Emily + Thomas make for such an amazing photography team. I've been following her blog for a long time, all starry-eyed, thinking that when my time came around (one day!)...I had to have her document my wedding day. Her photos make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. She has a knack for capturing the sunlight and people in their natural element. It's most definitely the best friend vibe you get from Emily + Thomas as soon as you meet them that probably makes a difference in their photos (especially being at ease in front of the camera and fun company following us around all day is a plus). Rain or shine (and we had both on our wedding day), they capture some dreamy photos. She was with me every step of the way, from engagement photo session advice to wedding day timeline. She'll tease you with photos and sweet messages through her social media outlets, fill your heart with hugs, and once you see the final photo collection in all its glory, it will take your breath away. We love you Emily + Thomas! We can't thank you enough for all the beautiful wedding day memories!
Emily is the best photographer you could hire! She's most definitely worth the money you will spend. She's so friendly to work with and she will make you so comfortable during all your photos. I am a family photographer and as a photographer you cannot skimp on the wedding photography. I REPEAT, you must leave room in your budget for a great wedding photographer! I had a small beach wedding on a weekday and very much needed a photographer to accommodate me. Even though my wedding was small, Emily was on time and did a phenomenal job photographing the wedding. One thing I really appreciated was that she sends you a questionnaire and shot list for you to fill out. This helps her know the couple and family needs better. What is also special about Emily is she photographs in both digital and film formats. You will get digital and film scans of your wedding, which is very rare. Don't think twice and book her while you can! She provided all my photos in an online gallery and I received tons of photos in less than a month!
Hiring Emily Katharine Photography was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, aside from the decision to marry my wonderful husband! They went above and beyond from the very beginning. Emily is wonderfully responsive, both Emily and Thomas did their best to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera during the Engagement shoots, and they blew both my husband and I away on the wedding day in so many ways. They were worth every penny we paid for them, and I could not be happier with the photos, which we will cherish forever. My advice? Just do it!
Working with Emily is an absolute pleasure! She and her assistant Thomas truly make you feel that you are a star. My Fiance and I worked with them to shoot our engagement photos. One word that can sum up the experience would have to be AMAZING! From their professionalism to their passion, Emily Katharine Photography is a top notch business that met and far exceeded our expectations. While we were shooting, Emily made us feel so comfortable which allowed our pictures to resonate a completely natural feel. She both coached us and worked with us on poses. It was wonderful because we got all of the shots we wanted and more. I highly recommend this photographer for any of your photo needs. I can’t wait for her to shoot our wedding! The BEST experience with photos we have ever had. Thank you so much Emily!
Where do I even begin to describe our experience with Emily? I could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. But she is so much more than that. She went above and beyond any expectations that I could have ever had. Planning a Florida wedding from New York is difficult enough. From the minute that I contacted her we set up a skype date to get to know each other and she started helping me plan the timeline for the day of and suggesting businesses to work with. She really got to know my husband and I on a personal level and by the time the wedding rolled around I felt like I had known Emily forever. During the entire experience she was a joy to work with, very professional and she CARED. She wasn't there just to take some pictures and make some money. She wants to tell your story and she does it flawlessly. By the end of the day she was really a part of the wedding party; our friends loved her too! I could go on and on about Emily. Bottom line - Stop thinking about it and book her already! You won't find anyone better for the job and you will be 110% satisfied.
My wife and I had the great pleasure of working with Emily and Thomas for our wedding in November. They are extremely professional, accommodating, creative and helpful. To begin, they arrived early and were immediately prepared to start capturing the day. The intimate moments Emily and Thomas captured of both the girls and guys getting ready, laughing, sharing cheers and tears were spectacular.
Emily suggested the idea of doing a “First Look”. I was apprehensive at first because I thought it would take away from that moment when you see your bride for the first time walking down the aisle. I could not be happier for taking her advice. It was the best moment of the entire event for me. Being able to feel anxious, excited and emotional without having to hold it together for the crowd was a moment I will never forget. The moment I turned around, I couldn't help but fall even more in love with her and be able to cry, laugh and embrace each other in such an intimate setting. We also did our bridal portraits and bridal party shots prior to the ceremony, again Emily’s idea. With only the family pictures left to do after the ceremony, we were able to actually enjoy the cocktail hour and give thanks to our guests. The rest of the night was captured with great elegance. Emily and Thomas made everyone feel so comfortable and even walked us through cutting the cake with style. We were absolutely thrilled with the results and LOVED the teasers that Emily would post to Facebook and Instagram. Our wedding pictures arrived about a month later, blowing all of our expectations out of the water! To anyone looking for a world class photographer to work with for your wedding and/or engagement pictures, Emily Katharine Photography comes highly recommended. Thank you so much Emily and Thomas, we couldn't imagine working with anyone else!

This review will not be able to give enough praise for The Ganeys. They are the whole package. Their talent is obvious; look at their pictures (they use film guys...) and you'll be able to tell this isn't a normal wedding photographer. It's truly an art for them. But aside from their photography skills, what really sets the Ganeys apart is the simple fact that they are great people. They truly invest in their couples and do everything they can for them. From time management on the big day, planning your timeline along with your venue/coordinator, and keeping the bridal party and guests focused, to being available and responsive whenever a question pops up, The Ganeys always give extra care to ensure your day goes as smoothly as possible. Photography is a very intimate and personal detail on your wedding day. You can be sure The Ganeys will capture every moment and will photograph your wedding as if it was their own.
Emily & Thomas photographed my wedding in October 2016. I fell in love with Emily's use of film and natural light in her work (which I found randomly somewhere on the Internet - I am so glad I did!), and when I contacted Emily, she was immediately responsive and helpful. Emily truly cares about her clients, and she brings genuine enthusiasm for love and weddings that comes through in her beautiful work.
Emily and Thomas were enthusiastic about traveling three states away to meet us for an engagement shoot. They didn't blink at staying with me, or at their introduction to my fiance when he called them "stranger danger"! They were professional but also fun - they put us at ease being photographed (one part of the wedding process I'd particularly dreaded), and we became friends (not just photographers/clients - Emily truly works to build relationships). Our engagement and wedding photographs are everything we could've asked for and more - Emily and Thomas have a knack of blending in and capturing unscripted moments on which we'll look back and remember forever. Several of our wedding guests complimented Emily and Thomas for somehow managing to be everywhere at once and, again, for their enduring professionalism and happiness to be a part of the celebration. Photography was a priority for me in wedding planning. Emily was my first choice photographer - and even though I know Emily and Thomas had a long day shooting a wedding the day before ours, they made us feel like we were the only client they had! We love, love, love our wedding photographs and will treasure them forever! I highly recommend Emily Katharine Photography and cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily and Thomas!

Emily's creativity, attention to detail and professionalism were absolutely amazing - a true asset for every bride-to-be. I am forever grateful for the way Emily captured every moment of our wedding, and I will treasure her photos for years to come. Plus, her blog writing was spot on - she brought our love story to life with such beautiful words. I will highly recommend Emily always!
Emily Katharine Photography is a phenomenal company and the photographers, Emily & Thomas, are the definition of professionals in the wedding and photography industries. We had a great chemistry with Emily, right off the bat, with her warmth and knowledgeability. She was able to gauge and accommodate our photographic needs based on our personal styles and how we wanted to remember our event.
It was very important for us to have a great communicator in our vendors because we were planning our Florida wedding from Nashville, TN. Imagine our relief when we booked with Emily Katharine Photography, we guaranteed ourselves a vendor that was on time to our event and responded to our questions & concerns swiftly.
