Light and Airy Photos!!

Elizabeth and her team did a beautiful job capturing our wedding day! She used film as well as digital to shoot our wedding and we are thrilled with what has come back so far! They have sent over several of the preliminary shots but we are anxiously awaiting the rest! She gives a timeline of 6-8 weeks turn around for the whole album and we are right at 7 weeks now, so hopefully we will get to see the rest of her lovely work this week! But what we have seen so far, has been stunning!!! What I love most is that she does a "light and airy" style of photography, which is kind of hard to find right now because most people are interested in the "dark and moody" style. I looked for quite some time for a light and airy style photographer because I didn't like the thought of putting a dark cast on our wedding photos. Elizabeth had photographed at our venue before so she was able to give good recommendations as to where there was the best lighting most of the time. Leading up to the big day, Elizabeth was flexible with meeting me on zoom after my normal work hours in the evening time. She was professional and helpful with coming up with a schedule of photo ops for the day. She and her assistant worked very well together on the day of and made things run smoothly from a photography stand point. Thank you Almond Leaf for everything!

The BEST photography and cinema team!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Almond Leaf!! We were sold on Almond Leaf once we were provided with examples of their photos from past weddings. Each moment was so effortlessly/naturally captured and photos were so tastefully edited. We also fell in love with the lighting in these photos, which was just stunning in each shot. Once we met with them (virtually) we needed about 20 seconds to decide whether we wanted them to be our photography and cinema team!! Elizabeth and David have such a radiant energy that was not intimidating at all.

Almond Leaf went above and beyond with everything. My husband and I were living in Scotland while planning our wedding and Almond Leaf still sent us a beautiful bouquet of flowers before the wedding! They responded to emails quickly and met with us before the big day to double check the timeline and all photo requests.

Cannot emphasize enough how lucky we were to have David and Elizabeth around the day of our wedding. My husband and I are not great at posing and being in front of a camera, but Elizabeth knew exactly how to position us and where to find the best lighting. They made us laugh and eased our nerves before the ceremony. In addition, they made sure we got all the photos we wanted. There was also a second photographer who was unbelievably kind and professional. Speaking as the bride--The Almond Leaf team made me feel absolutely beautiful on the day and they were just full of compliments, which was the confidence boost I needed considering the anxiety that can come before the ceremony. AND my husband and I never had to worry about time with them--they were always on top of it and made sure we got to where we needed to be.

We were given some sneak peeks the day after the wedding and they are STUNNING. My husband and I know that we will cherish these photos and our wedding video for the rest of our lives so we feel incredibly lucky that the memories of our wedding day were captured so beautifully. We love Almond Leaf!!

Amazing -- Elizabeth is the perfect photographer!!

We had the most amazing experience with Almond Leaf Studios! The owner and lead photographer, Elizabeth, recently captured our Asheville, NC wedding. She is a creative mastermind - the attention to detail and creativity she brings is incredible. She went above and beyond to capture all the special moments of our wedding and reception. She knows how to find and capture the most flattering angles and you can feel the moments come back to life through her photos. Her positive, kind, and energetic attitude made everyone involved feel so comfortable and at ease while taking the photos. She was highly efficient and organized so I could relax and enjoy my wedding knowing that she would capture all the details and special moments! From first booking her to receiving our final photos, working with Elizabeth was easy and fun. I cannot recommend her enough - she and her whole team are amazing!!

Absolute Best.

Elizabeth was amazing from the very beginning. Her upbeat and yet calming personality put me at ease from our first phone call. I loved that she was familiar with our venue and gave us access to past gallerias for examples of her work. Picking a photographer was the most challenging vendor choice we were faced with. There are so many options out there and many styles to choose from. The moment we discovered Almond Lead Studios we crossed our fingers they had our date open and were within our budget. Thank goodness they were!! Elizabeth was willing to work with us on price by offering a mix of film and digital and presented a wonderful timeline very early on. Elizabeth and her assistant Sadie we're so great the day of the wedding, we took the perfect amount of staged photos and then set us free to go enjoy our party. We are absolutely obsessed with how the photos turned out. They are warm, bright, soft and capture our joy and the magic of the mountains during the fall. I highly recommend Almond Leaf Studios!! Thank you Elizabeth and Sadie for your amazing work.

