So happy we booked Emma!
We knew Emma from my brother's wedding, which she photographed, and we loved how friendly and easy to work with she was. We were thrilled to book her for our own wedding! She even offered to do engagement photos in San Francisco beforehand, which was a great touch and made us comfortable with her well before the big day. We got married at Cafe Brauer in Chicago, and the photos turned out incredible. She helped us feel completely natural and kept everything relaxed and fun. We couldn't be happier with how everything came out!
Emma Mullins•May 29, 2026Thank you so much for sharing this, Declan :) I absolutely loved being part of your day, and couldn't be happier for you and Marisa. It was such a treat seeing so many familiar faces, too! Thank you again for having me last fall!!

Emma and her whole team truly delivered everything they said they would and more. Their team navigated a tough day, meeting challenges of weather and an unprepared team, along with the normal stresses of a wedding, with the experience of over 15 years in the business. Her creativity is unmatched. Her passion for the industry and by proxy your day full of memories, are in capable, and thoughtful hands. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat yesterday.
Emma Mullins•Apr 21, 2026Thanks so much for sharing this, Brigid!!! We are absolutely honored to have been part of your day. Thank you again for trusting us to capture your memories. All my best to you, Ryan, and your families :)

Emma made our dreams come true
We are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)
Emma Mullins•Dec 7, 2025Nick, this is such a kind review! Thank you so much for sharing!! It was an absolute honor to capture your wedding day, and I will never forget the surprise rain during your engagement session :) Thank you again for having us! CONGRATS again to you and Moira!!!

Loved Working with Emma and Her Team!
Working with Emma Mullins and her team was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Emma took the time to truly get to know us, what mattered most to us, and how she could capture our story in a way that felt authentic. As two people who are a bit camera-shy, we were amazed at how natural and comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. Her warmth, professionalism, and easygoing personality instantly put us at ease. One thing that stood out was how incredibly prepared and thoughtful Emma was every step of the way. She provided us with so many helpful recommendations leading up to the big day: everything from navigating the permit process at the Honeycomb in Lincoln Park to curating a list of photo types we might want to include in our wedding album. Her guidance made planning so much easier and ensured that nothing important was overlooked. On the wedding day itself, Emma and her team were absolutely phenomenal. They anticipated every moment, seamlessly blending into the background while still capturing every detail. When it unexpectedly started to rain, Emma didn’t miss a beat. She had brought along beautiful, photogenic umbrellas so we could keep our outdoor shoot going without stress. That level of preparedness and care is something we will never forget. Our photos turned out more stunning than we could have ever imagined. They perfectly reflect the joy, love, and emotion of the day, and we’ll treasure them for a lifetime. Emma’s artistry, dedication, and thoughtfulness are unmatched. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who not only produces incredible images but also makes the entire experience stress-free, fun, and memorable, we cannot recommend Emma Mullins enough. She is a true gem, and we are endlessly grateful to her and her team.
