About

Your wedding/elopement day should unfold in a way that's meaningful to you. It is not a photoshoot, a series of stiff poses, or an unreal version of yourself.

What you feel on your wedding day is what I want to document, for you to keep and pass down as your visual legacy. The way your experience feels really does matter.

Documenting it honestly and preserving every drop of emotion the way you felt it, that's where I come in.

Elissa believes the more real the moment, the more impactful the photo. Which is why she has developed a photography style that is honest, relaxed, and all about fleeting emotions captured in an uninterrupted way. Having started shooting weddings in 2007, Elissa is dedicated to each of her couples purely through the love of the experience and process. She’s there to help you create the wedding celebration you’ve always dreamed of, and to make sure you and your partner have the space to live out the magic of your day. With Elissa as your photographer, your images will encapsulate how the day felt and not just how it looked. She's for all couples, people, and kinds of love, and you won’t be able to imagine having anyone else capture your day once you choose Elissa as your photographer.

BEST Wedding Photographer!

If you want to feel like your photographer is one of your besties who you would invite to your wedding if she wasn't already going to be there, hire Elle. She was one of the best investments that we made for our wedding, and we would do it again in a heartbeat given the chance to do it all over again. We hired Elle for all-day coverage so that she could capture everything and we are so glad that we did! She did a great job of making friends with all of our people and adding to the fun of the wedding while also being able to blend into the behind-the-scenes to capture the moments of our day without us feeling like she was interrupting. Her enthusiasm and make-it-happen attitude was so appreciated and made a huge difference for me during moments when I was nervous and needed someone to lean on or hype me up. I knew she truly wanted to be there capturing my wedding and that she was invested in our day going well. You can really tell the difference when it's not just a job for a vendor and that they are personally invested in you. She stayed longer than expected at our reception and got some priceless photos of moments we didn't expect to happen (some groomsmen jumped in the lake!) and honestly, I was sad when she left because everyone just wanted to hang out with her--she's so cool! She delivered a bunch of sneak peeks a couple of weeks after our wedding and our entire gallery a month or so later. Our photos are everything we hoped they would be, and we will cherish them forever. Thank you for everything, Elle!
If you're still looking for your photographer, PLEASE hire Elissa Deline Photography! You absolutely won't regret it, and you'll gain a friend in the process!

Where to Even Begin!

I don't even know where to begin this review, I am so overwhelmed with gratitude and joy in having had the opportunity to have Elissa Deline Photography as our photographer for our wedding! Elissa is down-to-earth, relaxed, professional, poised, and probably a therapist in her spare time for the amount she was helping to mentally, and emotionally, guide me through the day!

Her style of photography is real, and captures true emotion. It doesn't attempt to capture something which isn't there - she finds those gems - the ones where you don't realize you're smiling, the tear that has escaped, or the look of revernence your husband (!!) has when you're in his line of sight - and ensnares them for all time.

I cannot recommend her enough, as she truly was a pleasure to work with leading up to, during, and after our big day. Elissa makes you feel like you're her best friend - warm, embraced, seen - and will let that shine through her photography. Talented and skilled, kind and professional, hire her today!

A true GEM! Captured emotion and realness so beautifully

We worked with Elle in August 2022 at The Greystone Inn. I loved her aesthetic and ability to capture candids so perfectly. She was so fun to get to know and so reassuring on our wedding day that we didnt have to be overly posed or know how to act in front of a camera. We love our pictures so much! They are exactly how I remember everything. We laughed, we cried, we gasped looking at the way she worked with textures and colors and so much emotion. I come from a family of photographers so we asked for film to be included and boy are they DREAMY.

Photo Memories

Elissa is the most talented photographer I have ever met. From getting my husband and I comfortable taking engagement photos at the beach to the craziness of the wedding day in a ballroom, Elissa has an eye for capturing the special intimate moments of your day that you can always look back on. She is so friendly, punctual and really knowledgeable about wedding photography and knowing what the couple wants. Elissa goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly, and you don't even know she's there because she goes with the flow and makes sure you get the authentic moments captured that you will cherish forever. My family and wedding party all said they loved how she worked, and how easy it was to get amazing photos. She takes the time to get to know the venue and took the time to make sure I got the family and friend photos I really wanted! My husband and I recommend you hire her as your wedding photographer so you have the special memories you will look at forever.

We love Elissa!!!!!

