KIND WORDS
"We knew the moments of the day would be beautiful, and fleeting...
Her photos give us the sense of omniscience—of knowing what the night felt like for each person there—while also bringing us intimately close to the day and each other."

"So many wedding photographers say that they have a documentary style, but [Emily] truly does. Her photographs are deeply honest in every way—whether it's the colors or the emotions she captures. [Emily] brings such a level of integrity to the medium of photography."

"Emily was everything in a wedding photographer we could ever ask for.
Her vision accompanied with compassion and flexibility is unparalleled. Her work is a beautiful blend of art and reality that is able to capture the essence of love!!
She agreed to travel to the beautiful island of Sri Lanka to document our wedding and we could not have been any happier with the pictures."

"Emily Nystrom is absolutely remarkable and she is incredibly gifted. The work of her hands is lovely, memorable, thoughtful, intentional, and priceless. Emily is a photographer with pure talent... She naturally captured the beauty of our wedding, which allowed me to focus on the splendor of our sweet day. We are completely blown away by the work of Emily's hands and the peace she brought throughout the day. If you are considering Emily for your photography needs, run don't walk. She is pure magic."

"Emily was above our expectations. She was supportive and open minded and she was just so natural and down to earth. It was so easy having her around and she made the day even more special by helping us focus on us and why we were getting married."

"Working with Emily was a joy.
She was thoughtful from the moment we contacted her...And during our wedding day, she was so honoring of our desires and considerate of everyone involved. She cultivated honest moments of connection... Our portrait session was my favorite part of my wedding day; Emily created a safe haven where my husband and I were able to slow down and be present with each other.
The photography was excellent, honoring, beautiful, and authentic to who we are as people. I'm so grateful that Emily was our wedding photographer and would choose her again every time."

“Emily ensured she understood the vision we had for our wedding, so she could capture it just the way we wanted. She is the professional, the encourager, and the creative vision you want standing next to you to capture life's biggest moments. We would choose her 1,000 times over again. We knew Emily took amazing photographs but also knew the venue for our ceremony presented a challenge for balancing the contrasts in lighting. Emily's technical photography skills really impressed us as all the ceremony photos came out wonderfully!”

"Choosing a photographer for our event was as big a decision as we made during the grueling “wedding prep” season. We knew the moments of the day would be beautiful, and fleeting, and that we would miss most of them. We wanted to see the smiles on each guest’s face, to enjoy the sunset over the vineyard, and to be able to fully absorb all the magic of the night. Emily Nystrom gave us access to all of this. She captured the day, moment after moment, in such a way that we can look back and enjoy each on in turn, at our leisure. She was professional, unobtrusive, and incredibly fun to have with the wedding party. Most significantly, Emily made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Her photos give us the sense of omniscience—of knowing what the night felt like for each person there—while also bringing us intimately close to the day and each other."

"Emily went above and beyond to capture our wedding, and our photos are breathtaking, most people tell us they are the best wedding photos they've ever seen. We got married in the Smokey Mountains one week after the wildfires went through the area...In the midst of all the craziness, Emily was calm, went with the flow, and did a fantastic job replanning the photography for the day...
She captured the wedding beautifully and yet we were still able to really experience our wedding day. Nothing was staged or put on, and she captured the moments of the day and our emotions throughout wonderfully.
I've been in and helped plan numerous weddings, and this was the best photography experience I've encountered. We didn't feel like we were in a photo shoot the whole day, but yet it was so organized that we didn't have to worry that photos being taken. My husband and I are not very photogenic people in normal circumstances, but Emily captured us naturally and gave us the best photos we could have asked for."
