The BEST decision we made for our wedding was hiring Ether and Smith, Emma and Allen, as our photographers. I still am so blown away by the experience we had working with them. They are incredibly personal and go above and beyond to make you feel excited and prepared for your wedding day.

Emma was so knowledgeable about engagement locations that match your aesthetic, and we went with her recommendation for our engagement shoot. My husband and I are not really photo people, but we had SO much fun. Emma is confident and gave great direction for natural, elegant shots. After this shoot, we knew we had hit the jackpot with this team. Our engagement photos are STILL the talk of our friends months later.

When our wedding day finally came, we were so completely at ease knowing Emma and Allen were going to get great shots, which allowed us to enjoy our wedding and be 100 percent present in our day! They have such an eye for classic, timeless, romantic, fun, soft, beauty shots. All our friends and family were so impressed watching them work. They finished are edits so so early and we are in love with the photos. Every, single, one of them. They captured the big moments, and all the meaningful small moments too. We are so grateful to this team for making our photography dreams come true.

Bride Here: Ether & Smith is AWESOME! Our wedding planner sent over a page full of potential photographers and Emma’s beautiful style and approach to photography stood out and really worked with how we were hoping to document our day. She is extremely talented and knows just how to use the light and venue to make the perfect photos. We were SO excited to hear they were available on our date and Emma was so great taking me through the various photography options and she worked with me to get the scope to exactly what we needed. And man were we not disappointed. Both our engagement and wedding photos were everything we could have hoped for. She really spends the time to learn what you are looking for and then she executes it perfectly.
Not only are the photos at the end of the day literally our most prized possession, but the whole process was SO organized. A lot goes into making sure you get the photos you are looking for on your wedding day and Emma has it down to a science so you do not have to worry about anything. You get all the key photos you would expect and then some. She helped us make the list of family portraits that we had to get and then took those photos in such a fun and efficient way. We didn't feel rushed but we also had A LOT to get through and she did them all. She also had a great survey filled with real wedding examples photos to gauge the other photos you're looking for. Details around what an unplugged ceremony means and how that changes the photos to questions like were we looking for more or less candid shots of our guest. I really cannot put into words how much this planning and organization impressed me but also made the wedding day STRESS FREE. We just had fun and Emma and Allen did the rest.
My husband (see his notes below) HATES taking photos. At every family event it is like pulling teeth to get him to be in a photo, he is always trying to take the photo so he gets out of it… Emma made taking photos so so fun. We both had a great time and felt so comfortable. Emma is directing you the whole time and helping you get the perfect shot, angle, smile, etc. She is saying things to make you laugh and keeping you moving so you end up with a variety of poses and locations. We almost passed on the engagement shoot as we had already sent out our save the dates but I am so glad we didn't. It really was the best practice round for our big day and it gave both me and my husband the confidence to just enjoy the wedding and know that Emma will make sure we get all the shots. Also Emma helps you think through ALL the possible engagement shoot locations and outfits. She puts together the perfect set of photos that complement our wedding photos and are also perfect for our wedding website!
We can't recommend Ether & Smith enough. They were perfect for us and we are so happy to have these photos as our memories from this time in our life. Also did we mention they send the photos really fast! Emma over delivers on everything.
Groom here: I hate taking photos. I normally have a 3-5 photo limit for any event, so having to go through multiple hours of photos was not an exciting prospect. However, Emma and Allen were fantastic. Emma recommended we meet up for an engagement photo shoot prior to our wedding so we can learn the process and get comfortable working together. It was an excellent recommendation. She not only made the process fun and enjoyable, but the pictures she took were incredible! The day of the wedding our photo session went flawlessly. She and Allen were great to work with and got amazing shots of us and our guests! Stop waiting and book them for your wedding!
