    Wedding/Family Photography

    Elisabeth is our go-to photographer for our family. She is the kindest person to work with and she has the incredible ability to not only make you feel beautiful, but capture your best qualities in a way that make you look beautiful too! She has made so many of my visions come to life in our photos and we love her! Photos are amazing, and the entire experience is so enjoyable every time—even with antsy toddlers and unexpected weather conditions!

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    Jackie!! Thank you so much. I love your little family to pieces & treasure each time I’ve taken your photos. Thanks for trusting me!

    Elisabeth Joy Photography

    I absolutely adore Elisabeth! She did an amazing job for my elopement. She was very quick to respond and she helped so much with inspiration of photos/poses to find the perfect angles. Even if the pictures I wanted weren't her typical style, she found a way to make the pictures perfect. I will probably always recommend her for wedding photography.

    Incredible wedding vendor

    Elisabeth was the photographer for my sister-in-law’s wedding this past year. I was in attendance and observed Elisabeth discretely capture every detail of the day. She was very professional—telling us exactly where to stand and how to pose. I would highly recommend Elisabeth if you’re looking for someone who will provide breath-taking photos!

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    Thanks so much, Bryan!!! Your review is so kind and thoughtful. Your sister-in-law’s wedding was such a joy to photograph, and the love you all have for each other touched my heart. Thanks again!

    An eye for details

    Elisabeth went above and beyond for my daughters wedding! She also did their engagement pictures and they were breathtaking! She takes so much time and really enjoys what she does! You would be missing out if you didn’t use this photographer!

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    Wow, thank you so so much!!! Their wedding was so family-oriented and I loved seeing how close you all are. You guys know how to party too!! What an honor to be part of your celebration.

    Best photographer around!

    Elizabeth did my sisters wedding pictures and they were amazing! She captured all the amazing moments throughout the day. I knew how good she was going to be because she took my senior pictures and they turned out amazing!

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    Thank you so so much, Danica! Ahh your senior photos were a blast, and it was so fun to see you and Bekah do the special video for Emily during her wedding reception. Thanks for your kind words!

    I would recommend Elisabeth to anyone and everyone!

    We had the best experience with Elisabeth!! Not only is she an amazing photographer, she is so kind. She made us comfortable throughout our entire experience with her. She will walk you through everything to make sure you have a good time! We actually had to change our wedding date suddenly, and she was willing to work with us right away. She responds as soon as she can, and she is super flexible! I highly recommend Elisabeth!

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    You’re the sweetest ever, Emily! You and Levi definitely know how to throw a party & your wedding goes on my favorites list, for sure. Thank you for asking me to celebrate with you!!

    We are impressed!!

    We could not have made a better choice than to have Elisabeth as our wedding photographer - we’re so grateful that we found her! She was flexible with changes in plans, communicated promptly and well, had great ideas for photo locations, and put us at ease during couple shots. She captured important moments well as a single photographer, and our photos turned out with a bright and natural theme. We’d say she is a special person to have present with you on your wedding day.

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    Thanks so much for your review, Ben! Your wedding was relaxed, intentional, and FUN. The day flew by without a note of stress — what a gift haha! Thanks for trusting me to photograph your special day!

    The Best Recommendation I Got

    I am so pleased that a friend of mine recommended Elisabeth! My husband and I never had gotten professional photos and she was so patient and helpful; from planning the engagement shoot to the wedding day, she was an absolute joy to work with. She has professionalism beyond her years and a keen eye for those candid shots we all love! She made us feel so comfortable (despite us being camera-shy at first) that we were able to quickly relax and found ourselves having a great time, so excited to see the results and our genuine happiness in the photos! We weren't sure what to expect, having never done them, and we left the engagement shoot positively giddy. Leading up to the wedding, she was quick to respond and provide suggestions/solutions. Wedding day she was so patient in the blur of the "getting ready photos" and she and her husband showed their skills when it came to our "golden hour photos"; hunting all over the property for the perfect lighting and angles, taking a stream of photos and bustling us along to another spot as fast as we could, capitalizing on the light and the small window we had before we were due back. Elisabeth and her husband navigated the wedding day stress with grace and professionalism; from their attitude in life to their finished photos, you are truly getting the best of the best.

    Professional, Passionate, and Personal!

    Elisabeth captures every moment exactly like you imagine! She photographed my surprise engagement, planned engagement shoot, and my wedding. Whenever i want to remember those special times, i look back at her work and the photos put me right back in the moment as if i were reliving them. That’s true talent. She’s kind, makes you feel comfortable, and will always work with what’s best for you. HIGHLY recommend!!

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    Hannah, THANK you!! You and Zach will forever be one of my favorite couples. Your wedding was so fun & beautiful. I’ll never forget the breakfast spread you had for dinner — that’s my kind of reception haha!

    Truly Professional Artist

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Elisabeth as my wedding photographer and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only have I known Elisabeth since childhood, but her calming presence and attention to detail made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From the initial consultation to the final product, Elisabeth was professional and easy to work with. She captured every special moment with such artistry and precision, creating stunning photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. I would highly recommend Elisabeth to anyone in need of a talented and reliable wedding photographer. She truly exceeded all of my expectations and deserves every bit of her five-star rating.

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    The best experience

    Elisabeth has been our photographer for every special moment in our lives! She took our engagement pictures, wedding photos, and our first family pictures after our son was born! She truly creates magic and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera! I could not recommend her enough!

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Mikayla!! Your engagement photos were in the freezing cold and your wedding was in sweaty Texas, but they were both such memorable times. 2 kids later, and you & Danny are still such a role model couple who I love hanging out with! Thank you for trusting me!

    Amazing photos!

    Elisabeth took wedding pictures for my wife and I, and I was honestly shocked at how good her photos were! She is really so talented, definitely wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to take photos for such an important event. You can trust her to deliver beyond what you expected!

    Elisabeth Joy Photography's reply:

    Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Chris! I really appreciate it. It’s so crazy that just a few years ago we were at your wedding, and now you have 2 babies. You and Lanora are such a special couple. ✨
