My wife and I were busy professionals planning our own wedding; we value organized partners who communicate clear and Kasey is just that. We had a few prep calls to discuss what we wanted and get to know one another and exchanged a bunch of emails beforehand. On our big day, Kasey was well prepared, tireless and super calm with all of the moving parts. He was relaxed and welcoming to our guests, but also direct and clear, to make the best use of everyone's time and attention span. We adore Kasey and could not more highly recommend him

All we had to do was hand our baby over and she took care of the rest. She spent as much time as she needed to settling our baby and getting him to sleep.

Her photos are beautiful and we felt she really captured our son's little personality. We opted to have a folio box made and are so pleased with it. It's great to have matted photos all ready to display so we can keep them in rotation. We look forward to working with her again as our son grows.

My daughter came in earlier this year for her senior photo shoot (if you're reading this around Dec. 2024, she's the little cutie in the thumbnail!). We had Sara as her photographer, and she was absolutely amazing. She made my daughter feel confident and beautiful the entire time, and took the most stunning photos. Sara had the best energy, it felt like she was just happy to be there, and genuinely enjoyed her job. We really could not have been happier with the outcome! Thank you so much for giving my girl an amazing milestone experience!

I read some reviews before going in but they were from years or months ago so I wanted to update…read morewith my personal experience. I was able to give Shelly Rose Photography two stars instead of one simply because of the experience I had in my shoot. Her assistant (I prefer not to use names of employees) was my hair, makeup and photographer because Shelly was out. I had a fantastic time with the shoot. Originally I was super nervous to do something like this but she made me feel beautiful, confident and comfortable. A glass of wine but not carded first just as an FYI, 2 outfits, 2 hours and lots of beautiful poses. I wanted so badly to give this company more stars but the problem is after the shoot. When you get in you sign a contract and get right to getting ready. After your shoot, they sit you down and discuss pricing for packages. Something that is not listed anywhere on the website or mentioned in the beginning. Also another appointment to view them in person. This is where I failed to continue my work with them. The lowest package was $500 for only 10 of your photos. The highest was up to $2,999. ALMOST 3 grand!? It isn't until you spend $1,799 that you even get digital photos or printing rights to risky photos taken of YOU. Now I get it, you expect to have to pay more after the shoot for the photos but come on, $2,999 is like 4 car payments for me. I couldn't in good conscience spend that kind of money on photos of myself. $150 dollar certificate off of the Maines best deals website wasted just to drive 30 minutes through a snowstorm because their cancellation policy is also ridiculous and not get my photos. Maybe somebody out there has that kind of money but I sure don't.

I love the style and how well they blended the natural environment and elements of our venue into the shots. There's a great balance between the details and the documentary style shots, and candid portraits of the wedding party and guests. Leading up to the wedding, we had no problem getting our questions answered and paying through their online invoicing system. We were able to visit the office and meet our photographers ahead of time and the whole experience was wonderful. We were welcomed with warmth and cupcakes! They pay attention to the details of the whole experience. This is a top-notch company. I had two disappointments (which is the reason why I didn't give a 5-star review. It would be 4.5 if I could!). The first is that photog team did not set up any fill lights for the formal portraits. I should have asked about this ahead of time, but I thought it was standard for professional portraits. At least at every wedding I have been to, there were a few diffusers or flashes set up even if the shooters were photojournalism/documentary style wedding photographers. The faces and eye sockets are more shadowed than I would have hoped. Also, in retrospect, we weren't getting any fun alternate angles for the group portraits, like looking over our shoulders, holding out our bouquets, holding hands, or moving to have a different background such as the lake in addition to having trees as the background. Alas! The second disappointment is that despite two photogs being there for over an hour while there was live music at our reception, we didn't receive a single image of the amazing seven-piece band in action. I would definitely recommend emilie inc. - just make sure you communicate about exactly what your expectations are ahead of time. Once the wedding schedule gets rolling, it is hard to remember your photography wish list. There are more important things to focus on, like being present for your loved ones and celebration! :)

Finding the right photographer you can rely on to capture the essence and beauty of a wedding can be a stressful task for any bride. That is why I set out to select a photographer as one of my first tasks after getting engaged. I am very fortunate to know a lot of wonderful wedding photographers but felt the best connection to Emilie. I knew from the beginning that we were in good hands. Emilie even called to talk to me about my vision for the wedding on her family vacation to Disney! She works masterfully with angles and lighting to capture moments in the most creative and elegant ways possible. We loved the way she interacted with us and our guests to make us all feel comfortable and at ease throughout the ceremony and reception. Emilie captures emotion at its purest and most candid moments, so that when you look back, you can easily relive those precious memories. Emilie definitely helped make our day feel even more special, and we're so incredibly happy with our choice of selecting her as our photographer to capture one of the most important days of our lives. We supremely recommend her!

Fast forward to last year, I work at a dental office and all three providers wanted a new headshot and a group photo. Stewart Smith immediately came to mind, he promptly responded to my request and worked diligently with our tight deadline. These photos are the premier headline on all of our social media pages, website and marketing material. Our doctors were even looking to do a photo shoot for our 2018 Christmas card. I don't think we have ever had more fun during a photo shoot! Picture 3 dentists jumping off of chairs in the waiting room, wearing Christmas onesies in winter hats! This picture was the talk of the dental community. We recently just finished our 2019 Christmas card photo shoot and although it didn't seem possible, Stewart yet again has created a photo that will sure be the talk of the holidays. He is a very talented photographer in not only professional headshots and fun/creative/out of the box photo shoot like we had, but also weddings, local scenery and much more! I recommend taking a look at his website and social media pages to see some of his talented work! We will definitely be using Stewart in the future!

My wife and I got married in May in New Hampshire and from the very beginning to the very end of the process, Stewart was prompt, professional, and so so kind. He was so deliberate about the choices he made when shooting us, and he made every decision with genuine care and an eye towards what we would like best. On top of an extremely pleasant and stress-free process, the pictures he took were out of this world. All of the heart he put into taking the photos is more than evident. There are loads of fun, silly pictures, which we loved. There are also a ton of super creative ones that we would NEVER have thought to take and now are our favorites. It was just terrific. You're not going to find a photographer who does a better job and loves what they do more than Stewart Smith.
