We had originally asked my brother-in-law to be our wedding photographer. Long story short, we found out about 6 weeks prior to our wedding that he was no longer interested in doing it (although he didn't tell us himself.. but that's another review).
Elissa had done our engagement photos and I messaged her, praying that she was available. Thankfully she was.
I am still having nightmares about what would have happened had my BIL done the wedding and not Elissa.
Elissa is an absolute dream to work with. Her photography is absolutely stunning, but equally important is her approach to working with you and with families- she is a consummate professional who is especially adept at kindly but firmly directing photos and getting people out of the way (we have a lot of aspiring photo shoot directors among our families). She gets the job done competently and professional, and the end result is an easy day that results in the most stunning photographs.
Given that we want to remember every second of the day, and photographs are the one tangible thing we get to take with us, we are so incredibly thankful to Elissa for working with us. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Elissa photographed our recent wedding at Chapel Dulcinea in Austin, and we're super happy with the results. We had a small wedding and Elissa captured a great mix of photos during the ceremony, with the entire group after the wedding, and photos of us (bride + groom). She even got some great photos of our dog, which was really important to us!

Elissa was really great to work with, very communicative, and captured wonderful photos. Highly recommend!

Elissa did such an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! She was very responsive and easy to work with even though she had to travel to Houston for both of our events. She helped put us at ease during our pictures (I think everyone feels a little awkward when posing for a photoshoot!) and has such a great eye for setting up some special shots. Our families loved her as well and I would highly recommend her to any couples looking for a great wedding photographer!
