“Emma was an incredible photographer. Her communication was excellent, even with our struggles to correspond. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond, delivering amazing photos quickly. She mingled well with guests, and during the ceremony, we barely noticed her presence. Despite our dislike for photos, Emma captured beautiful images we will cherish forever. We loved getting to know her and highly recommend her.”
