    Absolute Perfection

    We could not recommend Liz’s services enough! We had a micro wedding in Acadia National Park on October of 2023.

    We had a unique situation and unfortunately Liz was sick during our elopement. However, she took care of everything and our wedding was absolute perfection.

    Liz met with us several times leading up to the day, easing our worries and answering all our questions - we’re from Florida and had never been to Maine (we picked the spot off of some pictures from Pinterest one random late night). When we found out she would not be able to shoot our wedding, we were devastated and nervous, but we honestly had nothing to worry about. Liz completely mapped out our day, pictures and maps, little suggestions for photo opportunities and got another awesome photographer to cover for her. Liz has extremely high standards and amazing taste! She found someone that could shoot like her and worked with him to give us an incredible day. Liz was also going to be our officiant, and so she found an awesome replacement. Everyone was so friendly and made the day so wonderful.

    After the wedding was done and we were finally home we met with Liz to get our final edited photos. She was so quick with it and the final edits and album experience was breathtaking. The colors popped and she made what was an already beautiful experience even more lovely.

    We highly recommend Liz, she’s incredible and without her help, I just don’t think the day would have been as memorable. Having never been to Maine or Acadia National Park we relied heavily on her past experience and the knowledge she had. In the words of my dad, “each place was prettier than the last.” We would not change a thing about our special day, it was absolute perfection.

    Elizabeth Ivy Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! I too was so devestated to not be your photographer on the day of ( That nasty COVID!) but I knew you were in great hands. I loved editing the photos for you afterwards, looking at all the happy moments and the beautiful backdrops we picked out together, and I am beyond thrilled that your special day was everything you dreamed of!

    Simply the Best

    “Simply the Best. Better than all the rest”

    Those may have been the words heard by our guests as Andrew and I walked down the aisle. But more importantly, it only begins to describe the appreciation and good fortune we have in finding and hiring Liz to be our wedding photographer.

    Neither Andrew and I are necessarily drivers of our own attention, and coming up with a plan for how to have our photos shot wasn’t easy! However, from our first virtual meeting, Liz knew how to make us comfortable so that we could be ourselves around her and her camera. We were drawn to her warm smile, ability to capture unique moments, and bring the atmosphere of the surroundings into each photo.

    Liz is an organized, cool, and calm companion that you’ll love having at your side. Her confidence and organization ensured that of all the logistics, finalizing details for photography were the last thing we needed to worry about. Indeed, on the day of the wedding, as the stage was set for “first looks” (HIGHLY recommend, even if you’re skeptical), seeing Liz’s warm glow and smile just helped set a tone for how special that day can be for a couple. From then on, we let her lead the way, and we were overwhelmed with gratitude for her steady hand, sharp eye, and ability to get the right shot.

    We were excited to receive our photos, but we didn’t expect how a photo could so easily bring us back to that special day. A slight tease of the photos came the day after the wedding, which was so fun. But the delivery of the photos came with us all seeing them together for the first time over a zoom meeting, which only showed how much she truly cares and takes pride in her work. Now, the difficult part…choosing photos for print!

    We couldn’t be happier to have found Elizabeth-Ivy Photography, and would recommend her without reservation. Thank you, Liz!

    Rainy day photo perfection!

    Finding the perfect photographer for your wedding can be a difficult thing because they are photos you plan to cherish forever. Liz was the perfect photographer for us. From the start, with our first consultation, she was interested in what we wanted from our photos and made us feel comfortable. Leading up to the wedding she was very easy to communicate with, and helped us put together a schedule for our day, making everything flow very smoothly.

    On the day of the wedding we had a lot of rain but Liz knew how to make the most of it. She found the perfect indoor spots for beautiful photos and even toughed out the rain with us for a while. The photos in the rain came out magical, we love them so much, and have received so many compliments on them.

    Overall, we would recommend Liz time and time again. She is not only a great photographer but she is a kind person who is easy to talk to and wonderful to work with. She has not only done our wedding, but two other weddings in our family, which says a lot about how highly we recommend her.

    Thank you, Liz, for your amazing work! We wouldn’t change a thing about our rainy day!

    Wonderful Experience Working with Elizabeth Ivy Photography

    It was a very lucky day when we stumbled upon Elizabeth Ivy Photography last year while planning an out-of-state elopement to Maine. After reviewing endless photography websites, we choose Liz because her photos were unique, personal and artful. Also, her personality seemed sincere and down to earth. We were not disappointed! Liz worked so hard in helping us plan our day and pick the perfect spots to visit. She really listened and asked questions to understand our expectations for our day. She didn’t blink an eye when we changed course two months before our wedding day and relocated to an entirely different area of Maine. She responded by sending us fresh options and even went out of her way to research some new sites. I can’t begin to imagine the amount of time she put into helping us plan our day. We felt she really listened to us explain why we are drawn to Maine as visitors and worked hard to incorporate the scenery/features we described as our favorites. When we finally met her in person on the morning of the wedding, it felt as though we were meeting up with an old friend. We don’t enjoy being in front of a camera, but Liz made us feel at ease and most of the time we didn’t realize she was snapping away. We enjoyed having Liz along – she was flexible and accommodating. As promised, Liz sent us a small sampling of the photos the very next day via text which we were able to share with family back home to announce our elopement! We were even more pleased when the full set arrived a few weeks later. She captured so many of the beautiful qualities of Maine that we had chatted about, funny candid shots, and the tender moments that bring us back to the feelings of the day. We wanted our photos to capture the scenery just as much as we wanted images of us enjoying the day. Liz got it right! It’s the perfect mix. We love our collection of photos and are thankful we met such a sweet and talented person. We recommend Elizabeth Ivy Photography for any couple who wants to work with a skilled professional dedicated to getting to know you before the big day and learn what will thrill you when your photos arrive.

