Emily was amazing! I had decided at the week before that I would like to have photo memories of our elopement and it was the best decision ever. Not only was Emily super professional and provided me with a great questionnaire but she was also really understanding of how we wanted our special day to be captured. Emily's communication throughout the entire process and elopement day was superb. My husband and I were totally in shock with the sneak peek photos and feel like they're even better than we could have ever imagined! Definitely hire Emily for any special occasion of yours 💚

I cannot recommend Emily highly enough! She truly goes the extra mile. From the initial planning and communication for our engagement shoot to providing sneak peeks and picture proofs almost immediately, Emily was fantastic every step of the way.
When our original location fell through due to weather and travel issues, she was incredibly flexible, helping us rebook at a completely different spot without any hassle. Her professionalism and skill behind the camera are truly impressive, and her creative ideas made our shoot unforgettable.
Working with Emily was an absolute blast, and I’m so glad we chose her for our engagement photos. Thank you so much, Emily!

Emily is really awesome! We had three sessions with her for our graduation ceremony and wedding. She is very professional. We had a really good experience talking with her about our ideas and the styles we love. She also gave lots of great advice. She always came ahead of time to set up everything and found the best spots for us. She is so good at capturing the moment, making the photos very vivid and memorable! I’m so happy to have her capturing my remarkable life events. Best photographer ever❤️🥳

This was the most amazing experience from start to end! When we received our sneak peek we were flabbergasted at just how well Emily captured the moment. It felt magical and surreal and that’s exactly what the photos show, as well. Emily was flexible and worked with us to get pictures of our cat, as well! One thing I noticed that really stood out to me was how present, engaged and in the moment Emily was with this photo shoot. I could truly see her passion for photography and her drive to get all the photos we really wanted. We now have the hard task of choosing which photos to frame etc and there are SO many favorites I don’t know how we will choose! Emily is beyond fantastic and we highly recommend her for your photos! Definitely book Emily— you will not regret it one bit!!
