My husband and I got married on 9.9.23, and we LOVED working with Emily!! When I tell you we interviewed a lot of photographers, I mean we talked to probably at least a dozen different photographers trying to find a good fit. There are a lot of talented photogs in the Akron/Cleveland area, and we probably wouldn’t have made the wrong choice with any of them, but when we talked to Emily, we immediately loved her matter-of-fact confidence and calmness! For someone like me, an artist who has a ton of ideas and a LOT of excitement around her wedding, and for my husband who is a veeerrry go with the flow kinda guy, Emily was the perfect choice! She was direct, honest, caring, and kept us on track throughout the whole process, but especially on wedding day itself! Our families are huge, and our guest list was almost 300 people. We wanted to do large extended family photos for all 4 sides of our families, and she made the process smooth and painless. She kept the day moving, made sure we got the important shots that would be meaningful for us, and helped us make gametime decisions when we were running a tad behind our schedule. Overall, I felt confident that we were going to have a lot of amazing pictures! After the wedding, we only got 5 shots as sneak peeks, which was definitely less than I anticipated, but we got them literally the next day, so that was awesome! Then she sent a highlight gallery a little less than 2 months later with about 100 photos. That was really fun because we were able to use some wedding pics for our holiday card!! Then we got our full gallery, and let me tell you, we are STILL blown away! We got over 2000 photos back which she says is more than usual because I am an artist and hand painted a lot of the decor for the wedding, and she was SO thorough in capturing those details!! I have loved getting to share these photos with family and friends, and we are so beyond pleased that we get to have these pictures for the rest of our lives! We definitely hope to be able to hire Emily again for other big milestones throughout our lives:)
Emily is hands down the best photographer in Cleveland. She’s so easy and fun to work with, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. Our photos are absolute perfection and are so special to us. I’m so thankful that we were able to work with her!
We had the absolute BEST experience with Emily!! She was beyond helpful from the first time we spoke (giving us great suggestions for timeline, photo locations, bridal party, etc), and truly carried our wedding day. I definitely underestimated the need for a true wedding planner, and Emily stepped up and essentially became our planner for the day. She kept everything and everyone on track, which resulted in zero stress for me and the most organized wedding day I could have imagined. The photos themselves are SO stunning and we could not be happier with them! Her attention to detail and talent is unmatched. We also loved the opportunity to go into the studio to view the photos with her- such a special touch that I wasn’t expecting. I would (and will) highly recommend Emily to anyone!!
If I could leave Emily 100000 stars I would! From the moment I reached out to Emily, she became a friend and a part of our family. Emily has the most detailed eye, kind soul, and truly cares for her clients. I cannot tell you enough how comfortable she made us feel during photos and how capable she is when managing a group of people for photos (not everyone’s fav activity but Emily makes it easy). Working with Emily was the gift of a lifetime and trust me, we will never do photos with anyone else!
Emily is truly the best photographer that you could ask for on your wedding day. She is organized, knowledgeable, and of course amazing at getting the perfect shot from every angle. I am so glad I had her on my wedding day - she took charge of organizing family and friends for photos, moving people along through locations, and finding settings that lead to the best photos. I cannot recommend her enough for your wedding!
Emily and her team were absolutely incredible! I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about her. She not only planned, shot and edited our engagement session, making it an exciting experience to kick off our engagement. But she then helped with my day-of timeline, working with my coordinator and me to make sure we captured all of the important moments. She and her team got beautiful detail shots and she helped keep us on time with first looks and travel offsite (which can get pretty hectic!) Emily went so far above and beyond her duties to get us our dream shots and I will forever be grateful to her! She expertly took control during the family portraits and somehow managed to get beautiful shots of large groups of family members and uncooperative children within the allotted time.
Finally, our images are stunning and I continue to look back through the massive catalog and relive our special day. She’s done a brilliant job with editing and printing of our urgently needed prints and I can’t wait to work with her to build our albums and enlarged prints. She captured our day for a lifetime and was the best investment we could have made for our wedding day.
She’s a dream of a human that brings her kind heart, experience and professional skillset to any event! 10/10 would recommend!
Where do I begin. Emily was the conductor that kept the train on the tracks for our wedding day. She is so down to earth yet professional. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable. In addition, to all of that she did an AMAZING job capturing our day. She did not miss a shot and our photos really tell the story of the day. Our guests mentioned moments we did not get to see, and sure enough she was able to capture them for us to look back on. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos, they are truly stunning. I can not recommend her more. BEST CLEVELAND PHOTOGRAPHER!
