Emma Lili Photography

how she would show us photos throughout the session and was very complimentary. It was a fun evening, and the perfect way to kick off our engagement. She also provided helpful knowledge when it came to venues and other vendors in the wedding industry. This was so nice to hear since we had just started the planning process.  Finally the turnaround time was incredible! We were able to share our perfect photos right away! Looking forward to working with Emma again soon. 

erfect location in a state I’ve only been to once. She made everything so much easier. She’s the best and I HIGHLY recommend her!

AZING! Our newborn shoot was no different. She was so accommodating and we were able to go with the flow with our newborn. She had ideas that I didn't even think of and I am so happy I let her take the lead. I will cherish these photos as my baby grows up and I would highly recommend Emma!

ble job! It took a lot of skill and experience and she did it flawlessly while also bringing such positive energy to the experience. We were blown away at the photos and will cherish them forever! My fiancé also had a great experience with communicating and planning the moment with her before hand. Highly recommend!

portfolio showcased her talent, and her personality made the planning process enjoyable. I felt reassured that she would understand our vision and bring it to life. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better choice for our special day. Emma strives to capture the candid moments. She and her team nailed every aspect of what she said they would do. She captured every moment and even the side-eye my son-in-law gave when the officiant asked if anyone opposed the marriage. The picture is hilarious. Emma maximized our time to the fullest, so we were able to enjoy the day without feeling like we were constantly taking pictures. Emma and the team were always present, capturing natural moments that we will forever be grateful for. It has been five months since the wedding, and I constantly get feedback from my guests on the amazing job Emma and the team did. We had to execute the rain plan the morning of the wedding, and the ceremony was under a tent on the waterfront. I almost forgot it was tented because she edited out the tent in the pictures. We never discussed it; she just did it. We also utilized Emma for our videography.She was the only professional I found who delivered a teaser video, a 4-5 min video, and a full movie 45 min long of all the highlights.I cry tears of joy every time we watch them.The editing is over the top.Book her for the photography and video! Did I mention she also gifted the bride and groom an album of some of their selected photos? I cannot put into words how happy we all are with the services Emma and her team provided. If I ever have the chance to host another wedding, Emma Lili is hired! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Emma so much!

r pictures and can't wait to see the videos! I will 100% be recommending her to all of my friends/family in the future.

al day from portraits and candids, and her turn around time of getting photos back was so quick. I used to plan weddings and worked with many photographers but Emma was one of the best to work with as a client!

n our beautiful Spring day. I have had the hardest time even trying to pick my “favorites” because they are all so beautiful. Emma had a great photography questionnaire I filled out before our wedding and she hit every single one of our photos we had asked for and more. She is great at keeping the group going in a timely manner. And best yet, she sent us our full wedding album way sooner than expected! Thank you Emma for all of your hard work and beautiful photos we will cherish forever :)

s & wedding day a positive & seamless experience. Emma and her 2nd shooter brought a fun energy to our big day, and helped make us feel comfortable amongst all of the nerves. She couldn't have captured our day any better, and we are so grateful to have these beautiful, timeless photos for our lifetime. It is clear that Emma is exceptionally skilled in photography, and we cannot recommend her enough!!

. When torrential rain stopped us from getting family pictures outside, Emma jumped in to action and quickly got a new spot set up indoors. She was such a hype girl and made everyone in the bridal party feel amazing. It was so fun working with her and I feel like I have a new friend. Her pictures are beautiful and gave us a sneak peak so quickly. I cannot recommend her enough.

t her couples and their wedding. Both my husband and I are camera shy, but she makes the environment so comfortable and it felt like one of our good friends behind the camera taking our pictures! Not only did she do our engagement, wedding photos and video, but she also recently took our family photos with our 5 month old!

he lighting to composition. Moreover, Emma is so engaging, supportive, and encouraging, she made our experience wonderful. We continued to use Emma for maternity photos, and were once again thrilled with the result. She is a consummate professional, and we have loved working with her!

I would describe her and her process as thorough, thoughtful, purposeful, fun, personable and extremely high quality. I will sing her praises from here on out and she will be my go to photographer for all of life’s milestones!

