Our wedding day was an absolute dream and we cannot thank Emily Paulson and her associates enough for capturing every moment of it in perfect way! Emily was incredibly professional through the whole process and we had a couple of very easy meetings to make a plan for the day off. On the big day, Emily’s associates were very personable and were and gave great direction to us on poses which gave us the sweetest photos. They also went above and beyond by helping the events run on time and I didn’t have to stress at all about the photos staying on schedule. We received a sneak peek of the photos during the week after the wedding on our honeymoon and the rest of the photos barely a month after the wedding. I have heard horror stories of waiting months for photos and was so happy that we received them so quickly! The photos are easily accessible online and easy to download as well. We absolutely love the photos and photo quality and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience overall. Thanks to Emily and her team for capturing the love my husband and I have for each other with such gorgeous work!

Emily was our photographer for our wedding. From the moment we met her, we knew she would do great! Such a sweet girl who could light up a room with her smile. She makes you feel so comfortable when photographing you. My husband and I haven’t belly laughed as much as we did during our engagement session and wedding photos. Emily and her assistant took so many photos at our wedding that captured our day perfectly. We love every single photo we got back. If you’re looking for someone to make your wedding day even more enjoyable to look back on, Emily is your girl!
— Gretchen & Grant
We had a phenomenal experience working with Emily and her associate Morgan! The photos that they captured were better than we could’ve imagined! Emily helped us feel confident and comfortable throughout our entire wedding day. She helped keep our schedule on track and cheered us on each step of the way. The turnaround time for the photos was also quick. Overall we are blown away by our experience and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
— Taylor and Joe
Emily is the sweetest person ever. She was easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable. She has good ideas and also makes sure that she does YOUR ideas as well. She remembered what I wanted to do more than I remembered. She remained calm and collected even though our ceremony got rained out and had to be changed almost 100%.She was very understanding with the idea of not having a big wedding and was very accommodating. Also, her pictures are gorgeous. I even referenced a few of hers for ideas that I wanted to do! We really appreciate her. I feel not a lot of people would be patient when it comes to shooting in the rain. She was positive and kept letting us know that the pictures will turn out even better because of the lighting. I will definitely recommend Emily!
— Mitra and David
Emily was professional and we love the results and pictures that she delivered. She was a joy to work with throughout the process, including not only our wedding day but also our engagement shoot. She’s personable and really helped to put us both at ease. She worked with us throughout the entire process, and we loved being able to have her help us set our timeline and the ability to download our full set of photos she delivered (early I might add). Cannot recommend her enough.
— Helen and Cal
Emily and Associate Morgan were both AMAZING!! Morgan was such a sweet hearted individual and made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped to guide us through poses. Morgan also worked great with our videographer! Emily’s editing is beautiful! There were a few photos that I asked Emily to touch up and she did it, no questions asked and very timely! Everyone was shocked with how quickly we received our photos back. I am completely in love them them and so glad we chose to go with Emily Paulson Photography
— Amber and Zach
Emily Paulson Photography did an amazing job. My fiancé and I couldn’t be happier and I would recommend this company to anyone! Emily was so accommodating- my fiancé, Caleb, called her a week before our session and asked if he could propose during it. Emily and her associate did everything and anything to make this moment special… and they did a wonderful job doing so! I also asked Emily if we could get a sneak peek of the proposal photos and she was wonderful and sent a couple over before the gallery was finished!! I will be booking with Emily again!
— Carly and Caleb
Emily is the sweetest and so much fun! She makes any couple feel comfortable and is genuinely so excited to celebrate your day with you. Not to mention, her editing style is the perfect blend of light & airy and golden glow — love love love! As a wedding planner, I wish I worked with her more often!
— Lily
We had such an amazing experience with Emily Paulson Photography! The team went above and beyond to make our wedding photo experience the best possible. We were able to get the engagement shoot and wedding pictures of our dreams because of the team members’ talent, flexibility, and dedication to being phenomenal. Both my husband and I are not used to being in front of the camera, and appreciated how comfortable her associate made us feel. I absolutely recommend Emily Paulson Photography!
— Alicia
From the first meeting through engagement photos, our wedding date, and until our photos were received; Emily was fantastic to work with. She was a strong communicator with us and with our wedding party: we had a ton of fun while getting business taken care of. Even when things went wrong that weren’t necessary in her scope - such as my bustle coming undone - she was there to offer help. She also chose a wonderful second shooter who she worked well with and worked well with us. Their enthusiasm was contagious throughout the photo sessions and we felt like they were wedding guests by the end of the night. They accommodated special photo requests and built on those to create a custom gallery for us that really showcased our day beautifully. We can’t thank Emily enough for capturing so much emotion through her lens that day.
— Katie & Kyle
Highly Recommend Emily’s company! I’ve used her for engagement, family pictures and my wedding! We used her Associate Morgan who did a fantastic job at capturing all our moments and emily did such a great job delivering our final albums perfectly! Pictures last a lifetime- you can trust her to ensure that here! Will continue to use her for any shoots we need in the future!
— Ashley and Cory