My husband & I couldn’t be happier that we hired Emily as our wedding photographer! She did a beautiful job with both our engagement & wedding photos (we’ve also received so many compliments). She gave a lot of great advice every step of the way & you can tell she truly wants her couples to have the best wedding day possible. Thank you, Emily!
Emily is a pro's pro. She handled herself with class at every juncture, and was a huge reason why our wedding was so special. Emily, her qualities, and her craftsmanship are the secret ingredients to any successful event. I could not recommend her any more. She's the best.
Emily is absolutely AMAZING! From our first meeting almost two years before our wedding to our wedding day, Emily helped to make my husband and I feel calm and comfortable throughout each planning step. Her talent is unmatched. It was so easy to trust Emily with the task of capturing the special moments from the best day of our lives.. I could not have imagined a better outcome. I still look at our wedding photos daily- they are all STUNNING! We are grateful to Emily for capturing such beautiful moments that we will cherish forever.
Emily is an AMAZING photographer! Leading up to the wedding, Emily called me to help talk through my timeline and shot list to make sure that my husband and I got all the pictures we wanted and even had some location recommendations for photos. We had a very open communication and she was very easy to get in contact with in regards to any questions I had. Day of the wedding, Emily was basically our wedding coordinator and had no problem taking charge of the bridal party when need be. Several of my bridal party mentioned she was one of the best photographers they've experienced. She's efficient and has such a great eye for the perfect shot. We got sneak peeks back the day after our wedding and the pictures are GORGEOUS - I cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding pictures. You will absolutely not regret hiring Emily as your wedding photographer!!
Emily has been absolutely marvelous to work with! She paid attention to every detail, no matter how small, and felt like one of our friends or family who were there to help make our big day run so smoothly!
Both Emily and her second-shooter helped keep us on-time and helped move the day along seamlessly. The wedding day wouldn't have been as perfect without them!
Multiple family members also commented on how Emily's attention to detail didn't go unnoticed and made everyone feel so comfortable.
Emily spent time meeting with us and getting to know us leading up to the wedding, via calls, texts, email, and our engagement shoots! We're not the most comfortable in front of a camera all the time, and Emily helped guide us so we were never really 'posing' but moving and having fun for the most natural-looking photos!
I would recommend her again and again to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She really went above and beyond for us in many, many ways!
Emily is, not only incredibly talented, but she goes above and beyond to ensure you have the most seamless, unstressed, magical day. She cares about every, single detail and ensures she does everything to make you relaxed and enjoy the entire day! The memories she captures in her photos are ones we will cherish forever! She is personable, professional, and HIGHLY recommended! If you want photos that will stand out from everyone else, you’ll never regret choosing Emily Millay. We are so glad we did!!
From beginning to end, Emily Millay Photography was truly top tier – from pre-planning, to day-of execution, through to the final product/images delivered – every point exceeded our expectations. It was so enjoyable to have Emily (& her second shooter) by our side day-of; they kept us on time and looking good, while ensuring we had a great time. Our family and friends were very complimentary of their interactions with Emily & team. Emily is an amazing artist and the final collection of images she provided was absolutely outstanding – an incredible combination of candid real-time moments, detail shots, and crafted poses that seamlessly blend together. Thanks to Emily we are able to relive the most important day of our lives and share beautiful keepsakes with our family and friends. We are so grateful and highly recommend working with Emily Millay Photography.
I’m not even sure where to begin! From the very first consultation call, I knew Emily Millay was the perfect choice to photograph our wedding. Her kindness, sense of humor, down to earth personality and knowledge of the industry were immediately evident to me. Our engagement shoot came with our package and this was the perfect way to get to know her and capture some truly stunning photos that we ended up using for our save the dates. My now husband was so nervous before our engagement shoot because he has rarely been in front of the camera. We were given the perfect amount of direction while it still feeling like genuine, intimate moments between the two of us. By the time our wedding came along, it felt like Emily was a close friend. She worked closely with my planner and I to create a seamless photo timeline for the day. I had numerous tricky family situations to navigate that required a lot of sensitivity. She knocked it out of the park. Several times throughout the day, I felt like I could just exchange glances with her and she already knew what I was thinking and/or needed. Whether that was a switch up on positioning, a break, a sip of water, veil or dress adjustment, a different angle, etc. She (as well as her 2 assistant shooters) made everyone, including myself and my husband, feel so comfortable. And you would not have known at the end of the night that she had been with us for 16 hours!!! She continued to radiate positivity and good vibes nonstop the entire day and night.