Where do I even begin!!? Elissa feels like family, and her presence on our wedding day was instrumental in making it one we’ll remember forever!!

My husband and I got married in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic and so much uncertainty. Immediately, when meeting Elissa over zoom, it felt like we’d known her for years, and we knew we’d found “The One”!
She’s one of those people that makes you feel confident, and uplifted. Her smile and laughter is contagious, and her humor and one of a kind personality is so comforting, especially on a day that can so often be filled with butterflies.

Her gorgeous photography truly speaks for itself. Her ability to capture such raw, candid, and intimate moments is unmatched, and one of the many things I love about her. She captures the “realness” of the day, and gifts you with ever-lasting visual memories that bring you right back to that moment in time.
I cannot recommend her enough!!

We love you Elissa!!!

Do Yourself A Favor & HIRE HER!!!!!!

Let me start by saying I do not recommend people unless I actually think they did a fantastic job. I am a little too overly critical of others, and I can honestly tell you that hiring Elle will be the BEST decision you make for whatever your needs are!

I cannot express how truly thankful I am that my now HUSBAND and I hired Elle to take our wedding pictures. She was the best decision (obviously aside from marrying Stephen) that we made regarding our wedding day. I kept going back and forth about hiring a videographer, because I wanted to capture the feelings of the day, but decided against it - and it was a perfect decision because somehow Elle's photos did just that for us - they captured the FEELINGS of the day. She took pictures that truly show who Stephen and I are, and what our wedding felt like, what our love feels like, and I am so grateful to have these pictures forever to help transport me back into the moment of marrying my best friend. Elle is not only a phenomenal photographer, but an incredible human! We had some minor issues that day that I can say in all honesty would have turned into bigger deals had she not calmly handled them for me. She spent the morning of our wedding going from place to place to photograph the pre-ceremony events with both Stephen and I, even though we weren't at the same location. She stayed until well after the last guest left, and continued to check on Stephen and I during the reception to make sure we'd eaten, see if we needed water, and to just genuinely see how we were doing. Not only will we be hiring her for ALL future events that we want photographs taken for, but I really just want to be her friend too! She's awesome! Like I said in the review title, just do yourself a favor and HIRE HER!! She is worth every penny in the world, her work is breathtaking, and you won't regret it!

Amazing Experience

Elissa was ask absolute joy to work with. We met Elissa because we won an engagement session through a giveaway she was doing and she drove all the way to the beach for us. She was friendly and welcoming from the very start. We aren’t super comfortable in front of the camera, but Elissa really helped us to become comfortable. She coached us through the pictures at times, but also encouraged us to just have fun together and the candid photos were just as beautiful. The photos we got back were stunning and we had to book her for our wedding! Since we got engaged right at the beginning of the pandemic, our wedding plans changed quite frequently and Elissa was extremely flexible and even helped us plan our wedding. Elissa spent the entire day with us for our wedding and took pictures of every single special moment and detail. We had a very intimate wedding of immediate family only, and Elissa fit right in with us. She seriously went above and beyond for us and every single photo we got back was beyond our expectations- she made our wedding look even more beautiful than it was! I couldn’t recommend her more. We will be asking Elissa to be our photographer for every other special moment to come!

A Truly Great Experience

I had the pleasure of having Elissa photograph my wedding. She made us feel comfortable and my husband who traditionally is not a fan of having his picture taken or smiling for pictures, was at ease and some of my favorite pictures are of him are from that day. She has a way of capturing moments, that you didn’t know you needed. We love our wedding photos and I honestly look at them constantly! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to capture a special moment or day, and be able to feel the feelings you had in those moments each time you look at the photos.

The most important person at my wedding...

was my bride. Elissa was second. She is truly a master of her craft. We couldn’t be happier with our photos. From the time we first reached out to her through the day we received our edited photos, Elissa was responsive, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. We could she genuinely cared about the day — about our experience. She has a way of putting people at ease. She was helpful without being intrusive, kind and good humored - even with my crazy family. Seriously, you want Elissa at your wedding... our day wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Highly Recommend

Elissa is so friendly. I'm a person that's totally awkward for pictures, but she has many tips and fun scenarios for us to be natural. She's also very flexible about where to go for our pictures and not strict on the hours. Especially due to COVID, we had so many changes to our wedding, but Elissa's really there for us, which we really appreciated! And the photos turned out so beautiful and capturing our natural side. Just what we wanted!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
