  Emily and her team are the best! Emily's team made wedding planning so much easier. Katherine
  the client happiness coordinator was great to work with. She was organized, answered all the questions that we had and was flexible with all the changes.
  
  On the wedding day, Emily made taking pictures fun. In a short period of time, it's amazing the quality of the photos she was able to produce. Everyone who sees the photos thinks it should be in a magazine.
  
  We so happy to have had Emily and Tony part of our special day. Highly recommend!!

  My husband and I booked Emily for our city hall civil ceremony + an hour long photoshoot afterwards at the conservatory of flowers. We loved working with her, we (and our families) are so happy with the photos, and we would 100% recommend her to other potential clients!
  
  More details:
  We found her page on Instagram and immediately noticed how consistent her work is, especially at city hall. Emily and her team are extremely responsive and communicate everything really clearly in advance. The packages and pricing outlined on the website are very clear, and the final gallery examples are an accurate representation of what you will receive — this kind of transparency is not a given for all wedding photographers. We did a short video call to discuss details a few weeks before the big day, and we could already tell that Emily would be easy to work with.
  
  She did a great job of putting us at ease while taking couple and family photos. If you’re a little shy in front of the camera, she’s probably a good choice. We managed to cover every spot we liked in city hall (we made a list in advance, based on example galleries we looked at), even with so many other couples and photographers sharing the space.
  
  Her experience with the city hall civil ceremony process was super helpful as well, and put us at ease since we tend to stress about everything. She can provide tips on parking, family outfit tips so they’ll look good in photos, tips on what to carry with you inside, etc. She can also bring a tripod if you aren’t doing a video package and just want a phone video. She can provide a bouquet if you want. I think she works really hard to accommodate everyone’s needs and preferences, to keep it as low-stress as possible. The lighting in city hall is beautiful, and Emily will help you position for the best shots. She’s also familiar with many other SF locations if you want to add an additional location after city hall.
  
  Finally, one huge advantage of booking with Emily is that her editing turnaround is FAST because she wants you to be able to share your news promptly! We got a sneak peek of about 90 photos in just a few days, and the full gallery in about 2 weeks (I think it’s 2-3 weeks in general…this is really fast). We appreciated that she gave us all the photos in the final gallery - the sneak peek included many of the best shots, and we had fun looking through the full gallery and choosing all our favorites. It’s a best-of-both-worlds way to do it. The download options for the final galleries are also super convenient; we downloaded our full gallery into Google Photos cloud storage in just a few minutes.
  
  In summary: we’re super happy with Emily’s services! Even during peak wedding season, she manages to make your day feel special and low-stress, and the resulting photos are consistently high-quality. Highly recommend booking with her!

  We hired Emily as our photographer for our ceremony at SF City Hall and she was amazing! We met with her beforehand (over zoom) and went over our expectations, shots we wanted, day of plan, etc., and she was lovely every single step of the way! Day of Emily was there before us, she did so well organizing the family shots and making sure we got the pics we wanted. 10/10 would recommend!!

  If you’re looking for a SF City Hall wedding photographer, stop looking and HIRE Emily from Emily Jenks Photography!!
  
  From start to finish, I’m beyond grateful I had the chance to work with her! Emily’s Client Happiness Manager Katherine was super detail oriented and helpful with hair and makeup referrals. I also love how Katherine sent out an itinerary a week before Brian and I got hitched in SF City Hall because things ran smoothly the day of!
  
  Emily on the other hand was wonderful throughout the times I booked multiple zoom and phone appointments with her. I let her know some of the things Brian and I would like in our wedding pictures and she executed the plan beautifully! She was also quick to respond whenever I had questions. Fast forward to our wedding day, Emily was able to take two camera awkward people and make it into ART!! Even though we felt like we didn’t know what we were doing, Emily made us feel comfortable throughout the whole time we were getting married! When the sneak peeks arrived, we were so stunned how gorgeous our pictures looked on our big day we had to keep sharing them with our loved ones!
  
  Overall, Brian and I are pleased with the services from Emily Jenks Photography! Emily is highly professional and talented at what she does for a living. I’m glad she chose to do the photography field because I truly believe this is her calling! Thank you again Emily and Katherine for all that you do! We could not have the best day of our life without all your help!

  Emily is a GOD SEND! By far the most beautiful photos ever taken and I've always hated photos of myself! Even my fiancé loved the photos and he hates taking pictures as well. We are both very camera shy and extremely uncomfortable in front of the lens and for her to be so friendly, it really allowed us to enjoy each other and have fun taking photos. I knew that even with a smaller, low scale wedding, we wanted to splurge on quality photos and I am SO grateful and happy that we did!!
  
  Emily was incredibly kind, patient and comforting all the days leading up to the wedding and especially on the day of. She even went to the store for us on her way to the venue to pick up some things we needed, I mean come on. BEST VENDOR EVER! Her navigational expertise around the city/City Hall and time management skills were deeply appreciated and welcomed amidst the chaos on our wedding day- it truly made the event run smoothly from start to finish.
  
  I've only received the sneak peaks from the wedding (within 72 hours by the way) and I'm already so in love. I've never liked photos of myself that people have taken, even other professional photographers so I was nervous I wouldn't like my own wedding photos. I can genuinely say that these are the best photos I have ever seen of myself! We'll be booking with her for all our important photo sessions from now on!
