Almond Leaf Studios

ously awaiting the rest! She gives a timeline of 6-8 weeks turn around for the whole album and we are right at 7 weeks now, so hopefully we will get to see the rest of her lovely work this week! But what we have seen so far, has been stunning!!! What I love most is that she does a "light and airy" style of photography, which is kind of hard to find right now because most people are interested in the "dark and moody" style. I looked for quite some time for a light and airy style photographer because I didn't like the thought of putting a dark cast on our wedding photos. Elizabeth had photographed at our venue before so she was able to give good recommendations as to where there was the best lighting most of the time. Leading up to the big day, Elizabeth was flexible with meeting me on zoom after my normal work hours in the evening time. She was professional and helpful with coming up with a schedule of photo ops for the day. She and her assistant worked very well together on the day of and made things run smoothly from a photography stand point. Thank you Almond Leaf for everything!

married. She’s the best!

lly edited. We also fell in love with the lighting in these photos, which was just stunning in each shot. Once we met with them (virtually) we needed about 20 seconds to decide whether we wanted them to be our photography and cinema team!! Elizabeth and David have such a radiant energy that was not intimidating at all. Almond Leaf went above and beyond with everything. My husband and I were living in Scotland while planning our wedding and Almond Leaf still sent us a beautiful bouquet of flowers before the wedding! They responded to emails quickly and met with us before the big day to double check the timeline and all photo requests. Cannot emphasize enough how lucky we were to have David and Elizabeth around the day of our wedding. My husband and I are not great at posing and being in front of a camera, but Elizabeth knew exactly how to position us and where to find the best lighting. They made us laugh and eased our nerves before the ceremony. In addition, they made sure we got all the photos we wanted. There was also a second photographer who was unbelievably kind and professional. Speaking as the bride--The Almond Leaf team made me feel absolutely beautiful on the day and they were just full of compliments, which was the confidence boost I needed considering the anxiety that can come before the ceremony. AND my husband and I never had to worry about time with them--they were always on top of it and made sure we got to where we needed to be. We were given some sneak peeks the day after the wedding and they are STUNNING. My husband and I know that we will cherish these photos and our wedding video for the rest of our lives so we feel incredibly lucky that the memories of our wedding day were captured so beautifully. We love Almond Leaf!!

. She went above and beyond to capture all the special moments of our wedding and reception. She knows how to find and capture the most flattering angles and you can feel the moments come back to life through her photos. Her positive, kind, and energetic attitude made everyone involved feel so comfortable and at ease while taking the photos. She was highly efficient and organized so I could relax and enjoy my wedding knowing that she would capture all the details and special moments! From first booking her to receiving our final photos, working with Elizabeth was easy and fun. I cannot recommend her enough - she and her whole team are amazing!!

ted to see the footage from our wedding. If you're still vendor searching, Almond Leaf is the way to go!!

great job they did. You will not be disappointed at all with these guys. They truly are both artists and professionals, they excel at what they do and they are a joy to work with. Elizabeth's pictures were dreamy, romantic, classic, timeless, professional, artistic and oh so beautiful. Exactly what I was looking for and so much more. What made them a joy to work with was what a vibrant energy they brought to our wedding - they were in the moment with us, they were oohing and ahhing over the wedding day details right along with us - I could tell they were honestly happy and buzzing with excitement to be doing what they love to do. Elizabeth drafted an entire almost minute-by-minute play book for the day of the wedding and walked us through the entire thing on the day of. I was SO incredibly nervous on the actual day - you would think I never had my picture taken before in my life - but they were calm, sweet, and lighthearted and knew how to direct me through the motions to get the shot they needed. Our video that David made was amazing. It is nothing short of magical watching your day come to life on film. We were so thrilled with David's work... it was a video made by someone we hardly knew but he was able to tell a story that captured our personalities, our love for one another and the overall feeling of the wedding so well. I think the thing I loved most about David is that he is an amazing storyteller. I watched a lot of his videos before our wedding and the one thing that really sold me is that no two videos of his were alike. He does not create copy and paste videos. He really has a gift for capturing and translating the unique story of your wedding to film - the energy, the look, the emotions, the feelings, the love you have for one another - everything that made your wedding personal, beautiful and unique. My husband, who was wincing with pain at the extra cost of having a videographer finally conceded that David's video actually turned out to be his absolute favorite memento of the entire wedding and thank goodness I insisted on hiring him. We just LOVED everything about David and Elizabeth. If you are able to book them, I would recommend them whole heartedly.

