Madeleine T. Sent on 12/06/2023A fantastic experience!
Emma and her team photographed & video’d our July wedding and we were thrilled with the results! Emma was seamless to work with and was quick to respond to all of our questions pre-wedding day. Day of, Emma and her team were punctual and were fantastic at coordinating our bridal party and family for all the photos we wanted. She made everyone feel comfortable but kept her eye on the clock and kept us on schedule. Throughout the whole reception Emma was on the move capturing all of our special moments and favorite people, even coordinating a final shoot for my husband and I before she left at the end of the night. Emma turned out photos around quickly, providing sneak photos to us while we were still on our honeymoon and our album & video were ready soon after that. We loved working with Emma and team and can’t recommend her enough!Emma Mullins Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for sharing this, Madeleine!! We are honored to have been part of your wedding day. CONGRATS again to you and Justin!!! -

Julie B. Sent on 05/22/2024An incredible day with Emma Mullins Photography!
Emma was so incredible to work with for our engagement photo shoot! We were somewhat nervous at the beginning, but she made us feel at ease right away. It quickly became a super fun experience for my partner and I! Emma made us feel at our best and it was so fantastic getting to know her during our shoot. We are overjoyed with the photos she has shared so far and can't wait to see more! I highly recommend Emma Mullins Photography to anyone looking for high quality, engaging, artistic, and fun photos. We can't wait to show ours off at our upcoming wedding :)Emma Mullins Photography's reply:
Julie, thanks so much for sharing this! I'm so happy you enjoyed your experience with me!! Saturday was such a blast, the photos turned out awesome and I can't wait for you to see them ALL :) Thank you again for having me!!! -

Emma is amazing!
We are so glad we hired Emma for our wedding! All the photos, both staged and candid, and it's hard for us to pick favorites - Emma was understanding of the staged photos we knew we wanted (which turned out exactly as we had hoped!) and had great, unique ideas for other staged photos that we didn't know we wanted! She and Jeremy also caught so many great candid moments throughout the day and we ended up with fun and funny photos of all our guests.
Beyond the excellent photos, Emma is a true professional. Her organizational skills are top notch as she was great at communicating with us and our other vendors throughout our planning process as well as she keeping us on track and on time for pre-ceremony photos on the day of our wedding. She dealt with all our spur of the moment photo requests with grace and was very patient and helpful in wrangling some of our more distractable family members during the staged photos.
Thank you so much Emma & Jeremy!Emma Mullins Photography's reply:
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review, Will!! I'm so happy you and Kitt enjoyed your experience with us, your wedding was such a blast to be part of :) All our best to you both!!! -

Emily H. Sent on 04/18/2023Assertive photographer. Amazing photos.
Emma was incredible. The photos are incredible. We can't thank her enough. We hired Emma for our engagement photos. I was really nervous and feeling self-conscious. Emma was able to make me feel so comfortable and I was so happy with how the photos turned out. We of course hired her for our wedding. We have been in a lot of weddings, and so has our wedding party, and everyone raved at how organized, efficient, and direct Emma was. We took photos at our favorite record shop -- a place I'm usually intimidated to go into as a customer, let alone a bride in a big dress -- but Emma was assertive and kind and we got some of the most amazing photos! Emma also literally stopped traffic on Damen Ave to get incredible wedding party shots of us walking down the street. It is hard to wrangle a wedding party, extended family, and tipsy guests, but Emma kept all the photos going and got all of our requests (as well as all of my mom's extended list of requests). Timelines and schedules change, but Emma was able to make changes on the fly and be creative in the space. Emma did such an amazing job at capturing special moments, including the little ones that others may not have noticed. Also, the photo "booth" was such a hit with our guests. The photo quality is so good and we cherish these prints! I know I am using a lot of superlatives and exclamation points, but this is all authentic. Emma made what could have been an extremely stressful day and night, flow so smoothly. And now we have the pictures to treasure and excellent gifts for family and friends. -

An Incredible Experience From Start to Finish
I am a huge believer that if there is anything that you should invest in with regard to your wedding, it is the photographer. The day will pass in the blink of an eye and all that you will have are memories and pictures. I feel so lucky that we had Emma (and her second shooter, Jeremy) to take ours. Not only are our photos such a beautiful, candid, vibrant reminder of our day, but Emma and Jeremy were a joy to have with us at the wedding. They made every second of the day feel more joyful and relaxed. Staged photos can be a chore but they were speedy and fun with Emma in charge. She was also so careful to make sure that we got all of the shots that we hoped for, as well as some very creative ones as awesome ideas came to her. Do yourself a favor and hire Emma MullIns Photography for your wedding. You won’t find a better person to capture your day. -

