In their own words

“The first vendor we booked was photography. Emily photographed our engagement beautifully and it was a no brainer to have her for our wedding. She made my wife and I feel comfortable, vibrant and truly captivated our relationship so perfectly. After our wedding she even took photos of us on a neighborhood basketball court because basketball is such a huge part of our journey. Emily is THE ELITE of photography and moves with a sense of poise, professionalism and realness that is rare in the industry. We believe she is OUR photography as we navigate through the next stages of our life and she should be everyone else's as well. 10/10 recommend.” —Kim & Khloe