our photos, we got very few that we were pleased with.

ple weeks.

ool to choose from in North Carolina would be overwhelming. However, the first time I spoke with Elizabeth on the phone, I was immediately at ease. She described her work style and aesthetic in a comfortable and confident way. She showed great interest in what we felt was most important to us on our big day. Also, one of the appealing things about Almond Leaf was that their business model has a wonderful philanthropic element, which a portion of the profits from our booking went to others in need. Like I said - lovely. people. Elizabeth's flexibility in arranging our engagement session, and even rescheduling due to a major rainstorm, was something we greatly appreciated. Elizabeth’s second shooter at the wedding was her awesome husband, David. Most importantly, their presence the weekend of our wedding went beyond photography. They were respectful of space, but also were willing to take risks to get incredible shots for us. I’m pretty sure David climbed a tree at one point! Elizabeth was efficient in getting through a large number of family pictures. We had a tight timeline and they kept the mood light, as wedding day tensions can be high. The email and phone correspondence was always quick. The booking process and payment process was incredibly easy and done via their website. We received our engagement pictures in a very timely fashion. The images of the wedding they have sent us so far have been stunning and we cannot wait to see the rest! If you are looking for a talented, kind, fun and professional wedding photographer, and for beautiful images you will hold dear for the rest of your lives, we could not recommend Almond Leaf Studios more! Book them. Book them. Book them.

ut the entire process. Elizabeth was very professional and clearly concerned about what my husband and I wanted out of our wedding photographs. She was so easy to work with and delivered a beautiful product. We were so pleased with our wedding photos and look forward to using Almond Leaf Studios again for our photography needs in the future!

edding party goofing around, the Bride's father taking the Bride for a ride in a golf cart! She exceeds traditional expectations for a wedding photographer. Expect amazing photos and professional service. She's a load of fun to have around!

on Elizabeth was flexible to fly up to NYC to capture our lives in the city and on the day of they were everywhere capturing every moment of our big day at the Biltmore. I would highly recommend using them for every aspect of your wedding. We have become such raving fans that we plan on using ALS for all of our professional photography needs. Not only are they amazing photographers, but they are incredible people to and we are blessed to have met them.

due to so many recommendations by different individuals. Style, price and a great personality were 3 factors I kept in mind while searching around. I loved the fact that 10% of all profit goes toward the non-profit, Silent Images, that Elizabeth is a part of. She really has a passion for what she does and it shows in her work. She is super sweet and really took the time to get to know my husband and I so that our wedding photos would reflect us and our love for each other. My bridal photo shoot with her was the most fun! We traveled to so many locations in the heat, and she was prepared the whole way and my photos came out great! Everyone compliments them and wants to know who did them. She even sent us a little gift a few weeks before the wedding so that my husband and I could take a night out to relax amongst all the craziness. You really can't find anyone better and I look forward to doing more with her in the future!

our personalities in fabulous ways, and it was a true joy just to have her around throughout the day. I'm so happy with the beautiful memories Elizabeth caught in all the images from all the little details to the faces of our friends and family. Everyone has been very impressed with the pictures. I would highly recommend Almond Leaf Studios (and look forward to using them again for future family photo shoots)!

hoot with the groomsmen! She has an amazing ability to put as at ease, and make the pictures look unbelievable, even when we still felt a bit uncomfortable being in front of the camera! I've never looked better than in the pictures she took. Her attention to detail makes her work stand above the rest. Plus, she was very flexible and willing to flex her package pricing to fit what I wanted. Loved her and will work with her again in the future!

and fun - even with 7 adults and 4 energetic kids. Which was a huge improvement over previous portrait sessions we have done. She kept everything going smoothly and the end results were wonderful. We were very happy with Elizabeth and the resulting photographs and would highly recommend her to anyone.
