    So organized!

    My husband and I have a huge family and a very large bridal party. We didn’t want to do a first look so I needed these pictures of go very quickly after the ceremony. Missy and Maggie were amazing. They took charge and got all my photos done. We still had time to enjoy a drink before introductions.
    I loved how well they worked together. While Missy was taking formal photos we had Maggie snapping some candid ones. I am so excited to see the final photos. I know they are going to be amazing. Thank you two for making my day go so smoothly!

    Elite Photo's reply:

    OH. So sweet. Thank you for the kind review. Your day was just amazing. I know you both went through so much to get there and it was an honor for Maggie and I to be there to capture every second. And that dance floor...... packed all night. What a great day.

    Fabulous photographer!

    Words cannot describe how impressed we were with Missy! From the moment we met her, we could instantly tell she displayed professionalism and a keen sense of artistic flair all for an affordable price! Her and her team was on top of every little detail the day of the wedding. Highly highly recommend Missy! Five stars all around!

    Missy was amazing to work with. My husband and I used her for both our engagement and wedding pictures. Her attention to detail is spot on. She makes you feel relaxed and comfortable during the pictures. Missy and her team were there for our wedding and were very accommodating. I got many compliments on them from my bridesmaids. We changed the times a few times and it was no issue for Missy. She is always responsive and will answer any questions you have. I would definitely recommend Elite Photo.

    Missy is amazing. You want someone who will get to know you as a couple and pick up the vibes of the type of pictures you want other than the ones requested? Missy. You want Amazing photos that make you feel like it was yesterday? Missy. You want someone who can gather the whole family bride and groom, take amazing requested photos and send them on their merry way as she goes and hunts for the best pictures. Missy. We were on a budget and we picked an excellent package the others couldn't compare. The only thing she won't tell you is how HARD it is going to be to pick your favorites for your wedding album. glad we picked her.

    We went with Missy and Elite Photo for our wedding on 9/16/17 at Acquaviva Winery. We also did our engagement session with Missy as well. Missy did an excellent job with our engagement photos! They turned out great and we received tons of compliments on the pictures from friends and family. Missy was very creative with the pictures and we loved how professional she was! Maggie came to help Missy on our wedding day as well and she was a pleasure to work with as well! We have nothing but great things to say about the both of them! She always was quick to respond to any of my questions through email. Missy also gave us advice and guidance on the day of timeline through our wedding consultation on the phone. I hope we can hire her again in the future! I highly recommend Missy and Maggie for your upcoming wedding! Very happy we went with Missy and her team!

    I cannot recommend Missy at Elite Photo enough! Missy photographed our wedding in July and we could not have asked for a better photographer. We met with her once before the wedding and we were instantly comfortable with her. She listened to us every step of the way and helped us achieve our vision. She clearly knows what she is doing. She has an excellent eye and good attention to lighting and detail. Our guests were very impressed with her, too. She is so pleasant to be around, I hope we can hire her again in the future! Our pictures were, of course, amazing, and there are so many! Thank you Missy for making our wedding day memories perfect!

    You cannot find better than MISSY and ELITE PHOTO!!! She shot our engagement pics and wedding day and I could not have been more pleased with her artistic eye, professional knowledge, and guidance. My husband and I are camera shy people and Missy made us feel so comfortable and relaxed with the engagement shoot as a nice warm up for the day of (not to mention the pics turned out gorgeous!) I've been in a dozen weddings and no photographer has been as involved, helpful, and invested in the couple as Missy and her apprentice were with us. Missy gave us advice and guidance on the day of timeline which none of our other vendors offered and had very reasonable rates for her packages and photo albums. Our day went off without a hitch thanks to MISSY!!! We love her and recommend her to all our friends! Book Elite Photo for your special occasion and you won't regret it!

    Missy is a phenomenal photographer, which is obvious when you look through her work. What I also loved about her during our engagement and wedding was how creative, flexible and kind she was. She had some great ideas during our engagement session that made me so comfortable with her the day of the wedding.

    We absolutely love our wedding photos. Missy and Maggie captured so many beautiful moments, big and small. The tears, the laughter, the candid moments, we have beautiful photos of all of them to cherish. I highly recommend Elite Photo!

    Missy is amazing! Hiring her as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. The photos she took were genuine and beautiful both in the engagement session and on our wedding day. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding photos. Missy is professional, yet so caring and warm. My husband, Mark, and I are thrilled with how she captured our wedding day and would recommend her to anyone!

    I couldn't recommend Missy at Elite Photo more highly. She impressed me from the start with her professionalism and her congeniality. She asked all the right questions during our introductory interview in order to thoroughly prepare herself for that one magic shot! And, oh boy, she really outdid herself....we got hundreds of amazing pictures!! I'm an aspiring photographer and it was really a pleasure to witness all the tricks of the trade Missy had mastered. She set the scene well at each place in creative ways. She used remote flashes to get some fantastic dance shots at the wedding. She captured my wife and I in front of a sunset in all different poses. She somehow caught the perfect crowd reaction shots during the wedding speeches. She took beautiful angle shots of the church.....she created a lot of depth in her shots. She was able to get a lot of the families together for some priceless family pics. Missy is as good as it gets!

