    Gorgeous photos and amazing photographer!

    We hired Emma to capture our San Diego wedding in February as a recommended vendor by our coordinator. We were a tad nervous because A) we weren’t able to do a engagement shoot as we live across the country and aren’t models by trade and B) winter weddings always run the risk of bad weather. Both concerns were alleviated immediately upon connecting with Emma - she has a way of making even the most awkward people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she came up with very viable and gorgeous alternatives for a very real possibility that our outdoor portraits and ceremony would be rained out. Fortunately that did not need to happen, but her positive energy and professionalism put us very much at ease during a potentially stressful situation.

    Overall, Emma is an incredible photographer but also an impeccable wedding industry professional. She kept our group on time with all of our requested portraits, and respected all of our wishes as to when we wanted to mingle with our guests vs capture some amazing golden hour photos. We feel incredibly lucky to have chosen her as our photographer and would recommend her to anybody who wants a kind, thoughtful, yet skillful photographer to capture their perfect wedding day!

    Incredible and so professional!!

    I was amazed when I got to open up my wedding gallery by Emma! She was professional, easy to communicate with, and made the entire process from photo selection and must haves easy! When I looked at my photos, I was amazed with the quality and timelessness Emma was able to pull off! She is on of the best in San Diego hands down.

    Great service overall!

    We loved working with Emma. We reached out to her after finding her company randomly on Wedding Wire and hired her almost immediately after our first consultation. She’s very professional and personable and made us feel comfortable and heard throughout both our engagement session and wedding. We are gifting the photos she took at our wedding to our families for the holidays.

    The most talented photographer around!

    If you are looking for a photographer STOP RIGHT NOW.

    Emma did an amazing job capturing the most candid and loving moments of our wedding day, engagement session and family session.

    I immediately started to tear up when I opened the galleries with our photos. These photos capture the emotion of the moment. She is an artist able to transport you back to that exact moment and make you feel like you are back to where the picture was taken.

    When I look at my images, I feel so grateful to have found Emma. Someone that made me feel beautiful, confident and made us have so much fun when the both of us are camera shy.
    Working with Emma was A BLAST. She is so organized, so professional, so talented and I literally could not stop saying thank you to her for all she did on our wedding day.

    My favorite part of working with Emma was her joyful personality, how calm she was and how she made us feel so relaxed taking our photos.

    BEST Wedding Photographer Out There!

    We were absolutely thrilled with Emma's work on our wedding day! From the very first meeting to receiving the final photographs, everything was top-notch.

    Emma was incredibly professional, yet also personable and made us feel at ease from the start. She took the time to get to know us, which was evident in the photos - our true spirits and love/excitement for each other and the future!

    On the big day, Emma and her second photographer arrived well-prepared and on time. They seamlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments we didn't even realize were happening. The posed shots were equally impressive, and they had a knack for making us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    The final photographs were breathtaking!!!

    What sets Emma apart is her ability to capture not just moments but emotions. Looking at our wedding photos, we can relive every smile, every tear, and every laugh. It's truly a priceless gift that we'll cherish forever.

    In addition to their photography skills, Emma also excelled in communication and organization. She kept us informed every step of the way, and she was quick to respond if we ever had a question.

    We highly recommend Emma to anyone in search of a wedding photographer who not only captures moments but also creates memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you for making our special day even more memorable!

    Emma is the best!

    Emma is literally the BEST! We couldn’t be more happier with our wedding photos and our experience working with Emma. She is attentive, detailed, professional and creates a warm and fun environment for her clients. Within 24 hours we received our wedding sneak peeks and they were amazing (our venue even reached out to comment on what an amazing photographer Emma is and how great the photos turned out)! Emma was also so helpful in the timeline planning process and on the day of, she ensured everything ran to schedule, she was able to capture everything we discussed and everything just ran so smoothly. If you’re looking for a photographer, we couldn’t recommend anyone better!

    Amazing!

    Emma is AMAZING! We found Emma through a recommendation and we are beyond happy about it! She did our engagement photo shoot and we were so pleased with our photos that we did not even hesitate to ask her to be our wedding photographer. Emma is so friendly, and kind, has a positive attitude, and communicates very well. On our wedding day she made me feel so beautiful and treated everyone so respectfully. We received our wedding photos in a very timely manner and we could not be happier with them! We highly recommend Emma!

    Our first choice!

    I have had the pleasure of knowing Emma since she was in 2nd grade and witness the beginning of her love of photography in middle school. Her work and artistry have always been so beautiful and creative. Emma was the very first vendor we contacted and booked for our wedding. Even though I have known her as a student she maintained the utmost professionalism and excellent customer service. She reached out to ask what our priorities were, had a back up plan in the case of XYZ situation, and was such a joyful presence at our wedding along with her 2nd shooter for the day. Emma and Pete made everything so easy/smooth/not awkward and was able to command the room especially when we had family photos. She sent us highlights in less than 2 days!! after the wedding day, and we received the full album in under 2 months. We've obsessed over each and every photo -- Emma managed to capture the emotions of the day and we have loved reliving our celebration seeing the smiles on the faces of our friends and families. Can't say enough how much we love Emma and working with her.

