WOW! From the moment I had my first phone call with Elaine we just clicked, she took so much time to speak with me about exactly what I wanted for our wedding day! She made my husband and I and our entire bridal party feel so comfortable and have so much fun with photos! Even when I got a little crazy and behind schedule she was able to make it all work and have photos of everything we needed! I cannot recommend her enough, from her kindness, to comfort, to the patience she has. She is beyond amazing and I would recommend her again and again every time! Thank you so much Elaine!!!

Wonderful experience and beautiful photos
My husband and I were married in November 2022, and we loved having Elaine as our photographer! She took the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable right from the start. She knew exactly how to bring our vision to life. Our wedding was at the end of fall, but she knew how to capture the remaining seasonal beauty, and she gave us gorgeous wedding photos that we will enjoy forever!

Such a fun and comfortable experience!
Elaine is local to central PA, affordable and such a delight to work with! Our engagement session was the first time we have had professional photos done together. My husband and I used her services not only for our engagement but for our wedding as well. We are very excited and happy with how the photos turned out. I feel I do not photograph well at all yet Elaine made me feel/look so beautiful in them! It was very comfortable and easy going during the sessions and she is very prompt with communication. I had such a great time working with Elaine and would absolutely recommend her for any of your photography needs!

Wonderful & Professional Photographer!
Elaine has photographed my wedding, my sister's wedding and my nephew's newborn photos. Elaine is amazing to work with and made everything so easy! She was an absolute dream on my wedding day, keeping everyone on schedule while capturing all of the pictures I wanted and more! It was a pleasure working with her and hopefully she will be able to take more pictures for our family in the future!

Wonderful!
This review is long overdue but well deserved. Elaine is so down to earth and made us feel comfortable from the 1st meeting to the day of the wedding. She went out of her way to make sure I got poses that I wanted or hoped for. Our picture location didn't go quite as planned and she quickly suggested alternatives that I think ended up being even better! We have a very rowdy wedding party including myself and Elaine was such a champ dealing with us! She was also so willing to help me figure out timelines or anything wedding related, she was happy to help! I would recommend Elaine to anyone & will consider her for possible future needs!

Outstanding Photographer
I’ve followed Elaine’s work on social media for years, but never had an event in my life I needed photographed until our engagement. I knew right away we had to have Elaine as our photographer and we couldn’t be happier. I may be biased, but our pictures are absolutely stunning. Elaine is not only a fantastic photographer, she is a phenomenal person who puts you first and makes you feel comfortable. We love her!!

I love Elaine!
Elaine came highly recommended to me by a friend, and her review was 100% on point. Now I want to make Elaine my friend, too! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She came to Philly for our engagement shoot and was so great that I wasn't even nervous about photos on our wedding day. I cannot wait to see the finish product, but I know they will be beautiful. Thank you, Elaine, for making my day so special!

Elaine was so fantastic! I have received so many compliments on our pictures and I can't stop smiling when I go through them. She captured our silliness, but also captured stunning portraits of us as a couple and individually. I can't wait to print some and have them hung in our home. Elaine managed the day so perfectly and was so attentive to everything going on. She really captured the joy of the day and I can't thank her enough!!