    Choosing Elite Photo was one of the easier (and BEST) decisions we made during our wedding planning. Missy was so warm & friendly to work with, offering tons of great ideas (and props) but also letting us personalize our shoots (yes, two!) to fit our personalities. She provided helpful feedback to ensure we were giving her our best smiles to capture the picture she envisioned. Both our engagement shoot and wedding day were raining and cold, but Missy was creative in how to make the most of what the weather gave us and the pictures are INCREDIBLE!! Thank you thank you Elite Photo -- HIRE MISSY and you'll have a lifetime of picture memories to be thankful for :)

    Missy/Elite Photo has been fantastic! We started working with her for our engagement photo shoot - which turned out to be a surprise proposal for me! It was actually Missy's first time at doing that, and it was flawless! She caught on film the moment my husband knelt down to getting my reaction and celebration. We then went around the town where the proposal happened to further celebrate our engagement. Doing an e-session with her as well as the wedding means the money you put towards the shoot goes towards your wedding session.
    She and her assistant did amazing for the wedding! The organization and planning prior was super detailed and we had the timeline down to the minute for how it would go which made it really easy to stay on time that day. A few photo ideas I hadn't thought about until reception she easily jumped into and accommodated - which we were SUPER appreciative for! And she didn't leave before making sure I felt everything was covered. I couldn't have been happier with the services and have been enjoying her sharing some initial shots before we see everything in the next few weeks.
    In working with her, she is super sweet and helpful. We actually experienced her work through a few other friends ahead who married ahead of us. So when it became our turn, it was a no-brainer that we would end up using her! Would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who's looking for a great photographer!

    I chose Elite Photography as my wedding photographer after searching photographers in the Batavia IL area. As I was living in Ohio at the time, I didn't know any of the local vendors. I really liked the work portrayed on her website, and thought she had a great eye for "moments" that usually go by forgotten. I contacted Missy and she was very professional and nice. Everything went quickly and she contacted me many times to make sure she had a good idea of what I wanted/expected. Very easy to contact if I had questions, and I always got quick answers. I was very happy with Missy and my second photographer Joe. The photos turned out amazing, and I will have these memories captured forever! You will be happy you chose Elite Photography!!

    Nearly 8 years ago, my younger sister got married in Lemont, IL. That was my first encounter with Missy from Elite Photo. I remember how efficient she was in planning/taking photo throughout her Wedding. When I saw the Proofs, they were incredible! Each photo evoked such beautiful emotion, I knew then that Missy is a Master Photographer.

    So, a year ago this past April when I got engaged, we KNEW we had to call Missy and see if she would photograph our June 7th, 2014 wedding. She agreed, and we couldn't be happier! We met with her 2 months later (an entire year prior to our Wedding) and she drew up a detailed timeline for our Wedding Day. Her meticulous attention to detail gave us so much confidence in her as it was apparent to us that she knows what she's doing.

    Finally, our Wedding weekend had arrived! Missy arrived at our Dress Rehearsal with a wonderful Intern. They planned their photo angles as they watched our Minister direct us through our rehearsal. The next day, Missy and her intern arrived early as our Hairdresser was setting our hair. They captured every moment of our wedding day and preserved these memories for us in their beautiful photos!

    Missy's eye for composition is what sets her apart from other Photographers. We highly recommend you contact Elite Photo for your Special Occasion Photography needs.

    Missy is the BEST!!! She took our engagement photos last fall and just spent the entire day with us capturing every moment of our wedding.

    I had a hard time selecting just one photo to use for our Save the Dates... they were all so good! She is very familiar with lots of lovely locations in the area and gave us a great variety of fun, sweet, romantic and serious pictures.

    We have seen a few teasers of our wedding photos so far and they are AMAZING!

    Missy is very creative and set up the most beautiful shots. She has an eye for just the right background.

    She is also open to fun ideas and making sure we captured certain photos as well. We had a few special photos we wanted to take (Thank You & Christmas Card ideas) and she scouted out the best spots for each.

    She kept us on schedule and feeling stress-free all day. Words cannot describe how happy I am with our entire experience.

    If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, family photos or graduation pictures... Don't look any further than Missy and Elite Photo.

    Made us feel comfortable & captured our authentic selves

    Missy from Elite Photography did a great job making us feel comfortable & capturing our authentic smiles and emotions. We did an engagement session to see her style and loved the way she composed her shots. We couldn't be happier with the backdrops Missy suggested (she has a lot of experience in the St. Charles, Batavia and Geneva area and gave us great guidance). Missy had a clear schedule on our wedding day and captured all the shots we wanted while giving us time to rest between the wedding & cocktail hour. We really appreciated her capturing lots of photos of our family and friends - this was very important to us. Now that we have our wedding photos back, we can't wait to select our favorites and see our finished wedding album!

    If you want your photographer to creepily friend and follow everyone you know on social media, go ahead and use missy miller with Elite Photo. She's only out to push her name, doesn't care about the couple unless she happens to get lucky and capture a shot she thinks is good. Some of my friends and family members captured better shots than she did - I actually created another wedding album separate from the one she made us pay for because it was missing all the best shots. Also, bumped into her a year after my wedding and she had no clue who I was..... yet she "likes" all kinds of pictures my friends post on social media?! Inappropriate. Weird. Would not recommend.

    Elite Photo's reply:

    I have a great creative and professional relationship with all my clients so this is quite surprising. I can't imagine which of my couples this could be, so please message me privately and I would love to make this right for you.
