Emily Wren and her husband Gregg (Wren Films) are the ultimate power couple that you NEED capturing your wedding. We have been laughing and crying looking over the photos and videos in the very best way. It was an honor to have such a fun loving and energetic team capturing our special day. We had Emily, Gregg, Gabby, Nick, and Stan on photo/video for our wedding weekend, and the entire team are true professionals. The attention to detail is simply unparalleled. From adjusting the train of my dress to the perfect position, to micing my husband up for our private vows so we could record them but then physically giving us more space so the vows could feel private... Emily and her team know the precise moments when it's best that they disappear into the periphery versus when to get up close and personal with us to inject some humor into a moment with us. This sensitivity and awareness is key when photographing a wedding day and the team could not have executed their jobs more flawlessly. Stan did an incredible job with our film shots, Gabby was an absolute joy to work with at our rehearsal dinner, and Nick, clad with a miniature speaker on his belt loop, was on the money all day capturing the groomsmen and assisting as second shooter for the rest of the day. Emily, Gregg, and the team are not only true artists and professionals, but they are genuinely the most high quality humans and the exact type of people you want to surround you on the most important day of your life. We truly feel they are apart of our village now! It is a special privilege to share your wedding day with a couple who obviously loves each other so much because it uplifts the whole vibe of your day- trust me, hire them both!! Our only regret about hiring Emily Wren photography and Wren Films is that we don't have another event coming up in the near future. We're chomping at the bit for our next excuse to hire them again!
Working with Emily and Gregg was an absolute dream and one of the best decisions we made in our planning process! Their talent and kindness is immeasurable and hard to put into words. We knew we wanted to use both Emily and Gregg as soon as we saw their work and had preliminary conversations with them. They worked hard to ensure we (two brides) and our families were comfortable throughout our entire wedding planning process and especially on the wedding day. Not only were Emily and Gregg wonderful, but their entire photo and video team that day was also filled with immense talent and professionalism. The photos and videos they've delivered have been incredible and we can't wait to have another reason to use them for photo and video.
Getting the chance to work with Emily and her team was one of the highlights of our wedding planning experience. After checking out her work I knew I had to act quickly and was thrilled to be able to work with her!
From the start Emily makes this special time in your life feel that much more important - she was so kind and sent a sweet gift that included vow books we ended up using on our wedding day. The prep pre-wedding is also very efficient and helped guide other timelines for the big day.
Sarah on her team shot our engagement photos and our wedding day, along with her second shooter Stan. The photos are stunning and Sarah was great about keeping us on schedule and handling a very large bridal party with ease while also making taking tons of photos fun! Stan was a great addition and it was wonderful to have a second shooter - we knew everything was covered.
I will sound like a broken record to repeat after other reviewers but Emily’s style and editing is truly timeless. I can’t stop looking at the pictures and smiling at the moments that were captured. They are light, refreshing, beautiful and most importantly feel like us. Not overly produced like some wedding photos can be. This set of photos is something we will treasure and appreciate always, especially so many beautiful photos of us as a couple but also the people who love and support us. I recommend Emily and team without hesitation!
Any questions?
I simply cannot find the words to express how amazing Emily, Gregg, Nick, and Sam were. Hiring Emily for photography and her husband, Gregg, for videography was undoubtedly the best decision we made. From start to finish, Emily made the entire process effortless. She was exceptionally responsive and organized during the wedding planning phase. On the wedding day, I was absolutely blown away! Emily was on top of everything. We hadn’t met Gregg before our wedding day, but he instantly put us at ease with his warm and friendly demeanor. His kindness and professionalism shone through in every interaction. Nick was absolutely fantastic, bringing infectious energy and making the experience so much fun for the groomsmen. Sam was equally professional, kind, and attentive.
Overall, the entire team worked seamlessly together, and they were so enjoyable to be around throughout the day. We recently received our sneak peek, and Emily left my husband and me speechless. The photos are even better than we could have imagined, bringing us to tears. From the smallest moments to the biggest, she captured them all with incredible talent. It truly was the best day of our lives, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photography and videography team.
Emily did our engagement and wedding photos, and I could not be more happy with how they turned out and also the entire process! She was so organized, friendly, easy to work with and talented! She helped lay out the day and had great suggestions. Her work is timeless and beautiful, I could not recommend her more!
Emily Wren was incredible to work with! She was very organized and helped us to stay on schedule, and our wedding photos are GORGEOUS. She has great attention to detail and helped us to feel comfortable posing as well as capturing lots of great candids. We used her husband, Gregg, as our videographer, and he was also fantastic! We were so happy with our experience!
Emily Wren is by far the most talented photographer ever! I am always amazed how beautiful her photos are. She truly is exceptional!! If I could give her a million stars, I would! After all these years, Emily is an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. I first reached out to Emily Wren in 2016. Emily Wren has been there for every milestone in our journey, serving as our engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, and family session photographer. Each time, she has surpassed our expectations with her incredible talent and dedication.
Her ability to capture the most precious moments of our wedding day and family gatherings was nothing short of remarkable. Each photograph tells a story, evoking emotions that transport us back to those beautiful moments every time we look at them.
Not only is Emily Wren incredibly talented behind the lens, but her warm personality and genuine enthusiasm made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. She effortlessly put everyone at ease, resulting in natural, authentic images that truly reflect the love and joy shared on our special days. The attention to detail and creativity displayed in her work is unparalleled. From candid shots bursting with emotion to stunning portraits that showcase the essence of our family, every image is a masterpiece.
Her photographs are not just pictures to us. They are cherished memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you for your exceptional talent and dedication, Emily!!
