Emma Cleary
Owner
After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in The Knot magazine. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

We are so grateful to have worked with Emma Cleary for our wedding! Emma was amazing to communicate with from day one. She answered all of our questions and set up a call with us to walk us through the process from start to finish. We loved Asya’s work and chose her as our lead photographer. She did our engagement photos and we knew instantly we made the right choice. They were stunning! Planning for the wedding photos was really seamless because Emma puts together a great document that you can edit as needed until the big day. On our wedding day, Asya joined us again, plus Anna, Michael & George. They were an awesome team and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. They also kept us calm and positive the entire day. We’re so grateful!

Our photographer Dimitri was amazing. He made the day fun and also did an excellent job with the photos. Emma communicated and coordinated seamlessly, and helped us select Dimitri to match the style we were looking for. We are so happy with our wedding photos and will be going back to them for any future events!

We chose Emma Cleary Photo as our wedding photographer and could not have been more happy with our experience! We specifically worked with Nino Gallego as our primary photographer. We first met him for our engagement photos in Central Park, which was a great way for us to get to know each other and get a little practice before the big day. Nino is super patient, has amazing attention to detail, and cares a lot about what he does. As two people who are not super comfortable in front of the camera, he was able to put us at ease right away and we actually had a lot of fun! Emma Cleary was very easy to communicate with via email/phone, and we received our finalized gallery of ~900 photos just one month after our wedding. HIGHLY recommend using Emma Cleary for any big event :)

The results from Emma Cleary Photo & Video were exactly what my wife and I were hoping for when it came to our wedding photos/video. The photos were so crisp and high definition, they look like they came straight out of a Hollywood movie. We LOVE the photos and how our photographers captured every moment of the day and all of our family/friends/bridal party. The video came out perfect and the editing was beautiful. Couldn't be happier with how everything came out, the videographers/photographers were so nice, accommodating, and truly made our day that much more special. Highly recommended!!!!

We booked Emma and her team for both our engagement photos and for our wedding day, and they were absolutely amazing throughout this entire process. Gabriel was our lead photographer, and he was joined on the wedding day by both Michelle and Michael (videographer). Emma was clear on every step of the process, responded quickly to any questions we had, and worked with us on what itinerary worked best for our scheduled wedding time. And, she made sure to always keep us updated on when/what to expect on the day-of and delivery of final products - she really put our minds at ease during this entire process. On the day of, Gabriel, Michelle, and Michael were absolutely lovely, and we love that - looking back on the memories they have helped us hold onto - they captured all of the joy and laughter that made the day so magical. We still get teary-eyed looking at all the photos and videos! We absolutely recommend booking Emma and her team!

We loved our wedding at the Stone House in Warren NJ, captured by the wonderful artists of Emma Cleary Photo and Video from specifically Ryan, Anna, and videographer Asya. Our special day was captured forever by pure talent! We felt so comfortable with the artists, they asked all the right questions from start to finish on the day and did great at managing and capturing the shots. Most importantly, Emma (the owner) is incredible. I could not have planned and executed my wedding without her services and immediate attention to detail, the timeline, the photos needed, suggestions/discussions, edits, services, she was everything I didn’t know I needed!!! So grateful for Emma Cleary and her talented artists on the greatest day of our lives. I felt confident, at ease, and supported, especially as two brides we felt so loved and comfortable with all of the team. Would highly recommend trusting this business with your event/day. In a heart beat. Thank you!

We used Emma Cleary Photography for our October wedding and are BEYOND thrilled with our photos!! Working with Emma was great, all the communications and contract were super clear and she was very easy to contact when we had questions. Massimo was our lead photographer (with Ryan as co-photog) and they were both incredible. Massimo helped us and our bridal party and family feel SO comfortable and made the process so smooth and easy--and the pictures speak for themselves! We had an extensive shot-list and he quickly worked through all of our requests, as well as pictures we never would have thought to ask for but ended up loving!! They were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I could not recommend them enough!

