Emily and her husband Nicholas were an absolute pleasure to work with! They are amazing at what they do, and even my guests and wedding party commented on how great they were! They...
are extremely personable and always happy to check in and answer any questions you have when needed. They did an amazing job at group photos and asked in advance what main shots we definitely wanted to help get the bigger photos over ahead of time. They literally glided through the ceremony and reception like ghosts, you didn’t even know they were there. They were so quick and efficient! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!
Oh my goodness where to start! Since day one Emily has been exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. She always has this positive and bubbly personality that just brings...
all her photoshoots to life! When my (then) fiánce and I were doing our engagement session, it was absolutely freezing BUT Emily did not only just never complain (not even once!), she made us forget about the cold and embrace the opportunity to get beautiful pictures.
For our wedding, Emily completely out did herself! She joined my bridesmaids and I at the location where we were getting ready, and took a ton of gorgeous pictures. Then, she followed us to our "First Looks" location and again, took some amazing pictures. Emily then met us at our ceremony and reception location where she eminated so much energy and was able to magically capture our wedding.
To top it all off, Emily provided an array of stunning pictures as a preview only 1 week after our wedding, and provided our whole gallery not long after! Phenomenal.
My husband and I could not have asked for a better person than Emily to photograph our magical day. I highly highly recommend her!
Em is the BEST!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. We got married in June (in the midst of the shutdown) and we changed dates, switched venues and she was so accom...
modating and was up for anything. The photos are AMAZING and by far exceeded expectations. By the end of the night it felt like she was part of the family. We talked about our favorite part of the wedding and we both agreed doing the photos after the ceremony and photos of us in the water were our favorite. Em just made it SO much fun!
You won’t be disappointed if you book her.
I can’t say enough good things about Emily! We first met her when she was shooting my brothers wedding and immediately knew we would have her do our wedding. Not only is her work a...
bsolutely beautiful but so is she as a person. She is so outgoing and friendly, she immediately makes you feel like you’ve known her your whole lives which reflects in her work. We were so nervous for our engagement session since we’ve never had professional photos taken but she made us feel so comfortable and it was so much fun and our engagement photos are stunning. Can’t wait for our wedding with her next year, you know she’s great when our family is excited to see her again too!
She’s just magical in every way. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and to take amazing photos. After seeing our engagement photos I just can’t wait to have her...

We recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!!♥️