Jackie C. Sent on 04/04/2023Brewery & Jewel Tone Wedding - CRUSHED IT
We had such a great experience with Emma and her team. She was so easy to work with, fun and professional. She was great at understanding exactly the vibe of our relationship and how we wanted that to come through on the pictures. I also had a jewel tone wedding and needed someone who would let those colors pop - Emma did not disappoint!
The engagement session was so fun and she helped us be ourselves. It was truly the perfect practice session for us.
When it came to our big day, she was so fun to work with. Captured all the moments perfectly and she was all business. Her and her team handled my family and friends perfectly and somehow was able to wrangle everyone for group pictures. When it came down to the thousands of photos we took - we had a blast and her team ABSOLUTELY crushed it! We recommend Emma 1000%!Emma Mullins Photography's reply:
Thank you, Jackie!! We had such a blast on your wedding day, thank you again for having us :) Congrats again to you and Mike!!! -

No question - Hire Emma!
Hands down our favorite vendor and the best decision we made on our wedding was hiring Emma! From our initial reach out to even after delivering our final photos, Emma has been a delight to communicate and work with. She brought energy to our wedding day and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She clearly has the experience and professionalism, but she also brings a comfort and kind hearted touch to her craft. We are beyond happy with how all of our wedding photos turned out. You'd be crazy not to hire Emma!Emma Mullins Photography's reply:
Thank you, Liz!! I'm so happy you and Eric enjoyed your experience with me! I had so much fun on your winter wedding day and wish you nothing but the best :) Thank you again for having me!! -

Emma Mullins was the ideal wedding photographer. We had to make a ton of decisions while planning our wedding, and hiring Emma was the best of them. The pictures themselves were gorgeous, and we’re so thrilled to have them for the rest of our lives—but a few of the intangibles along the way made her truly irreplaceable.
A few major advantages of hiring Emma:
1) Both of us are teachers, so we didn’t have an infinite budget when it came to wedding expenses, but our top priority was hiring a great photographer, so we had our work cut out for us: we wanted someone amazing, but we also wanted someone affordable. (Plenty of wedding photographers charge more than $5K, and several charge more than $10K. We couldn’t do that.) After our engagement session, it became pretty clear that Emma was an extraordinary value at the price.
2) Neither of us is particularly at ease in front of a camera, but Emma is kind and gracious, and she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. The engagement photo session, which she added to the wedding package for a steal, was invaluable in helping us get used to the (somewhat unnatural, for us) experience of being photographed. Emma is both professional and casual, organized and relaxed. We immediately knew that we were in good hands, and both the engagement session and the wedding were much more comfortable as a result.
3) The pictures! They exceeded all expectations. Beautiful and special. Not to belabor the point, but Emma is extremely good at her job.
Don’t make the mistake of hiring someone who isn’t Emma Mullins! She’s quite literally the best. We’re so thrilled to have hired her. -

It was an absolute pleasure working with Emma and the Emma Mullins Photography team for our wedding in June 2021. We used Emma Mullins Photography for our photos, video, and photobooth and we are beyond happy with all the results. From the beginning we knew we loved the style of her photography, but we were absolutely blown away with our wedding photos. They truly captured the moment and energy of our wedding. We got so many compliments on how beautiful, candid, and lively our photos were. Everything about the whole process was great from booking, communication, logistics, to receiving the photos. We are so lucky to have found her! There were a few non traditional moments that Emma and the team captured that I will treasure forever - lots of laughs and happy memories. We also genuinely had a blast with Emma and the team at our wedding, great to have that connection and trust, like a friend was talking our photos :) Any hoo look no further for the perfect wedding photographer and team!!! -

11/10 would hire again!
We loved working with Emma and her team of associates and videographers! From the very first conversation, we were confident that Emma would capture our day, and with every meeting, our faith in her grew. She listened to what we wanted and added her (much needed) finesse and expertise to perfectly capture our big day.
Emma added so much joy to the "photo shoot" component of our day, and fit right in with our family and friends, as evidenced by how authentic the candid shots she captured were.
We're so thrilled that we went with Emma Mullins Photography - choosing a photographer can be an overwhelming decision, but again, after that first meeting, we never looked back, and you won't either! -

Chris A. Sent on 08/13/2021Stunning photos of your wedding day!
Emma was ABSOLUTELY spectacular, we can not say enough good things about her. We snatched her up from a friend's wedding because we were so impressed while we watched her work. She's incredibly easy to work with and super punctual and responsive. We were meant to have our wedding in 2020 but had to postpone due to covid, Emma was flexible and we were so happy that she was able to accommodate our new date. Not only is she a great photographer, she is also a genuinely wonderful human. I lost my mom early in 2020 and Emma sent over a lovely care package and note. Totally unexpected and just shows you how she will go the extra mile. My husband and I are a bit camera shy but she did a great job getting us out of our shells. She is incredibly creative and shared great ideas that lead to some of our favorite shots. She is truly an expert in her field and her eye for seeing things in a unique or artistic way is unmatchable. I wish I could hire Emma to photograph every important moment in my life! -

