Emily Kuhar Photography

We had a wonderful experience having Emily shoot our civil ceremony. She made us feel comfortable and we loved the portrait and candid photos full of our family and friends.

I found Emily's information from a Reddit thread listing vendors who've worked at the Santa Barbara Courthouse before. I'm so grateful that I stumbled across it because Emily was incredible! She was easy to get in touch with. She emailed me back very quickly after I submitted an inquiry, and we had a consultation soon after. On the day, Emily was very encouraging, positive, and professional. She was amazing at directing a few poses, especially since neither I or the groom had ever been photographed before. She gave us a lot of positive feedback to keep us going. She captured everything we asked for. I cannot recommend Emily enough!

Emily is great! We have beautiful photos at the Santa Barbara courthouse. We communicated beforehand and set a run-of-day and everything went smoothly! Emily knew exactly the shots to get, and had a good command of the group to get the shortlist that I requested. Photos were delivered in a timely manner and are lovely!

Emily was kind, professional, communicative and great to work with! She took time and care with every detail and went above and beyond to be sure we got pictures we would love. My husband and I are not picture takers and she made us feel comfortable through the whole process. She was also a lovely human! Could not recommend more.

Emily was a complete joy to work with. I stumbled upon her information via Reddit, and was able to schedule a consultation that same week for our Santa Barbara wedding. She was very accommodating, and willing to work with us on our vision for the big day. She's punctual, enthusiastic, creative, and a consummate professional. We cannot recommend her enough. Emily, thank you so much for helping us capture our special day.

Emily is AMAZING! We found Emily via the Knot for our April 2024 wedding. She is extremely knowledgeable and a great resource for establishing your shot list while planning. On the wedding day, Emily was punctual and passionate about getting the shot without being overly posed. She has so much to offer and we cannot recommend her more! We highly recommend using Emily if you are looking for a time capsule of your day.

Words cannot express my sincerest gratitude to Emily! Her photography speaks for itself! It was such a joy working with Emily for our engagement shoot and our wedding. If you are looking for someone who knows how to capture beauty, creativity, and candid moments so effortlessly in your photos, Emily is your person. She’s also incredibly professional and is such a treasure to work with! Emily will make you feel at ease from start to finish. We’re so glad and fortunate we stumbled upon Emily’s work and were able to secure her in time for our big day. You won’t be disappointed! Big thanks to you Emily!

My wife and I loved working with Emily. She was friendly and made the whole process easy and fun. Our pictures are gorgeous. Her prices are great, highly recommend!
