We serendipitously stumbled upon Elizabeth Vincent’s website about a year before our wedding and immediately knew that we had to have them as our wedding photographers. Their work was exactly what we never knew we wanted!—creative, different, real, natural, and absolutely gorgeous. Their photos really told the story of the couple, and we loved that. On top of that, both Elizabeth and Vincent have a ton of experience as photojournalists for newspapers. From looking at some of their sports-shots, we knew that capturing all of those fleeting wedding moments would be no problem for these two. When we met Elizabeth and Vincent for the first time, there was no question that we wanted both of them with us on the most important day of our lives. They felt immediately like old friends, and we were laughing and talking like we had known each other for years in a matter of a few minutes. I cannot say enough how important that is on your wedding day—to be comfortable and genuinely like your photographers really shows through in the photographs. For us, this became so important. Our wedding day in late April had rain, wind, limited time for photographs inside the church, and a dress snafu. What could have easily become stressful, high-anxiety situations were completely diffused by Elizabeth and Vincent, who were completely zen about everything and expertly managed time and all the little issues. After the wedding, Vincent suggested just the two of us go to a covered spot for some portraits, which was just what we needed to relax and have a moment alone. Vincent was so good that he had captured everything we could ever hope for in probably 15 minutes or less. To see the photographs he took in that short amount of time, you would have thought we spent hours. We (and our families) were just blown away by the quality. Of course, some of our favorite photos were the ones we didn’t even realize were being taken. They were funny, poignant, creative, and captured who we really are. We were so comfortable with Elizabeth and Vincent, that we didn’t even notice them around most of the time. Vincent also stayed with us until the end of the reception, and let us tell you—he definitely WORKED! He was out on the dance floor taking shots from every angle, up above us taking shots of the whole crowd, and even seemed to manage being in 2 places at once (taking shots of cocktail hour with our guests and with us in a separate room). He also captured the little details we had missed during the wedding (e.g., the room set-up, the centerpieces, the cake, the escort cards, and so much more).
We had a lot of time to search around for photographers, and we probably looked through the portfolios of over 50 photographers in the area; we just couldn’t find exactly what we envisioned (real, natural, and beautiful), until we found Elizabeth Vincent. If you are looking for photographers who can do it all (portraits, the uncut stuff, and weave it all into your wedding “story”), Elizabeth Vincent is your man/woman! They are personable and professional, fun, honest, accountable, and just extremely talented. Having them as our wedding photographers/storytellers was probably one of the best decisions we’ve made, other than the decision to marry each other!
