Elyse was great right from the jump. Our very first call she made us feel at ease and we felt a connection with her. She was so easy to work with and really captured the essence of our perfect day. She was such a trooper while we dragged her across town to get our special river sunset shots AND was so graceful when my husband accidentally SOAKED her from head to toe with champagne to get the fun celebratory shot. The shot came out beautifully btw, but poor Elyse was drenched. She handled it like a champ though. Shows her dedication to get “the shot.”
Elyse went above and beyond for us, driving 3 hours each way from her home to the remote town we got married and sent us an absolute treasure of a gift afterwards. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our Montana getaway wedding and were so lucky to have had her join our perfect day!

Elyse was amazing! From the first conversation to the very end of our wedding day she was organized, professional, and fun! We appreciated her attention to details, her creativity,...
and natural energy. She also helped us feel natural and comfortable. We had our wedding indoors but did photos outdoors in November. With the Montana fall days getting shorter and weather always up in the air, Elyse had back up plans and different ideas in case of bad weather. She was very good at coordinating with the different groups of people and families. We were lucky and had gorgeous fall sun in the late afternoon! The final delivery of photos were quick and smooth and we loved getting the sneak peak earlier. We would definitely recommend Elyse for your big day or special occasion!

rom someone who gets awkward every time they get in front of a camera). We are so glad we went with the extended package, as her second shooter was so great as well, and captured some amazing moments for my fiancé's getting ready. We didn't have a wedding planner and Elyse was also a HUGE part of our big day going smoothly and on-schedule (I envy her organizational skills)! She was so great to work with and is amazing at making people feel at ease. All of the photos exceeded our expectations, and we now have such a great keepsake to remember our wedding for years to come!

I'm so happy we decided to do family pictures with Elyse Marie Photography. She managed to get some amazing shots despite our two year old not being very cooperative that evening. ...
She has such a great eye, was so relaxed and easy to work with, and the final product was so beautiful. 10/10 would recommend.

Elyse was lovely! She did a couples' photoshoot for my husband and I, and made us feel so at-ease. Neither of us model or spend much time in front of a camera, so it was so nice ha...
ving a photographer with a vision, and someone who provides prompts. Our photos turned out beautiful, and the whole process was so fun and easy. She also had our edited photos back within 2-3 days, and a sneak peek within a few hours. I've never seen a turnaround time like that, I was very impressed. I highly recommend Elyse, if you're looking to capture some memories.
