Thank you, Elliot!

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos! Elliot had so many creative ideas while still making sure every single thing we wanted was covered. From start to finish, he was incredibly easy to work with, professional, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable to have around on such an important day. He made us feel comfortable and confident, and it truly shows in our photos. We’re beyond grateful for the experience and the beautiful memories he captured. Highly recommend!

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.

The best!

Elliott was AMAZING! He was quick, got exactly what I wanted, and did more than I could have imagined. He was super helpful. One thing I loved about his style are the detail shots. He captured our day so elegantly.

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!

Fantastic photos!

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.
We’re so grateful for his work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer!

Hire Him Immediately

I got married last month, and while I’m a little late writing this review - I just have to share my experience working with Elliot and his team. I have to say that I read almost every review before I spend a dime on anything, and I read almost every one of Developing Diamonds LLC reviews. I gotta say, they are all true. He’s timely, organized, flexible, efficient and has the ability to find all the beautiful moment in a crowd full of people. My husband and I were worried that family photos were going to take up a lot of time, NOPE! Elliot and his team were able to get the shots so quickly! And he was able to get us sneaks before we even sat down for dinner! I just spent the last 12hours looking through all of our wedding gallery, and I truly feel like I was able to be a guest at my wedding. Photos I’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Elliot!!

Amazing wedding photographer

Elliot was amazing to work with for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He showed up on time and was ready to go. He was very easy to work with and came prepared with everything. He gave us a 30 minute warning before his time was up and asked if we wanted any other specific photos. He gave direction and guided us through our wedding photos. He was flexible when our wedding timeline needed to be adjusted. He did a great job with delivering our sneak peak photos within 2 days of our engagement photos and wedding photos. I am so in love with our wedding sneak peaks. I can't wait to see the rest of them. I cannot recommend him enough. I will definitely work with him again in the future!

Developing Diamonds - developing perfection

From our engagement photos session to our send off at the end of our wedding, Elliot did such an amazing job. Could not recommend their services enough. Very professional, very beautiful. Would use them again in a heartbeat. And getting sneak peak shots at the end of the day made it that much more special. Thank you so much! 100/10