It is impossible for me to sum up how fabulous Emily was as our wedding photographer. Between having our child and having to capture a 1 year old on such a chaos day, she got some photos that captured the beauty of our family perfectly. She was professional and kind, she had amazing ideas and she loved our party energy. She captured every moment of joy and happiness. The beauty of the pictures speak for themselves, we never had to worry about one thing she had everyone ready to go and made sure we got all our family photos and important people. She is beyond talented with her work and her team is AMAZING. Being one of the most important people on our wedding day, she exceeded every expectation. Our wedding photos are the best - they make me so filled with happiness and I can feel the pure celebration in every photo. Thank you Emily and Antony for making our day flawless.
Emily Wren has now captured maternity, newborn, and first year of life photos for both of my sons (in addition to our engagement and wedding photos). Emily is so warm and caring and is able to put everyone at ease in front of the camera no matter the circumstances. She is phenomenal with kids and makes each session feel effortless. Not to mention the photos she delivers are beautiful and feel authentic and timeless. We 100% recommend her services and will continue to be repeat customers!
10/10 experience working with this team! I worked directly with Emily leading up to and after the wedding day and we had Sarah as our lead photographer for the day of. This team is extremely organized, easy to communicate with, and their work is beautiful. The photos are absolutely stunning - the editing style is incredible from the daytime shots to the nighttime ones under the lights in the tent. They're timeless and modern at the same time and the team captured all the best moments of the day. I couldn't be happier with my choice to work with Emily & her team!
Emily and her team are such a critical part of weddings in our family. Before booking Emily I knew how fabulous her work was from my brothers wedding. Having her capture everlasting memories for my own day really put into perspective how amazing she truly is. Not only are Emily and her team so kind and caring during the day but the photos truly speak to the day we had.
Most importantly she made it so relaxing and fun-we even finished ahead of schedule!!! Emily made our wedding day so incredible, we couldn’t have asked for anything more!
Finding and choosing Emily Wren is the best decision we made for our wedding. Not only was Emily one of the kindest and easiest people to work with, but she also captured memories of our wedding that will last long beyond the day itself. Emily and her team were such a fun presence the entire day of our wedding -- We received so many compliments on our photographer/videographer team from our guests and other vendors. Emily and Gregg were the perfect blend of professional and creating a personalized experience that made us feel like old friends. Nick, our second shooter, was cracking us (and our guests) up all night long, and we were honored to have a beautiful married couple share our day with us. If you would like pictures that truly capture the love you have for your partner, look no further. All of our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined and the emotion that Emily, Gregg and her team were able to capture is absolutely breath taking. 11/10 experience and final products.
Emily and her team were the first and best thing we chose for our wedding this past October.
Starting with the basics, their quality of photos was exactly what you want (clean, elegant, timeless were the things I was hoping for and she massively delivered). The sheer amount of moments her team captured, even ones we missed day-of, were amazing and her process to contract, schedule for the day and deliver pictures were all very seamless.
Beyond these basics that every bride hopes for from their photographer, she and her team helped keep us on schedule for the entirety of the day so we didn’t run late and miss anything important, brought great energy to help calm nerves, and made the day feel so special and uniquely ours (even though they had shot our venue many times before).
If you are planning your wedding now and trying to decide whether or not to splurge on a photographer like Emily and her team, I would 100% recommend it!
I was immediately obsessed with Emily's photography style from the second I saw it on instagram. Once we booked with Emily, she immediately began getting us organized with amazing detail - including things I would have never thought of on my own (e.g., what time the flowers needed to be delivered to my room and loose blooms for invitation shots). She additionally helped to build out a complete timeline for our wedding day that flowed PERFECTLY, and as a bride who loves organization, Emily made me feel so at ease and taken care of.
Our experience on wedding day was also just perfect. We worked with Sarah and Michael, as well as video with Gregg - all 3 were hyping me up and making me feel so absolutely special on our special day, as well as capturing the love and joy of me and my husband as well as everyone around us. I can't say enough great things about Emily, Sarah, Michael and Gregg, I HIGHLY recommend them :)
Emily Wren & Associates were absolutely amazing to work with. As a September 2023 bride, I booked Emily Wren Photography immediately after getting engaged. With a light and airy editing style, I knew the photos of my wedding day would be gorgeous. Sarah McKay was our lead photographer for both our engagement shoot (included in our wedding day photographer package) and our wedding day. She was creative, direct and an absolute pleasure to be around. Both Sarah and Emily worked with us throughout the year leading up to the wedding to create a timeline that made sense based on our preferences (first look, family photos prior to ceremony, etc) and their years of event photography experience. After about 2 weeks or so, we just received our Sneak Peek album. Seeing these photos was like falling in love all over again. We cannot recommend Emily Wren Photography & Associates enough.
We recently received our pictures back from our wedding and WOW!! They are so beautiful. I felt like I was reliving the day all over again as I was going through them. Emily was such a pleasure to work with throughout this whole experience. She was very responsive about any questions that we had. We had Sarah as our lead photographer and Nick on our wedding day. They were so fun to work with and really ensured we stayed on our timeline. Sarah made sure that I got every shot that I wanted and did such an amazing job capturing the entire day. Sarah also did my engagement shoot and she was so flexible throughout the process. We had bad weather on the day of our shoot and she went out of her way to push the engagement shoot up to an earlier time to avoid the rain. It was such a pleasure working with Emily's entire team. I cannot recommend enough!
We had a great experience working with Emily and her team. Emily was so communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. Sarah was our lead photographer with Caroline as the second shooter. They were efficient, professional and incredible to work with! We had some rain on our wedding day and Sarah was able to navigate the challenge with ease, all while managing a 16 person bridal party and all of our immediate family to get every shot! They treated us like friends through the whole day, and really put a lot of care into our wedding. We could not imagine the day without the Emily Wren team. You will not regret working with Emily, the team will be the easiest and most professional vendor you work with for your wedding!