When we got back our photos, we were completely blown away. They looked like photos out of the wedding magazines I had been flipping through the last year and a half. Each photo told a unique story and portrayed that particular moment in time on our wedding day beautifully.
All of our family and friends continue to rave about our photographer 6 months later. We are so grateful and cannot wait to use Emily Millay’s talent for all of our future milestones to come!!
Emily was absolutely fantastic for our wedding. Not only were her pictures stunning, natural, and beautiful, but she was great at taking charge during the wedding day. Whether it was directing traffic for family photos, making sure we got outdoor shots during the reception, or anything in between, she was a HUGE asset to make the day go smoothly. We’re so happy with our photos!
We can't say enough good things about Emily and working with her! Emily was very communicative throughout the planning process, and was super patient and understanding when we had to cancel and reschedule our wedding due to COVID. We were so grateful to still get to work with her on our new date. Since we were planning from out of state, we didn’t get a chance to meet Emily until our wedding weekend. She made a point of coming to meet us the night before so she could make use feel extra comfortable and take some tester shots. On the day of the wedding, Emily was incredibly organized and helped keep our chaotic crew on task. Family members and the wedding party all commented on how efficient, organized, and awesome working with Emily was. And this is nothing to say of the amazing pictures! While the pictures took a little longer to get back, they were well worth the wait. We loooove our photos – they feel magazine worthy! - and are so thrilled we got to work with Emily. I would recommend her to anyone in need of professional photos, and we hope to work with her for any of our future photos.
Emily is hands done the best photographer in town! She went above and beyond giving input on the wedding details and timeline. I felt like we had a wedding planner and photographer! The wedding day was a dream she suggested great picture locations and made everyone feel comfortable. You can tell she really loves what she does. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful! So happy we went with Emily!
COVID changed wedding date&plans brought us to Emily, and I'm so happy it did! I had seen some friends' photos that used Emily in the past and always thought they were beautiful - which OF COURSE I am still swooning over our photos. And let's face it, the photo results are a huge piece of it - but even more than just that, Emily became a friend throughout the process and on the day was able to give me such a peace of mind amidst stress and chaos. Here are a few ways that Emily was amazing, and that I think are KEY to a great photographer.
PHOTOS – Already said it, but worth saying again. Everyone who has seen them agrees they are magazine worthy! She also gave us such great variety of angles and backdrops in the shots. And god bless her second shooter (sister) who wondered to the balcony of our church and got some amazing aerial shots.
Keeping Control – She was able to keep family members moving and on track as well as hungry groomsmen who were over it. She constantly made sure to remind people to empty their pockets, straighten their ties, etc. – which those little things that make such a big difference in the photo result. Her persistence really benefitted us in the end!
Timing – Even though her contract is by the hour, she does not make you feel any stress of time on the day. She stayed extra for us until we both collectively felt like the best parts of the day were captured.
Electronic Delivery – The photo download process was so easy for us and our family. The link was also so great to send to aunts, uncles, etc. so they could scroll through and look for themselves.
Photo Reveal – Emily invited us to her studio to pop some bubbly and watch a reel of all our photos. Yes ALL. We sat for an hour+ reminiscing of the day as we saw the photos. It was such a sweet way to cap off years (literally) of wedding planning.
Highly would recommend Emily for all of your photo needs, especially your wedding!
Emily and Sophie were absolutely wonderful to work with! Emily made herself available before the wedding to answer all questions, make sure we were comfortable with details, and hype up the big day!! The day of the wedding, they were truly rockstars - our whole family fell in love with them. The sun decided to act up to 90 degrees for an outdoor wedding and they remained dedicated and professional throughout the heat. They found the spots with the best lighting, coordinated family photos, and captured all the magical moments. Emily was kind, warm, extremely helpful and made everyone she spoke with (and took photos of) feel special and beautiful. I would highly recommend Emily Millay Photography!
Emily was absolutely fantastic to work with! So professional! Our pictures turned out great and we’ll be using her in the future for all our family photo needs!
Emily was absolutely wonderful! She came highly recommended by multiple close friends so we were over the moon excited when she had our date available. I cannot say enough kind words about Emily. She truly is passionate about what she does and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Each time we spoke I felt more and more at ease and just trusted her process. Aside from the insanely beautiful pictures she was just such a pleasure to get to know and work with. Her genuine personality, attention to detail, experience and talent are truly what sets her apart. Thanks Emily for everything!
