Meet Elise

hi! I'm elise, & i'm happy you found me.

I believe life is meant to be lived.
Explored.
And filled with the people we love.

That belief is at the heart of why I photograph weddings and elopements. I love capturing couples as they experience something meaningful together, whether that means exhcanging vows on a mountain, wandering somewhere new, or celebrating with everyone they love.

To me, photography is a way of holding onto those fleeting pieces of life and turning them into memories you can revisit for years to come.

This is My process:

Couple portraits for engagement session in Moab, Utah, with beautiful red rocks background

I. Book the date.

Reach out to me through my contact page on this website, fill out an inquiry, and let me know what you'd like to book! All my pricing and packages can be found on my packages and info tab. To officially reserve your date, a signed contract and 50% non-refundable retainer are required. All bookings are based on my availability.

II. Take photos.

We'll pick a location, if you don't have a location in mind, I know some excellent nature spots! Most of my sessions are one outfit only, be sure to check. If you need any help with outfits, I can recommend best colors for the time of year and location.

III. Deliver memories.

Turnaround time varies for each session, especially if I'm booked and busy, but normal sessions can expect a 2 to 3 week turnaround time. If you need a quick delivery or simply want the photos sooner, I do offer expedited delivery for an additonial fee! Thank you for your patience. I promise it's worth the wait!
