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!!

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.