Working with Emily was a complete dream!
She acted as photographer and day of planned all in one while making us feel beautiful and relaxed , allowing us to enjoy every minute of our special day.
Emily worked with us months leading up to our wedding with engagement sessions, planning phone calls, and highlighting which pictures were most important to us. Additionally she provided advice that made our wedding day run smoothly for everyone involved. She even hosted us after the wedding to look at all our stunning photos with champagne 🥂
Emily’s work reflects her as a person- authentic, professional and timeless. We cannot say enough wonderful things about her work ethic and talent and have already referred multiple friends to her!
Thank you for capturing our big day and making us feel beautiful🥰
This is the best photographer hands down. She is so detailed and easy to work with. The pictures were absolutely perfect, she went above and beyond!!
Emily was the absolute best and captured every single moment perfectly. She has a way of coordinating the day of pictures that makes it feel stress free and so much fun. Her personality is so kind and calming. Using her company was the best decision I could have made. Thank you so much for making my special day, that much better!!
Emily is AMAZING!!! From the first meeting to wedding day she was beyond helpful and made the process so smooth. She really shined on the wedding day, when she knew exactly what to do every second even while also dodging possible rain! She always had a plan! She was helpful, kind, and confident in everything she did! Our pictures are beyond what we ever thought was possible! We will cherish them forever!
Emily is a top notch photographer. From the engagement photos, to all her and her team do on the wedding day, to the editing and presentation, everything she does is fantastic. My wife and I couldn’t be any happier with the experience we had with Emily. She was able to capture moments that we never even realized were happening and now have those moments forever thanks to her photography. I would 100% recommend Emily to anyone who is in need of a wedding photographer, everything she does is fantastic.
I don't even know where to begin with Emily. She is AMAZING! She was by far one of the best vendors I have ever worked with. Her kindness and compassion for me and my husband during this crazy pandemic was incredible. Her attention to detail and always getting the best shot is unparalleled. She truly cares about my husband and I made sure that we were happy all day. When looking for a wedding photographer I wanted someone with great vision, a great personality, and the ability to get the shot no matter what and that is Emily!!! I wish I could get married again so she could take more pictures. I PROMISE you that by choosing her, you will have the most gorgeous photos and you will get to spend time with one the best people I know!! She is the BEST and you will not regret it!!!
Emily is absolutely an all star! During COVID, she worked with us through all the changes to our wedding. She even drove 2+ hours for our wedding when that wasn't the original pre-COVID plan! She waa so thoughtful and considered every detail when capturing our wedding. Her photos are absolutely stunning and she was so fun to work with! If we could give her more stars, we would!!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily! As you can imagine, having a wedding planned during Covid was not easy. Emily stuck with us as we made plan B, C and D. Not only is she easy to talk to and instantly makes you want to be her friend her work is beyond amazing! She is so talented and I couldn’t imagine having our special day captured by anybody else!!
Emily is the most professional and talented photographer I’ve ever worked with. She made sure that every element of my wedding was captured. There was not one family member forgotten or one detail shot that wasn’t thought of. I cannot recommend her enough! She has such an amazing eye and makes all photos look effortless while still holding true to capturing the love between two people. Amazing!
I cannot put into words how amazing Emily was to work with. She always gives 100% effort and helped me through some really stressful times. During the pandemic, she checked in with me every week to see how I was feeling , since we had to change our wedding date. She had tons of clients going through the same thing, but she always made me feel like I was the only one. She is a selfless person that turns your wedding pictures into a fairytale. Emily's talent is gracefully capturing the moments you never want to forget.
We only met Emily on the day of our wedding, and she made us feel immediately at ease and we knew we were in good hands. She is a total professional while still being friendly and approachable, great with all of our family and friends. Her style is exactly what we were looking for and she was able to capture the vibes we wanted to in our photos. Plus, she sent us 10 teaser pictures within a week after our wedding!
I will never be able to say enough good things about working with Emily and her team. She photographed my sister's wedding last October and knew that I had to work with her for my wedding as well!
Working with Emily was like working with a friend. She was so kind, so thoughtful of every detail, always making sure we were comfortable, having fun and had unbelievable photos!! She made sure to capture unbelievable photos of me and my husband, but also our friends and family we cared most about. And they're all absolutely STUNNING. She finds beauty in every detail, and goes above and beyond in every way to make sure the day, the joy, and our personalities were captured.
