A Perfect Choice!

Elliot was professional, has a beautiful creative vision, and put us at ease every step of this wedding process. Our pictures came back quickly and we could not be happier with how gorgeous they turned out. They look straight out of a wedding magazine! I do not enjoy taking pictures, but Elliot made our photo sessions fun and comfortable, both during our engagement session and our wedding day. Elliot’s attention to detail at the price point he offers is simply unmatched. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to go with Developing Diamonds for our big day!

Wedding Photos

It has been a pleasure working with Developing Diamonds. They were very responsive and willing to meet multiple times before our wedding. The price was very responsible and they were all very professional. Would definitely recommend. Almost 3 years after our wedding we lost all our pictures when our computer crashed. Elliot was able to recover our photos and sent them to us. We are so grateful, those are memories we will cherish forever.

Amazing experience!

We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, working with Elliot was a breeze — always responsive, incredibly helpful, and informative every step of the way. On our wedding day, we had Andrew photographing us, and he was absolutely wonderful: friendly, relaxed, and so good at putting everyone at ease. He captured so many beautiful moments, and our guests genuinely enjoyed having him around.

Our final gallery turned out even better than we could have imagined. We’ve received so many compliments on how stunning the photos are, and they truly made the entire day feel even more special. We’re so grateful for the experience and the memories they helped preserve.

10/10 Photographer & Experience!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Elliot as our wedding photographer. From our very first engagement shoot to the big day itself, he was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Elliot understood our vision perfectly every single time and made us feel completely at ease, knowing everything was in great hands.

His communication was excellent. He answered every one of our (many) questions quickly and clearly, which made the entire process stress free. The final photos went above and beyond what we could’ve imagined.

If you’re looking for the perfect photographer for your special day, don’t think twice: book Elliot!

We had such a wonderful experience with our wedding photographer! From the very beginning, he was professional, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to understand what we wanted and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process.
On the wedding day, he was organized, calm, and captured every moment beautifully. The photos turned out better than we could have imagined, and we’ll treasure them forever. His pricing was also fair for the quality and service provided.
