Nicole is a fantastic photographer! My family has been using her for the last 3 years to do a…read morefamily vacation photo shoot and each year the pictures get better and better! She's an LBI local who's very familiar with the best spots to capture photographs. She's super personable and easy to get along with, which makes for a relaxing photo session. Our family photo shoots involve 6 adults and 3 kids and she captures everyone along with smaller groups (like grandparents with the grandkids or individual families). She is patient and understanding and knows how crazy it can be when kids get tired or rambunctious. She can do multiple locations for photo shoots - just recently we did the beach for some pics and then headed to Sunset Park to use as another location. In years past we used the lighthouse. I would highly recommend Nicole to capture any family memories, whether it's a wedding or, if you're like us, on vacation and want to get professional photos to capture everyone. Kids grow up quick and we're so grateful to have these beautiful keepsakes to look back on!

This review is extremely overdue! Nicole shot our wedding on 2/16/20 at the Park Chateau as well…read moreas engagement photos and she was incredible! Nicole was beyond helpful throughout the process, was easily accessible for questions, patient, and super organized (which is HUGE)! From the first time we sat with Nicole, I knew that she was an addition we wanted for our special day. Nicole basically serves as a day-of-coordinator with the detailed timeline she puts together for the day (sorry I deviated from it sometimes LOL). Nicole has the best personality and the ability to get a group to focus so pictures can be completed efficiently! Our parents and bridal party loved her and her second shooter, Mel. Nicole was also open to suggestions throughout the day if I felt like I wanted a specific photo in the moment. We received SO MANY photos back with our full album, each one better than the next, making it so difficult to choose a photo for our canvas and pick our album! Thank you Nicole for making what can be a stressful process so seamless with your knowledge, poise, and flexibility. I would hands down choose you again if I could to be apart of our special day. Nicole truly loves what she does and it shows in her work. Look no further, she is your girl!

Stephanie Jones photography jumped in to photo shoot our wedding very last minute when my other…read morephotographer backed out on us last minute. She showed up on time, very professional, got every shot I wanted... and more. Our wedding turned out to be slightly difficult since it was pouring rain and stephanie still met us at the dock near the water and got some fabulous shots even in the pouring rain. I chose not to have videography, but she captured some fabulous moments throughout my whole wedding day. I will be using her again in our future and would recommend you do as well. She has a great artistic eye, loves what she does, professional, honest, and very reliable. I was so very happy with the pictures she produced.

Stephanie got the perfect mix of posed and candid shots, and captured all of the specific items we requested. She's so easy-going and professional and really made us feel at ease. We cherish our photos beyond words; we'd highly recommend Stephanie!

My first wedding photographer did not work out and it was so overwhelming trying to find a new one…read more My cousin recommended Emely because she booked her for her own wedding and as soon as I checked out her website, I was in love. Emely and I did not meet before my wedding day, but through social media I felt like I had known her forever by the time the wedding day came. She was so quick to answer e-mails and phone calls and booking with her was 1-2-3. I loved that she offered a payment plan so we did not have to worry about anything the day of. When you book with Emely, you aren't getting just a photographer. You get someone with a great personality that makes taking pictures fun, and not awkward. She was there for me all day and helped with ANYTHING I needed, even when I thought I would explode from wedding day stress. I cannot wait to see how my photos come out and I cannot thank her enough to making my wedding day special.