Emily is a phenomenal artist! My husband and I could not be happier with the many photos that captured our wedding announcement and special day. Her photos are a wonderful way to relive the day! Emily is great at determining what you specifically want, and will take the time to plan this out well in advanced. She is terrific at managing a group of people and coordinating different photo locations. My husband and I have one signature pose (standing forward looking at the camera haha) - but Emily gave us great suggestions, which looked elegant and natural. We would recommend her for any couple!! Thanks so much, Emily! YDB.
I cannot say enough about Emily! She is beyond talented and is so lovely to work with. My husband and I had admired her work for years and knew she would capture our wedding one day. When the date was set, Emily was one of the first people I called because we couldn’t imagine having any other photographer. When I saw our sneak peak, the photos truly took my breath away. They turned out beautifully! Our love and joy truly shined through the photos Emily took. Going through our album, you can feel the exact emotions everyone was feeling that day. I still get choked up looking at our pictures because they were stunning. Not only is Emily talented but she’s so fun to be around. She kept everyone calm and made sure we stuck to our timeline. I never realized how important that was until our wedding day. I can’t recommend Emily enough! Whenever I get the chance to make wedding recommendations, Emily is at the top of my list! BOOK EMILY!! :)
Words truly cannot do justice to how amazing Emily was throughout our wedding and the entire process. She walked us through carefully every step of the way, advised us on what to expect, and genuinely made our big day unforgettable. Her direction throughout the ceremony and eye for scenery couldn’t be duplicated. Emily is a magician behind the camera. When our photos came out, they exceeded our expectations. We were left speechless by the sheer detail that she was able to capture in each photo. We couldn’t recommend her enough.
We had a destination wedding on Put-in-Bay in Lake Erie. Because of Emily, we are able to remember the best day ever. She creates a story in photographs. She is such a talent, with an amazing eye and attention to detail.
If I could give Emily 100 stars I would!! Emily traveled to Italy alone to document our wedding day at the days leading up to it. She turned out to not only be our photographer capturing very detailed moment, but she put EVERYONE at ease. She is truly a professional at her passion—-people! I will forever be grateful to Emily not only for the moments she captured, but the moments she helped to create!
We are so fortunate to have used Emily for our engagement shoot and wedding. Words cannot fully describe how amazing the experience was from start to finish. I was stressed about the logistics of the wedding and Emily was thoughtful, patient, and helped eased our nerves before the wedding and on our wedding day. Emily and her team capture everything they shoot so beautifully, every little detail is included in the final result. Her photography is true art! Our friends and family are still saying how beautiful our pictures turned out.
In the end, Emily and her team are amazing at capturing the emotion in key lifetime events in a way that’s fun, personable, and artistic. My husband and I are already talking about using Emily to capture future important milestones in our life.
Thank you so much, Emily Millay Photography!
No words will ever be able to describe the memories that Emily captures and cements into history. She really is the cream of the crop and we couldn’t have asked more for a vendor and now friend. Not only is she amazing at her work, she is an ever better human being. Her heart and soul shine through each and every photo that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We continue to sift through our photos and find even more gems each and every time. I loved working with Emily and will recommend her hands down to anyone who needs a photographer.
Emily is truly the kindest, most talented, and caring person I have ever worked with. As a Bride and working along side of her as a vendor, she cares so much about her work and her clients. She takes the time to get to know you and your family, to make sure your day is best day ever! Her photos are a true piece or art and no detail went un-photographed. Looking back through our wedding photos, we are placed right back in that moment. They are all so beautiful and amazing. We love reliving all the candid moments all over again through her photos. She's a true artist and made our wedding day perfect!!
I will never stop being obsessed with my pictures. Emily perfectly captured all the happiness and love and family in both our wedding pictures and engagement pictures. When I first spoke with Emily she made it a point to let me know that she wants to get to know me and my life and my personality in order to be able to capture who and what I am in all of my pictures. Since that first phone call she never fell short! My engagement pictures were exactly what I wanted and described me and my husband so well and she made what can be an awkward shoot of kisses into a truly fun and enjoyable day in the park with my husband! Emily is not only good at photography but she is a good friend! She genuinely cared about me and making sure my special day was exactly what I wanted. She gave me advice and tips for all things wedding related including the invitations and day of weather handling and so much more! When it comes to my wedding photos I can not possibly get enough of them. They capture every single little moment from the night, she takes several pictures of the guests as well. It makes me so happy seeing the happiness in all of my guests faces. She focuses a lot on family and friends which I love. As much as the decor and material things of the day are important and need photographed, she knows the most important and endeared photos are the ones of the people and the events. Overall there is nothing I would have changed or corrected in my experience with Emily as a photographer. Thank you, Emily!