Emma and her team are FANTASTIC! My photographer was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding and upon our first meeting I knew they were the perfect fit. I went with Massimo as the lead photographer who also did our engagement shoot. It was so nice to meet with him and see his work before the wedding. Leading up to the big day they would check in to make sure all details were finalized. My wedding was very unique in that I had an Indian wedding and traditional wedding all in one day with multiple outfit changes. We had a lot to cover and Emma's team was more than up for the challenge. We had 2 photographers including Massimo and a videographer. They were extremely organized and creative to capture shots I would have never thought of on my own. When the previews came in I was in shock of how beautiful they were and now that I have all of the photos and videos I get to relive the day all over again with friends and family. I could not recommend Emma and her team enough for weddings and other big life moments!

We wish we could give Emma 10 stars. Her team was phenomenal from start to finish, and we could not be happier with our final gallery. Emma was extremely communicative from the very beginning; she answered our questions during our initial inquiry, matched us with amazing photographers (David and Anna) and a great videographer (Michael), and walked us through the most optimal schedule/itinerary. On the wedding day, David, Anna, and Michael made sure we got through every planned shot, as well as several others which they determined would work great (and many of these ended up being some of our favorites!). Not only that, we had such a fun time with them throughout the day. After the wedding, Emma quickly delivered beautiful preview photos and the full gallery. We cannot thank Emma and her team enough for the perfect experience. We have already recommended the team to our newly engaged friends!

Emma and team were absolutely amazing. We did a ton of research on photographers and videographers in the area that knew wedding venues and would know how to get the best photos and areas for taking them. We also couldn't agree on styles and when we found Emma Cleary Photo and Video we both fell in love with the styles, lightning and editing of the photos. We read the extensive backgrounds on all of the photographers and looked through each of their profiles. We worked with Gabriel and Michele and they were absolutely hands down one of the best parts of our day. They made it so fun for us in the First Look and to be honest, we didn't even know the videographers were there, that's how stealth they were the whole time. The team was so professional and kept everyone to the right time schedule. They called us out when the lighting was just right for sunset photos and they captured the 4th of July fireworks beautifully. The photos and videos are stunning, and Emma did an amazing job editing everything. We cannot recommend Emma Cleary Photo and Video enough and wish we had another event for them to shoot for us! :) Thank you Emma, Gabriel, Michele and our amazing team of videographers! You are amazing!

We could not have been happier with Massimo and Dmitri. They not only took incredible photos of us, our large family, and our friends, but kept us calm, made us feel special, and brought wonderful energy. Our friends and family all spoke highly of Massimo and Dmitri as well.
Highly recommend Emma Cleary for a stress-free wedding photography experience. From first consultation, to final delivery of our photos, we were wowed at every moment!

We had such a wonderful experience with Emma Cleary and her team. For our wedding day, we worked with Anna and Ryan, who were both fantastic. Prior to the event, we spoke with Anna, and she answered all our questions and allayed our concerns. She was very receptive to all of our thoughts. Once the big day arrived, Anna and Ryan were so prepared and completed everything seamlessly. There were some challenges with the weather, but Anna and Ryan were so flexible and readily worked around these issues with creative solutions. They were also both very calming presences throughout the day, even when the bridal party was running late due to transportation challenges. Finally, we are so happy with our photos; they turned out beautifully! We highly recommend Emma Cleary!

From the very first phone consultation, I knew I wanted to use Emma Cleary as our wedding photographer. Emma & her team just absolutely nailed it. It was as if they didn’t know the word “no!” They were super accommodating, very very responsive (which is absurdly hard to find in a wedding vendor), kind, understanding and adaptive. Emma and her team not only took breathtaking photos, but the photographers, Dmitri and Maurizio became my rocks throughout a stressful day. These photographers were there through every bump the day could throw and handled it with grace and experience. From needing to provide direction for poses, to capturing the little details, to moving furniture to capture the perfect photo, these photographers handled it all. The florist we used had made a mistake in the handle placement of my bouquet which was quite upsetting, but Maurizio stepped in and figured out a new way for me to hold it so that it looked beautiful for the photos. Any shot we wanted, no matter how difficult, they took and they nailed it. They really went the extra mile to make us feel special on this important day and it shows through the photos. Our photos were provided in such a timely manner and were just absolutely beautiful. We were honestly floored by the experience and even had wedding vendors, like our venue and our wedding coordinator, and even our guests talk about how much they loved our photographers. Emma and her team are worth every penny!

