Developing Diamonds Photography LLC

no brainer for us, but we really wanted raw video so we could enjoy the day for the rest of our lives watching all the moments. Elliot sent over his list of services and we were able to do photo and raw video! He has a whole team, and he will send you some examples of work from different teams, so no matter the style you are looking for, you'll find it! We were super impressed by this, and grateful for the options! Michael and Luke were there for our special day, and they were also incredible! Their energy, professionalism, and kindness made our day even more special. We genuinely made the right moves hiring them! Their style and work were amazing, and a big thank you for your positive energy and excitement on our special day. Even though it was a rainy one, that did not dim their spirits. Thank you both for powering through the sprinkles to get the best shots for our day! I am big on doing lots of research, and taking my time (especially for my wedding!) and I am so thankful I went digging and found Developing Diamonds. If you are reading this and unsure, or in the midst doing your research, this is me telling you to go with Developing Diamonds! You won't regret it!! :) Again, a huge thank you to Elliot, Michael, and Luke!

process was easy and straightforward.  Our photographer, Angie, was great!  She was friendly and professional and very on top of getting all the shots we wanted.  We also appreciated how quickly we got some sneak peeks and then the whole album.  Highly recommend! 

and was always so helpful. He was so thoughtful throughout our whole day and made us feel great! He even gave us some sneak peek photos at dinner!! It was awesome and such a good decision to go with Elliot -- we'd highly recommend!!!

but he was stoked to go on the adventure with us. He got to our ceremony spot with time to spare and was able to capture us gathering our 5 witnesses and walking them to the ceremony spot. Our ceremony pictures are so emotional. Elliot has a gift for capturing the depth of emotion being felt. He got beautiful photos of us with our parents that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. After the ceremony, we hiked for THREE HOURS!!! in and out of the canyons at Starved Rock State Park. The photos we got can only be described as fuc*ing epic. There were two canyons in particular I wanted to have photos taken and we were able to do both and so much before, after, and in between. We also got an insanely gorgeous video shot with drone footage, that we used to announce our elopement to our family and friends. We also got our sneak peaks back so fast! He was really good at directing us, especially as a couple who has never taken professional photos together before. He just made the whole process, the entire day, so much fun. We genuinely had such a great time and they are memories that we will never forget! Elliot was on time, professional, friendly, an expert in his field, and he did an absolutely outstanding job at capturing the most magical day of our lives. I still cannot believe these are OUR wedding photos. Thank you for everything, Elliot!

out because of how much we loved his work. He is incredibly responsive to texts and emails which is so important when planning a wedding. He was very prepared for the wedding day! Elliot was able to make sure we stayed on schedule and even moved events around when needed to get the best photos possible since our wedding was outside. He went above and beyond to make our wedding run smoothly. By the end of the night, we didn't want it to end so we even extended his services by an hour which he happily made work. We even had sneak peeks by dinner time which surprised us. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. I am recommending him to all of my friends with weddings in the future. I can't imagine my wedding any other way. Thank you Elliot!
