Elyse is a real pro

We contacted Elyse for doing our wedding months in advance of our wedding and were really struck with her level of professionalism when we met and got to know her well. The wife really clicked with her over their shared love of horses.

We ended up contracting with her for one of the packages that included an engagement set and got some recommendations from here for places locally we could go for that set. What our plan was was to incorporate the wife's elderly horse in the shoot so we would have a keepsake with him. But it ended up that the horse wasn't in a condition to be able to travel anywhere, so Elyse came to him. We had a wonderful shoot where he lived.

On the day of the wedding, Elyse and her assistant were a force to be reckoned with. They were so good! The photos are wonderful and they were real experts at finding the perfect moments and angles for our venue, and for herding all the people they needed to. They were even tolerant and of those two aunts who insisted they take photos on their phone and tablet. You know the types.