My wife Kayti and I had the best experience working with Emma and her team on our wedding day and every step of the way leading up to it.
Emma was incredibly responsive throughout the process, getting on Zoom with us while she was traveling internationally to talk us through what to expect, being extremely clear about how the wedding day photos would likely proceed, and being diligent in choosing great fits from her team who would be available on a holiday (we got married on New Year's Day.).
Anna and Angie were both kind and professional, and they were excellent to work with. We were incredibly pleased with the quality of the photos: I still can't believe how great everything came out across all of our portraits, candids, and shots of the venue itself.
If you're getting married in NYC you should strongly consider chatting with Emma and browsing her team's portfolio; one of the best decisions we made in the lead up to our special day.

Emma was an excellent communicator throughout the entire wedding planning experience. We were able to get beautiful engagement photos with our preferred photographer.
The day before our wedding our lead photographer was unable to attend. Emma reached out to me directly and provided us with a new lead photographer. That is the benefit of hiring a company and not an individual photographer .
Unfortunately, the company wasn’t able to accommodate our second photographer request so we had a totally new team that day.
It was a little hectic but They did the best they could do and I am grateful for the photos that we received.

Emma Cleary and her team were incredible to work with from start to finish. Emma helped us lay out our vision board for the wedding day and work through multiple revisions to the schedule and arrangements. Her guidance and willingness to answer our questions up until the day of made us feel at ease. Asya, our lead photographer, had a clear vision and calm demeanor that helped turn what could have been a very stressful day into one we could just enjoy. Taras, our second shooter, was easygoing and made the process fun. He had a few ideas for the shots that we never would have thought of and turned out to be some of our favorites. Asya and Taras worked seamlessly together and made us and our families and friends feel comfortable throughout the day. We are thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out, and we’ve also gotten so many compliments on them!

Emma and her team were incredible to work with! Massimo was our lead photographer and he kept the day moving to make sure we got all of our important shots so that I didn't have to! It helped that they shoot at our venue so often! Massimo was also very honest about what would work and how to make the most of our time. We appreciated this transparency and we have so many amazing shots as a result. Asya (videographer) and Michael (second shooter) were fantastic as well! The previews we have are so gorgeous we cannot wait for more! When looking for photographers, Emma spent the most time with me and walked me through ever single detail of the day. No other consultation even compared to what Emma and her team were offering and they delivered! There is a reason they have so many 5 star reviews!

Gabriel, Michael and George were all very professional and kind to our guests as well as helpful in providing instructions on how to pose, and we are really happy with how our wedding videos and photos turned out. We love how the footage is sharp and vibrant, and the videos have an elegant and professional feel to them. Emma was always very prompt in responding from day 1, and the entire experience working with her team has been such a pleasure. We also appreciate them accommodating our detailed requests on the photos and videos as it meant a lot to us. We are glad to have the happiest day of our lives captured so beautifully and are going to cherish these memories forever.

We are so happy we used Emma Cleary for our wedding photography and videography. From beginning to end she was attentive to detail and willing to work with us to make our fairytale come true!
We selected Linera to be our photographer. Linera met with my wedding planner and I a couple of days ahead of the wedding. We discussed my vision and concerns and she absolutely listened and delivered! Linera did a great job at capturing every special moment even in Central Park on a very hot day. She was wonderful to collaborate with and make my vision come to life in our photos. We are so grateful to Linera and the entire Emma Cleary team for delivering a product that we will have to remember our special day forever. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will listen to you, collaborate with you, be extremely professional, but also deliver her own creativity, Linera is the perfect choice.
Thank you also to the videographer! He did a great job at capturing both the romantic and fun moments with our guests.