We are so thankful we found Almond Leaf Studios!

The best piece of advice we can give to other wedding couples is don’t waste your time looking for another photographer – book Elizabeth! She is so incredibly talented and to find someone who shoots both film and digital is a rare treat. We’re awestruck over the stunning work she produced from our wedding day and find any excuse to relive the magic through her beautiful images. Elizabeth immediately understood our vision from our first conversation and even recommended a florist who fit our aesthetic flawlessly. Her warmth and energy is joyful to be around - you’ll feel like you found a best friend, not just your wedding photographer!

We initially decided not to have videography for our wedding but then changed our minds when my grandmother was unable to attend. At that point, we chose to hire a videographer as a gift to her. Cue David! He was so much fun to work with and even showed up early so he could catch our first look. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and as a result, was able to capture every moment and every emotion flawlessly. Our personalities, as well as those of our families, are all present in the film. Our wedding video is absolutely stunning and something we will cherish for years to come. He is an artist in every sense of the word and you will not be disappointed with his work!

Wow! We went back and forth on if we wanted a wedding video, and are SO unbelievably glad we got one and even more happy we picked Almond Leaf Studios. Not only was David hilarious and fun to have around during our wedding day, but we're beyond pleased with the video he created and the moments he captured. We're obsessed! Definitely recommend them!

I need ten stars for this review...I'm ashamed I'm sitting here on my second wedding anniversary and it took me this long to leave this, BUT, do you know what I reshare every year now? And share with friends and family that weren't able to be there (Like my grandmother who was sick and missed my wedding) ? Our wedding video! Oh how I wish we'd hired them for photo AND video, (learn from my mistake!!) we used Almond Leaf for our video, which I was very on the fence about even "needing" in the first place. Our video is honestly more important to me than the bulk of our photos. Of course I'm happy we have photos, but we are sitting here on our second anniversary with no photo album but a video that we have watched a thousand times over and allows us to nearly relive our incredible day over and over. On top of that, Elizabeth was INCREDIBLE on our day. She was an incredible air of calm, love and friendship interjected exactly when any emotions start to take over. Elizabeth an David are the perfect blend of professional and the most real life personal you could ever hope to have at your side on your day. You'll hire a vendor and leave with some of the best type of people you ever hope to meet. Plus, their footage is INCREDIBLE. You NEED them. Like, yesterday.

Okay, I LOVE David and Elizabeth. They really are just the best. I studied photography and video in college, so the photos and video were one of the most important things to me on our wedding day. Even if it isn't your thing, keep in mind that they are all up in your space for the entire day, so they can kind of make it or break it. From the minute we met them, we knew they were the right ones for us. We didn't even contact any other photographers. They are so easy to get along with, and the day of our wedding they were discreet when they needed to be but also SO helpful when we needed help. Elizabeth and her assistant wrangled our dog for us and kept track of the time, making sure the boys were getting ready on time. She drew out a timeline for me prior to the wedding day and helped me talk it out with the vendor owner when we had disagreements about when I should get into my dress. They may seem a little pricey, but you really get what you pay for. The photos were GORGEOUS and the video is perfect - it really shows our personalities, and when I watch it, it makes me forget about all of the little things that went wrong that day. It is also hard to find a photo/video team, so when I priced out these services separately, it was actually less expensive to do the package with Almond Leaf. They also sent us a sweet little box with a card, photos and a thumb drive with the video after the wedding. I am already planning on hiring them for a baby shoot when that day comes (I'm not even pregnant yet). You will have absolutely no regrets with this team - hands down some of the sweetest, most passionate people I have had the pleasure of knowing.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
