Hello, engaged person! I’m Emma (She/Her): Beer nerd, cat-whisperer, Schitt’s Creek-obsessed, Chicago wedding photographer. I'm originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and LOVE to capture weddings all over Wisconsin and Chicago! I’ve been helping couples relive their wedding memories since 2014 and wouldn't have it any other way.

I make it a priority to capture the story of your day however it unfolds. Whether you’ve been planning for a few weeks or several months, I want you to enjoy your wedding day to its fullest extent! Expect more directing and less posing, so you can really focus on what matters (each other, duh!).

How I cater to offbeat weddings

Being photographed (a LOT) is not something most people are used to. My hands-off, documentary approach allows couples to feel totally comfortable in front of the camera (it’s the number one thing mentioned in my Reviews!). The goal is to capture your vibe, your people, and your love in a way that looks and feels true to life.

Additional items include engagement photography, videography services, live streaming, custom wedding album design, and a SUPER fun photo booth!!

Emma Mullins Photography is available throughout the Chicago and Milwaukee areas and worldwide. Inquire HERE for pricing and availability!

"Emma was perfect for us. My partner and I were on the fence about having a photographer at all and chose Emma because she was laidback, lower in price, and we liked her work. In particular she was so patient with our ambivalence about being photographed and delightfully encouraged us to enjoy the process. The photos came out gorgeous and exactly how we had hoped (not staged, mostly silly and candid). If you are looking for a photographer who will listen to you, be patient with you and your family, and respond graciously and promptly to questions and scheduled, Emma is wonderful. We also found her to be very queer-friendly and thoughtful around all things related to that for us and our guests. All the stars." - Erin

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

To remove or change image, hover and click the X.	Highlight Image 3 Third highlighted image in portfolio header. To remove or change image, hover and click the X.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.
