Summer Neighborhood Engagement in Roscoe Village – Miya & Dylan

I had so much fun at Miya and Dylan’s Roscoe Village neighborhood engagement session this summer! I met these two at Volo Wine Bar for some bubbly… a nod to their engagement in Champagne, France (and also just because!). After some romantic cheersing and impromptu wine-tasting lesson by Miya, we headed out for a neighborhood […]

Morgan & Jarett’s Wicker Park Engagement Featuring Small Cheval

We kicked off our summer this year with Morgan and Jarett’s Wicker Park engagement session! Alexis met up with these two on a Friday at Small Cheval, which happens to be where they had their first date! After a quick bite (and feeding each other fries, of course) it was time to explore the neighborhood. […]

Chris & Emily’s Chicago Wedding at Bridgeport Art Center

Last September, I had the honor of photographing Chris and Emily’s wedding at one of my favorite Chicago venues, the Bridgeport Art Center!

Chicago Boat Proposal with Double Surprise – Haley & Taylor

At the end of June, I was lucky enough to capture Taylor and Haley’s Chicago boat proposal on Lake Michigan. This was one of the most unique surprise proposals I’ve ever been asked to document, and it ended in a way I never expected! Taylor asked me to capture the moment she asked Haley to […]

Chicago Summer Wedding at Greenhouse Loft – Emma & Brendan

In the spirit of summer weddings, I am thrilled to finally share Emma and Brendan’s August wedding at Greenhouse Loft!

Rosie & Scott’s Salvage One Engagement Session Ending in Pilsen

This spring, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Rosie and Scott for their Salvage One engagement session!

Haley & Anthony’s Intimate Milwaukee Elopement in Walker’s Point

Two months ago, I had the pleasure of traveling to my hometown for Haley and Anthony’s Milwaukee elopement. There is something extra special about capturing intimate wedding days – and such a privilege to be among the handful of witnesses. Not to mention, elopements make me a bit nostalgic (my own wedding day was very […]

About

Chicago wedding photographer Emma Mullins of Emma Mullins Photography

Hellooo, world!

I’m Emma (She/Her): Beer nerd, cat-whisperer, Schitt’s Creek-obsessed Chicago wedding photographer. I’ve been helping couples relive their wedding memories since 2014, and wouldn’t have it any other way!

Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I currently reside in Chicago with my designer-turned-handyman partner and our two spunky felines. When I’m not photographing couples in love, I’m either hanging with these three, managing our West Town studio space, or traveling someplace new!

A Few of My Favorite Things:
  • Black coffee
  • Buttercream frosting
  • Road trips
  • Watching the sun rise
  • Pretending I sound like Mariah Carey
  • Belgian beer
  • The Green Bay Packers
  • My little fam (Jeremy, Miike and Vince)
  • Halloween (the holiday – not the movie. Okay, the movie’s pretty good too.)
About You

You want stunning, true-to-life wedding photos that look and feel like YOU. You don’t want to feel stiff or look too “posed.” And most importantly, you want to ENJOY your wedding day while we capture all the good stuff! 

Whether you thrive in the spotlight or cringe at the thought of being photographed, we are there to capture your memories. And let’s be honest: your wedding day is going to be AWESOME. No matter what goes according to plan or how many things surprise you, at the end of the day you’ll be married to Your Person. And, spoiler alert: that’s what this is all about!

My Approach

My relaxed, documentary approach allows couples to feel totally comfortable in front of the camera (it’s the number one thing mentioned in my Reviews!). Expect a mix of candid moments and contemporary portraiture, with the occasional embarrassing (aka HILARIOUS) dance floor photo. I will be your hype girl during portrait time (seriously!). We’ll get to know each other throughout the process, and it doesn’t stop on wedding day. I want to show up with hugs and handshakes – not as just another vendor.