We cannot say enough good things about Emma. We HIGHLY recommend Emma Lili Photography! It was one of the best wedding decisions we made!

en took the time to have phone calls with us to discuss timelines on how the day would flow. From the very beginning, I was very adamant that I did not want to do a first look on the big day. Unfortunately on the morning of the wedding, my dad ended up having to have emergency surgery to remove his appendix. We had to push the ceremony back to give my dad enough time to be discharged from the hospital and make it to the venue. Due to the push back, we were forced to have pictures before our ceremony. Emma took me to the side and one on one talked to me how we could completely change the timeline to get the photos we wanted. These pictures ended up being our favorite photos! It was so much fun having time with just the two of us! We could not have imagined our day without her!

nows her stuff! Knew where at the venue we should take photos and at what time and was so good at keeping everyone in the family and the party happy and on schedule. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her to everyone and anyone.

back in less than a week which is unheard of. The pictures are stunning. Do yourself a favor and book Emma!

e able to secure her for our wedding date. Leading up to the wedding, my husband and I had an absolute blast with her during our engagement photos. She totally helped ease his nerves and become more comfortable with being photographed for the day of. On the day of our wedding, Emma was an absolute joy. She was so FUN, easy to work with, and perfectly blended in with my family and wedding party. I appreciated that Emma and her team were present during the wedding but also gave us the space we needed to enjoy ourselves and guests. I hardly knew they were around snapping pictures! Throughout the process, Emma was responsive and provided us with a wealth of information so that our day would run as smooth as possible. I really can't sing Emma's praises enough. I highly recommend, and if you have the chance to work with Emma & her team, you should not think twice.

to be photographed (believe me, we're usually so awkward when it comes to having photos taken of us)! We love our photos, and the entire process, from planning to execution, was smooth and enjoyable. I would 100% recommend Emma Lili Photography - the work speaks for itself and the people are pleasures to be around and made our day and memories extra special.

vidual. The complimentary engagement session with Emma is not something we originally thought we needed but I am so glad we have them. and then the WEDDING PICTURES - my gosh, just beautiful. She and her assistant pictured so many incredible moments and we are so glad that they were part of our big day. I cannot recommend Emma enough! If we are ever needing any type of pictures in the future (family pictures, etc) - she will be our first call!

t with the shoot! Then when we received the pictures, we knew without a doubt we picked the best photographer in Charleston!!! Her work is AMAZING! Now let’s talk about the wedding… Emma and her team worked their butts off!!! We shared the moments of the day we wanted her to focus on and she listened and did exactly that! Our family and friends also commented on how phenomenal she was. She was so organized and efficient, especially during the family portraits! We also used Emma and her team for our videography. We originally didn’t want to hire a videographer, but are so happy we did! The videos captured our entire venue and the feelings and love of the day perfectly. The quality of the videos were more than we could’ve ever imagined. It’s like watching a Hollywood movie of our special day! We’ve already watched the videos and played a slideshow of the pictures a million times. It’s the best memories to keep forever. We’re so happy we found Emma for our special day. Without a doubt, the best photography and videography team!!!

personality. She was relaxed and fun, while also being firm in getting people where they needed to be. I'm so glad she convinced us to do a first look, it took a lot of the pressure off and I will treasure those photos forever. We got our sneak peek photos super fast and then the gallery had so many photos that it was almost overwhelming! She truly captured every moment and the videos (1 min, 7 min highlight, and 46 min full length) are something I will treasure forever, and well worth the investment. Emma and her husband (videographer) are super fun to work with and I cannot recommend them more!

and responsive, but personable and so funny. The photos are STUNNING and have the beautiful light and airy look we wanted to capture. Throughout the wedding day Emma and her team kept me at ease while making me laugh and taking the most beautiful photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Our guests raved about how friendly she was and how she made everyone laugh when interacting with them. We highly recommend Emma, you will not be disappointed! We cannot thank her enough. Emma is the ultimate hype women!!

ed but did not charge us, still edited/sent photos AND let us re do the shoot downtown. She went above in beyond when our wedding planner bailed and she helped us find a new one. She arrived to the wedding and kept the timeline running and made me feel confident that things would go smoothly (all while taking amaizng photos). She stayed positive despite the rain/wind/freezing weather! She makes everyone feel confident and edits/returns photos so quickly. I cannot recommend Emma enough and I hope to be able to hire again in the future!

After spending a few hours with her during our engagement shoot (which we absolutely loved), we knew that our wedding photos were going to be perfect. Her light airy style was exactly the vibe we were going for. We decided to include video in our package and we are thrilled that we chose to do so. Day of, Emma and her team were prompt, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable! Two days after the wedding, Emma sent us a large album of sneak peaks, which we were blown away by. She was also quick to deliver our entire album. Emma and Luke were one of our best wedding decisions!

engagement shoot and our wedding. We were both nervous as we have never taken professional pictures before. Emma made us feel comfortable right away and we actually enjoy having our pictures taken now! Everyone at my wedding absolutely adored her and I will highly recommend her to any of my friends getting married!! My husband and I are already planning to use her for all of our Christmas cards and family pics in the future! You NEED to choose her as your wedding photographer!!!!

w we were doing. Who does that?! But what really matters is the photography...and she did NOT disappoint! She captured every little moment that was important to us and then some. And when she says she will move through family photos quickly, she means it! She makes you feel comfortable to capture your TRUE personality. Even my wedding guests couldn't stop talking about how great she is! I could go on and on, but the point is: HIRE HER! She's incredible!

ous and Emma was so upbeat and fun to be around! She could make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera! I decided to add videography to our package, and am so glad that I did!! Emma and her husband Luke make the sweetest team! You end up spending a lot of time with your photographer and videographer on your wedding day, and Emma and Luke were great and kept us on schedule the whole day while capturing all of the important moments!