Melanie S. Sent on 10/24/2020Enthusiastic and creative photography & videography! HIGHLY recommend!
Thank you to Emma Mullins Photography for partnering with us to plan and achieve an amazing elopement ceremony. Emma was an enthusiastic cheerleader and supporter to us along our wedding planning journey. Emma is very responsive, enthusiastic, detailed and creative, and helped us accomplish a fantastic wedding day.
Emma helped us identify creative ways to replan our wedding during COVID19, and was incredibly flexible as our plans changed multiple times. We ultimately were able to get married in a small ceremony at Starved Rock State Park in IL, and Emma went above and beyond and drove out there a few weeks before the wedding to scout out some beautiful spots for photos.
During our wedding day, we had photography services with Emma and videography services with her colleague Carlos. Their team helped us feel excited and confident throughout the whole wedding day. Emma's positivity and energy helped us have SO much fun during our photo sessions. Carlos was able to creatively capture video from the full day and we were so impressed by the sound and visual quality of the videos. Emma captured the colors, joy and essence of the day in her photos. Looking back at the photos and videos brings us and our families so much joy.
Emma and Carlos sent us highlight photos and a highlight video in just a couple weeks (we paid extra for expedited delivery) , and then the full set of photos and the full video came to us a couple months later.
We LOVED working with Emma and her team, and we definitely recommend her for anyone in the Chicago area. Well worth the money!
P.S. Thank you to Emma's husband, Jeremy, who stepped in to be our wedding officiant at the last minute due to our plans changing during COVID19. Working with Emma and her team felt like we were working with family. Thank you! -

James N. Sent on 01/31/2022Emma Mullins Photography is the BEST!
First and foremost, we LOVE Emma Mullins!! Not only is she a talented photographer, but she is a pleasure to work with. She is insightful, experienced, friendly, and a joy to be around.
We got in contact with Emma shortly after we got engaged, and she was prompt to set up a meeting with us. We knew right away that we wanted to work with her based on her portfolio and her personality. She listened to us from the get go and provided excellent recommendations and feedback. We had a great experience with her and her husband for our engagement shoot!
When our original wedding didn’t go as planned, Emma and her associates were understanding, flexible, and communicative. We ended up having a last-minute elopement and she worked with us every step of the way. Despite COVID and extreme weather challenges, she was there for us and made sure we were taken care of.
We are extremely pleased with the experiences and photos and we definitely plan to work with Emma and her team for our real wedding (whenever that is). We highly recommend Emma Mullins Photography!

Victoria C. Sent on 04/19/2021Still can't get over the pictures!
Emma was amazing! We came to her without any kind of vision and she had such great ideas. I liked that she helped compose a wide range of images - from more artsy, painterly ideas to casual, candid shots. We've received a zillion compliments on our photos - I even use one for my work profile!
We felt really comfortable with Emma, and she was helpful and responsive when plans changed multiple times.
Absolutely would recommend! -

Taylor C. Sent on 11/30/2020Can't imagine anyone else as our photographer.
I truly can't imagine a wedding day without Emma Mullins. My wife and I had to scale our wedding way down due to the pandemic, but keeping Emma for photos was quite possibly the best decision we made. She kept the atmosphere joyful, with her professionalism and exuberance giving an even a grander sense of occasion to the pared down affair. She was always in a mask, and we always felt safe and comfortable during the time she spent with us.
And did I mention her images are absolutely gorgeous? Because they are. Posed shots are beautifully composed and selected so that everyone's best side is alway on display. Her candid shots display the exact mood of the moments she's capturing, and have provided us with even more wonderful memories of our wedding day than we would have ever thought possible. At this point, every computer desktop background, profile picture, cell phone screen saver, and framed image in our home is an Emma Mullins photo, and I could not be happier about it.
She helped us plan out photo time so the we'd have the perfect balance of subjects, styles, and locations, and then executed that plan efficiently, while making the whole thing feel like a breeze. I'm positive that a wedding day with Emma was at least 60% less stressful than a wedding day without her.
The complete gallery was returned to us in a timely fashion, with all the photos selected, processed, and presented to give us the perfect portrait of our wedding. If we are able to have our planned larger-scale celebration next year, there is no one besides Emma Mullins that we would want as our photographer. Anyone else would feel like a step down. We are truly proud to be featured on her blog and social media, and can't recommend her work more highly! -
