Our favorite wedding vendor!

East Elm was great to work with from the start! Aaron made our engagement photos fun and they turned out beautiful. He was very intuitive and accommodating on wedding day. We could trust him to get the shots we wanted. We are so happy we went with East Elm!

Absolutely STUNNING photos!

Aaron was a phenomenal photographer to work with during engagement photos and on our wedding day! He brought a calm & inviting energy with constant new ideas for gorgeous shots. We felt completely comfortable during photos with Aaron and we've receive tons of compliments from our wedding party & family about how great he was! We could not be happier with how our photos turned out and would highly highly recommend East Elm! P.S. We chose a package that included the album and it is absolutely breathtaking!!!

Stunning Photography

My husband and I couldn't be happier to have chosen East Elm as our wedding photographer. Aaron was accommodating and a pleasure to work with—from driving an hour to meet us for engagement photos to adhering to our tight wedding day timeline, we were so pleased! Our photos arrived in a beautiful package and are absolutely stunning — I couldn't love them more and would recommend East Elm to anyone.

Wonderful Photographers!

My (now) husband and I initially chose East Elm Photography because we fell in love with their style while browsing for photographers. Little did we know that in addition to beautiful pictures we would get to work with some truly amazing people. From the beginning Aaron and Melissa were a pleasure to work with, they were easy to correspond with, and addressed all of our questions. Both my husband and I are uncomfortable in front of the camera but Aaron was able to make us laugh and even made it fun during both our engagement session and wedding. Unfortunately, our engagement session was very cold and our wedding was cold and rainy. Despite the conditions Aaron was game to get outside and capture beautiful pictures which I am very thankful for! We love all of the details that East Elm was able to capture throughout our day- it was a pleasure re-living the memories and even discovering a few that we missed the day of. We highly recommend East Elm Photography to any couple who would like amazing pictures taken by wonderful people. My husband and I look forward to East Elm Photography documenting all of our big moments to come!

You will be so happy with East Elm!

Melissa and Aaron at East Elm are friendly, professional, highly responsive and so, so talented! They do so many weddings, and if you go to their website or Instagram, you will see that each and every wedding is photographed so beautifully. Their style is unlike many others, and they know how to capture the most special details. They are also pleasant people to work with, and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photo session and wedding day. You will not be disappointed with East Elm!

We had Aaron as our Main Photographer with East Elm Photographer. We loved our time with Aaron, he was just our style and willing to do anything to get some amazing shots on our special day. He was laid back, and gave us some really special photos of our day that we would not have gotten otherwise. Thank you so much again and we cannot wait to recommend you to future couples needing a Photographer.
