ime we would get good photos rain or shine and just made sure we didn't have to worry about any of those details on our day. My husband and I just had to focus on having fun and being happy. Emma was really fun to work with - throughout the day she was cool, calm, patient and kind with everyone and in every situation. We can't thank her enough for all the prep work that went into making our day perfect and also the positivity she brought to our day of. Last but not least, the photos she took were beautiful! She captured all the joy & love we had that day and all the special moments. We already have them printed off and ready to hang in our home. She didn't miss a single special moment or special shot. I cannot recommend her enough!
