Hello Rose Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Gary, IN

Hi there! I'm Emily Rose, behind Hello Rose Photography. I have been shooting weddings for a decade and love connecting with my clients as much as I love photographing them! They feel like close friends by the end of the day. I am documentary-style, in that I never stop shooting. While I help with posing during portrait sessions to make sure you look your best, I also love capturing the laughter of guests, the teary-eyed parents, the flower girl running up to you and hugging you at first sight, the tiny details, the smirk you share with your spouse at the altar and the quiet, intimate moments between you two throughout the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have a lot to say here so let me do a TLDR: if you’re here reading this review it likely means photography is important to you. And if that is true, please just book Emily (Hello Rose Photography) because it should be illegal how amazing she is. Send the message as soon as you possibly can. Like right now. Please. The long version: Emily is an INSANELY AMAZING photographer. Color, posing, vibe, attitude, patience, EVERYTHING. Photography was on my top 3 non negotiable list for me, truly the most important thing next to having our dog at our wedding. Leading up to our wedding, I would randomly see her photos and be like ‘omg those are beyond gorgeous I hope my photos look like that’ and then I’d notice it WAS HER. Validation I never knew I needed. If you’re on the fence, just do it. She’s the kindest, gentlest soul and it truly put us at such ease. And she meshed so well with our quirky sense of humor. She also had the patience of a saint with our high energy doggo and capture the actual cutest photos of her. She captured love I’ve never seen between us (it’s hard when you’re looking at your person but it’s even harder for someone to be good enough to capture it). Her candids are literally the best I’ve ever seen. Of me and my dog, me and my friends, my husband and his friends, idk she’s just INSANELY GOOD. I love candids, if you’re a candid person WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. I promise, I will bet everything on it, you will absolutely not regret spending a single penny on Emily. Honestly, she should charge more. We also had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of working with Bridgid on our wedding day. She complimented Emily so well and truly, I didn’t feel like we had 2 photographers they were so supportive and in tune with each other. Bridgid also found us funny and loved our doggo too. She even threw her the tennis ball. These ladies work so well together that I truly could not tell you who took which photo. SEAMLESS. I truly missed their presence, outside of photography, when they left for the day. These angels probably still don’t know the impact they had on us but one day I hope they see this review and know how important they were (and are) to our day.

This was, by far, the best decision I made when planning my wedding. I realized after a certain point that my day of had a lot more to it than I realized behind the scenes (and boy, you have no idea) and decided I could use a day of planner. I had limited decor and thought that day of decor with the planning wasn’t necessary but quickly changed my mind and I am so glad that I did. In planning she was so helpful in organizing communication with the vendors and fought for me to get my vision when she thought it wasn’t being delivered. Day of none of my family nor myself had to spend any time with set up, questions, issues or take-down. There was apparently a huge issue with the the tablecloths not coming in as well as the flowers for my alter flying away in the wind. Gina took care of it all, make-shifting her way to get it all done on time. (Mind you there were problems at my two different location wedding day so they made sure to spread out and cover all the bases.) She made sure we got to have all of our appetizers and kept us on top of everything without any stress for us. The night before she and her partner went to go get signs to help the guests with navigation when she thought there was even a possibility of anyone getting lost/confused. Gina went above and beyond to make my wedding day smooth and easy for me and I couldn’t be more grateful. I truly cannot recommend her enough, and stress how important it is to have a planner. Most people complain about the problems at their wedding and stress, and we dealt with absolutely none of that - and a HUGE part of that is thanks to Gina & Sugar on the Rim Events. We had the wedding of our dreams!

I've been a photographer for almost 6 years - almost 3 years FULL TIME! As a kid/teen, concerts were (and still are) my home. I was gifted a point and shoot camera for Christmas one year and to remember the moment, I'd bring it to every concert I went to. Eventually, I'd bring it to every sleepover and event. Snapping photos has always been important to me. I'm sure 12 year old me would absolutely LOSE it if she knew this would be the start of something amazing. 6 years in - 75+ weddings of all sizes and hundreds of love stories documented and no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Megan was absolutely amazing to work with. She is super sweet and takes the time to listen to what you really want. She pays attention to tiny details and is always there with more ideas. She really takes the time to make sure she knows exactly what you want and how you want it to look. Then she blows it out of the park! If you are ever looking for a photographer I would say go with her! She is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and truly loves her job.

