Thank you, again, for giving us our most memorable gift, one that will give us many years of beautiful memories. :: Alison, Bride I highly recommend Emily Kicklighter as a wedding photographer.

Her journalistic style suited us perfectly, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. :: Barbara, Mother of the bride Emily, these are GREAT! I honestly have never liked myself in pictures and I don't know how you do it, but I love these! You did an awesome job! :: Christi, Bride On the most memorable day of our lives, you caught our hearts in your photographs. You captured the love we have for our daughter and our new son and provided memories for us that we'll cherish for a lifetime. You captured scenes that we were too busy to see. The joy of our daughter's future was in her eyes, and you saw it too. AND, you were IN CHARGE--what a relief for us! :: Tom and Charlotte, Parents of the bride Emily was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. She was professional yet very pleasant; flexible yet careful to keep us on schedule. Her strengths were capturing the beauty of the bride as well as the setting. We received our wedding pictures promptly, and they are wonderful. They provide a pictorial storybook of our daughter's wedding day. :: Mary, Mother of the bride Thank you so much for capturing such beautiful memories with your pictures. We will treasure them always. :: Jodi, Bride The photos are lovely! We have looked through them repeatedly, and every time we find a new shot to get excited about. You did a fantastic job.

Thanks for giving us your wonderful talent! :: Catherine, Bride We are so happy with the pictures and wish we could order ALL of them! You are a great photographer, and we appreciate all the time and effort you put into making Isabelle and Chris's wedding so memorable.

Since you've come this far into my website, you must love candid, life-loving photos and want more than just the traditional line-ups of family members and friends.

This spontaneous, creative, and candid style results in photos that will warm your heart and retell your special day over and over in the coming years.
