"Emma is a true champion at expectation setting AND in making the absolute best of whatever situation may arise."
"My husband and I eloped in June 2022 in the Italian Dolomites. Planning a wedding, even when it's "just" an elopement vs. a traditional wedding, can be a lot. Especially when it's in a foreign country. Emma asked great questions and provided abundant example itineraries to keep us on track and guide us to devising a wedding day vision we adored and felt was "us". Working with Emma felt like how wedding planning SHOULD feel--bursting with possibility and excitement, with 100% focus on designing our most fun day to celebrate our love. No idea was too crazy, and Emma was not only down for anything but genuinely pumped for it all!
Beyond that initial feeling of magic and fate, for me there were a few key reasons why we felt comfortable working with Emma.
1. Skill. Have you SEEN her work? She's an incredible artist, and we loved her style in capturing the beauty of the natural landscape and also the realness of the elopements she's photographed.
2. Personality. Emma is just a truly wonderful human, and we knew from our first phone call that we'd get along great with her. She shares a lot of our key values (e.g., Leave No Trace), is adventurous and outdoorsy, and is a positive, fun, easygoing person that we could tell we'd enjoy hanging out with!
3. Experience. Although she'd never been to the exact location we were targeting before, she had extensive experience with mountain elopements and all the uncertainty and adaptability that that entails and requires.
We got back our full gallery a few weeks ago, and everyone I've shared the photos with has commented with "wow, you got an amazing photographer!!" Beyond those stunning photographs is the even more important memories, not just of the truly once in a lifetime experiences shared but also how Emma was the ultimate friend and support system, from the little things like jumping in to help me with my flyaway veil in crazy alpine winds to the big things like keeping me calm and centered as we had to adjust on-the-fly from our tightly orchestrated plan A to plan B due to thunderstorms. Emma is a true champion at expectation setting AND in making the absolute best of whatever situation may arise. She helped us remain eyes open to all the incredible beauty of the day--clouds and all.
Emma's photos of our wedding day are so raw and beautiful, and we will treasure them and our wonderful elopement memories for the rest of our lives." - Maureen and Brian