Having the opportunity to work with Emily & Nick to photograph our wedding was the most incredible experience and completely exceeded my expectations. Emily is incredibly organized, communicative, thorough, and an overall expert at her craft. She is a pleasure to work with from start to finish.
And Nick?! What. A. Gem. Emily and Nick are highly professional, kind, and the absolute best duo to be hanging with before /during your wedding.
Emily adds such beautiful details & surprises to her work. I couldn’t believe my eyes when she sent me all of the edited photos (in about a month nonetheless!). She & Nick captured so much love and joy. The photos are light, airy, romantic, and look completely authentic / candid.
While planning the wedding, a dear friend and newborn photographer herself, emphasized the importance of prioritizing your photographer when researching/budgeting for vendors. Best. Advice. Ever. We will cherish these photos forever! 💞
Hiring Emily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day, and we're eternally grateful for the beautiful and emotional photos she captured of us and our guests. Our friends and family can't stop raving about how kind, organized, and caring she and her team were; she made everyone feel comfortable (not posed or rushed) in front of the camera and kept the day moving with ease.
Not to mention, leading up to the wedding, Emily organized multiple meetings to iron out all the details, ensuring our timeline was custom to how we wanted the day to flow. When we had rain on our wedding day, she quickly pivoted and offered new solutions and locations to shoot, all while sticking to the timeline and limiting any stress. Save yourself some time and hire Emily as soon as you possibly can. She's a true artist whose caring nature exudes from her work.
From the moment we got engaged (honestly, even before then), I knew I wanted Emily to photograph our wedding. I had followed her on instagram for a while by then, and her ability to capture pure, authentic joy and love is, in my opinion, second to none. We met with Emily as soon as we picked our date and connected with her right away. She is kind, warm, and so supportive. Even when our wedding planning became a disaster, and we changed venues to an entirely different state, her enthusiasm for us and her commitment to our day never wavered. On our wedding day, she and her husband Gregg radiated the same joy and enthusiasm as us. We felt so comfortable with them capturing our day, like our best friends were behind the cameras. Our photos came out perfect, even more than I thought possible. She never felt intrusive in moments, blending into the background, but ensuring every photo we wanted was captured. Her editing style is timeless and authentic, which was important to us both as an interracial couple (usually, filters tend to flatter one of us more than the other).
Gregg was our videographer, too, and he needs as much of a loving shout out as Emily. We hadn’t met Gregg prior to our wedding day, but we knew having a husband & wife team would result in magic. We were right! Every time I watch our video back, I cry like a baby. Gregg caught the most beautiful moments of our day, even moments I missed myself. Paired with our photos, our day really comes alive again. Watching Emily and Gregg bounce ideas off each other, too, was such a fun experience. The best advice I have for brides is: (1) do not skip videography, and (2) if you book Emily, you have to book Gregg, too!
If it isn’t obvious enough already, from the bottom of my heart I cannot say enough good things about Emily, Gregg, and their teams. If we could do it all again with them, I would in a heartbeat. For us, we knew photos and video would be the most important investment so the memories of our day never leave us. I couldn’t be any happier with the memories we will have for the rest of our lives, and can’t wait to share them with our children one day.
Our family has been working with Emily Wren since 2016. She first captured our engagement photos followed by our Wedding Day. Shorty after we welcomed our first child and she was by our side to document the first year (a newborn session, a 6 month session and a 1 year session). Now, here we are one year after welcoming our second child and we just finished up documenting the first year with Emily again. To say it’s an absolute pleasure to work with Emily is an understatement. Not only does she capture the most beautiful natural photographs but she’s so incredibly kind and professional and makes everyone, including very energetic toddlers and exhausted parents comfortable and at ease! She’s flexible and accommodating and always catches those most special and perfect moments in her photographs. We’ve worked together in every kind of setting over the last nearly 7 years, from the city to the suburbs to the beach to woodsy parks and across all 4 of the seasons! Our home is filled with her beautiful work. We receive so many compliments on all of the photos she’s taken over the years. Our extended family still raves about the work she did for our wedding back in 2016! We highly recommend Emily Wren Photography whether you’re newly engaged, expanding your family or simply looking to capture a moment in time with your family. We know you will be just as delighted as we are with her truly gorgeous work!
Our wedding day was captured brilliantly by Emily's team. Sarah and Talya were consummate professionals from start to finish. They ensured we got every shot we wanted, and were happy to take our feedback to avoid shots we did not want. The two of them knew when to take charge and corral large groups of people, as well as fade to the background to capture intimate moments. We were so excited to get our hands on both the Sneak Peek and full set of photos, and we couldn't be happier with the look and quality of the photos. We would absolutely recommend Emily, Sarah, and Talya to anyone getting married in the Philly area.
Emily Wren was the first vendor we booked after the venue and it was one of the best decisions, we made during the entire wedding process! Photography is so important to us and we knew Emily and her team were the best through reviews and following her on social media for a few years prior to getting engaged. Not only is her editing beautiful but also, she has an eye for capturing the perfect moment and capturing the light in such a way that makes her photos stand out. After first inquiring, Emily sent over a beautiful and professional package with her story, photo packages and pricing. We decided to book the package that allowed us to include an engagement shoot and I definitely recommend! It was a great way to get to know Emily a bit before the wedding and her shooting style. During the entire process everything was a breeze. She responded right away, gave us an easy way to schedule any meeting with her and a very detailed timeline for the wedding day! She even hopped on a call with our planner to make sure everyone was on the same page. During the day of the wedding Emily and her associate photographer Caroline were wonderful to work with. Together they were able to capture all the moments we wanted to remember and all the ones we weren't there to see. They knew exactly when and where to make suggestions and when and where to capture those impromptu moments. Ken especially appreciated Caroline keeping him and the groomsmen organized but light hearted before the ceremony. We are forever grateful for Emily Wren and her team capturing our day. The photos are stunning, beautifully captured and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives! We cannot wait to see how the wedding album turns out next and excited to continue to work with Emily for a couple months more. Her professionalism and wonderful personality made this whole process a pleasure for us. We could not recommend Emily and her team enough and hope to continue to have Emily capture more of our most important life moments in the future.
