Elevate Photography

an. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calm, positive energy that instantly made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not only did she capture every special moment beautifully (and somehow made us look like models!), but she also made the entire day feel so fun and effortless. She was organized without ever feeling rushed, and her eye for detail is just unreal. She’s one of those people you instantly connect with — honestly, I wish I could be her friend in real life because she’s just that wonderful. I will cherish our photos forever (cant wait for them to all come back ) and am so grateful she was such a big part of our day. If you’re lucky enough to book her, do it. You will be obsessed, I promise. 💕📸

recommend her. We’ve gotten so many great compliments on our photos from the people who matter most! 

camera, but Kelsey made the entire process so easy and natural. She gave us clear direction while still making us feel like ourselves, and we honestly had so much fun during our photo sessions. And the photos… WOW. They came out so beautiful! She captured every emotion, every little detail, and all the special moments in the most stunning way. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also down-to-earth, professional, and just a joy to be around—Kelsey is your person!

wedding—and I can honestly say choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our day. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted our photos to feel real—full of expression and emotion, capturing the day exactly as it unfolded. Bethany delivered that and so much more. The photos are stunning, full of laughter, love, and those fleeting moments that mean the world. I’m an incredibly expressive person, and the images she captured of me, my husband, our families, and our guests radiate pure joy. I relive the happiness every time I look through them. Bethany was a calming and steady presence, even when things were running a bit behind. She made me feel beautiful, grounded, and never once added stress to the day. She worked so seamlessly in the background that many of the most magical shots were completely candid—captured in the moment without us even realizing it. It felt like having a trusted friend by our side, not just a vendor. Every part of our day was beautifully documented—from the venue details and ceremony, to the quiet in-between moments, to the fun wedding party shots. Bethany and Emily truly went above and beyond, and I can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for heartfelt, authentic wedding photography. They helped make the best day of our lives even more unforgettable.

verall was fantastic. Would highly recommend reaching out!

of our family photos done and saved more time for fun. I would highly recommend to any friends or family.

to find someone who offered engagement photos as part of a wedding package. We worked with Bethany Naes and she was incredible! Her communication was so clear, she made taking photos fun, directed use very well on what to do/how to pose, and our photos turned out phenomenal. She listened to what we wanted and provided her expertise in a way that we understood and were involved in the process. She's incredibly detail oriented and helped our day run SO smoothly.

interested in learning about us as a couple and it was a no brainer halfway through the call that she would be our photographer! The attention to detail related to our day of schedule was top notch! While we never met in person until our wedding day, it felt as if we had known her for a long time! She made everyone feel at ease and captured BEAUTIFUL photos of our big day! I could not recommend Bethany and Elevate more .

all the special moments! As people who are not entirely at ease in front of a camera (lol), Bethany made us feel so comfortable and made the whole experience so enjoyable! The hardest part now is selecting which photos from the day are our favorites... there are so many incredible ones to choose from!!

super easy to work with. She helped us feel more comfortable since we are not natural posers. Photography was the most important decision for us for our wedding, and no regrets, fully recommend!

nd are extremely responsive. I loved leaving our wedding and already having a preview of a few of our photos and feeling confident they will all turn out wonderfully. Couldn’t recommend them more!!!!

10 and we were SO impressed. She was incredibly sweet, funny, professional and brought so much ease to what can typically be a stressful (yet beautiful!) event. The wedding party and guests all raved about her and we felt so lucky to be matched up with someone so incredible. Brooke's communication and planning tips were top-notch and from the start it was obvious she truly wanted the best for my husband and I on our special day. Through all the chaos of the wedding, trying to corral people for pictures, Brooke and Paul stayed organized and kept the timeline right on track - all while making us laugh and smile along the way. One of my favorite parts of the wedding was the 4 of us hiking to beautiful areas within the venue. They knew exactly where to go to capture the most beautiful shots. True professionals! Elevate Photography should be EVERYONE'S go-to for weddings. My husband and I truly can't thank Brooke and Paul enough. The photos are STUNNING and the memories we have will be truly cherished forever. Thank you Brooke, Paul & Elevate! Heather & Keith

eel comfortable. All of our guests talked about how great she was, and everyone was included in the shots. We got our sneak peek back within a few days and they were breathtaking! Within a month, we got all of our pictures and she perfectly captured our day. We have so many great shots it will be hard to choose which ones to display! I could not have asked for a better photographer for our day.

r photos are beyond our wildest dreams and we are so thankful to have these amazing memories to keep forever.

