Emmalee is the absolute best. Her and her second photographer helped make sure the day was captured beautifully and ran smoothly. She worked so well with my vendors, made sure we looked good, and was just a blast to have with us all day. We had a large wedding with lots of portraits, and she ran the tightest ship. It was such a tight ship that even when we were running 45 minutes behind because our bus was running late, we still made it to the reception on time. I cannot recommend Emmalee enough to anyone getting married and looking for a photographer. If you want someone you can trust with one of the most important days of your life, Emmalee is your girl.
Emmalee is truly a WONDER!
We have had the pleasure of knowing her since 2019 and can confidently say that she is "stuck with us"! We were referred to Emmalee from a family friend for our wedding and she was fabulous throughout it! Although our plans were a bit wonky due to Covid, she was flexible, communicative, optimistic and just a great person to have in our corner! Since meeting her, she has photographed our family from couple to couple with a dog and now to couple with a dog and a baby ... she does it all!
I could not recommend Emmalee more! When you pick her, you are guaranteed a friend for life and top notch pictures!
Emmalee was absolutely incredible to work with! She did our engagement photos, and then photos for our delayed reception party post-COVID :)
The photos turned out amazing- she did a great job capturing the joy and fun of the party, all of the special moments, and so many fun surprises. She also was great at helping us get through the list of posed photos we wanted to make sure we had without taking too much time!
Emmalee is an absolute blast to work with and I'm so glad we had her photograph our party!
Emmalee was great to work with and made things very easy for us. She helped us pick a great location for pre-wedding pictures, helped organize our timeline and family photo sessions, and has great resources for saving and sharing the wedding photos. She worked our wedding of ~70 people by herself and took great pictures without being an interferrence in any way during the wedding day. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a quality photographer.
We have been working with Emmalee for 7 years now and absolutely love her work!! She photographed our engagement photos, our wedding, and now has done annual family photos for us for years. Her friendly personality makes us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. And every year she somehow manages to get beautiful shots, which include both of our small children looking at the camera and smiling!
Emmalee was absolutely FANTASTIC. She was so kind, fun, and was down for anything during the day of the wedding. She made us feel so taken care of and prepared and captured incredible moments throughout the night. Emmalee was truly a joy to work with and I can't sing her praises enough. Hire her for all of your photography needs, she's the best!
There are no words in any language that can properly describe my gratitude and sheer awe of the talent that is Emmalee Luckas. When my partner and I were looking for wedding photographers, not much thought went into it after Emmalee. We had our first sessions with her for our engagement shoot, and we confirmed then and there that we absolutely made the right decision. She made two incredibly camera shy people feel so at ease with everything and produced the best photos that I continually obsess over. She also showed so much love to our dog and captured the best photos of him. That alone earns her 5 stars.
She stayed with us through countless wedding reschedules thanks to the pandemic, eventually making it all the way to a DIFFERENT STATE to photograph our wedding. She went from Chicago all the way to Virginia for us. On this day is when I confirmed my suspicion that she is a wizard master behind the camera lens. Every single photo she took captured every ounce of love and joy from that day in a way that surpassed every single expectation I had (and just from seeing her past work, mine were very high). She’s so skilled at blending in to her surroundings but also being constantly present to ensure she catches every special moment you could have dreamed of.
I will never stop singing Emmalee’s praises to every person who will give me the time of day.
WOW! Emmalee was amazing from start to finish. Even from our initial chats and getting to know each other, she was super personable and fun - and asked all the right questions about what we were expecting from our photos! She responded to emails in a timely matter and was professional and well-organized. We had Engagement and Wedding photos done by Emmalee, and they all turned out GORGEOUS. She had a way of making us feel so comfortable, and gave us great guidance durng the photo shoots (since of course we had no idea what we were doing). Even our guests at the wedding kept asking us "Who is your photographer?? She is so fun!". She also worked extremely well with our videographer, who was hired from a different company. The turn-around time to receive the photos was also fairly quick. You will not be disappointed by hiring Emmalee as your photographer!
Emmalee Luckas is absolutely amazing, and we are so thrilled with her work! She was so much fun to work with for both our engagement session and our wedding - she made us feel comfortable and at ease during the engagement session when we were both feeling nervous and awkward, and then on the day of she went above and beyond making sure we got all of the shots we were hoping to capture. She scoped out all our shooting locations ahead of time to make sure that they were perfect for what we were looking for, and then when we ran into rain she was ready with umbrellas and ended up capturing some of the coolest shots. We will without a doubt be recommending her to all of our friends and family, and we hope to be able to have her as our photographer for future events!
Emmalee and her assistant, Chelsey, were an absolutely incredible part of our wedding team!! Not only are her pictures stunning, but her personality (calm, considerate) and ability to work with everyone in our family/wedding party made the day go by so smoothly. Emmalee is thoughtful and attentive to detail, ensuring that every part of your special day is captured in its entirety. She is also an excellent communicator before and after the wedding, and got our edited photos to us in a very timely manner (~6 weeks). I can't stop looking at the beautiful photos. Thank you, Emmalee!!
Emmalee’s work is by far the most amazing my husband and I have seen and we knew we had to hire her. She makes you feel so comfortable and keeps you in the loop of whatever she is thinking. You can tell she loves her job by how she carries herself, and how her face lights up with what she’s doing. I’m so excited to see our wedding photos once we get them, because we absolutely love our engagement photos from her!
Emmalee is amazing, hands down. A wee bit late to writing this but better late than never! She made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her. She listens to what you want and has a back up plan to her back up plan. Very responsive and the pictures speak for themselves. We got an engagement session, wedding photos and a photo book with our package! We also used her for our Harry Potter themed bridal shower. Her work is wonderful and she captured these important memories perfectly. Thank you! Can’t recommend enough!
Amazing wedding and engagement photos! She captured the day perfectly! Literally breathtaking. I would highly recommend her if you want to relive the feeling of your wedding day every time you look at a photo.
Emmalee Luckas and her work are both simply amazing. We felt comfortable with her from our first meeting all the way through the wedding and after. We were getting married out of state, and Emmalee was very accommodating with meeting remotely. She listened closely to our suggestions yet also brought her own creative ideas. In the end, the photographs were absolutely unbelievable. We continue to get comments on how much our guests love the pictures and ask who our photographer was. We are very happy with our pictures and would recommend Emmalee to everyone.
Emmalee ROCKS. She has a gift for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera (if you aren't already like we where). She has a great sense of humor and takes AMAZING pictures. She made sure we hit all of the pictures we wanted on our list and went out of her way to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. She makes sure the lighting is perfect in all of her shots and really captures each moment!
Emmalee has been remarkably patient and flexible!!! She has answered every single question that we've had for her. Our engagement session was so much fun and the resulting photos are amazing! She's excellent at her profession, I'd recommend her services to anyone!!!
