Photography Collections
Wedding photography that looks and feels like YOU.
Want to rock out with your guests at your wedding reception? Steal a quiet moment with each other right after you’ve made it official? Your photos should represent what it was like to really be present, to be there. Because on your wedding day, nothing matters more than the two of you and how you choose to celebrate your love.
Our team takes a primarily photojournalistic approach behind the lens so we can capture real moments throughout the day. You can expect more directing and less posing, giving your portraits an artistic quality while still feeling like you. We want you to LOVE your photos and experience your wedding day to its fullest extent – confident that your most cherished memories will not be missed.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place! Below you’ll find information on pricing, FAQs, and how we can best customize your coverage.

“You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all… Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it we are nothing.”
-Luis Buñuel
Destination
Traveling is my thing.
I don’t know what I would do with myself if I couldn’t explore new places. My free time is constantly filled with travel dates! As an artist, it fuels my creativity. So far I have photographed weddings throughout the Midwest, Mexico, Hawaii, Italy, Ireland, Utah, San Francisco, New York City, the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Lucia, and the list is growing. My dream wedding destinations include New Zealand, Greece, Portugal, and South Africa.
Are you tying the knot someplace exotic? Remote? Historical? I’d be thrilled to discuss your destination wedding plans with you! I’m always dreaming about exploring new locations, and am so excited when couples share this love of mine. Custom pricing available for bucket list locations.
International destination wedding coverage begins at $20,000. Rate includes travel and accommodations, 10 hours Wedding Day coverage, 2 hours Welcome Party coverage, two photographers, and a destination couples session.
Frequently Asked
Do you work with a team?
Yes! All of our standard collections include two photographers.
How many photos will I receive?
On average, we deliver approximately 100 images per hour of coverage for weddings with two photographers.
Will you edit the images?
Yes. Each image in your gallery will be edited to an aesthetic consistent with what you see on our web site and social media.
How will photos be delivered?
Images are delivered in a password-protected digital download gallery. Your gallery will remain online for one year.
Do you offer prints?
Yes we do! Please print your wedding photos. In addition to the custom products we offer, your gallery will be connected to an online shop with prints and products in a variety of sizes. The shop is easy to navigate, and popular with family members as well.
Can I have the unedited (RAW) files?
This is not something we offer. Upon delivery, images will be fully edited and ready to share with your family and friends.
When will my photos be ready?
You will receive a curated sneak peek gallery within one week of your wedding, and your final gallery will be delivered within 8-10 weeks.
Do you charge extra for travel?
Travel is included for locations less than one hour drive from my Chicago studio. If your wedding or engagement session takes place outside of that area, additional fees may be added. Travel to the Milwaukee area, Southwest Michigan, and New York City is always included.
Are you insured?
Yes. I have been a member of Professional Photographers of America (PPA) since 2017. Happy to provide a certificate of insurance if required by your venue.
Should I feed you at my wedding?
Yes please! For photo + video coverage exceeding 5 hours, we ask for a hot meal. We want to be at the top of our game on your wedding day and ready to capture any moment as it happens.
We’re completely awkward and not photogenic AT ALL. What do you recommend?
I bet you’re not as awkward as you think! It’s our job to direct and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, so you can focus on each other… and the magic just happens.
If this sounds like you, we highly recommend booking an engagement session. Truly, it’s the absolute best thing you can do for your wedding photography experience.
Will you help with photo location ideas?
Absolutely. My team is thoroughly familiar with the most iconic and popular photo locations in Chicago, as well as some hidden gems. We always make time to scout unfamiliar locations prior to a session or wedding day.
I need a Florist/Beauty Team/Wedding Planner and have no idea where to start! Do you have any recommendations?
I do! Once we make it official, you will receive a detailed Welcome Guide including a preferred list of fellow professionals whose work we know and trust.
Do you offer Videography services?
Yes! We work with a team of talented videographers who would be thrilled to create your wedding film. You can view sample films, pricing information, and meet the filmmakers HERE.
What happens if disaster strikes and you cannot photograph my wedding?
I will do everything in my power to photograph your wedding, but in an absolute worst case scenario where I cannot be there, rest assured that someone will be.
Our Associate Photographers are fully trained in my style and ready to step in if needed. We belong to a strong network of photographers who are incredible (seriously – the best) about helping each other out in situations like this. I’ve been there in a pinch for others, and they’d do the same for me.
I LOVE your work and have to have you for my wedding! How do we make it official?
That’s so exciting!! We ask for a 50% retainer fee and signed contract to reserve your date. Payment plan options are available. In the event that we receive another inquiry for your date before making it official, you’ll be the first to know.
Kind Words
We used Emma Mullins Photography for our photos, video, and photo booth and we are beyond happy with all the results. From the beginning we knew we loved the style of her photography, but we were absolutely blown away with our wedding photos. They truly captured the moment and energy of our wedding. We got so many compliments on how beautiful, candid, and lively our photos were. Everything about the whole process was great from booking, communication, logistics, to receiving the photos… We also genuinely had a blast with Emma and the team at our wedding, great to have that connection and trust, like a friend was taking our photos.

Hiring Emma was easily the best decision we made while wedding planning. Her skill set and talent, her drive, her ability to instantly make us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and her SUPER easy, efficient, and transparent processes were endlessly reassuring. And when we received the sets for our photos, we were floored by how well it all flowed together and felt like the true joyful story of the day. It was authentic and emotional and it’s all due to her impressive talent. Emma’s also a PRO at finding killer photo spots around the city and made our engagement session seriously fun. We love Emma and her team!
– Catherine C.
Emma is THE BEST! If she’s still available for your wedding date, book her now. Finding the right photographer was very important to my husband and I, and we loved that the pictures in her portfolio were both authentic and gorgeous. Emma is also so knowledgeable and easy to work with – she recommended spots around Chicago for both our engagement and wedding photos, and was happy to try out a new spot that was personal to us as well. We absolutely love our engagement and wedding pictures and would recommend her to anyone!
– Brigette R.
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 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, 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 C.
We loved working with Emma! We didn’t really know how to begin thinking about wedding photography, but she was so helpful and offered really fantastic insight based on what was important to us. She listened to what we wanted and didn’t push for things we didn’t care for, and the locations she scouted for our photos were fantastic. If that weren’t enough, our photos are gorgeous! She captured some fantastic moments from our wedding and reception and totally overdelivered on our expectations. We’ve been raving about her to our friends ever since and can’t recommend her enough.
– Sarah H.
Emma is very responsive, enthusiastic, detailed and creative, and helped us accomplish a fantastic wedding day. Emma helped us identify creative ways to replan our wedding during COVID-19, and was incredibly flexible as our plans changed multiple times. We ultimately were able to get married in a small ceremony at Starved Rock State Park in IL, and Emma went above and beyond and drove out there a few weeks before the wedding to scout out some beautiful spots for photos.
Emma’s positivity and energy helped us have SO much fun during our photo sessions. Looking back at the photos and videos brings us and our families so much joy. Working with Emma and her team felt like we were working with family. Thank you!
– Melanie S.
