It was spectacular working with Emily and her team for our wedding photos. In addition to the task of being our photographer, Emily helped us with day of timeline, organization, and cues for our SF City Hall ceremony. We had a great time working with her and she made the entire photo process incredibly comfortable and seamless from beginning to end.

Emily Jenks and her team were an absolute joy to work with. From our first meeting, we knew she was the perfect fit. I told her how much I wanted to capture the same timeless, candid moments I grew up admiring in my parents’ wedding photos—and she brought that vision to life beautifully. Emily and her associate, Ryan, photographed both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day with such care, capturing genuine emotion, laughter, and love. They created a relaxed, joyful atmosphere that made everyone feel at ease. Emily also went above and beyond—offering thoughtful timeline advice that helped the day flow smoothly, and referring an amazing hair and makeup team (shoutout Paula Maia) that perfectly matched the look I was hoping for. The photos are stunning—full of golden light, warmth, and memories we’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Emily, for capturing it all so meaningfully.

We are beyond happy with our experience with Emily! Thank you ! The photos turned out absolutely stunning—every detail, every emotion, and every special moment was captured perfectly. Looking through them feels like reliving the day all over again. And thank you Katherine for helping me coordinate everything. You were so helpful and quick to get back to me.

The whole team were amazing. Emily met with us and patiently answered all of our questions and provided helpful advice for the day. Katherine was great to work with and made the logistics side of things a smooth sail. Also, all of the photos were generously made available to us where other teams we’ve inquired of would only give us a set number of pictures depending on the tier of the service selected. Shoutout to Skylar who is incredibly talented and was such a pleasure to work with. She found the best angles of us and made us much more photogenic than expected and helped capture so many touching and cute moments of our guests. We were so busy that day and are so glad that Skylar helped us capture the reactions of our guests that we will treasure forever. Our only regret of the whole wedding experience was not to retain Skylar for the reception. We chose the ceremony + 1 additional location package. If we were to do it again, we would definitely engage her to join us at the reception. Also, at the second location, she went above and beyond and accompanied us to the golden bridge which wasn’t initially included in the palace of fine arts shoot.

I cannot express my gratitude for Emily enough. We hired her for a City Hall wedding ceremony in San Francisco, and she was truly phenomenal. I’m not the type to go out of my way to leave reviews, but I felt Emily deserves the recognition. My fiancée and I were from out of state and planned our wedding from Seattle without visiting. Emily went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfect. Any questions I had about the city were answered, she even gave recommendations for venues after the ceremony. Honestly Emily is a fantastic photographer in her own right, and to add on to that, the fact she was willing to go above and beyond blew me away and said so much about her. She basically acted as a wedding planner in the week leading up to the wedding answering the thousands of questions I had. Without her help, I don’t know how I would have gotten everything we wanted done.. and then to top it all off she took beautiful pictures and knew every spot to go in city hall to make the most of our time. If you’re looking for a SF City Hall wedding photographer, or just a photographer for anything you will not go wrong with Emily, I guarantee that. Thank you again Emily. You made our dream wedding come to reality.