Emily will make your day most memorable, much easier, and well-run. She knows how stressful a wedding day can be, and goes above and beyond to omit any anxiety or worry from your day. In fact, she puts you at ease with fun and positivity.
Family members and wedding guests were singing Emily’s praises as her disposition is warm and approachable.
We thank Emily for the day, and the fabulous photos that we will have forever. I cannot recommend Emily enough!
My now wife and I got married about 4 months ago, and I don’t know how to thank Emily more. Emily not only organized all the photography sessions, she helped us navigate every facet on our wedding day. Without her professional and proactive approach, I don’t think things would’ve run as smoothly as they did. I forever thank Her for her devotion and hard work.
Emily shot our engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. We could not be happier with the images - she captured us so naturally and found the most beautiful ways to bring out our emotions and incorporate the beauty of our hometown of Cleveland. We had rain on our wedding day but I wasn’t worried at all because Emily had a backup plan for indoor and outdoor photos - the photos became more charming because of the drizzle and she knew the exact spots indoors to get the best light. Whenever we show our wedding photos to people their first reaction is to say how talented our photographer is, and we completely agree. We love that our photos really look like us, with a natural, polished, and classic vibe. We are so happy we had Emily come to our rehearsal dinner because the moments she captured are so meaningful and perfect. When it is all said and done, your photos are what you have for the rest of your life to remember that day, and my family and I are absolutely so thankful for Emily because our photos will absolutely stand the test of time and will be as beautiful in fifty years as they are today
When I look through my wedding photos, I can feel the depth of each moment, and it is not because I have an excellent memory, it is because my artist wedding photographer has a stunning eye for capturing color, composition, and emotion. Emily has given me the most elegant, timeless, and inspired fine art wedding photographs. She uses her own life experiences for inspiration to create and capture moments. She knows what's in her grandmother's wedding album and she knows the secrets her photographer father taught her. She is an old soul. She knows the emotion in each moment, but what makes her a true artist is that she can capture it in a way that will live on through old lives and young lives. In a modern society, she knows what classic is. These days everyone has a camera and anyone can take a picture. It is clear from my wedding photos, that Emily took photos that will allow my children and grandchildren to feel the depth of each moment captured. Not only do my photos look like they belong in vogue, but I know they will always be in style. As talented as she is, Emily works from her heart, and that's the reason she produces effortlessly timeless photographs.
Emily goes above and beyond to make sure your pictures are stunning and to ensure your wedding day is perfect. She is creative, attentive, and extremely talented! You spend a ton of time with your photographer on your wedding day and I feel so lucky that I had Emily by my side. Her attention to detail was amazing! We cannot thank her enough : )
Emily was the best! She was so attentive to details! We cannot wait to see the wedding pictures. Emily brought two assistants with her so every photo could be captured throughout the day and night. She was a pleasure to be with !
She’s the best at her art and does a wonderful job of managing family memebers. Even the annoying ones who pull you all over the place. Emily has a beautiful talent!
Watching Emily do what she loves as she captured my brother and his wife’s wedding day was my favorite! Her professionalism and love of details is like no one else! She makes everyone in front of the camera comfortable and captures the memorable raw moments, telling the whole story of the day! Her images are incredible and timeless! I recommend her to everyone I know!
From the moment we began wedding planning, my husband and I knew that Emily was our photographer of choice! Her work is absolutely incredible - soft and romantic, she has an eye for detail. Not only that, Emily took the lead on our wedding day - we never had to worry about our timeline. She made the whole experience personal, comfortable, so easy, and FUN, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Emily! She is the best!
Working in the bridal industry for 8+ years, I’ve had the pleasure to connect with and view the collections of so many talented photographers. Most seasoned photographers know the local venues with the best aesthetics, can operate on a timeline and will include all of the shots we as brides THINK we want...
What Emily does is so very different. She captures the moments that will become our life’s favorite memories; she sees the shots we could never have thought to request because raw emotion and expression can’t be posed or planned for.
