Amazing experience!
Highly Recommend Carl Elixir
The teams’ enthusiasm was clear and they went the extra mile, even getting down on the floor during our ceremony to get some shots. Ched, our videographer, even endured a bee sting while filming, that's dedication!
Carl Elixir (the studio owner) was a pleasure to work with. He was responsive, organized, and always available to answer our questions. His website is clear and informative, providing the necessary details for planning your special day. While we did not get to pick our specific photographers or videographers (they were assigned to us by Carl), I was able to look at Jeff’s IG before signing the contract.
I highly recommend doing a trial run with your photographer (e.g., the engagement photos) so you know what you do and don’t like. We opted to do our engagement photos in Old Town Alexandria on December 10 and Carl Elixir delivered the photos to us on December 22, ahead of schedule and the holidays, which was awesome and the best surprise.
I highly recommend Carl Elixir and his team for your wedding. Their professionalism, talent, and dedication made for some unforgettable photos that we will have for a lifetime.
Unbelievable Photos and Exceptional Service
During our engagement shoot, there were many people in the background in DC. The team kindly edited them out, making the photos perfect for our invitations.
Although we originally booked another photographer who had moved, we were assigned Jeff instead. I was a bit nervous about the change, but Jeff did NOT disappoint! He was extremely flexible and passionate about his work, ensuring we got the best photos possible. Despite a few hiccups in the timeline, he kept us calm and made us feel our best. If you want breathtaking photos and footage that you'll cherish for a lifetime, look no further than Carl Elixir Photography!

I had the opportunity to do the makeup for an engagement shoot and wedding that Carl photographed. The photos are drop dead gorgeous! He has an amazing eye for beauty and art. There seems to be a whimsical element in his photos. In addition to the amazing quality of his work, he is extremely professional. He showed up to the preparation venue earlier than scheduled and immediately began taking shots. There was no hesitation, indicating his great level of experience.
I am happy to recommend my couples to Carl Elixir Photography. Carl takes gorgeous, flawless photos. He is extremely professional, easy to work with, knowledgeable, and flexible to your needs. Carl Elixir Photography delivers stunning photos for your memorable day!
