolute magic. She got some truly beautifu...
l photos that I can’t wait to have in our home. Emily is calm & laid back & easy to be around, while also so good at directing people and wrangling the group (I had a huge bridal party and have a big family, so this was no small feat!). She’s already shot one of my sister’s weddings and I’ve been recommending her to all of my engaged friends :) We love her & are so grateful we picked her to photograph our day.
My wife and I were referred to Emily for our wedding photography just east of Denver in Bailey, CO by a college friend and we didn't know what to expect at all, like anyone. Emily ...
was so good about keeping it casual and low stress, and first, we were blown away by the engagement shoot, it was really the first time I've ever had pictures that made me feel really good about myself and proud of. Then when we got the wedding photos, we REALLY felt like she did such a great job capturing the energy of the day, there were no missed moments, you didn't notice she was there yet every shot was pristine, and there have been nothing but compliments from friends and family. Some photos are even up for voting to be in magazines, so that's very exciting!! Thank you Emily, and we're so happy to be referring you to our friends as they too get engaged to be married.
Emily was my dream wedding photographer! I found her on Instagram where I immediately fell in love with the quality and vibe of her photos.
When I reached out to her for a quote,...
she responded very quickly. We talked on the phone soon after to discuss what would be included if I booked with her, the pricing, and all the other importer details. Emily was so friendly and organized, and that really left an impression on me. I immediately felt at ease on the phone with her.
I ended up booking a package deal where I got her for 8 hours on my wedding day with a second assistant photographer. I also got to choose from an engagement photo shoot or a boudoir shoot as part of the package. I choose the boudoir shoot and if you’re thinking about it, JUST DO IT!! We did the boudoir shoot 2 months before the wedding. It was a great experience and really helped me get to know Emily more. Emily was extremely professional and her extraordinary photographer skills had me feeling myself!
As the wedding got closer, Emily communicated effectively and sent me detailed timelines and expectations for the day of the wedding. Her communication and organization made everything run so smoothly the day of the wedding.
She also listened to what I wanted and turned that into a reality. For instance, I told her I didn’t want to be taking family photos forever and I also don’t like stuffy forced photo poses. She took my words and ran with them. She had a list of all my family members and the photos I wanted with who, and she got through that list so efficiently. Her and her assistant were so easy going and helpful the day of, and it just put everyone at ease. She captured everything perfectly from the small details to the outrageous fun on the dance floor at the reception. It’s been a year since I got married and I’m still so obsessed with my wedding photos!
Emily Jo was ABSOLUTELY amazing! I couldn't not recommend her enough. From the beginning she was so down to earth and could articulate her point of view and style so articulately. ...
We specifically chose her because she was able to capture us authentically and not posed. Our engagement photos were our first experience and it was a BLAST! She was creative and intentional. Made us feel so comfortable. She gave us all the details of how she works and how to work with her. Leading up to the wedding she was available and communicative. So supportive and encouraging to live in the moment. We had a wedding planner otherwise Emily was prepared with timing and was SO prepared the day of the wedding. The day of the wedding Emily and her second shooter were AMAZING. We had a blast! Emily was professional, comfortable, laid back, intentional, and she made us feel so so comfortable. That it she had everything dialed in no matter what was happening.
Our photos turned out so fantastic and they capture the day perfectly. I can't stop looking at them. Hire Emily! you won't regret it. She is the best! :)

ciated since it was just my husband and I there for our elopement - she helped us pick up my bouquet and and even helped me put my dress on, just above and beyond my expectations! The photos themselves turned out absolutely stunning and we couldn't be happier. Would definitely , 10/10 recommend her services to future brides everywhere!

She was efficient with our wedding party photos and the candids were great! Everyone enjoyed shooting with her—she was like one of the family! She also delivered our photos quickly and even sent us a photo keepsake for Christmas. I can’t wait to use her for our future family sessions! I highly recommend!

ior to the wedding and created a timeline for our day, a much better one than my actual wedding planner created! Emily wanted to know what moments of my wedding were the most important to me as well as if I had a certain style of photography I liked. She communicated well with the other vendors at my wedding, was not shy or afraid to take a lead- since my planner was definitely lacking. Emily is personal and truly cares about her work! I received so many beautiful pictures that we will treasure for a lifetime.
She takes great photos! Was able to help us do multiple poses without us having to look up all of them on our own. And got the photos to us in a timely manner!
Not only is Emily a warm and welcoming person! But also so fun!! She made posing for my husband and I so exciting and constant movement! This made us feel comfortable and confiden...
t! She is a hard and fast worker and always communicates everything!! She helped our timeline for our wedding move quicker and was so fast but efficient when taking our photos after our Ceremony! She is an amazing photographer and our photos turned out so beautifully!! So thankful to have her for our wedding photographer!!!
I couldn’t have chosen someone better to capture our wedding day!
Emily exceeded every expectation I had.
She’s so talented and professional at her work. She made sure I was heard ...
and my wedding day was everything I ever dreamed of.
I was absolutely blown away when I received our wedding photos, they are more than I could have ever imagined!
I will constantly choose Emily over and over again for any of my photography needs!
