From the first video call we had, she made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. Elyse has such a sweet and calm demeanor, and so attentive, she is like a warm hug. Her documentary-style photography captured every emotion and detail of our wedding day in the most beautiful way. Each photo tells a story, reflecting the love and joy we felt surrounded by our friends and family. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to blend into the background while still capturing candid moments was impressive. We have so many stunning images that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who can deliver breathtaking, authentic shots that truly capture the essence of your day, look no further! We feel incredibly lucky to have found her.

I don’t think I could be any more pleased with Elyse and her whole vibe as well as pictures taken and edited. It was everything my husband and I absolutely dreamed of for engagement photos and our wedding. We appreciate the time, care and dedication that was given. Our photos were a style that we always wanted. We were looking for a photographer that could take great candid photos of us and loved that when we looked at a photo that Elyse took we could completely remember the moment and could read it like a story. We will be booking Elyse for any future event we have and are SO beyond grateful and happy.

As a professional wedding photographer myself, I was very picky about who I chose to photograph my own wedding day. Elyse couldn’t have been a better choice for us - her attention to detail and posing prompts made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Our finished gallery is absolutely beautiful and compliments our style and who we are perfectly. I would definitely recommend Elyse to any couple seeking elegant, refined images that deliver a feeling of nostalgia!

Words alone can't fully express how thankful and in awe we are of Elyse's incredible talent. She turned our dream into a reality. From the moment I found out I was pregnant, my mission was to find someone who could capture the immense joy and beauty of what love can create. Elyse did just that with our dream pregnancy announcement photos. Elyse herself is such a beautiful, warm person, and you will feel more than comfortable around her. Her talent is unmatched, and she creates pure magic with her camera. She has an incredible eye for detail and a unique talent for capturing the essence of each moment. Elyse, the pictures you took are not just pictures, they are beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. Your creativity and professionalism truly shine through in every shot. It's been a few days since we received our pictures, and I still get chills every time I look at them. Her work is absolutely stunning!