had not mentioned. After just that one phone call, I knew she was the photographer I wanted, and I could not be happier that we found her! Bethany was so laid back and fun at our engagement shoot, she even won over my husband who absolutely hates having his photo taken. She was super communicative, and always positive, reassuring and calm/cool/collected. She listened to all of our requests and was patient and flexible with everything leading up to and on the day of, despite some chaos with family and weather. Elevate's pricing is super competitive (honestly, I was expecting to pay more for everything we got). They also include a slideshow during the wedding reception, which I have to admit I was hesitant about and actually considered asking them not to do, but am so glad I didn't! Countless guests commented on how amazing the slideshow was and how they'd never been to a wedding that had that before -- people got teared up. And it was so fun to take a couple minutes to pause and relive some of the moments from earlier in the day. We got both our engagement and wedding photos back within a month, and they are just superb. I ordered some prints from our engagement shoot from them already, and the quality is great. There are so many incredible shots from our wedding, I don't know how I'm going to choose prints or what to include in an album! Bethany and Nate were just amazing, and I cannot say enough about how pleased we are with having found and hired Elevate.

mmunication during all of our calls and she was always super responsive over email. Bethany helped us be ourselves on our big day and she captured amazing photos. We typically don't take a lot of photos but Bethany was the perfect person to make us feel comfortable and beautiful (and we were having fun the entire time when working with her!). We can't stop looking through all of the photos because we love them so much. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Thank you Elevate and Bethany!

ble way - with her talent and commitment to capturing moments that we will forever cherish. Brooke at Elevate Photography was our best choice in the wedding booking process!

ontinuously change the date, which often meant changing photographers. In the end, we had Bethany for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. Our photos are nothing short of flawless. She helped put us in classic poses, while letting us have fun and add our own personal touch. She caught candids beautifully, which was an extra challenge given one of the stars of the wedding was our very mobile and mercurial 2-year-old! Highly recommended, we would absolutely choose them again!

ry single beautiful moment ! We were so happy with the outcome, highlighting their beautiful photography and diligent work. Bethany was also outstanding in providing us with post-wedding support and created an absolutely wonderful slideshow for us. I had a chance to interact with James McCrory as well. A great person, extremely supportive, and accommodating to my requests! Brooke, Paul, Bethany and James are not only excellent in their craft, they are wonderful people as well. Kudos and congrats to the Elevate team for pulling off an amazing event that made our daughter's wedding extra special and with lifetime memories ! Thank you and warmest best wishes, Brete

best decisions we made for our wedding day. Most of the photographers that we screened were all business or educated us on their methods. Brooke took the time to learn about our story and our vision for our wedding day first! After meeting with her, we knew that we would end up working with them. We did our engagement photos with Brooke and loved how she captured the typical shots, but captured how we are naturally, and candidly. In the time leading up to the wedding, Brooke was so easy to work with. She created a timeline that met ALL of our needs and was quick to make adjustments to work with our wedding coordinator and other vendors. The way Elevate showed up for our wedding day was better than we could have imagined. Brooke and Bethany met all of our timeline deadlines and captured SO MANY shots. We were blown away by the photos post-production and editing. Brooke was so sharp in directing us and our bridal party through bridals, bridal party, and family photos. She was quick to work with what was happening naturally and capture those behind the scenes moments. Bethany was so creative in how she just dove in to get the shot. I told her about a shot that I had a dream about, she gave me a "lets do it", and now it's one of our favorite shots. Bethany was also so intentional about getting shots of guests, families, and group photos. Multiple times I saw her jump right in anytime someone pulled out a phone to take a professional photo during the cocktail hour. We knew the day of show was included in our package, but we didn't understand how spectacular and moving it would be. Brooke diligently worked during HER dinner hour to edit some shots from the day. We knew it would be a fast turn around and probably a bit stressful. Our guests got a "sneak peak" during dinner hour. And it did not disappoint. I (the bride) was brought to tears. Our guests were in tears. And Brooke received a well-deserved standing ovation after that 10 minutes slide show. Multiple guests approached me later in the evening and expressed their delight at the photographers efforts and the show. Many of them said they'd never seen anything like that at a wedding before. We also attended the premier party at Elevate's studio and just felt like everything came full circle. We loved the care that the team took for us as a couple, our guests, and our vision for the day. We're so grateful for Brooke, Bethany, and the entire Elevate team (post production you rock!). We will be recommending them indefinitely!