    Absolutely Phenomenal

    Emma is truly amazing at what she does!! Not only does she take beautiful photos, but she also takes the time to make you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. She is so patient and kind. It was chilly on the day so she was extra patient about dealing with the weather! Everyone needs a photographer that is as flexible as Emma and can deal with any type of situation. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

    Photographer review

    If I could give Emma more starts I would ! She was Amazing ! From the very beginning she was very easy to get a hold of and communication was never an issue. I planned my own wedding, never had attended one I needed a lot of guidance and Emma guided me through what is customary for wedding yet she was very open to my ideas and desires . Her price is extremely fair for the service she provides . We got a sneak peek of the photos the very next day which I’m already so in love with. Emma was very professional, approachable, and friendly and managed myself and my wedding party with grace and regard. I couldn’t be happier with Emma and her service !

    Emma is an EXCEPTIONAL wedding photographer!!

    From the moment we met Emma, it was evident that we were in the hands of a true professional.
    Emma's organization and attention to detail were absolutely remarkable. She ensured that our wedding day went off without a hitch, sticking to the schedule and making sure everything ran seamlessly. Her ability to coordinate with everyone involved, from the videographer to our family members, was nothing short of impressive.
    Working with Emma was an absolute pleasure. She has a warm and friendly demeanor that put us at ease, making it easy to relax and enjoy the process. Emma's experience and expertise were evident as she guided us through each shot and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her talent for capturing candid moments and genuine emotions was truly awe-inspiring.
    But what truly sets Emma apart is her extraordinary skill in photography. The photos she produced are nothing short of stunning. Each image tells a story, preserving the beauty, emotion, and love of our wedding day. We are absolutely in love with every single picture and will cherish them forever.
    Thank you, Emma, for going above and beyond to make our wedding day a memorable one. Your professionalism, talent, and the incredible moments you've captured are a gift that we will treasure for a lifetime. If you're searching for a wedding photographer who will exceed your expectations, Emma is the one to choose. We can't recommend her enough!

    Fantastic and Flawless

    Emma did both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Both experiences were absolutely amazing. She was completely open to my ideas and really wanted to capture my vision, but she brings her own beautiful artistic eye to each photo. She's also calm in an emergency (we had medical emergency) and she powered through staying kind, supportive, and thoughtful. She got first looks so quickly! She's super easy to get a hold and really matched my vibe. She knows when to give control and take it. Absolutely wonderful. 10/10 would recommend.

    An amazing photographer in San Diego

    Emma has been so incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our journey in planning our wedding from England. Her communication has been outstanding throughout. She suggested the most beautiful venue at Windansea Beach, which was absolutely perfect for our ceremony. She worked so well with our celebrant and made our day feel so special. Emma made us feel completely relaxed, gave clear instructions but offered us the chance to make suggestions too, and is a lovely smiling face behind the camera. We are so pleased with our photos and can’t thank Emma enough for capturing all the aspects of our special time forever. A really progessional, talented photographer and highly recommended.

    Absolutely amazing!

    We hired Emma to do our engagement pictures and we immediately knew we had to have her photograph our wedding. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera and Emma knew exactly how to pose and work with us so that our pictures turned out so natural. Emma is truly so talented and we have had multiple people tell us how our photos looks straight from a magazine. Not to mention, Emma is a extremely sweet, professional, flexible, and attentive. She can capture any vision you have and is very patient. You will not regret having her capture your special day! We even had Emma come back to do our pregnancy announcements and we plan to have her for every special moment in the future!

    Seriously Amazing!!!

    We could not have been more happy to find Emma as our photographer. Our wedding was short planned, in Julian in the afternoon of December. Not only did she come so prepared but she was so friendly and made us all feel so comfortable. We first got a sneak peek of our photos and I just knew how amazing they were all going to be. Our jaws dropped and of course I teared up. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone. She had our timeline, a list of people we wanted specific photos with and did an amazing job throughout the whole wedding and reception! Very much worth it.

    Beautiful Pictures by Up and Coming Photographer

    We chose Emma after looking through the wedding galleries of many photographers. Emma's photos captured so much love and joy in the bride and grooms, the lighting and framing were always just right, and the variety of shots are great.
    Emma was professional and responsive to deal with. She was flexible and attentive and made everyone feel so comfortable about being photographed. Emma's communications were consistent and helpful. She met with the wedding coordinator at the venue to ensure she knew where the best photo spots would be before the wedding.
    On the day of the wedding, she was organized, hard working and pleasant to have around.
    The day after the wedding she sent us the first sneak peeks at the photos and they are absolutely beautiful. We can't wait to see the full set.
    100% Highly Recommended!!!
