One of the best decisions we could have made during the entire wedding planning process was booking Elsie. Not only did our pictures turn out beautifully - but she was patient and ...
incredibly easy to work with. She made everyone feel very comfortable and was very professional. We love our engagement and wedding photos so much! I seriously cannot recommend her enough!
Elsie went above and beyond to make our wedding photos gorgeous and her service top notch. From the first day we sat down with Elsie she made us feel special with lovely gifts alon...
g the way, a kind, laid back attitude, and outstanding, professional work. I cannot recommend her enough!
Elsie made it so easy for us! We got married last February. She met with me, went over her process, we talked thru different ideas, we figured out venues, set the date and she ra...
n with it! It was such a relax photo shoot that really captured the real us! I highly recommend Elsie Jo! To top it off, she was organized and was able to less the crazy large "massner family" thru the family pictures š. She is relaxed, professional & so easy to work with! I highly recommend this talented photographer! Our photos turned out great, as well as the wedding / engagement book I had her custom design for us!
Elsie photographed my daughters wedding in July 2016. Since it was my first child to get married I relied on Elsie for tips and ideas for pictures. Boy oh boy did she deliver! S...
he had some fantastic ideas, and we loved them all!
It was a BLAZING hot day, and Elsie and Savannah didn't dilly in getting the pictures done. The bridal party was extremely grateful that Elsie had ideas beforehand and they could be quickly set up, and then head back to the air conditioned church! :) She also did great with the children that were in the wedding.
I really appreciate Elsie's enthusiasm and work ethic, she was a joy to work with. All of the wedding pictures were so beautiful! I'm glad we decided to use Elsie!
My husband and I knew from the moment we got engaged who we wanted to take our photos, both engagement and wedding. Elsie was at the top of our list for several reasons. We had kno...
wn her for quite awhile and felt very comfortable. I wouldn't say we're a very affectionate couple in public, but we didn't have a problem acting natural and intimate around Elsie. She captured so many moments in that beautiful area between staged and personal, and it is only because she made us feel so at home at each moment!
Second, I have always loved her editing style. As other reviewers have stated, so many photographers today can make a mediocre picture look better with extreme editing. Elsie doesn't have to. Her photos are stunning with just a few touch ups. My rural farm wedding looked perfect in the beautiful sunset touches she put on my photos.
Elsie is definitely a rising talent in Central Illinois. She's young, which gives her a fresh take on the wedding biz and without the drama and overpriced attitude of many more established photographers. She's constantly researching new methods, new poses, and new products. Her wedding packages are a really great value. I especially loved the photo album she made of our wedding. I honestly didn't plan on ordering one at first, but once I saw how well put together and the quality of the materials, I was sold! She's definitely willing to work any ideas for shoots, locations, etc into your photos, or do all of the work herself and pick out amazing locations, props, and poses! Give Elsie a call. You won't find a more caring and dedicated photographer in Central IL!
I was so thankful and blessed to be able to have Signature photos do my wedding and engagement pictures. The photographer captured so many special moments in my big day, whether it...
was a small or big detail that some photographers may overlook. Not only did the pictures turn out amazing, she was so much fun to work with and very prompt on her time management which was such a relief because not once did I stress about getting everything done!
She does a great job editing her photos by maintaining the natural look which is one of my favorite things about working with Signature photos...some photographers do too much editing making the couple look almost painted on and somewhat fake looking which was one of my biggest concerns when choosing a photographer.
Overall I am extremely pleased to have had Signature photos do my special day and would strongly recommend any future bride choosing her as well! You won't regret it!
Elsie from Signature Photos did my wedding pictures last December. She did an amazing job at capturing all the little details as well as the big ones. Her and her team were amazing...
to work with. Elsie is so laid back, bubbly, and energetic!! She is so awesome to work with. I would recommend her and her team to anyone!! Actually Elise and her team are doing my brotherās wedding this coming November, and I canāt wait to see you work in action again. Thank you so much Elsie for capturing our very special day!!
Our experience was awesome with Elsie and Signature Photos! Even though our engagement and wedding photos were in the winter she was very ready to face the cold and snow to captur...
e us! She listened very well to what we wanted, but still gave suggestions on poses. I was very impressed with her skills at editing also; very natural. We also received our pictures in a very timely manner. I don't remember the specific time frame now, but it was less than a month after our wedding that we received the adorably wrapped package. Photography is a hobby of mine so I tend to be picky, but I have no complaints on our experience with Signature Photos!
My wedding was this past June (2014). I am SO thankful that I chose Signature Photos to capture my special day! A week or so before my wedding she went out to the location where I...
had suggested taking pictures and chose how she wanted to set up different shots and even found some new places for us! From the minute Elsie arrived until my husband and I drove away, she was enthusiastic and smiling. She was willing to come very early in the morning to get pictures of both the bridesmaids and groomsmen getting ready. When she wasn't taking pictures of the preparation, she took pictures of all the fine details from our rings, to the flowers, the dresses, ties, everything. She stayed the whole day, capturing memory after memory for me! We also had a very large wedding party and she handled it like a champ. I am so impressed with the way everyone was looking and smiling and how she could get such amazing shots. In addition to all of that, she is more than willing to try out any fun, crazy, or Pinterest-y shots that us brides think will just be perfect! :)
The biggest brag I can give Elsie and Signature Photos from my day, is the way she handled family pictures. My husband has a large family--he has 3 older siblings, all married, and they combine for 9 children, ages 2-12. Elsie handled them wonderfully. I have never seen them cooperate the way they did for her! She also did fantastic with my niece who was only 6 months old! Another thing that meant the world to me and my family on my wedding day was that she not only took family pictures that included my husband and I, but she took family pictures for my husbands siblings as well so that they could have updated family pictures with their ever-growing children.
Overall, Elsie's sweet, bubbly personality makes her so easy to work with and so easy to open up to her about what you are looking for in your pictures. She is dedicated to giving her absolute best to make YOUR day perfect. (even if it does involve 10 screaming, crazy children, and a 7 AM start!) I plan on using Elsie and Signature Photos in the future when I need professional pictures and I cannot thank her enough for capturing my day in pictures!