We got our photos and videos back quickly and were absolutely blown away! The photos were beautiful and will be cherished forever!! I would 110% recommend also adding video to your package! The videos managed to perfectly encapsulate our day and were beautifully edited. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma Lili Photography to any friend or family member!

ment we first spoke with her in the middle of COVID, planning our wedding from a different state—Emma made us feel comfortable and excited. Her bubbly personality came through the phone and had us laughing before we even met her. Our engagement shoot was more fun than either of us imagined, and made Emma a friendly face we couldn’t wait to see the morning of our November wedding—in the pouring rain. A stressful hiccup made easy by her expertise, comforting words and attitude. Our wedding party and family portraits in the freezing rain were accompanied by so much laughter all thanks to Emma. Emma was a trooper running around the outside of the tent to get the best angles of the ceremony. When our photos came back months earlier than we expected, we were truly blown away. They are the most beautiful, creative, and flawless wedding photos we’d ever seen. You can hardly see that it’s raining—except when that was her goal! We are forever grateful for everything she did for us. Trust me—you need Emma on your team.

ion and after we hung up I felt like I just made a lifelong friend. My husband was not excited to pose for our engagement pictures, but Emma made the experience fun for him. She loved how silly he wanted to be and she just went with it. When you’re around Emma she radiates happiness and positivity. I’m always nervous how I look for pictures, but Emma was my hype girl. She made me feel like I was a super model. So you love Emma as a person and then you get your pictures back and all you can say is OH MY GOSH! She is literally the total package. Fast forward to our November wedding.. I was not as prepared with my details as I would have liked to be, but she was on top of it and made everything look so beautiful together. She was so amazing again made us feel like superstars behind the camera. My family members commented on how incredibly nice and talented she was. Her work speaks for itself, but the person behind the camera is the only one you need with you for your wedding. Book Emma. You will never ever regret it! I look forward to all of our milestones in life and know that we will have her photos on our walls no matter where we live.

her gift, which is evident in her work. Her talent & use of natural light is amazing. Our wedding photos are timeless & something we cherish so much. Her personality is incredible. She is so fun 7 sweet! I am SO THANKFUL that we chose Emma to capture our big day. Thank you from the bottom of our heart. - Madison & Brian Ross

able. I knew she was wonderful person, but once I saw how the photos turned out I was AMAZED! Her skills are phenomenal! It was a no-brainer when I got engaged... the first phone call I made was to Emma to make sure I could secure her for my wedding. She is extremely organized and thorough in her planning /prep before the wedding. She came up with a timeline down to the minute. She captures every detail so wonderfully and with such grace and style. I have only seen the sneak-peek of my photos, but Emma is the absolute BEST. Everyone who has seen the pictures is so impressed. Emma makes you feel so beautiful and makes you laugh so your pictures turn out so genuine and candid. Her husband, Luke, also captured the day and was my videographer. I have only seen the sneak-peek teaser video, but I teared up watching it! This couple is the sweetest and is the easiest decision hands-down!!

ery prepared and her 2nd shooter was amazing as well and so fun to work with. Emma makes taking photos fun & easy! I even had several comments from our wedding party about how fun Emma was and how she did an amazing job directing our group photos. It’s not easy getting everyone to listen, especially the groomsmen, but Emma took was able to charge and get all the pictures done efficiently. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is also very detailed in making sure she captures the photos YOU want on your wedding day. Whenever I had questions about locations for our engagement photos or first look, Emma was happy to get on the phone with me and chat about my options based on what I was looking for. We received our wedding gallery last week and I was absolutely blown away about how beautiful our pictures turned out! It was so fun going through them with my husband and reliving moments from our wedding day! I especially loved looking at all the details of the day because as the bride, you don’t get to stop much and soak it all in! Thank you Emma for making such beautiful photos for us to remember everything about our special day!! We are forever grateful!

otion and excitement of the day. One of my favorite things about Emma is that she give a little sneak peek of the photos soon after the event. It is so great to be able to share those with family members that were not able to there the day after the wedding. Emma is unbelievable thoughtful and organized. When we had to postpone our original wedding date (3/28/20), she was the easiest vendor to reschedule with. When our world was in disarray, it was such a comfort to have structure that she provided. I can not say enough how much we enjoyed working with her.