It was a pleasure working with Emily and her team. We couldn't have asked for better engagement and wedding pictures. She was able to capture our special day and exceeded our expectations. We are always getting asked about who out photographer was for our wedding. We could not recommend her enough.
Emily was the the first vendor I booked after choosing our venue. Photography and videography were incredibly important to me so I did a LOT of research and sent out a ton of inquiries. From the beginning, Emily was the perfect mix of professional, personable, and skillful. She sent over a beautiful and straight forward price guide, made it easy to schedule appointments, and answered all of my questions without hesitation. Emily was flexible with our engagement shoot date due to inclement weather, was the first of our vendors to send over a day-of schedule (and boy was it detailed - my type A planner heart was absolutely giddy), and completely put us at ease during our shoots (we are definitely not naturals). On our wedding day, Emily and her associate Nick were an absolute blast and pleasure to work with and be around. They did incredible work all while blending into the crowd and letting us enjoy our day to the fullest. The best thing a vendor can do for you is put your hearts and minds at ease and that is exactly what Emily did. Highly recommend!!!
We loved working with Emily and her team for our wedding, they were spectacular!! From the beginning they sent us a lovely gift to congratulate us on our engagement, to being professional/making it feel natural during our engagement shoot and to being timely, professional, and fun throughout our wedding day. They really made it easy and not stressful, especially as a bride who doesn’t like her photo taken ;) We booked Sarah as our lead photographer and she was AMAZING!! She kept everyone moving and made the day effortless, we were on time for everything! We couldn’t have asked for a better capture of our special day and highly recommend Emily and her team, they are all truly special :)
Plainly and directly spoken, having chosen Emily Wren Photography was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. Emily did our engagement photos months earlier, and from that initial experience, we knew we had hired a kind, capable photographer to capture Us the way we envisioned. Come the day of our wedding, Emily, along with her teammate Nick, took it one step further, deftly capturing not just all of our most important moments, but all of the seemingly little details that made our day special.
Their ability to help organize our time made sure we didn’t stress when organizing all our different group shots to get all the combinations of photos we wanted, and their guidance and flexibility ensured no little moment or detail was missed. They organically worked with us, and they felt like integral parts of our event… we still have guests who give us compliments on how impressed they were with our photography crew, and a few couples asked us for details for their own events ahead!!
We can’t thank Emily and her team enough and are so happy with their work. Wholeheartedly recommend Emily Wren photography for any couple looking to capture their wedding in its best light!
From her responsiveness, honesty, kind demeanor, and beautiful work, Emily is the best of the best! She is so extremely talented and we couldn’t be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. Despite not doing an engagement shoot, Emily was able to get to know us prior to our wedding and suggest all of the best poses for my husband and I on the day of. Her calm yet fun personality was a perfect match for me and my girls while we were getting ready and during bridal party photos. Her associate Nick (our second shooter) is a breath of fresh air and brought the energy to keep the nerves at bay. We were also very lucky to have had Nick capture a special small backyard “wedding” last year with my 95 year old grandfather. These pictures from Emily and Nick are ones we will truly cherish forever and we couldn’t be more grateful for the role they played in our wedding(s)!
Getting Emily and her husband, Gregg, to capture our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our whole wedding. From the first phone call, Emily was so warm and easy to work with and made us feel like were in great hands - she understood exactly what we wanted and assuaged all of our fears. We had the same experience when we later decided to add on videography and had a phone call with her husband, Gregg. On the day of, Emily and Gregg made my husband and me, who are both pretty awkward in front of the camera, feel completely at ease. They were not at all intrusive but made sure to grab us for shots and gave us just enough direction, capturing the most natural shots of us and the vibe of the whole wedding. They were such a delight to have around and went above and beyond their duties as photographer/videographer, even helping me with my bustle! The entire day we were feeling so thankful that we had the opportunity to work with them. After the day, Emily was very communicative about when we’d be getting everything and flexible about deadlines. We are absolutely thrilled with the end product and will forever be grateful to have gotten them as a team to capture our special day! Truly couldn’t recommend Emily and Gregg more highly.
Emily Wren is THE most incredible wedding photographer! She held meetings with us before the wedding to work out all the details and timelines, was on time and ready to go the day of, and took the most beautiful, natural, candid pictures with her second photographer Nick. My husband and I were worried we would look awkward because we didn't have an engagement photoshoot and we didn't practice our angles, but we were shocked how beautiful and natural we looked in every single photo. We also asked her to try to take photos of each of our guests to send in thank you cards, and our guests were obsessed with the pictures they got because they looked so great in them!
One other thing to note is Emily's editing skills. I've seen wedding pictures where photographers edit the pictures into oblivion and faces look washed out and almost mannequin-like. Emily's photos truly just made us look like the best versions of ourselves, and the way we look in our photos reflects how happy and beautiful we felt on our wedding day. Wedding photos will be the one tangible thing you will have after your wedding, so go for the best, and the best is Emily Wren!
We reserved our date with Emily within days of booking our venue because photography was such a high priority for us (and I had been secretly stalking her Instagram account for months before we even got engaged because I loved her photography style). Throughout our whole planning process, including our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Emily was incredibly sweet, professional, and also displayed such passion for her art. She was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera despite both my husband and I feeling nervous to be in the spotlight at first. The photos we have received are more beautiful than we could have imagined, and she captured all the genuine emotions we felt during our day. We keep looking back through our photos to relive the day and we are so happy that we were able to work with Emily and her second photographer, Angela! We cannot recommend Emily and her team enough if you want timeless, beautiful photos of your wedding day!
