About Emma Lili Photography

Emma Allen

Owner and Lead Photographer

I’m a Charleston based wedding photographer but I absolutely love to travel! I create timeless, joyful & tangible memories for my clients. I want you to look at your photos years later and remember that laugh or those Eskimo kisses or from saying your vows, to having your first dance, I am there to capture these moments and everything in-between. The photos you will have from your wedding day will tell your happily ever after…

I started my business not because I love weddings and believe in love, of course those are top reasons but I started mine because I value capturing loved ones. Having lost most of my family I not only know the importance of having beautiful images of your loved ones from your wedding day, but the importance of actually being able to celebrate with them. One promise I can give all my couples is I will treat your loved ones like family and I will not monopolize the day with overly posed photos, I will get the must need posed images and capture the remaining of the day through a photojournalistic, candid approach.

    Emma is the best! When we found out we were pregnant I knew I wanted her to take either newborn or maternity photos. She had already captured our engagement photos and they were AMAZING! Our newborn shoot was no different. She was so accommodating and we were able to go with the flow with our newborn. She had ideas that I didn't even think of and I am so happy I let her take the lead. I will cherish these photos as my baby grows up and I would highly recommend Emma!

    Emma Lili was the most perfect photographer to capture our special moment! My fiancé had her take photos during our proposal on a sailboat in Charleston and she did such an incredible job! It took a lot of skill and experience and she did it flawlessly while also bringing such positive energy to the experience. We were blown away at the photos and will cherish them forever! My fiancé also had a great experience with communicating and planning the moment with her before hand. Highly recommend!

    From our first conversation, I knew Emma was the perfect match to capture my daughter's wedding. Her enthusiasm and attention to detail gave me confidence in her abilities. Emma's portfolio showcased her talent, and her personality made the planning process enjoyable. I felt reassured that she would understand our vision and bring it to life. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better choice for our special day. Emma strives to capture the candid moments. She and her team nailed every aspect of what she said they would do. She captured every moment and even the side-eye my son-in-law gave when the officiant asked if anyone opposed the marriage. The picture is hilarious. Emma maximized our time to the fullest, so we were able to enjoy the day without feeling like we were constantly taking pictures. Emma and the team were always present, capturing natural moments that we will forever be grateful for. It has been five months since the wedding, and I constantly get feedback from my guests on the amazing job Emma and the team did. We had to execute the rain plan the morning of the wedding, and the ceremony was under a tent on the waterfront. I almost forgot it was tented because she edited out the tent in the pictures. We never discussed it; she just did it. We also utilized Emma for our videography.She was the only professional I found who delivered a teaser video, a 4-5 min video, and a full movie 45 min long of all the highlights.I cry tears of joy every time we watch them.The editing is over the top.Book her for the photography and video! Did I mention she also gifted the bride and groom an album of some of their selected photos? I cannot put into words how happy we all are with the services Emma and her team provided. If I ever have the chance to host another wedding, Emma Lili is hired! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Emma so much!

    Emma Lili Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! Their communication style was detailed, friendly, and always happy to answer any questions we had. The quality of their work was truly professional, with a fun and vibrant mix of color and timeless black and white photos. They were incredibly flexible when we needed to make last-minute schedule changes, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera - it felt like we had known them forever. We are thrilled with the beautiful memories they captured of our special day. Emma and her team are incredibly talented!