    We are so happy with our shoot!

    We really enjoyed working with Liz for our elopement. She helped us come up with creative shoot ideas and was super flexible, professional, and fun. She worked with us even after we changed our elopement date and location, and she even came up with helpful ideas about what to do in our new location. On the day of, she helped us so much in staging our photos and came up with great ideas on the spot to take advantage of the landscape and light. The photos are magical! She was so easy to work with and we are so grateful we found her!

    Wonderful photographer!

    Liz did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding at York Golf and Tennis this past October! She was incredibly thoughtful, detailed and professional. Our pictures turned out beautiful and captured every moment of our special day! Would highly recommend Liz!

    Amazing experience and perfect photos!

    We went to Liz for both our small wedding in Wells, ME, as well as engagement photos! Her description on her website of being there for the “chill laidback types” is spot on! She captured both sessions perfectly for us, and I couldn’t be happier with the selection of wedding photos. Liz has a knack for knowing exactly what we needed and wanted based on our conversations before each session, and went above and beyond at our wedding, capturing the environment, ceremony, and some of the after party. We truly couldn’t be happier, and look back in our pictures so fondly! Thank you, Liz! :)

    Fantastic time working with Liz!

    Liz was an absolute pleasure to work with! My wife and I went to Liz for our engagement and wedding photos and we could not have been happier with the experience. Liz not only has a great eye for creating and capturing authentic portraits and candid shots, she's also incredibly friendly, professional, and easy going.

    For our engagement shoot in downtown Portland, Liz helped us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera right off the bat while at the same time making it a truly fun experience. She picked out a bunch of locations for shots ahead of time and had some unique ideas for photos that really showcased her creativity. Liz also seamlessly navigated both our large wedding party and some challenging transportation logistics to and from our wedding day site, all without missing a beat.

    Throughout our whole time working with Liz - from our initial introductory meeting to the engagement shoot to our wedding day - she consistently went above and beyond. She really shone at curating an authentic vibe to her photos that fit our personalities. We are thrilled with the collection of photos that Liz took and we 100% recommend her to anyone!

    All We Could Have Ever Asked For!

    Liz was the best photographer we could have ever asked for! Prior to the wedding, she met with us several times to go over what was important to us and to ensure we knew the general flow for our big day. On the day of, she communicated about her arrival time and came early to scout out the area. As last details were being set up, Liz was welcoming and calm. During the wedding, Liz was attentive and gave her 100% to every photo! Looking through the photos and slideshow, brought tears to our eyes and showed her creative eye. Because of Liz, we have the most precious and memorable moments captured!

    If you’re looking for a photographer who cares deeply about helping to create a beautiful experience, then Elizabeth Ivy Photography is for you!

    Incredible!

    We LOVED working with Liz and cannot recommend her more. She is not only extremely talented, but so very kind and makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. I can be a bit photo shy, but she made us both feel so confident and at ease. We have so many favorite photos. She made even photos in the dark reception hall look incredible! Her skill with composition and lighting are amazing. We are so happy we worked with Liz and highly recommend her!

    Calm amidst the chaos

    Liz was the calm part of planning our destination Maine wedding throughout the rescheduling our 2020 wedding to 2021. She was flexible in the middle of a really stressful time. She was patient & kind and such a joy to work with. My husband is a paraplegic so finding accessible spots was challenging but she was more than willing to help us navigate. Our gallery was everything that I dreamed it would be & we are very grateful to have been able to work with Liz! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day!

    Liz helped capture our micro wedding forever

    We always wanted a small intimate wedding, so it was truly special to find a photographer who understood that sentiment. Liz not only had a small wedding herself, and thus best understands how to capture the intimacy of one, but also specifically specializes in photographing them. While we already had a good idea of the quality of Liz's work from a previous family photo session with a relative, the time she took to get to know us was much appreciated. Both before and during our wedding, Liz was thorough, professional, and eager to help make our day a perfect as we imagined. Simply put, she ensured that our day was stress free and that we will be able to cherish our wedding day forever as captured in her beautiful photos. While I can add photos to this review, as they were taken by Liz, I would simply urge you check out her website or facebook to experience it yourself!

    Great Experience with Liz!