What a journey it has been with Emily and what an incredible job she has done at capturing every special moment along the way! From our first engagement shoot in Summer 2019, to our covid elopement and "Mini-mony" in a backyard on our original wedding date in May 2020, to our (many times rescheduled) wedding celebration in May 2022, Emily was along for the ride at every turn. No matter the circumstances (including less-than-ideal weather conditions on all 3 of these dates) Emily was there to support us while taking the most beautiful photos. Her talent is undeniable, but she is also extremely communicative and organized--you can tell how much she genuinely cares! We are so grateful that she was such an important part of these special moments in our lives and look forward to having her capture more of them in the years to come. Hiring her is one of the best wedding planning decisions you can possibly make!
Wow, we truly can't say enough good things about working with Emily Wren. As soon as we saw her portfolios online, we knew we wanted to work with her and her team, and we are SO glad we had the opportunity to do so. Emily made the process stress-free and easy for us from the beginning and we knew immediately we were in the best and most capable hands. Emily and her awesome associate photographer Nick Antony shot our wedding day. Because of their obvious expertise, efficiency and warmth, we were able to stay truly present and fully enjoy our wedding day like we'd always dreamed. In the end, we have STUNNING photos that capture the true feeling of the day and a photographic story that allows us to joyfully relive it over and over. We are forever grateful to Emily and Nick and we highly highly recommend booking them for your wedding!
Absolutely awesome photography and videography! We couldn't be happier. Super nice, organized, and professional!
One of the most valuable things you will need on your wedding day, is an absolutely amazing photographer to truly capture not just the moments of the day, but the essence of it. If you're looking for that - hire Emily and her team today! There aren't enough nice things I can say about Emily and her team. Not only is Emily professional, responsive, organized, flexible and a joy to work with, she is absolutely amazing at what she does. Our guests were so impressed with our engagement photos, they keep asking when we will receive pictures because they equally cannot wait to see what was captured on our special day!
One of the things we loved about Emily and her team most was their willingness to be flexible on our wedding day. Sadly Mother Nature didn't fully align with our plans and our day started out with rain, then cleared up in time for our ceremony. While most photographers could have chosen to cut down time on capturing certain shots, Emily and her team were creative in finding new locations to capture images, were constantly checking radar and the weather to sneak us outside when possible, and simply made the most of every opportunity in the day to ensure she captured everything we asked for and more.
If you're looking for someone to help you relive every moment of your special day, and fall in love all over again every time you look through your wedding album, Emily is hands down the photographer to hire and one of the best investments you will ever make on your wedding day!
Everything you read about Emily Wren Photography is true. The team is so professional, a pleasure to work with, and so talented.
For our May 2022 wedding we worked with Emily and Nick for photography and Gregg and David for video.
From the first call Emily made us feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. We did our engagement shoot with her in Old City, and it was a great way to get to know her, understand her style, and get more comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day. I would definitely recommend doing your engagement pictures with her too.
On the day of the wedding the team was all over it — they knew where they needed to be when, and kept us on schedule. The most impressive thing was that they did it in such a casual, comfortable way. It really kept the day feeling light and fun. Multiple people even commented on how well they blended into the day while still capturing all the moments, big and small.
I absolutely recommend working with Emily Wren Photography.
Short Story - Book Emily, you won't regret it! Long Story - We planned our wedding for June 2020 but of course had many, many date changes due to Covid. Emily and team were so professional, responsive, understanding, and helpful with every question, update, and request thrown at them and we know we weren't the only ones doing this! In 2019, we had a beautiful engagement session with our photographer Ashley who made us feel so comfortable and captured us perfectly. We were both a little nervous since we're not photographed often, but Ashley threw out some cues that made it all feel so natural. 18 months (and 3 date changes) later, our wedding day team of Ashley and Gabby continued the amazing work and captured everything we wanted from the perfect fall day! Gabby even gathered up some leaves to toss in the air for Ashley to capture as they fell around us! They worked well together to capture all the color and whimsical essence of everything. The final gallery that Emily shared with us was everything we could have wanted to have to remember our long awaited celebration! You will love working with Emily and team every step of the way!
I don't write reviews unless they are absolutely warranted, and I truly believe Emily deserves this one! She was an absolute dream to work with. Emily was extremely responsive, helpful, and so incredibly sweet. I never thought that a photographer could contribute so much to ease my nerves on my wedding day, but she really was a key player! Emily made me feel so relaxed, and she truly made the process so much fun :) I could not thank or recommend her enough for her skilled and professional work!
We found Emily on Instagram & instantly LOVED her work! All of her photos were so timeless, gorgeous & natural. There was something about her style that matched our vision & felt it would capture our day wonderfully. After touring our wedding venue, one of the many questions they asked was if we had a photographer in mind, my now husband & I looked at each other & both shared that Emily Wren was our top choice. Our point of contact for the venue replied, “if she is available book her! She is the best & a dream to work with.” That was all that we needed to hear to solidify things. She then replied that photography & videography are both such an important aspect of your day that you will have forever. She shared with us regrets she had for her own wedding day & not spending quality money for someone who could be the best storyteller.
From our first meeting, Emily not only made us feel relaxed & comfortable, she was just so genuine. It was clear she is an expert in her craft & absolutely adores her job. We got to know Emily during our engagement photo session. She continued to made us feel like an enhanced version of ourselves & captured our love even more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. Emily, her husband, Gregg, who was also our videographer & the rest of the team were simply the best!! We were lucky to have had Nick & James capture our day too— my gosh are they awesome! They truly kept things lighthearted & fun throughout the day. Not only are they all beyond talented, they are all such great human beings too. One example of their kind hearts & souls - I have a sister with special needs & absolutely despises the cold, without thinking, Gregg took off his jacket & gave it to her to stay warm in between photos. This simple action speaks volumes of how above & beyond everyone was willing to go for us & without question.
