Ely's work is incredible! From my initial inquiry regarding availability and pricing to the delivery of the wedding gallery, she was prompt, professional, and extremely easy to work with. The day of the wedding she and her husband, Ryan, were laid back, calm, and made everyone feel so comfortable - I mean even my Dad smiled in the photos! I just cannot say enough about how great the experience was working with Ely! I knew before I even received my wedding photos that she had gone above and beyond and once I received the gallery, I confirmed it! No one I would suggest more, especially for such a special day!

If you are looking wedding photos filled with natural light and beautiful details, and if it is in your budget, I highly recommend Ely Fair Photography! Ely and her husband Ryan are super nice and incredibly professional. Ely was always very quick to respond to emails, and really cared about getting to know my husband and I as a couple. We purchased a package that included an engagement shoot, and Ely used this shoot to get to know us better and figure out what kind of shots work best with us aesthetically. It was important to us to be able to take some engagement photos at my husband's father's fire station in OKC, and Ely was completely open and flexible about that.

On the day of the wedding, Ely and Ryan showed up on time and did a great job managing a tight timeline and our large, complicated families. Even though we were running behind the timeline (not their fault!), Ely and Ryan were patient and calm, but also assertive—just what we needed that day! Most importantly, the photos turned out beautifully—a perfect mix of magazine-quality detail shots, priceless moments, formal portraits, wide angle shots of the ceremony and reception spaces, and fun candids. We received about 1300 photos total, and at least 95% of them are keepers. We had to pick 100 favorites for the albums that came with our package, and it was sooo hard to narrow them down!

It's worth noting that Ely Fair is one of the more expensive photographers in Oklahoma, if not the most expensive. However, for the quality of photos we received, and all of the extras that came with our package (engagement shoot, 8 hours of wedding coverage with 2 photographers, 10x13 silk-bound album, two mini parent albums, online photo gallery, all high-res images on a really neat clear acrylic USB disk), we felt the price was well worth it.

WOW I can't say enough about Elyse and Ryan. When you choose them, they make you part of their family. They are so easy to work with, so kind, and obviously their work is GORGEOUS.

My favorite thing about using Ely Fair for our engagement photos and wedding was how comfortable and natural they were. They capture your personalities and your love as you naturally show it. On our wedding day, they conducted the group well for family photos, but they were great at staying incognito during the ceremony and reception. They don't awkwardly stop situations and make you pose for a good shot. They are simply talented enough to capture incredible shots without having to stage everything.

My best advice- use them! You want your photographer to capture natural moments that represent REAL memories. Also it's important to know that they sign over ALL photos to you to print or do whatever with, while others make you pay for every. single. print. afterwards (as if you need even more costs on top of having a wedding).

Choose Ely Fair, and you won't be disappointed!!

Elyse and Ryan of Ely Fair Photography shot our wedding and cannot say ENOUGH good things about them.

First things first, their photos are stunning, artful and well composed. Elyse has a tremendously good eye for shooting and then couples this skill this with diligent editing. You can tell that she painstakingly edits your photos as if it were her own.

Secondly, Elyse (and Ryan) are incredibly organized and beyond professional. From the initial quoting process, to the shot list prep, to the actual event, to the follow-up, there was never a time when Elyse was not on top of every single detail.

Thirdly, (and this is the part that I didn't know that I was looking for in a photographer, but was so happy to have had) Elyse is SUPER calm and relaxed. When there are a million things going on during the wedding, she is almost cameleon-esk in her ability to take photos without feeling like your stalker for the day. She is also usually accompanied by her adorable husband, Ryan, for weddings. Ryan is the consummate guys guys and huge compliment to her service since he can take all of the pre-wedding shots with the groom's party.

If you are reading this review and wondering if Elyse is worth her slightly higher than average price for your wedding or lifestyle photos, she absolutely is. Expressions like "you get what you pay for" were invented for professionals like Elyse. I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

When I look at my pictures (engagement and wedding) I'm speechless. They are beautiful and capture the moment in a way unimaginable. Fun, Professional & Creative are the first things that come to mind when I think about working with Elyse & Ryan...their teamwork and eye for beautiful shots are spot on. I have nothing but great things to say, we had so much fun during engagement and wedding shots and these are the captured memories we will refer back to forever! Thank you for being flexible, laughing and having fun adventures with us, we loved every minute!

I am so blessed that I was introduced to Ely Fair Photography by a friend of mine. Elyse and Ryan are wonderful. They were hands down my favorite vendor for all of our wedding activities. Everyone loved them!
They both made the photos fun and relaxed. Sometimes with weddings, especially with big group shots, the photos can be a pain, but with Elyse and Ryan everything went so smoothly and it was absolutely painless :) And they were flexible too, when I came up with a few curveballs they went right along with it and it turned out wonderful.

Even my husband who despises having to pose for pictures enjoyed himself. He came back gushing about how great Ryan was and how he was joking around with them and they were all just laughing and having a blast. You can really see it in the photos too - everything is just so natural and beautiful.

I love the attention to detail in everything they do. Every time we received something from Ely Fair it was meticulously packaged in the cutest wrapping!

I would absolutely recommend Ely Fair to anyone I could. Elyse and Ryan are so professional and such a dream to work with, not to mention their photographs are gorgeous