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

Kay was referred to me by two different brides. I had seen their wedding pictures posted and reached out immediately. The turnaround time for receiving our photos took TWO WEEKS. I know brides that didn’t get their photos back for months. It was so special to be able to see them so quickly after our wedding. Especially considering the exceptional quality and attention to detail in each image. The final edits were flawless, and the photographer managed to enhance the natural beauty. I got every single photo I had put on my shot-list. But what stood out most was when we noticed that we didn’t get a picture of my parents alone and I asked her if we ever took one. She offered to photoshop a picture of them together and the final result was unbelievable. You would have never known they were not standing next to each other. My parents could not be happier with it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kay to anyone in need of capturing their special day. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a top choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Fair Oaks Farms was a nice venue for our wedding, though their communication style was a bit minimal on the actual wedding day. The quality of their work and value was very nice - the servers were attentive and helpful throughout the evening. However, when our official reception time was up at 11pm, the staff turned on all the lights and rushed us to gather our belongings and vacate the reception hall immediately. This made the end of our special night feel a bit abrupt and hurried. Overall, Fair Oaks Farms provided a pleasant setting for our wedding, but could improve the communication and transition at the end of the night.

I am an insatiable traveler who enjoys capturing alllll the love. Raw, uniquely candid moments are my favorite. We reside in a tiny farm town in Northwest Indiana. I can't cure my love of adventure - waking up in an unexplored place makes my heart race in the best way.

We love Kelsey! She has done our engagement, wedding and now family photos! She knows how to get all the best angles, lighting, etc. The photoshoots are always fun and I love how they always turn out! We will keep using her forever :)

I love to create… I’m in my happy place when I’m able to create. My career in floral design started while I was still in college obtaining a business degree. Like a lot of college students, I spent my summer interning in an office environment…and quickly realized that wasn’t how I wanted to live my life. I needed something different, something that would allow me to more fully utilize my creativity and desire to design. When I returned to campus in the fall, I started working part time at a small floral shop. It wasn’t long before I knew I’d found my love and my passion.

I am so obsessed with how my flowers turned out! They were so beyond perfect! I keep getting so many compliments on them when I show people my wedding photos. I decided to dry and press them myself and they came out beautifully! I can't say enough great things about La Petite!

Please visit my website + fill out the contact form for more information + to receive a Wedding Guide! I absolutely love capture those in between moments with my combination or posed and candid style in photography. I also aim to help my couples as much as I can during the planning process by providing any vendor suggestions they may need as well as creating a timeline to allow the day to flow more smoothly.

There is so many things I can say about my wonderful experience with my photo shoot! Due to COVID my husband and I just got married at the court house and all I wanted were some beautiful photographs. I found Brenda through a random search on Instagram and I fell in love with her work. I’m so lucky that I found her. From the moment I contacted Brenda she was SO informative. I was impressed at her location guide with SO many places not too far from me. When I met Brenda in person at the photo shoot she was so sweet and passionate about how and where to pose us. Her personality is great! My husband prefers to speak Spanish so I was happy that Brenda was able to explain how to pose us in Spanish. I highly recommended Brenda for any photo shoot you want to have and I will definitely be booking her for future events.

🌺 I create vibrant, emotional, dreamy photos for couples who want to savor every moment, but don't want to feel uncomfortable, overly-posed, or awkward in front of a camera🌿✨️ 📍 Chicagoland-based, but always traveling, both for work and fun✈️

If you're thinking about booking with Nina, do it!! I have known Nina for years, and she has done many shoots for our family. We've used her for engagement, maternity, and our daughters first birthday photos. Each session has been nothing short of amazing. She has always been great with communication and her attention to detail is beautiful. We get so many compliments on her photos. She was fantastic at getting people posed for our daughters first birthday, as well as working with our daughter. She has always been so patient and willing to listen to my ideas, then does her best to make them happen. I have never been disappointed when working with Nina, and we look forward to having many more memories captured by her.

I'm Lauren! I'm an outgoing creative whose energy comes from being around other people. I love to entertain, read, stay active, and travel. When I'm not creating memorable experiences as an Indiana Wedding Photographer, I'm snuggling my two-year old and cooking!

Lauren is hands down the best wedding photographer you can book! She was extremely helpful during the planning process always checking in to see if I needed anything or any recommendations. She is definitely the cheerleader you need during all the stressful planning. The day of my wedding Lauren was by my side the entire day getting all the shots I wanted and making sure I was okay and didn’t need anything. She made sure we were comfortable and had absolutely anything we needed the whole day. She was hands down the best photographer I could book for my wedding day. So good I also plan to keep using her for any professional pictures I will need in the near future!