Emily, Gregg & the entire team had such a beautiful vision for our day. When weather & time were not fully on our side, Emily was our sense of calm. She was quick to think & made sure to have a back out plan. Together, they made everything even more perfect than we could have ever dreamed of. Our sneak peek alone is just phenomenal. We cannot wait to see the rest! Words cannot express our gratitude. Highly recommend Emily & her team capturing your wedding day or whatever it may be — you won’t regret it!
I originally hired Emily Wren and later rescheduled with her associates due to our COVID-delayed wedding. Though I was initially disappointed, her associates truly delivered. Gabby lead the team with her professional manner and ensured every shot I asked for was accounted for in a beautifully artistic way. Nick, the second shooter, was a burst of energy who kept the day light and fun. Later, Emily worked to edit all photos to feel consistent with her brand's light and airy style. Emily and her associates are top professionals in their field. They work closely with you through several meetings, questionnaires, and advice to deliver photography that meets your vision. I could not recommend Emily Wren & her associates more. Thank you for giving us the wedding photos of our dreams.
Emily was absolutely fantastic to work with from the engagement shoot to our wedding, and everything in between. She is professional, warm, responsive, and her quality of work is worth every penny. I hope to hire Emily to photograph future life events and I can't wait to be able to work with her again.
We do not have enough wonderful things to say about working with Emily Wren Photography! Emily was such a pleasure to work with - she was timely with her responses and organized throughout the whole process. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, we could not stop looking at them. Sarah and Anthony were able to capture so many unforgettable moments in such an authentic way at our wedding. In addition to their artistic talents, they were both professional and so fun to work with. We are forever grateful to have had our special day so effortlessly captured. We would absolutely recommend Emily Wren Photography. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Emily, Sarah, and Anthony.
Not only did we have the pleasure of working with Emily and her awesome team once, but we were lucky enough to have her photograph both our micro-wedding in 2020, and our larger celebration in 2021. She was incredibly fantastic to work with through the uncertainty of COVID and always made decisions based on safety, which we really appreciated. Our photos are stunning, and we are so glad we chose Emily to capture the true mood of each one of our events. To top it off, we used Emily's husband, Gregg, for videography. Our first video was gorgeous, and we are excitedly waiting to see what video-magic he made for our celebration! My husband and I have already been talking about using Emily for our family photos for years to come.
Hands down the most AMAZING wedding photographer!! My husband and I can't stop looking at all of the photos taken from our wedding day, one is simply more beautiful than the next. She captured everyone and everything perfectly that evening. I was also a covid bride, originally scheduled to be married on October 3, 2020 - but we unfortunately had to postpone to October 9, 2021. Emily and her entire team made the transition so effortless and easy for us. It also gave me another year to get to know Emily, and I am so happy to not only call her my wedding vendor, but a good friend. Without hesitation, I would book her over and over again. The light and airy photos are exactly what I wanted and now my best friends are getting engaged and looking into her as well for their weddings! Wish I could do the whole day over again, I wouldn't change one thing!
Whatever you do you, you HAVE to hire Emily Wren Photography for your wedding! Emily and her entire team were a dream to work with! They were so professional but also so fun and made everyone feel so comfortable! The pictures are truly to die for and we can’t stop looking at them. Thank you x 100000 Emily, Gregg, Nick, and Stan!
Emily Wren Photography is the kind of photography you pin on Instagram, Pinterest, and all wedding websites. It simply takes your breath away. Emily's professionalism, kindness, and easy going manner makes it a breeze to worth with her. She was fantastic when we rescheduled our wedding due to the pandemic, and didn't miss a beat with our new date. Although Emily wasn't available to take our photos, we were set up with Ashley and Nick on her team - and they were both fantastic! Ashley was our lead photographer, and she was so sweet, professional, and took beautiful photos - it was easy to follow her lead. Nick was a blast, and my husband loved having him with his group for the morning. They worked so well together and made the day so smooth! Emily's editing is beautiful and the photos turned out gorgeous!
Emily Wren and her team are the best in the business - hands down! From our very first meeting with Emily, we knew we were in excellent hands. Emily is professional, prompt, and gave incredibly valuable guidance and advice throughout the entire planning process. Through the craziness and unknowns of the pandemic- which eventually led to us postponing our wedding- Emily and her team were the calm in the storm. They made everything easy.
Fast forward two years to our wedding day: we worked with Emily’s associate Sarah for photography and Emily's husband Gregg for videography. The day-of team was such a blast and kept us smiling and laughing all day. Multiple guests came up to me to compliment how lovely (and fun) the team was. This positive energy definitely came through in the photos and video. We are eternally grateful to the Emily Wren team for all of their outstanding work in capturing our special day! Not only are they talented and professional, they’re genuinely kind people and I could not recommend them enough.
Emily Wren Photography was simply fantastic. They produced an excellent end-product of stills and video. Unlike many other wedding photographers we have experienced, they were able to capture the entire day for us while being totally unobtrusive. We would hire them again in an instant.
Emily Wren Photography puts most other photographer companies to shame. Throughout the wedding day, they were present but not noticeable. They dressed professionally. They took pictures of the significant family members and friends as well as capturing the environment. Their photographs were of extreme quality. They made sure to capture real time expressions and actions as well as organized family group. I loved how they incorporated the speeches into the video.