Highly recommend!! Emily and her team have been so wonderful to work with and our photos turned out better than I ever could have hoped. Her planning tools were also SO HELPFUL!! And we received our photo back way quicker than I expected. They did a beautiful job of capturing everyone important moment & emotion of our wedding. And the gallery site the photos are delivered on is super user friendly which was a huge bonus! Thank you to Emily and her team! And a huge shoutout to associate Ivy for doing a STUNNING job capturing our day!
— Emily and Kyle
We used Emily for our newborn family photos and couldn’t be happier we did. Emily was my sisters wedding photographer, and her wedding photos were so beautiful we knew we wanted to use her for our family photos. Emily had her associate Liv come to our home to take the photos and Emily edited them. We received so many beautiful images that we will cherish forever. We are so happy we went with Emily, highly recommend her. She is so kind and professional.
— Maddie and Sean
Emily Paulson Photography is an amazing choice if you are looking for a photographer to capture the love between you and your partner!! Everything was easy going, she made both of us feel comfortable and welcomed. We would 100% book with her again!
— Alexis
My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Emily Paulson Photography for both our engagement photos and wedding day! Both Emily and her associate Nicole bent over backwards to make our day extra special! Being a ‘COVID Bride’ we had to change our wedding date and the girls were very flexible and understanding with this. Throughout the entire process Emily’s team was responsive to us whenever we reached out. They ensured all our photos on our list were taken and most of all they were fun and easy to work with! We want to thank you for capturing our love story and making us feel extra special on our big day! We will definitely be recommending Emily Paulson Photography to others!
— Megan & Ryan
We decided to work with Emily after coming across her instagram page. I was in love with the colors and the way she edited the photos that I knew we needed her to be our wedding photographer. We scheduled her to take our engagement photos and they were breathtaking. We couldn’t of been happier with the photos we received. Our wedding photos were so beautiful as well. She has a way to making your photos come to life and captures the day perfectly. It has been impossible to choose our favorites because we have loved them all.
We have received SO many compliments about how our day was captured and I have had SO many people ask for Emily’s contact information. Not to mention she is extremely personable and makes you feel so comfortable. THANK YOU EMILY:)
— Karli and Nick
We are so beyond thankful that we stumbled upon Emily’s page and chose her for our engagement and wedding photos! Emily and her associate, Chloe, are the absolute sweetest and so easy to work with, and our pictures were downright stunning! Everyone in our families have been blown away, you gave us such beautiful memories of our day that we’ll cherish forever. Emily and Chloe made us feel so special and were so relaxed on our busy day. We can’t thank you enough!!
— Maddie & Gregor
Emily did such an amazing job photographing our engagement and our wedding day. She helped us come up with some great picture ideas that were tailored to our lives and personalities. We have absolutely loved the pictures, and she is extremely easy to work with. We highly recommend her for any of your photography needs! For our wedding day, Emily brought in a second shooter who was just as professional and such a joy to work with. We can’t wait for our next big event so we can give Emily another call.
— Katie and Luke
We worked with Emily and one of the associates at Emily Paulson Photography and we could not have been happier with our wedding day photos! Both Emily and her associate were professional, creative, and easy to work with. They put in extra time to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted and that we had enough time to do so. The planner in me loved that we were able to set up multiple organized lists and schedules for the day. We were so excited to have Emily edit our photos with her amazing talent and are so happy with the entire experience. We now have these perfect memories to last forever, bringing our special day to life!
— Rachel & Mike
I loved working with Emily! She values you as a person/couple. She took time to get to know us and what we would like in our photos. During the whole experience she was super calm but knew when to take charge to get what needed to be done which showed she knew what she was doing. Emily is very professional but also treated you like a friend! She’s is one of the sweetest photographers I’ve met and we LOVE our photos!!
— Amanda and Isaiah
Where do I start? Emily was very sweet made me feel so comfortable right from the beginning. I’ve been a part of a couple shoots and really felt like my photographer was in a rush and just checked me off a list. I never felt that way with Emily she wanted to know about me and the story behind who I am. She will go far in this industry and not to mention her photography is impeccable. You won’t be disappointed!
— Linnea and Michael
Emily was beyond amazing while photographing our engagement and wedding pictures. She did a wonderful job at capturing all the perfect moments on the best day of our life. From the beginning all the way to the end she offered endless support and guidance. We couldn’t be more thankful for all that she did for us.
— Jordan and Blake
Emily was such an amazing photographer to work with! She was so accommodating and helpful from the very beginning. We didn’t want a full engagement session as we had already had one before finding Emily. Instead, we did a small mini-session so that we could get to know each other and understand how we work in front of the camera. She was patient with finding a date as my schedule is crazy busy and she met with us for a wonderful mini-session. She sent us a tip sheet for information regarding our wedding day and helped plan with us so that we would get all the photos that I wanted to get. On the wedding day, Emily was a dream to work with. She is so sweet but is really great about taking control when she needs to and guiding everyone so that the pictures will turn out perfect. We got our pictures back way sooner than I expected and they were BEAUTIFUL! They exceeded any expectations I had and it’s safe to say I’m obsessed with them. I loved working with Emily and I will cherish the photos that she captured of our special day for the rest of my life!

