INITIAL MEETING
You have inquired - yay! That means it's time for our initial meeting. I want to learn all about what you have planned so far (it might not be much and that's okay). I also want to know how you two are as people, I mean let's be honest, we will be working together for a while and I want to get to know who you are. During our conversation we will talk about as many details as you would like and I will go over my process of wedding photography and how I can serve you on your big day. My goal is to be as transparent and easy to work with as possible, kiss your stress goodbye!

Consider me a guide to your big day who can answer your questions and send helpful emails to you as you prepare.

Emily is the best photographer out there! She was a delight to work with and she captured every angle of our wedding that we wanted! She went above and beyond for us capturing drone photos, funny moments, behind the scenes sneak peaks, detail shots, and many more aspects of our wedding day that we didn’t even think of! She’s hilariously full of funny moments that help you feel comfortable like you’re doing a photo shoot with a friend. She really did an amazing job capturing my wife and I’s best angles, poses, lighting, and even bridal party as well! She is reliable, polite, quick to respond, thorough in her work, and as professional as you want her to be! 20/5 stars!
"She went above and beyond for us"
Madi & Ryan
If you’re looking for a photographer you can stop searching because EmmiClaire Photography is the best hands down! Emily is great at what she does. She’s professional and skilled, but also a great person to work with. My husband does not smile for pictures so I knew out engagement shoot and wedding day would be interesting, but Emily is so good at making you feel comfortable and catching shots of you in the moment which led to so many beautiful pictures. I’m so happy I have beautiful photos with my husband actually smiling that I get to cherish for a lifetime. Emily made the entire process so simple for us and captured so many beautiful memories from our special day. I can’t say thank you enough. I highly recommend her!
"EmmiClaire Photography is the best hands down!"
Kristina & Nate
Emily is amazing! My fiance and I had our engagement session with her a few months ago - she completely blew our expectations out of the water! She is so much fun, responsive, professional, and she makes you feel so comfortable behind the camera.
"..completely blew our expectations out of the water!
Christina & Preston
We could not have picked a better photographer than Emily! From the start she was so friendly and personal and just wanted to get to know more about me and my husband as a couple. She was very responsive leading up to the wedding and answered any and all questions we had. The pictures turned out beautifully and I cannot stop looking at them. I could not recommend her more for any of your picture needs!
"The end product turned out amazing and the quality couldn’t have been better!"
Trip & Lynne
Generally speaking, EmmiClaire Photography clients can expect to receive an average of 100 images per hour of coverage. Images will include formal shots, candid moments, as well as portraits and detail shots.
How many photos will I receive?
Please fill out this contact form. We’ll get to know each other a bit and you can give me all the details about your wedding (so far). When you’re ready to book, I’ll send a contract and invoice for your review and signature. Payment of a non-refundable retainer will be due in order to reserve your date. The retainer amount is a percentage based on your total wedding package price.
What is the next step to book you as my wedding photographers?
I seize every opportunity I can to travel for business or leisure. So whether you’ve planned a destination wedding or are hosting your wedding outside of our home bases in Jacksonville, FL and Richmond VA, I’m ready to make it work! For detailed information regarding pricing for travel and destination weddings, please contact me.
Do you travel to more than just Virginia and Florida?
We know you have questions & we are here to help!
Wedding FAQ'S
I personally edit every image in your digital gallery. However, I do not offer extreme retouching. Blemishes are edited on a case by case basis at my discretion. All edited images are delivered in JPEG format. I do not deliver raw images to my clients.
What type of editing services do you provide?
Your first glimse will come 48 hours after your wedding! We send a few sneak peeks for you to relive the memories before heading off to your honeymoon. Then you can expect you full gallery within six weeks. Once you have your gallery, I'll guide you through selecting your favorite images to craft a beautiful album you can share with generations to come. Albums, prints, and other photo products may take up to 10 weeks to receive.
How long will it take to receive my wedding images?
Do you deliver every image you shoot?
If your wedding venue is within the Richmond, VA or Jacksonville, FL area, chances are EmmiClaire Photography has had the privilege of photographing there. However, my clients can rest easy knowing that I work well with venues of all shapes and sizes. If I have not photographed your venue, I take the time to research the venue ahead of time and perform a detailed walkthrough (digitally or in person) in order to scout the best locations for your wedding photos!
Have you worked at/with my venue?
EmmiClaire Photography currently offers 6 and 8 hours wedding packages that we can adjust up or down to ensure you get all the coverage you desire! We also have fun add-ons like drone wedding photography, wedding day content creation (stunning Reels to help you relive the day as if you were there!), and additional hours for rehearsal dinners or whole wedding weekend coverage. You'll find most of our packages and pricing on our Investment page.
How many/what kind of wedding photography packages do you offer?
When a photographer is assigned the task of working from an extremely detailed shot list, (s)he can often miss those truly meaningful and candid precious moments. That’s why, in general, I prefer to work from a family portrait shot list only. However, if there’s something specific you’d like photographed, communicate that to me and I’ll do my best to make it happen!
Do you use a shot list?
Inclement weather is just one of the few hiccups that most wedding vendors deal with on a regular basis, and EmmiClaire Photography is no different. We will monitor the weather in the days leading up to your event and coordinate with your venue and wedding planner to determine the best locations for your photos. Rest assured that, barring a natural disaster, EmmiClaire Photographer works hard to ensure that we provide the very best experience and images possible regardless of the weather!
How do you handle inclement weather?
A second shooter is an additional photographer who agrees to work with your primary photographer to capture your wedding day. Each of EmmiClaire Photography’s full-day packages include a second shooter so you can rest assured that we capture ALL the images you could possibly want of your wedding day. For more information about what a second shooter does, read our blog post: Two Photographers are Better Than One.
What is a second shooter and what do they do?
Absolutely! Samples of EmmiClaire Photography’s work can be seen on Instagram, our website, and our blog. If you’re interested in seeing a full wedding gallery from start to finish, please contact us directly so I can send you a link to access a real client gallery.
Can I see samples of your work?
Wedding days rarely, if ever, go exactly as planned. Often, that means you may want to extend your photography coverage. If your wedding runs over your contracted amount of time, EmmiClaire Photography will ask if you’d like to extend. If you choose to extend, you will be charged the rate set out in your contract rounded to the closes 30 minute increment.
What happens if I exceed the time allotted for photography in my contract?
Every wedding is different, so there’s no one right answer to this question. However, I advise you book your photographer from the time you begin getting ready through the end of your reception, and add an hour just in case you’re running behind schedule. For more information about your photography timeline, read our blog post: How Long Do You Need for Wedding Photography?
For how many hours should I book EmmiClaire Photography on my wedding day?
