About Photography By Jill Emmer

Photography By Jill Emmer

Owner & Head Photographer

I’m Jill, a Wisconsin wedding photographer with 13+ years of experience capturing real, emotional, story-driven moments. My work blends candid documentary style with artistic, magazine-inspired creativity. I’ve photographed weddings across Wisconsin and beyond, and have partnered with brands like Nikon, Verizon, and Leinenkugel’s. I approach every wedding with warmth, curiosity, and intention—focusing on genuine connection, beautiful light, and the moments that matter most.

I’m all about creating a calm, comfortable space where couples can be themselves. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just real emotion, natural interaction, and the kind of in-between moments that feel like you. I guide when needed, step back when it matters, and photograph your day with a mix of intuition, artistry, and experience. My couples trust me to hype them up, steady their nerves, and capture their story in a way that feels honest, vibrant, and unmistakably theirs.

Jill was wonderful on our wedding day! She had such a positive energy all day and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our pictures are absolutely stunning and we love how she captured both posed and natural, candid photos of all of our guests!
Super wedding photographer

Jill was fantastic to work with. She helped me feel comfortable even though I usually feel awkward posing for pictures. My husband and I had such a great experience with Jill for our engagement photos that we asked her back to photograph our wedding and we would do it again. All our photos, from both photo events, are simply stunning. She captured our energy, the scenery, the natural light, and made us look great!
Fantastic photos & a joy to work with!

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Jill to be our wedding photographer. We knew we wanted someone to more accurately capture our day (did NOT want to have over-exposed, filtered looking photos or the hoaky, staged vibes) and her journalistic approach to her photography in combination with her joyful energy was PERFECT for us. We asked for a video chat prior to booking to go over some questions and concerns we had regarding the day and knew very quickly she was going to be the right fit for us. Given we both have a passion for photography ourselves, we greatly appreciated her expertise in a wide variety of elements (from bright, natural light to dark, interior spaces) and her realistic approach, which, alongside her experience and artistic vision led to crisp, beautiful photos representing us and our day. We also booked an engagement shoot with her, which we loved, as her bubbly personality immediately puts you at ease and allows you to get a sense of how to really be yourself in photos while still making them feel special. She was responsive and easy to communicate with through the whole process, really making the entire experience feel personal, and our wedding day was all that and even more fun. For the first part of the day she brought an assistant, Anney, with her, who was another ray of sunshine to work with to be a second set of hands, and we worked with Jill to hire a second shooter, Leiden, for a few hours later, who was wonderful as well. Jill being down-to-earth but also friendly and outgoing felt like the perfect combo so that we didn’t feel stressed throughout the day, but also that we could approach her with whatever our thoughts were. So many of our guests said (and keep saying) how much THEY also loved being around her at our event too. We legitimately got some amazing photos back of certain guests that we hardly EVER see smile for photos, which was just more proof how infectious her positive energy is and how great she is at what she does. We ended up with a ton of truly spectacular photos from our wedding for what we thought was a fair price, and that we got back in a very reasonable amount of time, all of which she takes the time and care to edit herself without making them look fake, filtered, or overly manipulated. I can’t overstate how much we loved having Jill as our wedding photographer and the way she perfectly captured us and our wonderful day.
Jill is the best!

Jill is absolutely amazing - would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! She is extremely responsive leading up to the event. We were able to have several video chats prior to our wedding with Jill, which took lots of stress out of the planning process. Her photos are clean, crisp, and truly captured every special moment of our wedding. Look no further for your wedding photographer- Jill is your girl!