    My husband and I got married last October 2021 in Wells and Ogunquit Maine. From our very first meeting with Liz, any anxiety we had was quickly put to rest. Her patience and expertise made working with her such a breeze. Her professionalism was second to none!! We had so many fabulous pictures to choose from, including great candid shots! We recently received our wedding album, and it is something we will always cherish and feel forever grateful to have worked with such a talented photographer and an even kinder person!

    All around amazing!

    Liz was the first vendor we hired for our microwedding (even before COVID arrived!). She was exactly what we were looking for as we planned to only have about 30 people at our wedding. She is super responsive, professional, and honest. We loved everything about working with her and are so happy that we hired her first! We HIGHLY recommend her to anyone, especially those having smaller, more intimate events. She was just so helpful with the entire process. She even hand delivered our amazing photo album and we couldn’t be happier! Thanks for everything Liz!

    Photographer who is like family

    Liz was an absolute delight to work with! She was a like a member of our family and made the process of picking a photographer very easy. My husband and I are in love with our photos and couldn't be happier with the experience. She is approachable, kind and professional.

    Highly recommend Liz!

    We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weddings photos and a better person to work with. Liz was so helpful and attentive from the start to finish. Since we were separated by states and during much of the pandemic we were not able to meet, she made it easy to communicate and discuss plans for photos via zoom. Generally I would find photo-taking to be a bit stressful at times, but Liz made photos for my husband and I very fun and relaxed. The photos came out great- I personally love the photography style as her photos are beautiful and bright. Liz is a really warm and down to earth person and I couldn’t be happier to have found her to shoot our photos!

    Exactly what we hoped for...

    We got an incredible gallery of photos. It was honestly exactly what we hoped for! The weather was very overcast, but Elizabeth used the light to her advantage and really made incredible photos out of a gloomy day! She also gave us great advice all along the way. We feel very fortunate to have found her and that she available on our wedding day! We highly recommend!

    Love her energy and organization!

    We are so thankful we had Liz as our photographer for our wedding out on Peaks Island. She was actually more than just our photographer, she provided us with general tips for our planning, such as a wedding day timeline, which we took and revised just a bit and made it our own. She was a voice of reason for us and provided great feedback on making the day our own. The communication via Zoom was great, she was able to understand what we wanted. The day of the ceremony we had no worriers that she wasn’t getting a picture we wanted, she helped us with the lead up to the ceremony to get all the getting ready and family shots done, then our couple shots, this freed us up to be with our friends and family after the ceremony. She was very organized and sent us sneak peak pics the next day, which was awesome to see some of her favs. The wedding book preparations were were as easy as they can be when you have 800 pictures to look at! We loved her energy and are so thankful for her being a part of our day!

    Wonderful Experience!

    Liz was an absolute pleasure to work with. She photographed our wedding a year ago (9/21/19) on Long Sands Beach in York, ME and then stayed with us for a portion of the reception, which we had in our back yard in Eliot ME. She was such a huge help in our planning process and such a calming and natural presence at the ceremony and reception. I was really anxious about the photography aspect of having a wedding, as I generally don't like having my picture taken or being the center of attention, and she made the entire process enjoyable. We are so pleased with the pictures, I look at them all the time. As we celebrated our first wedding anniversary I realized I had never written her a review, which is terrible because she is so wonderful!! I would highly recommend her to anyone, she was definitely perfect for us and I am still so grateful that she was part of our wedding day!!

    Excellent Experience!

    We met while we were both living in China so for our wedding we were bringing together friends and family from all around the world and it was really important to us to throw a really great party! After our first meeting with Liz, it was clear that she was on the same page and really understood what we were trying to do. She shared a similar approach for just good, fun, low-key weddings. From the first time we met Liz she got to know us really well. It was great to have developed a relationship so when she arrived at our wedding she didn't feel like a total stranger with a camera, we felt like we knew her already.

    Liz gave off a calm vibe before and during the wedding which really helped us through planning and on the day itself. For our couples portraits she just let things flow naturally and took beautiful, candid photos. She can really capture unique moments and that is what happened for us on our wedding day. All the moments we wanted to be there were there. We just love looking back through our photos.

    Wonderful experience- authentic and professional.

    Thank you for your talented work and dedication to capture this huge moment in my life and Simon's thus far! It was such a relief the day my mother found you online and convinced me to check out your portfolio and to reach out to you.... so happy I did because you captured it all and we are so happy with the photos of our big day. We knew on our wedding day the quality and authenticity of the photos we would get. Thank you so much!

    Elizabeth Ivy - More than we could have hoped for

    Liz is unbelievable. She spent time getting to know me and my wife personally prior to the wedding, studied the location and venue and understood what we were hoping for, and helped us feel at ease throughout the process. Oh, and the pictures she took turned out amazing. I can't give her enough stars.

    Destination wedding in Maine

    Living in Colorado and planning a wedding in Maine seems like it would be hard but Liz made it a breeze. Not only was she amazing to work with as a photographer but she also helped with anything thing else she could since she lived in the area. Her website and Facebook group are also very helpful for planning a small intimate wedding/elopement whether you are local to the area or not. I would highly recommend Liz!
