Your wedding day is just the beginning of a long and beautiful marriage. You and your beloved deserve a photographer who captures how your day feels, in every sense of the word. Photos where you can feel the wind in your hair, the warmth of the sun on your skin, the butterflies as you slip into your wedding dress, how it felt when he put that ring on your finger, your joyful first kiss as husband and wife, all of it! My specialty and passion is artfully photographing that "We're getting married today!" feeling. Whether it's guiding a boisterous bridal party or inconspicuously capturing candids, I'll be behind the lens, not missing a moment.

Hey!!! I’m Elyse, lover of all things vintage, nostalgic, and black and white. I’m 25 years old and married to the love of my life! We had our intimate wedding in May 2024 after a 3-month engagement and it was such a perfect day! When I’m not working, you’ll find me running, watching foreign films with my husband, daydreaming of becoming a vanlifer on Pinterest, or exploring new coffee shops with my sister.