The Emma Clearly Photography team were incredible to work with! We booked them for our July 2023 wedding and had the pleasure of working with Linera and Massimo for our photography. The team came recommended from our venue, Hotel Du Village. Even at the beginning of our planning process, Emma was extremely helpful and knowledgable. She provided a perfect timeline for us to use for the day which made the planning process a breeze. The kept us on track for first look, and ceremony and post ceremony events. Linera was our lead Bridal photographer and she gave amazing direction and advice. While doing our bridesmaids photos, she suggested some of my bridesmaids give me some Marriage advice during the shots, which was so thoughtful and made those photos even more special. Massimo was with the Groom and Groomsmen and really kept up with our rowdy group. He took beautiful serious photos, as well as some silly ones that the guys insisted on. The guys raved about him! He even took time during the night to come show us some beautiful pictures he took of our dog :)
Overall they both were such a pleasure to work with. We felt extremely comfortable with them during all of our photos and we are beyond happy with the end results. Linera offered great posing direction and was so patient with our family and large group. They took amazing candid and reception photos. They really captured what our guests were feeling and experiencing during the evening. We had our 3 year old nephew in the photos as well, and he did not want to be there lol, but some of the photos they took of him are my absolute favorite!
Emma Clearly Photography was our favorite vendor to work with. We have almost 800 beautiful photos from the day. Going through the photos made us feel like we were reliving our special day all over again. Not to mention the fast turn around time! We received all of our edited photos in less than 30 days from our wedding date, we were not expecting them that fast! We have been getting multiple compliments on the quality of these photos from friends and family as well. We would HIGHLY recommend Emmas team to anyone in need of photography and videography!

Special shout out to our lead photographer Massimo and his team who helped make our day was so special.

From the minute I found Emma Cleary Photography, I knew they were the business I wanted to hire for our big day.
Emma's background in fashion and editorial was a huge selling point for me, and then when we met her, we were sold completely on her professionalism and expertise, as well as the talented team of photographers she has to offer. We loved the look of Massimo's work and when it came time for the big day, it was clear he and Linera, the second lead, were the perfect pair. Our pictures came out exactly how we wanted them - real, timeless and absolutely beautiful.
We loved our experience and the finished product so much that we now wished we had invested in a videographer to capture even more memories, as we know Emma's team would have done this perfectly too.

After searching online, looking through albums and reading reviews- Emma Cleary did not disappoint. Not only are the pictures stunning, but Emma was so helpful and professional throughout this whole journey. She made my husband and I feel truly cared for and helped us make our wedding day magical. She was so quick to respond to any questions we had. Massimo and Linera did an amazing job with the photos. They were both so personable and easy to work with. We were getting compliments all night about how friendly our photographers were. They made us feel so comfortable and natural. Michael G and Michael D were our videographers and we cannot wait to see how the video turned out. They were both amazing as well! We are beyond happy and can’t recommend Emma and her team enough.

In the weeks leading up to our wedding they made sure that our shot list was perfect and we would have enough time to take all the photos we needed. On the day of, Dimitri, Massimo, Asya, and Michael were a joy to work with, they were so incredibly personable and made taking photos for hours actually very fun. We hadn't met any of them before our wedding day, but it honestly felt like we had been friends with them for years!

Where do I start? Emma Cleary Photography was one of the first companies we came across when searching for wedding photographers. We fell in love with the team’s work immediately! We had an initial consult, but hesitated to move forward, as this was above our initial budget for photography. After a few weeks of searching and looking at the work of other photographers, we kept coming back to Emma’s incredible work and the work of her team. We knew we had to increase our budget with photography, because Emma’s team would be worth it. It’s hands-down the BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE.
We called Emma back and let her know, we were increasing our budget just so we could have her team at our wedding!! We worked with Massimo as our Lead and Anna as the 2nd shooter. We had an early start (7am) and everyone was there on time and professional. And they brought energy with them! We shared with Emma, Massimo and Anna how important it was for traditional shots to be taken, but also, for other, unplanned, special moments with our family and friends be captured as well. They really went out of their way to capture our day in ways we never could have imagined. The team really captured the essence of every moment- nervousness, excitement, happiness, tears, joy and love.
We knew Emma Cleary’s team would be able to nail the vibe of the day, our individual styles and produce exquisite photos. And wow, the team OVERDELIVERED in every way. The quality of the images is seriously top-tier. The eyes of Massimo and Anna behind their lenses are unmatched. Spend the extra money on photography and book with the best: Emma Cleary. These will be your memories for a lifetime.
Also wanted to mention that Massimo and Anna worked flawlessly with our other vendor partners. Truly professional, in making sure each vendor could do their job effectively and all worked together respectfully. We really appreciated that.
Thanks again to Emma, Massimo and Anna- it was an absolute joy to have you capture this moment in our lives!

