We had the privilege of having her shoot both our engagement session and our wedding. My husband and I both fell in love with Emily instantly and I can say we truly had a blast taking photos with her. Emily is not only talented, she is kind, welcoming, and most of all fun. Our final albums are above and beyond what we could have imagined. She took specific shots that I didn’t even ask for or knew I wanted, but now can’t imagine not having! It’s just a testament to how well she gets to know her clients and how dedicated she is to them. She poured so much time and love into editing our photos and you can tell in every single shot. As a plus, our wedding party and family loved her as much as we did. She kept our day running smoothly and jumped in to help with timeline changes and hair and makeup mishaps. I even had wedding guests go out of their way to tell me they had a blast meeting Emily at our wedding and thought she did a fantastic job capturing our big day. I will forever be trying to find a reason to work with Emily again!

My husband and I got married in February at Papago Golf Course. One of the best decisions we made was hiring Em! After the first 5 minutes of our engagement photoshoot, I knew that we made the right choice! Em was so easy to talk to and my husband and I both felt comfortable right away. On the wedding day, she was so flexible with a few changes in our timeline and she was such a sweet, calming presence throughout the entire day and night! Her and her second shooter, Levi, even stayed later than contracted to capture some more of our special moments! On top of all this, our photos exceeded our expectations and were delivered to us in a timely manner. I’m so thankful our paths crossed and I can’t recommend Em and enough!

As a wedding planner, I know that a photographer can make or break the flow of a wedding day. Emily has such a calm presence which is perfect for a high stress situation like a wedding day. She is so kind and is always smiling! I’ve had the pleasure of working with her and I recommend her to our clients without a blink of an eye. She is such a light and joy to add to your vendor team and you’re making an incredible decision by adding her to your wedding day team. Emily is simply wonderful!

Magical! That is the word I would choose to describe the way Emily made our big day feel. First and foremost, Emily has the most amazing energy. As a bride and in general, I am quite anxious and struggle with feeling confident in photos. Emily came in with a sweet, friendly, energetic, and organized personality. She instantly made me feel happy and excited to have our wedding photos taken. I had tons of questions before I booked her and she was kind enough to let me do a phone call with her. She answered all my questions and did not make me feel pressured to choose her as our wedding photographer. She understood that this was a big decision and didn’t mind if we took some time to make a choice, but OF COURSE, we ended up picking her! My husband and I had thrown our intimate wedding together quite quickly (since he is in the military) and Emily was super amazing at helping us figure things out. She was even able to give me recommendations to different hair and makeup artists....

Emily was very responsive anytime I had questions. She helped me plan the different shots we would want for the couple photos. On the day of the wedding, Emily was organized to a T but still kept her joyous energy. She took so much stress off my shoulders. Once we began taking pictures she was always hyping me and my husband up. She had so many cute ideas to make our pictures amazing. She was not afraid of anything in order to get the ‘perfect’ shot. At one point she was laying on the ground and the next second she was crossing a creek. Her photos were able to capture the magic of Sedona that was so important to us. As a result of all her hard work, the pictures turned out AMAZING! I was blown away when she sent them to me. Every picture was perfect! She is definitely the photographer we will use again in the future and we will be referring her to all our friends and family. We loved having Emily as our wedding photographer and not once did we regret choosing her!

Prior to getting our pictures back, we were in complete and total disbelief over the beauty that is Emily’s photography. Now, that we were able to experience this magic ourselves, we feel this way even more so! If you are in the Arizona or Boston area and need pictures (or even if you don’t need because she’ll make you want pictures AKA ALEX) be sure to contact her. This is one of our favorite things we’ve done together in the past five years together! This whole experience was truly a dream- from Emily’s communication prior, Emily’s positive demeanor throughout the hike, and receiving these pictures, which we’ll forever cherish! Emily puts an obvious amount of time and effort into her pictures and this is clear. She also so graciously edited out my flyaways and Alex’s sweat on his shirt from hiking before this. We are so grateful for these pictures and the opportunity to work with Emily!
The whole experience was truly a dream!

Shortly after planning a vacation to Arizona, my fiancé and I decided we wanted to take engagement photos while we were there. Upon searching on social media, Emily’s page showed up. Her portfolio was incredible and it was exactly the vibe I was going for. I quickly found out that Emily is also from the Boston area, just like us, and that’s what really sealed the deal for us. What are the chances?! It felt so meant to be! I had chatted with Emily for months before our trip, and she was always very quick to get back to me when I had questions. An important request I had was having an area with lots of cacti for our photos, as that was something I really wanted to showcase. Emily is very knowledgeable about the locations she offers for shoots, and helped me pick the perfect spot for our photos...

When it came to the day of our shoot, meeting Emily in person was like meeting sunshine in human form. She is so sweet and has an effortless way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is so passionate about her work, and we felt that immediately. By the end of our session, my fiancé and I were having so much fun, we didn’t even want to leave! I have just received my photos back and I am in complete shock of how wonderful they turned out. I have struggled with feeling confident for years & was apprehensive about the end results, but Emily worked such magic. I am truly in awe. If you are in Arizona (or beyond!), Emily is your girl! We absolutely cannot wait to work with her again in the future.

Emily was the first vendor that we hired for our small intimate wedding ceremony. Her warm and natural editing style really caught my eye and her attentive, sweet and thorough communication style made manifesting our vision a breeze. It felt like I was working with a friend. We would have quick phone calls to check in throughout the planning process and I could easily text or dm her on insta. That flexibility was so nice, especially since we were planning our ceremony kind of last minute with the ever-changing covid situation. It was easy for me to trust in her skills as our photographer to capture our day, and just let her take it and run with it. All I really did was give her small photo wishes I especially wanted and then I left the rest to her. My husband and I are pretty easy going, go with the flow, simple people. Our biggest priority for the day was being present and celebrating our love. Emily's photos captures the essence of this so beautifully. I can feel the love and magic from the day. My parents asked me for her info on the day of before we even saw the photos we all loved working with her.

We traveled to Arizona for our honeymoon and ending up finding this sweetheart on Instagram through a hashtag. She was timely and so accommodating with her communicating and made us feel so natural in front of the camera. She took my vision and exceeded any expectation I had set and these pictures will forever be something we reflect back on and cherish. When I make it back to Arizona I will in a heart beat book with her again and would obviously recommend her to anyone and everyone. We cannot thank you enough for these!
