Elise was hired for my brother's wedding for several hours which included prep, dinner, reception, and a photo shoot at the beach on another day. She arrived early for the dinner ...
to make sure she was set and ready to go! This also helped her get a few shots of us frantically prepping, which makes for great documentary photos! She took photos of EVERYONE and made sure to include some very candid shots of the couple with everyone too. All the photos were gorgeous! The next day after the dinner reception was the photo shoot at Halona Blowhole beach. At the end of dinner, Elise coached the couple to ensure they were ready for the beach photo shoot the next day, which was extremely helpful! But, the next day came and we had several wardrobe malfunctions like a missing tie, the wrong suit, and even a missing watch... all things Elise reminded us to bring. My brother did not feel comfortable without everything being perfect and Elise recommended to reschedule the photo shoot for another day. We very much appreciate that she was able to give us another time slot and understood the frustrations of the couple. When the second photo shoot came around, we were much more prepared and relaxed! The couple went on to shoot beautiful photos at three locations: Makapuu beach, a lookout at Makapuu, and Halona Blowhole. Elise made sure to get beautiful candid shots of them laughing, looking at each other, and building a story. If you want a photographer who is great at helping you relax while you take photos, Elise is the one for you.
Elise is warm and professional. She put us at ease from the start and was wonderful. Our wedding photos show candor and great moments. We are so thankful and highly recommend her!!...

autiful. She was prompt in response throughout the whole process, flexible in accommodating our wishes, and gave us the guidance we needed when it came to posing and getting our families to gather when needed. We were so pleased with her service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Found Elise here on TheKnot. I wanted a photographer who was engaging and was focused on documenting the raw emotions during our wedding (and of course some of the standard group p...
hotos that old school folks love). She was just a gem! She had so much attention to detail - taking photos of laughter, tears of joy and pure festivity. The quality of the photos were excellent and her professionalism was on point. Elise, we truly thank you for capturing the moments in one of the best day of our lives. I’m glad that you were a part of it!
Elise is absolutely fantastic. She has a beautiful personality. The moment we met her, we knew she was the right person. We had two sessions done with Elise, one was in the morning...
on a beach and the second session was in Moana Falls. The second shoot did not go as plan because it started to rain hard, I mean so hard her camera could not focus. Elise was so disappointed by the rain she asked us to repeat this shoot with her on another day. Not only did she deliver, she went above and beyond to help my husband and I get the perfect shoot. She didn't have to hike up the trail (carrying her gear for 30 minutes plus )the second time to complete this shoot. She could have given up but she didn't. Elise love her work and she is so dedicated. Much love from Canada

Elise,
We wanted to thank you for all of your hard work at the wedding. Several guests commented on how you seemed to be everywhere, getting every possible picture, but somehow...
also managed to be unobtrusive. Bill and I both thought that though we would see you there getting pictures you managed to do it in a way that never interfered with the ceremony, or the fun.
I also wanted to let you know that I enjoyed spending time with you especially in the time when you were with me and my bridesmaids, by the end of that time I thought of you almost as guests at our wedding, not as just photographers. It was a true pleasure having you around.
I know after having the chance to work with you that I made the best possible choice for a photographer. I look forward to having you there for the next big event in our lives.
Thank you so, so much for everything."

Elise photographed our wedding in Louisiana 2010. She is truly the best! I felt relaxed and care free on my big day and it's all thanks to her. She is such a pleasure to work with ...
and you can tell she is very dedicated to her job by making sure you are very happy with your photos. She captures the best candid moments and tells your story with her photos. My husband and I love showing everyone our album and we have received several compliments on both how gorgeous our album is and on the attention to detail in each photo. You should definitely book her; you will not be disappointed!
