Emma is the epitome of professionalism and poise. She was an integral part of my wedding day, making sure we had a schedule that made sense and helping move us through our day.

If you have family members who have a hard time coming out of their shell, but want their love and personality captured on camera, Emma is the photographer for you. She did a fantastic job of making sure EVERYONE was comfortable on our big day.

Each and every photo that we received in our gallery was personal, told a story, and was absolutely breathtaking. We loved being able to try new camera tricks with her and she made it easy to be relaxed. If you’re looking for a professional who will be like a friend to you on your big day, and who will capture every perfect moment, book Emma! You won’t regret it.

Emma is SPECTACULAR at what she does. She’s so patient, creative, and knows exactly how to bring your vision to life! I love that she’s more focused on capturing moments than having you pose for pictures, makes it more genuine if you ask me. Please book with this talented woman ASAP, you won’t regret it.

Emma was the biggest blessing of our entire wedding day!
She was so attentive, caring, and genuine in all of our interactions, from our initial consultation to the delivery of our wedding album. Emma made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day and was like a built in best friend for us!

She went above and beyond the responsibilities of a photographer. Emma helped us plan details of our wedding day and made sure that those details were implemented on the day-of. She worked tirelessly and even had sneak peek photos edited for us before we went to bed that evening. As if all of the above was not enough, Emma delivered stunning images with a touch of artistry that is timeless and incredibly unique. We cannot stress our gratitude for Emma enough. If you are searching for the best photographer, look no further!

PHENOMENAL! Emma is one of those people who immediately makes you feel so at ease, and she brings out the best in everyone around her. On our wedding day and every moment leading up to it, we felt heard and valued, and could feel the joy she radiated.

I am dedicated to preserving stories for future generations and would be truly honored to craft your legacy
