Elisha Orin Photography

nue! My husband and I highly recommend him as a videographer!!

had to ultimately make the very difficult decision to cancel our wedding, due to multiple consequences following the devastation of the Caribbean Islands left by hurricanes Irma and Maria. - The below are only a couple of examples of Elisha Orin’s extremely unprofessional email correspondence and lack of compassion. - While planning our wedding (before the hurricanes), Elisha reached out to me and asked us to CHANGE OUR WEDDING DATE, so that she could take another job in Thailand a couple days before our date. We found this extremely unprofessional of her, just to even ask me to change our wedding date, but told her we will not be changing our date. This was 3 months after we hired her and at this point, our planning was in full force and we had already sent out our Save The Date’s. I explaind this and told her we would like to keep her as our photographer. However, I ultimately left if up to her to decide if she was going to take the Thailand job and, if so, to let me know ASAP so that I could find a new photographer. She decided to stay on as the photographer of our wedding. After the hurricanes (and having to cancel our wedding) I emailed her asking to have some compassion for our situation and refund our deposit. She then proceeded to hold the fact that she was no longer able to accept the Thailand job against us, and named that one of the reasons she wouldn’t give us our deposit back. *Email response from Elisha: "I tried to see if i could book the thialand wedding that i had talked to you about previously but they have now moved on to another photographer. I cannot refund your money at this time." In response, I reminded her that in one of her initial emails, she had stated (regarding our deposit): "If there is something tragic I will consider giving it back as well. but we are not going to think about anything like that. hope this all helps”. In this same email I also wrote that in an attempt to move forward we are no longer having a wedding, therefore we couldn't give her a future date to put our deposit towards. To this, she responded that "Tragic is when someone dies like a parent or finance, sibling. you will still get married and i will apply this to your wedding. I will not refund your deposit.”, showing that: 1. she does NOT consider two major hurricanes destroying the Caribbean and affecting millions of lives as “tragic”(!!) and 2. she did not care to actually read what I wrote in my email about no longer having a wedding. We did not simply cancel her services due to a “change of plans". This was two extreme natural disasters forcing us to make an extremely difficult decision. Even though we eventually did decide to relocate our wedding, We definitely did not trust her to be our photographer and we simply had to cut our losses and move on. In retrospect, it is obvious that Elisha Orin cares much more about the money she makes off of her clients, than having compassion and working WITH her clients. Even though we lost our deposit, I am actually happy that in the end she was NOT our photographer. If I were you, I would think twice about hiring her for your special day.

hotographer. Not only does she do an amazing job at capturing a very important day, she is such also a kind/good person and helped to calm my nerves. It was such a blessing to work with a great person and a wonderful photographer. I will forever cherish these photos.

l of us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and took some very unique photos that I'm so excited to see! I loved working with her and her sweet almost maternal like loving nature. We got some amazing pictures on top of these giant rocks and as I came down I pulled my calf muscle. She took the time to massage it thoroughly and work out the tightness out of my calf. We had so much fun working with her and I would choose her again at thousand times over!!