It is hard to put into words how thankful and lucky we are to have had Emily Wren capture our wedding day. She is INCREDIBLE. Emily and her team were hands down the greatest decision we made in planning our wedding. Her photographs never cease to amaze - so incredibly impressive it makes it difficult to narrow it down to just our favorites…we love them all! The aesthetic is exactly what we were looking for - It is amazing how she able to apply it to different scenarios such as our engagement photos in the city to our wedding on the beach. Not only are her photographs top notch, but Emily is the most professional and kind person. Throughout the planning process, she was excellent with communication and so easy to work with despite shifting of plans due to the pandemic. Another aspect that makes Emily stand out among the rest is her ability to make her clients feel comfortable - I have never been one to enjoy being photographed much, but I truly enjoy each moment being photographed by her. She and her team provided a ton of direction to ensure quality photos while remaining extremely calm and professional despite our HUGE/chaotic bridal party. Overall, I could not recommend Emily Wren photographer more. Our big day would not have been the same without her. THANK YOU Emily and team - we are so grateful for you and your work!
Wow. I can't fully put into words how wonderful Emily, Amber (her associate), Gregg (her husband/videographer), and their assistants were in documenting our special day. I saw her work on Instagram early on in my wedding vendor search and I immediately knew that I had to have her for our wedding day. Emily wasn't available for our date so we chose to go with one of her associates given the quality and excellence of their work as well and we were so happy we did! Amber was a joy to work with throughout the entire process. We had to reschedule our wedding from August 2020 to August 2021 due to COVID and Emily and her team were so accommodating. Amber was also able to do a engagement shoot for us even after we initially decided we didn't need one but then chose to do it during our year-long wait to have our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Emily and Amber were in contact multiple times to get our timeline right and were consistently available if we had to make any changes or wanted to make sure something was highlighted to them. Amber and Gabby (her assistant) were wonderful the day of our wedding and really made everyone feel comfortable and at ease given most of our bridal party (including my husband) don't like to take photographs! We also chose to include videography in our package which is offered by Emily's husband, Gregg, for current clients and we are SO glad that we did! Gregg was absolutely wonderful and truly knew how to capture the magic in our day. We've only seen sneak peek photos and a film teaser so far, but we're already blown away by the entire team's work. Thank you again for capturing our special day so flawlessly!
It's hard to put into words how grateful my husband and our families are for Emily Wren and her team. They were hands down our most valuable vendor. We booked Emily back in 2018; I discovered her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. My husband and I didn't think that both a photographer and videographer were necessary, so we were looking for a photographer that could capture our day perfectly. Emily and her team did just that.
Emily first photographed our engagement shoot at Valley Forge. Although we were both shy initially, our nerves quickly eased after working with Emily. Her directions are easy to follow and she laughs with you along the way. We knew from that moment that we had made one of the best decisions in hiring her.
A few months later in April, the nation shutdown, and my husband and I had to make the most difficult decision on whether or not to postpone our wedding. After consulting our parents and wedding coordinator at our venue, Emily was our next phone call. To this day, I cannot be more thankful for Emily's honesty that day. She not only recommended that we postpone, but helped us choose the next best date which was June 18, 2021. In the months that followed, Emily remained in contact with us as we put together our wedding timeline. We always say she was also like our wedding planner. Her expertise in the wedding industry and organization are a bonus in addition to her photography skills.
This was apparent the day of our wedding as well. Despite being 8-9 months pregnant (Emily delivered 2 weeks later), Emily showed up on our day along with Gabby and Nick. The whole wedding party had such a fun time working with all three. Similarly to Emily, Gabby and Nick went above and beyond; Gabby lent a helping hand with my nieces who were running around and Nick helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres. We recently received our finished photos (turn around was not even 2 months even after having a baby - amazing!), and we are simply blown away. Emily is extremely skilled in capturing the feelings and emotions of the day, which is what makes her stand out from other photographers. We didn't want the typical staged photos that you see again and again. If you are a couple who wants the same, do not hesitate and book with Emily Wren. Thank you again to Emily and her team. We love you guys!
Emily wasn’t available for our day, so she gave us several options for associate photographers. We chose Gabby, and we couldn’t have been happier. She and the second shooter captured all our candid moments and helped us feel comfortable for our portraits (which was no small feat because my now husband hates having his picture taken). They were on time and personable and gave us great instructions for posing for portraits.
Emily did the editing for our photos, and I was blown away. The quality of photos and the quality of editing was amazing. I can’t wait to hire her for future events. Seriously recommend Emily Wren and Associates
Emily Wren was a dream to work with for our wedding! Our photos turned out beautifully and we are so happy that we will have them to remember our wedding the rest of our lives. The photos really captured us as a couple and the atmosphere of our "modern romantic" wedding. Ahead of time, we reviewed all the specific portraits and photos we wanted with our photographer and we got everything we wanted and more! We had two photographers and they both kept us on task (with very large wedding parties and family shots) and followed our lead on the photos and backgrounds that were important to us. Both the posed and unposed photos are amazing and all of our family and friends agree that the pictures are stunning. Would highly recommend!
We used Emily Wren for our wedding on May 28th 2021. She was absolutely amazing in every way. She was so helpful in the months leading up to the wedding - thanks to her we had our “day of” timeline for our wedding party and other vendors 2 months in advance! So many smalls things that I didn’t think of - she was on top of everything! She is very professional, friendly, and will go the extra mile to get a great shot. We had a huge wedding party and the day of the wedding she kept us on schedule and gave us direction like I’ve never seen. We were all so impressed by her! Her second shooter Nick was fabulous. He was fun and friendly and my husband said he made all the guys feel totally comfortable. He cheered us on all day and made us feel like we looked like celebs! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We also did an engagement shoot with Emily which definitely was helpful to know what to expect not to mention the photos are beautiful. Love love love her and her work!
It was a pleasure to work with Emily Wren for our minimony in April 2021! From our first contact with Emily, she was highly responsive and professional. She took such care in getting to know us, our families and our plans for our wedding day. And her advance preparation of our shot list was incredibly helpful and thoughtful. On our wedding day, at our church and home, Emily put us and our families at ease and captured every moment and detail with grace. She instantly recognized the beauty in our church and home, and she composed such lovely shots. After our wedding day, Emily's delivery was far ahead of schedule and her photographs brought us to tears. Emily gave us the timeless, elegant and naturally beautiful photographs we had so hoped for, and we could not have had a better experience working together!
