Emily DeWan Photography, Inc

Emily is tops! Over the years, I’d seen her work from a number of friends’ weddings, and without exception was continually amazed. When it came time to find a photographer for our own wedding, there was hardly any question.
We were, of course, not disappointed. Everything from the planning stage to the experience of the wedding day, to the wedding photo webpage, was professional. Emily took all of our crazy, fickle direction without batting an eye — but also made her expectations and opinions clear as well, which helped guide us and put our minds at ease as we stressed over the details (and the prospect of subjecting the hired guns to our wacky families). Her greatest strength is in her candids — as another review said, each one really does manage to tell a story. And when it came time to do portraits, she was a machine, managing to corral our enormous families (an amazing feat) and getting great shot after great shot, all with a smile.
We’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family on the final photos. More «best pictures I’ve ever seen» than I can count. Of all of the professional pieces that were involved in putting this wedding together, the photography was the least stressful, and gave some of the greatest results. We’ll treasure these forever.

Emily DeWan is an amazing photographer. She recently moved from Chicago to New York and my girlfriends and I are sorry to see her go — but New York will definately benefit! We initially met Emily 6 years ago when she was shooting a friend’s wedding, we have used her for our wedding and 2 other couples we know have used her as well — her photos truly tell a story — her portraits are amazing and her candids really captured the moment and heart and soul of the people that we love. I encourage anyone from New York looking for a great photographer to welcome Emily to your great city and hire her to photograph your special event! We will definately be hounding her to call us when she is in Chicago to take some professional photographs when our children come along.
