Eli was one of the best choices we made when planning our wedding. The photographs he delivered blew us away.
It was such an incredible joy to be able to look back on such a wonde...
rful day and actually have the photos that captured the excitement of everything so beautifully. The range of their photography is incredible. We had quiet moments getting ready and timeless bridal shots. We had candids during the emotional ceremony and efficient and fun family shots after the ceremony. We had tender first dances and then wild party shots later in the evening! And the golden hour photos! They delivered it all!
Eli and his team were also such a positive force on the day of the wedding. I had multiple people ask me how long we'd been friends. They were so friendly and worked so hard to make everyone feel at ease that we truly felt like we were just hanging out with good, old friends who also happen to be wildly talented. Looking back on it, we realize they must have been working constantly to keep up with everything and yet, they didn't even seem to break a sweat - just adapted to everything seamlessly.
Eli, his team, the photographs and the direction they gave us was everything we could have hoped for. The photos we received are the types of photos that get passed down and cherished for generations.
Thank you for everything, Eli!
Eli is an excellent and very creative photographer. His calm nature and relaxed vibe kept everyone at ease. He made excellent and very gentle suggestions that made our photographs ...
unique and beautiful. We continue to receive compliments on them! We will use Eli for any photography needs we have in the future. Thanks for everything you did to make our experience special.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Eli and we really hit it off. Easy to talk to, Eli explained his entire process and worked very well with others. Everyone remarked on how profes...
sional and awesome the photographer was. Eli was also very reasonably priced. Anyone who even mentions a camera gets an earful about my new found crush, Eli.
We had the pleasure of working with Eli for my wife and I's engagement pictures. He was incredible to work with. His directions were perfect and he made the entire process natural ...
and stress-free. He helped with choosing locations and gave us plenty of simple directions while still making the process fun and easygoing. He was also extremely creative and gave us many shots that we would have never come up with ourselves. The result were amazing; we can't stop looking at our engagement photos and they are currently posted all over our apartment. We also received our pictures much more quickly than what we expected. We would choose Eli again and again for any photography needs - his service, friendliness, and end results made the entire experience a joy! Thank you Eli!!
Working with Eli was such a special experience. We had a very specific vision for our photography style and Eli worked with us before our wedding, talking with us on the phone and ...
even took the time to meet us at our venue to scout out the location weeks before. Not only did he meet all our expectations but also he went above and beyond. His expertise and professionalism made our experience care free and easy. He is passionate about his craft and genuinely cares about the couple he is working with. He is nice and outgoing, which made the process extremely easy and what we think made all the difference to making our dream vision come true! When we look back at our photos, we are able to relive every moment of that special day!
Eli was absolutely amazing! He was the perfect fit for our wedding day. He was organized, on time and even had an assistant helping with each part. Every photo we got back looked a...
mazing. He did such a nice job with each part of the day! He also was super understanding about timing and Were still able to dance and eat, it did not feel like we were just doing pictures all night! We are so happy we chose Eli for our big day!
We wish we could give more than 5 stars! Eli is the best! His passion, enthusiasm and absolutely stunning photos made the decision a simple one. He photographed our engagements, we...
dding ceremony and reception. He was on time, professional, very kind and listened to every detail we mentioned that were important to us. It has been almost 2 years since our wedding, and everyone still comments on how amazing the engagement and wedding photos are. We can't recommend him highly enough!
Eli was amazing to work with. He has an innate ability to just melt your nerves away and make you feel so comfortable. He's so attentive and strives so hard to cater to your needs....
I love how Eli is collaborative and I didn't feel so removed from the process. He listens to ideas and elevates them to a whole new level. He's a committed, intentional, energetic photographer with a sharp eye for whimsy and beauty. The man is an expert. The best thing about Eli is that he cares, he genuinely cares about his work and who he's serving at the moment. Don't be surprised when you leave the shoot with Eli being your new friend! His personality and aura is just that infectious and inviting. You'll find yourself making Eli your permanent photographer for each stage of life you go through!
I can't recommend Eli Defaria from Defaria Photography enough! Eli was referred to me by a friend, and I was lucky enough to have him photograph my wedding day.
Upon our first ...
meeting, Eli not only offered options of services and examples of his work, but genuinely wanted to know our story, which I believe was reflected in his photography.
On the big day, he exuded a peaceful confidence that put us at ease. While capturing our First Look, his calm and relaxed presence allowed us to truly enjoy the moment. Throughout the night, he seamlessly photographed both the formal and impromptu moments that make a wedding so special.
Our photographs were taken with a combination of digital and film. They are beautifully soft and romantic with incredible lighting, and are now a treasured keepsake.
Five stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Eli was an absolute dream to work with for our engagement and wedding photos. He truly has such great vision and knows how to make you feel at ease and comfortable which really mak...
es for amazing photos! I love that he captured a good mix of both candid and formal photos and also did such a good job capturing all the little details that we worked hard planning to bring together for our wedding day! Even though the weather was terrible with plenty of clouds and intermittent showers the film photos paired with his editing truly made for some romantic and beautiful shots! I was so worried about my photos coming out dark and dreary but they were absolutely amazing and straight out of a fairy tale. I honestly am so happy I picked Eli for our wedding photos and I’m sure I’ll be using him again for any special event in the future!
The beauty and perfection of Eli De Faria’s work speaks for itself. Although I don’t know all the correct technical photography language, I do know that his work masterfully captur...
es the mood, the memory and the moment - and that alone is priceless. You know excellence when you spot it, and every photo in your collection is certain to embody photographic excellence. However, my rating encompasses far more than the technical perfection of his work. It extends to the personal touch that Eli brings to every shoot, leaving you at ease, removing the tendency to rigidly pose for the next photo, and allowing you to feel like you are his most important client. Five stars!
We are thrilled with Eli's work for our engagement shoot. His romantic and intimate photography style stood out to us as we were researching photographers. Although he's located in...
Rhode Island, he graciously made the trek to central Massachusetts for the session. We aren't used to being photographed, but Eli quickly got to work, giving us direction and exploring the space we had picked for the photos. We would highly recommend Eli to anyone looking for a timeless and romantic style of photography and cannot wait for him to photograph our wedding in 2019!