Emma and team were truly amazing at our September 2022 wedding. We had Linera and David for photo and Angel and Joseph for video. From my first phone call with Emma it was clear that she was so knowledgeable and professional, covering all details. She provided a clear timeline for the day and worked alongside my wedding planner to ensure timelines aligned properly. The team arrived on time the day of and kept us on track for first look, church ceremony, etc... All team members were friendly and fun and gave us creative direction, while making us feel so comfortable! They were such a pleasure and we are so happy with the end results. We didn't give much direction as to where we wanted our first look and group photos but they scouted out such perfect spots on our family farm where we had our wedding. The team has such a great eye for what they do! Our photo and video are so beautiful and we got so many compliments from friends and family!

Emma’s team was so amazing to work with from the moment they arrived at the hotel the morning of the big day. I was running behind schedule with hair and makeup but Massimo, Nino and Michael were so kind and did not rush us at all or add to any stress. My hair/ makeup artists and bridesmaids immediately commented on how nice and professional they were in handling the situation. The groomsmen loved Nino who photographed their getting ready shots at the hotel!
We had some weather issues due to the rain from Hurricane Ian and Massimo and Nino were still able to get amazing indoor and outdoor pictures. They prioritized getting my large family all together to ensure we hit everything in my shot list which was so appreciated and worked so hard all night long to make sure they didn’t miss a single moment. They worked so seamlessly I never even noticed them right next to me with their equipment during any of the events.
You spend so much time with photographers on the wedding day and I was so fortunate to be surrounded by such wonderful people who made the day even more fun! Highly recommend Emma Cleary for your big day!

Emma and the entire team were an integral part of helping us plan out all of the special moments and photos we wanted to capture for our wedding from the minute we first spoke. On the day of (December 2022 at The Ryland Inn), a winter storm had blown in with high winds and freezing temperatures, giving us some concern we would not be able to capture some of the photos. The photographers Massimo and Dimitri were true professionals, being able to adapt to the conditions with creativity and improvisation. Within a month, we received all of our photos with stunning quality. Friends and family continuously compliment our beautiful photos that we will forever cherish.

Emma Cleary’s team was nothing short of incredible! From the first moment I spoke with Emma, I knew her team is exactly what I wanted for photos and video for my wedding. She is extremely professional, and I could tell both from our conversation and from the photos and videos on her website that she takes her business very seriously and is excellent at what she does. Nazar was our lead photographer, and we loved him. He was kind enough to FaceTime with us before the wedding to allow us to get to know each other and feel more comfortable going into it on the day of. He was kind and personable, and gave us a lot of direction, which we wanted. He was great at keeping us on track and making sure we got all of the photos we wanted. Svyat was our 2nd photographer, and Edison and Michael D were our videographers. Every single one of them captured our wedding day absolutely beautifully. My husband and I had tears in our eyes looking back at the photos and watching both the highlight video and the feature film. From the soft romantic photos of the two of us, to the beautiful posed photos with the bridal party and family, to the fun, exciting photos of our guests having a great time at the reception - everything was exactly as we had hoped for and more. The editing of the videos was fabulous as well. Our wedding day was the happiest day of our lives, and we can’t thank Emma Cleary Photo & Video enough for allowing us to relive it over and over again and get the same exact feeling we had that day. Thank you!!

The most incredible team of people to work with for your wedding! I got married at The Plaza in NYC on October 8th. I reached out to a bunch of photo/video companies, but instantly felt a connection with Emma! She made me feel completely comfortable with the process leading up to the day of the wedding. Her team was incredible. I had the pleasure of working with Massimo as my lead photographer. He was calm, collected, listened to me and my family, was attentive, and most of all his photos were incredible. The day was captured perfectly from the moment we woke up and started getting ready. Emma's team was also able to last minute extend the day by arriving an hour earlier and leaving an hour later than initially expected. I truly couldn't have had a better experience. I just got my photos today & they were unreal. The photo touch ups and quality were out of this world. The pricing for the day was also extremely good - I got some insane quotes from other NYC/NJ photographers, and I feel like Emma really tried to work with me especially in such a busy wedding season. I could go on and go. It was such a beautiful day.