Emily is so friendly, talented and is SO easy to work with. She wants to get to know you right off the bat and wants to learn your story, which makes you feel so comfortable with her! We had so much fun laughing and doing fun poses that Emily suggested all while she was taking beautiful shots of us. Her editing style and photography is amazing and you would not be disappointed if you choose Emily as your photographer!

Emily exceeded all of my expectations with my maternity photos! She was able to capture the love and excitement between my husband and I for this new journey we’re on. I’ve never had so much fun during a photo shoot and I will 100% be using her again in the future! 20/10 would recommend!
— Alyssa & Michael
We are so happy that we found Emily and used her as our photographer! She was so fun and easygoing to work with, and had the perfect balance of letting candid moments play out while also giving us direction. The photos are absolutely STUNNING and everything we hoped for! She went above and beyond to make sure the day went smoothly and was captured beautifully!
Emily Paulson Photography made our first shoot easy and more stress free than I could have imagined.

Emily, I love you work, you passion and your style. That’s how I knew you were the one to take our photos. You’re an overall kind person and so fun and easy to work with even if I wasn’t. :) I loved my experience with you and would defiently do another session and recommend to a friend! Thank you again so much! I loved the photos so much that I cried!!
— Evie
Emily is amazing! She is fun to work with, calm, and best of all, took incredible photographs. I was married in January and it was cold here in MN! She willingly and happily walked outside in the cold MN weather to take great shots of my husband and I on our wedding day. She was easy to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer.
— Anna
 
Emily ties professionalism in perfectly with creativity and timelines! I had Emily shoot my senior photos and most recently our engagement and wedding photographs. We were very pleased with the results and memories that were captured. I love how Emily took the time to get to know us as a couple- that is what made our experience so unique. We definitely plan on going to Emily for future family photographs.
— Hannah
 