Emily can turn an empty field into a gorgeous backdrop and a grumpy two-year old, arms folded, into a photo I’ll love for as long as I live. Her work is her passion. She is an artist and a visionary; what’s more, her spirit is humble and her heart is kind.
I cannot more favorably recommend Emily as both a person and a professional. Thank you for being you :)
xo,
Kate
Emily far exceeded my expectations. She and her team were organized, efficient, thoughtful. Emily took great ownership of the timeline of the day being sure everything we needed to get done got done in a calm and joyful way. We did engagement photos with Emily prior to our wedding so when the main event came, it felt like our friend was there- not just a photographer. She helped us make a plan of the shots we wanted to get but also was fine with scratching the plan when the reception came and we just wanted to dance. Her second shooters, Nathan and Sophie, were equally talented and wonderful to be around. I felt at ease the whole day and trust she captured our wedding in alignment with our vision. I'm so, so grateful we chose Emily Millay as our wedding photographer.
There are no words to truly describe how amazing Emily Millay Photography is, but I will Give it a try! Emily was the photographer for my sisters wedding, in which I was the Maid of Honor. Not only were her pictures STUNNING but she made my sister and each and everyone in the party feel amazing. I loved her so much, when I got engaged 3 months later I called her right away to book her. She is even BETTER on the bride side. She drove over 250 miles to Cincinnati to do our engagement session and the photos are PERFECT! She also answers every text and question I throw her way! I could not ask for a better photographer turned friend and I know she will make my big day in May even more special! I cannot thank Emily enough!
Emily is just the best!!! Her photos are a work of art. She does a fabulous job capturing the moment, emotion and all. When we looked through our photos we really felt like we were right back where we stood on our special day. Not only are her photos stunning, but she truly has the qualities of a wedding photographer. We had a LARGE wedding party and she kept everyone on it. Our photos were organized and painless. Everyone thought it was so refreshing how well she handled such a large group! Most of all my husband and I felt like we were hanging out with our friend the whole day!! She’s super personable and relatable. And you’ll find how quickly you’ll be comfortable with her around. Thank you so much Emily!! You truly made this time of our life special!
Emily is honestly the best and I would highly recommend her to any bride. She is well known in the industry and very talented. Our pictures (engagement and wedding) were everything we wanted and more. She manages to capture every moment with the best lighting. We do not regret not booking a videographer because she honestly captured it all. Our friends and family were blown away on our wedding day with how amazing she was. One of my favorite things about Emily is that she is a great person. She cares so much about her clients and makes a relationship with them throughout the whole wedding process. Another thing I love about her is that she goes out of her way to make your wedding day perfect and not just with photography. There was one point where she was cleaning a stain out my dress, without being asked. She also told guests when to standing during the ceremony when our officiant forgot. I could rant and rave about Emily all day but the point is she is amazing is so many ways and worth every penny.
I don’t know where to start . Emily takes the most amazing, beautiful stunning shots . I knew I wanted her to capture our wedding well before I met my husband. That was one thing I was not willing to budge on . Her pictures tell a story. She is the most patient, thoughtful , caring person I have ever met. We were married October 13th of this year . She was with us for 12+ hours that day and took the time to explain to us what she was doing and why it is important to have certain shots from your wedding because these pictures you will have for the rest of your life . We are extremely happy with Emily. I cannot wait to see how our wedding pictures turned out . She also did our engagement pictures and those exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend Emily Millay Photography to anyone interested in hiring her !! You will not be disappointed!!!!
Emily Millay Photography is absolutely incredible! She recently shot our wedding in May of this year and perfectly captured every single aspect of our wedding. Every-time I go through our wedding photography I still tear up. :) Her and her team was extremely professional and Emily made sure to capture every single shot I wanted. I HIGHLY recommend her for every and any wedding!
Emily is fabulous! I have never seen a photographer that is more committed to getting “the perfect shot”! I have used her for several different events: family, engagement, and wedding. At my recent beach wedding in April, the weather decided to change on us, so I was very worried about pictures! Emily was very patient and very honest about the situation we were in. After taking a series of photos on the beach, she suggested we take another series in a different location because she wanted to ensure that I had photos that I loved! One of my favorite photos is from that second series of photos in location number two! I highly recommend Emily for any event. Her attention to detail, creative mind, and true passion for her job will not disappoint. I have never met someone that loves weddings more than Emily! Thank you, Emily, for providing us with beautiful memories of our special day 💕
