Emily Pillon Photography

n, so I was under the impression that, looked great. I was very wrong about this. She photographed from very unflattering angles (double chins, eyes closed, hand in awkward positions, etc) and even left those in the final edits. Many photos are crooked or distorted, are grainy, beer cans and dead plants within frame. Emily seemed very professional on the day of our event but our photos do not reflect that. They look very amateur and like she rushed through them due to being weeks past the deadline we were given. Thankfully there are a handful of good shots of the guests, but only 2 of my husband and I that we don’t dislike. One thing I’m devastated about is that I have one photo with my mother, and she’s not even looking at the camera, she was so disappointed when I told her that was the only photo of us. There was no rush, in fact we had plenty of time left before guests arrived to do any redos. Our contract stated that we would be delivered our full gallery of edited images within 1 week. I did think this was a rather quick turn around time, so I didn’t follow up for a couple weeks. The deadline was 11/12/22, she confirmed by email that she would have our photos back no later than 11/22, ignored my emails before and after Thanksgiving holiday. Finally we received our photos on 12/3, no apology for the delay, partial refund, just her generic, “here’s your photos it was an honor to photograph your special day” email. To say I was disappointed by our photos is a huge understatement. I felt deceived by what we received vs. what was shown in her portfolio. I debated writing this review because I feel partially responsible for not doing more research (even though her ratings on Yelp and different wedding websites were all 4 and 5 star reviews). But at the end of the day, we didn’t get the pictures we wanted and we’ll never be able to capture that special moment in our lives again.
