A Delightful Experience!
The absolute best
She captured exactly what we wanted in our ceremony. It was funny, sweet, and genuine. Our religious family didn't even notice the exclusion of religious elements. The humor was so us. We Rick rolled our guests and it was glorious.
The whole process prior to the ceremony was designed to bring us together. I loved the vow writing workshop.
Emily is the best and we cannot recommend more
