Great service, great quality! Book her!!

We are from Michigan and planned our destination wedding in Hilton Head for May 17, 2024. We met with Elle over the phone to discuss the details of our wedding and immediately knew that we wanted to book with her. We planned a trip down to meet with her for our engagement shoot and loved how quick and easy it was. We were nervous for the engagement shoot but she made it fun and effortless. She was very lively and positive throughout the whole shoot which definitely made it more fun for us. Because it went so well, we were confident our wedding day would be the same, which it was! Elle was very professional, stuck to the timeline, got all the planned shots and helped make the day go smoothly. Our guests and family really liked her as well! We are beyond happy with how the photos turned out too. She was one of our favorite vendors and would definitely recommend booking her because you won’t be disappointed! Thank you, Elle!!

These two ladies are absolutely wonderful. During the shoot they did much more than was asked, and was very patient with our little one! I am definitely going to use them again in the future. Highly recommend them to anyone looking into getting pictures made! Thank you ladies!

I knew we looked good. Now everyone else knows too. And the photogs at Elle Michelle are more creative and professional than any others I've worked with. We've used them for a couple years now. I can't imagine using anyone else. Cameras don't take pictures - people do!

They say "a picture is worth a thousand words"...Lesa and Haley's pictures are worth so much more than that! From our engagement session to the wedding day, Lesa and Haley wowed me with their talent, professionalism, and love for what they do. They establish a bond that helps ease anyone who is camera shy (me!) and they make it so natural and fun that you want to do it all over again. Their quality of work is impeccable! Any bride-to-be that chooses Elle Michelle Photography will NOT have to worry for one minute about any wedding details pertaining to photography!! Their pictures tell your wedding day story perfectly, a story you'll want to "read" over and over again!

You will love Lesa and her pictures! She has such a great eye and so creative. Before the shoot, she researched the town to find some cool spots, including an abandoned train, old warehouse and alley! They turned out incredible! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera too! She did our wedding in June 2010 and we are so happy with our pictures! Her passion for what she does is so evident!

Lesa and Haley are absolutely wonderful at what they do! They have a gift for capturing all of the beauty and detail in every aspect of your day, and the artistic talent to create brilliantly stunning photographs that you will cherish forever. They are professional, creative and an absolute blast to work with. Highly recommend them to anyone who needs a skilled photographer with a passion for their work, but the photos speak for themselves...