My fianace and I did our engagement pictures with Emily, and she was not only incredibly professional, but was also so much fun to work with! She is incredibly accommodating, very responsive, and was able to be flexible despite our hectic schedules. She also had so many creative ideas for our session, which was wonderful, since we had none, but was more than happy to incorporate any ideas we might have had. Just an all-around pleasure to work with, and the results are stunning.
— Rebecca
 
Very easy to work with! Emily took pictures throughout every part of the day. She took a nice mix of posed photos and candid photos. The final prints of the photos are beautiful, lovely colors!
— Emma
 
Emily was amazing at my friend’s wedding. She was patient and fun, making everyone feel super comfortable. She was also accommodating and open to picture ideas from the crazy wedding party haha. Thank you so much!
— Shout
 
Emily is beyond amazing! She traveled to Duluth and worked her magic with one of the venues we choose to use, they ended up being closed the day of our photos but she talked them in to letting us use the property for our engagement photos. The entire day was filled with laughs, she is so professional and kind. Her editing skills are magic, she is seriously amazing. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else do our photos. You are missing out on a great photographer is you go somewhere else.
— Raven
 
We had such a blast having Emily be a part of our day! She made it so easy for us, and our bridal party. Nothing but smiles all day! She will make sure to get all the right pictures for your special day and take care of any of your photography needs. Would definitely recommend :)
— Hannah
 
We love our photos that Emily Photographs did for us! My husband and I did a fall mini session and are so happy with the way they turned out! We felt comfortable behind the camera and were encouraged to just have fun with one another. I really love Emily’s editing style, too. She makes photos look warm and cozy! Can’t wait to hang some of my favorites up :)
— Marin & Cody
Wow, I cannot say enough good things about Emily!! She is seriously the KINDEST human ever. She cares SO much about your vision and genuinely wants to serve you and get to know you! My husband and I felt like we had known Emily forever, and she made getting our photos done so stinkin easy. We are in LOVE with our photos from Em and will cherish them forever! If you want someone who will go above and beyond, make your session/wedding so much fun, and be 100% for you, then Emily is your gal!
— Nicole & Nathan
Emily shot my small backyard wedding and she did an absolutely amazing job! We have the most amazing moments captured for the rest of our lives! I will always go to Emily for any professional photographs that my family needs. Thank you Emily for photographing my amazing wedding day! I absolutely love all my pictures!!!!!
— Megan
 
I got family pictures and pictures of my kid done with Emily. She was so awesome to work with and the pictures turned out way better than I could have ever imagined! She was so easy to work with, and knew exactly how to direct our 3 year old, while making sure he had fun in the process. Everyone that sees them comments on how great they are and how they perfectly display our sons personality. I will definitely be going back to her for all our pictures in the future. Thank you, Emily!!
— Emma
I happened to be following Emily Marie Photographs on instagram for quite a bit of time and LOVED all the photos posted for how natural, fun, and warm they are. When I was looking for graduation/senior pictures last minute, I thought that this would be a perfect fit, and there were mini sessions available, which worked so fantastic! The photos look AMAZING! Your response time is impeccable, and you were so friendly and enjoyable to work with! I did not know exactly what to expect, but you made it all so easy. You are so talented!!! I am so happy I did this and now have these photos!
— Veronica
Emily captured everything that I was hoping for. We recently moved into a new place, and I wanted to get some pictures to fill the wall space. She was super easy to work with from the start and made the entire process super stress free! My boyfriend was a little nervous to get these pictures taken, but she made us feel super comfortable and everything felt natural. She even took a few shots with our wild dogs, which turned out far better than I ever could have expected! Thank you so much for capturing our crazy life!! We will definitely be booking her for all of our future picture needs!
— Abbie
Emily does an amazing job of capturing all of the small special moments that so many wouldn’t think of. She is very welcoming and helped to make the wedding day run smoothly. We definitely recommend her for you wedding photographer!!