o figure out a schedule for the day to ensure we had enough time for all the photos we wanted. The day of the wedding, she made us feel so comfortable during photo session and was able to quickly adapt when we got a few light showers during photos! The pictures and editing were beautiful with classy, elegant shots. They also got great shots of our “best man first look” prank on the groom! The slideshow of photos on the day of the wedding was a hit, and really allowed guests to see behind the scenes on the day of the wedding. Overall, we were so happy with our experience and would highly recommend Bethany and Elevate to anyone looking for beautiful and professional wedding photography.

her personality is. And the photos turned out amazing! Brooke helped us with both our fall engagement shoot and spring wedding. Bethany was a great assistant the day of the wedding. The photos are so beautiful I’m struggling to figure out which ones to print! Elevate was more expensive than other photographers we were looking at, but it was worth every penny to have photos that will last a lifetime. We would give 10 stars if we could!

photos. So grateful to have our magical day captured. We spent as much time with our photographers as we did anyone else on our wedding day and Brooke and Bethany became part of our family that day! Can't say enough great things but I am confident you will be thrilled with the whole experience if you use them!

w that they put together for our reception was such a nice touch and our guests loved it. Definitely recommend these two!

n, it felt like we had always known her. She has a unique quality that makes everyone around her feel comfortable and happy. From the engagement shoot in the snowy mountains, to the wedding day at Crooked Willow, she was able to capture our love, our connection, and our joy in every photo. The day of the wedding, Katie, Bethany, and Emma were more than just our photographers, they were part of our family, They guided us through the day with ease and patience, and understanding of our expectations. We do not have words to describe how magical our wedding photos were, just stunning. My family and friends loved this team as well, they were amazing in every way. Thank you Katie from the bottom of our hearts for capturing this day so perfectly, you truly will be our friend for life.

os with both turning out truly amazing! Highly recommend Elevate Photography as they were easy to work with. You get to know your photographer on a personal level and vice versa which makes you feel very comfortable working with them.

what I wanted. We have heard nothing but rave reviews over our photos. Ryan was easy to communicate with, friendly and made sure we felt comfortable on our big day! Our package also included an engagement shoot which was awesome - big fan of him and this group! Could not recommend enough!!

n showed us was irreplaceable. He made our entire journey so fun and he captured our day wonderfully. We are so thrilled with our photos and feel so blessed to have these to look back on to relive our magical day! Thanks Elevate Team!

ze to shot with, as we aren't big photoshoot people. She was so easy going, personable, and very smart. Picking vendors who were extremely familiar with our venue (Arrowhead Golf Course) was super important to us as we wanted the most efficient team supporting us throughout the day. Brooke assisted me with making a great timeline for our day and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. She was so prompt, professional, and a ton of fun. Our bridal party & wedding goers raved about this Photography team!!!! We received sneak peeks within a week of our wedding and couldn't be more in love with them. Elevate Photography is truly a reason that our day moved along so flawlessly and we couldn't be more happy with our decision to hire them photographers and new friends for our wedding day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!!!

making everyone feel comfortable while also having fun in the process (even the most photo resistant people!). She is a true artist and has an intuitive eye for photo opportunities which results in absolutely stunning pictures. By the end of our wedding (and engagement session), Katie felt more like family than just our photographer! If you want to ensure your day is captured PERFECTLY, then look no further than Elevate Photography, because Katie is pure magic!

ch out to him to figure out what was going on because he was so on top of it. The pictures were even better!!! Our engagement photos were gorgeous and the wedding pictures were absolutely stunning. The way Ryan was able to talk to us and tell us what to do for poses made everything flow so nicely. He knew exactly what to do and you could tell he was a pro at this. If I could rate him/elevate a 10 I would!! Definitely would use them again.

le and captured some great candid shots as a result. Our dog was our ring bearer for the wedding and Ryan was so sweet with him and did an excellent job of getting his attention during pictures. Everything truly felt so effortless with them. My wife and I never felt like we needed to be checking up on them to ensure they were getting the pictures we wanted, they directed our wedding party and families around smoothly during group shots, and everything turned out beautiful. Plus, they were all just really great people to talk to and be around.

ce was great. As a photographer myself, I appreciated how smoothly the entire process went. Thank you to Elevate Team and Brooke especially for capturing our wedding!

all of the special moments from that day. It was a joy to work with Brooke. She was funny, easy going, professional and blended seamlessly into the events. It felt like having another friend at our wedding. We could not recommend her more!