We hired Emma Cleary as our wedding photographer and videographer and are so glad that we did! From our initial meeting, all the way through post-wedding communication they have been responsive, kind, and so helpful. We got married in September, and in July decided to add on video services. Even during the busy wedding season Emma was able to secure a videographer for us just 2 months out. The team that shot our wedding day was great and easy to work with - Dimitri, Gabriel and Teddy. We did not have much experience in front of a camera and they knew exactly how to direct us to get the best photos and make us feel comfortable. Last but not least, our wedding photos were available to us in just 4.5 weeks and we are thrilled with how they came out! I cannot recommend Emma Cleary and her team enough - hire them!

Nazar gave me direction from the very beginning on all the right poses, ways to smile, etc. We just started getting our preview photos back and we are IN LOVE! We are so excited to see the rest.

I can't recommend Emma Cleary and her wonderful team enough. Emma responded quickly to our inquiry and followed our zoom introduction with a customized day-of itinerary that we were able to use as a guide for the rest of our vendors. Massimo, our lead photographer, shot our engagement photos (part of our package) which made the wedding photos even more natural as we already knew and trusted his vision.
On a personal note - when Massimo arrived the afternoon of the wedding it was the first time all day that I was able to relax: he immediately took charge of the room, moving people and things to where they needed to go to get the right shots and stay on schedule. He and Gabriel, our second photographer, were a great match for our wedding party and the pictures - which Emma edited and delivered within just weeks of our wedding! - came out stunning and captured all the special moments throughout the day and our group's energy.

Emma was amazing to work with from the very beginning. Very easy communication and explanation of the package/services and timing. Based on what I wanted my photos to look like, Emma recommended Asya as the lead photographer, Dimitri as the second shooter and Michael as the videographer. The team was so sweet and SO easy to work with. We felt totally comfortable with them from the moment they walked in. They were champs in 90 degree weather, running around the venue for the best photo ops! Asya was very careful to get every picture we requested from our shot list and she continued to make sure I looked my best throughout the evening by giving direction on poses and fixing my dress and hair.
Emma and her team quickly edited the pictures and gave me previews within 1 week. The full package of pictures only took about 3 weeks to be sent to us. Still waiting on the video, but if it is anything like the photos it'll be gorgeous. My husband and I look at the photos frequently and we've received so many compliments....that these photos are magazine worthy!

Emma owns the company and is extremely organized and responsive - it was helpful to have someone to coordinate with outside of the main artists. We worked with Massimo (photo) and Asya (video) at Ryland Inn and could not have been happier. I knew I wanted to work with Emma Cleary when she said she would edit out a trash-bag if a photographer dare take a photo with one in the background.
They were on time and knew how to keep things moving to get all the best photo ops on the estate. We even finished ahead of schedule which was wonderful - nice to have an extra minute to relax before the ceremony. We had the space clean/tidy for their arrival but they went the extra mile with rearranging a bookshelf to enhance the aesthetic. My mom had concerns that the videographers would be in the way but this was not the case - everyone blended in and I barely noticed them throughout the night. We spent about 10 minutes to take golden hour photos which was perfect - pictures worthwhile but we didn't miss anything.
I'm not sure if this is standard, but we also got the photos back in about a month which is nearly unheard of. We love them.
We did an engagement shoot as well and Massimo was flexible with scheduling. I loved the photos so much and knew not to worry about the big day.
Thankful we did the video since Grandma ended up missing the ceremony (logistics issues). The sound and quality is exceptional and I'm glad we have all the speeches and the full ceremony on tape. Emma offered a reasonable price if you add on the videographer.

Such an incredible team to work with! I absolutely LOVE how my pictures came out! We worked with Massimo for both my engagement pictures and wedding pictures, and he was wonderful to work with. He was professional, kind, patient, and just made us feel so comfortable on our big day.
The entire team from our wedding was incredible; they all worked together so seamlessly and made taking pictures such a joy.
I recommend them wholeheartedly!