My wife and I were incredibly happy with our experience with Emily Wren and her entire team! Emily was super friendly from the first time we met her and she was very helpful as we laid out a timeline for our wedding day and shot list as well. We worked closely with one of her associates, Sarah, who shot our engagement session and wedding day. Sarah is great! Very friendly and immediately made us feel at ease when we first met her for our engagement session. Both Emily and Sarah (and Emily's husband Gregg) were so helpful throughout the entire planning process, we cannot thank them enough. The photos from both our engagement session and wedding day turned out even better than we could have hoped! Sarah was able to capture so many special moments throughout our wedding day and we absolutely love our pictures! We would 100% recommend Emily Wren to anyone looking for a wonderful photographer in the Philadelphia area!
We are so happy with Emily Wren's team!!! We had Gabby and Dustin for our wedding, and they were just incredible. We aren't the best at posing for pics, and neither was the majority of our wedding party (sorry!!! haha), we are an awkward crew...but, they were so easy to work with that several of our wedding party members even commented on how quick and painless all the group pictures went.
They went out of their way to scout some really cool spots in our building, and then set up lighting to pull off the shots, and I know a couple of those places couldn't have been easy. We got a sneak peek from Emily SO FAST, it was so exciting!! And turnaround on the entire album was so much quicker than we expected. They did such a beautiful job, and we are so happy we used them to capture the best day of our lives. Thank you so much!!!
I don't even know where to start!! Emily Wren & her team are simply the best in the business. Not only are they professional and extremely skilled, they are also a blast to work with. My husband and I (and our entire bridal party) truly enjoyed working with the team. They had us laughing on so many occasions, which produced such wonderful candid photos! Emily was so directive & helpful throughout the entire process. She never missed a beat, ensuring all the photographs we wanted captured, were captured. Emily is also so endearing and truly a master at her craft, which made the entire process so effortless for everyone involved. She is so helpful and responsive before, during, and after the wedding. Honestly, our wedding would not have been with the same without Emily & her team. It was truly beyond a pleasure to work with her!
Emily and her crew are absolutely amazing! I did a lot of research before my wedding in September and reached out to a few photographers and am EXTREMELY happy I went with Emily. They are super professional and easy to work with. I get compliments daily on how beautiful my photos are!
Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with! My husband and I worked with her for our engagement photos and our wedding day. We planned our wedding remotely, so Emily's flexibility with scheduling our engagement session for when we could travel to meet her was a great help during the wedding planning process. We had our photos taken in Old City, Philadelphia. Emily was very familiar with the best places in the neighborhood for photos and she had a creative approach to getting the best shots. She also was very thorough with asking us what we specifically wanted photographed for the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, she and her second shooter, Nick, captured so many special moments. Several of our wedding guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the positive and fun vibes Emily and Nick brought throughout the day. We are so happy with our photos, and we hope to work with Emily again!
My husband and I feel so fortunate we were lucky enough to work with Emily as our photographer. She as the first vendor we booked after signing our venue contact and we could not be happier.
It is obvious to see that Emily is extremely talented just by looking at her portfolio, but behind the beautiful photos is an extremely down to earth and professional photographer.
I almost felt as though Emily acted as my wedding planner because she helped to keep me so organized throughout the entire process and come up with a day of timeline to make sure the day off was not stressful. Nick was our second shooter and also did a fabulous job!
We are in LOVE with our wedding (an engagement!) photos and have received more compliments than we can count.
Emily Wren attracted us with her beautiful photography but won us over so with her kind personality and udder professionalism! Emily was proactive and organized leading up to our wedding. She helped us navigate through the planning process and calmed our “day-of” fears by laying out a perfectly executed timeline (she even edited it with us on a collaborative conference call!) On our big day, Emily and her second shooter Nick were so kind and fun to work with. They made us, our families and bridal party feel at ease. We’re so happy we made the decision to book Emily Wren photography - now we have beautiful memories to revisit time and time again!
I highly recommend Emily for all events! We used her for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Emily and her team made us feel at ease in front of the camera and she took cues from us on what was important to us and what was not. Our pictures turned out warm, natural and flattering and we could not be happier!
We met Emily at a venue open house and right away I knew I wanted to work with her! Emily is professional, easy to talk to, and so kind. She offered support throughout the entire process, from engagement shoots until our pictures were ready and delivered. We worked with her associates, Gabby and Nick, and they were incredible. They made everyone comfortable on our wedding day, and captured every single important moment and emotion. I would highly recommend Emily Wren Photography. They simply made our wedding day so special and we will cherish these photos forever.
Emily came recommended by our venue, and we could not have asked for a better team to do our photography and videography for our wedding! Emily, Greg and their team showed up early on the wedding day, and made us feel completely comfortable from the beginning. They were so much fun to have around throughout the whole night. They are professional, personable, and we have just the most wonderful photos now, to remember that day. Somehow they were able to perfectly capture the joy and excitement that we felt on that day. We are dragging our feet on choosing 100 for the album because we can’t choose! We will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives.
Emily and her team were absolutely incredible!! From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, everything was extremely organized, personable, and fun! Emily was very intuitive to our vision. The quality and artistry of the photos are beautiful. Highly recommend!!
From start to finish, it was awesome working with Emily Wren. My wife and I are thrilled with the photos, and would recommend Emily and her team to any couple!
Emily and her team were the absolute best. Everything from our first phone call, all the way through ordering prints was easy and comfortable. And they were an absolute blast to have around day-of. We truly could not have asked for a better team. And best part - the photos were more beautiful than we could have ever hoped for!
