We truly couldn’t be happier with our experience with Elaine and Leandro! From the very beginning, they were so kind, professional, and easy to work with. They made us feel complet...
ely comfortable in front of the camera and captured our day so naturally.
Our photos and video are absolutely incredible. Every time we look through our gallery or watch our wedding film, we get to relive all of the emotions and little moments that made our day so special. They perfectly captured not only the big moments but also the candid details that we would have otherwise missed.
On our wedding day, Elaine and Leandro worked seamlessly together and made everything feel effortless. Their calm, organized, and fun personalities helped us stay relaxed and truly enjoy every moment.
We are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories they’ve given us and couldn’t recommend them more highly. If you’re looking for a photography and videography team that is incredibly talented, professional, and genuinely cares about their couples, Elaine and Leandro are the absolute best. Thank you both for giving us memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives!
We cannot say enough good things about Elaine and Leo. They exceeded our expectations over and over again. From our initial meeting, to our engagement shoot, to the wedding day, El...
aine and Leo were so organized, professional, and overall just so excited for us. Not only are they great photographers and videographers, they're great people. Highly recommend!!!
Working with Elaine, Leandro, and their team was truly amazing—they are some of the kindest, most genuine people. We feel so lucky to have chosen them to capture such a special day...
in our lives. We are absolutely in awe of how our photos and video turned out. Their attention to detail and dedication are evident in every single moment they captured.
Working with Elaine was a delight. Her photos were a dream. We are so happy we had her and her team capture our special day. She truly made it unforgettable.
Elaine and Leandro were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From our initial consult, we knew they were the perfect fit. We wanted a photographer/videographer who could...
capture candids as well as raw and authentic pics/videos and that’s exactly what we got back! Their attention to detail is everything and they are the sweetest photographer + videographer duo! We couldn’t recommend Elaine and Leandro enough! They were a huge part of our day and ensured we got all of our “must have shots.” Truly grateful for this team exceeding our expectations!! 🤍🤍
Elaine and Leandro were so amazing to work with!! We used them for our wedding videography and they went above and beyond to deliver what we were looking for! The highlight film wa...
s beautiful (and made me cry as requested) and all of the raw footage was beautiful as well! We're so happy to have chosen them as our wedding videographers! :)
I cannot recommend Emerlin Photo & Films enough! We booked Elaine and Leo for our September 2025 wedding, and from the moment we started working with them we knew we had made the r...
ight choice. They were an absolute dream to work with—kind, creative, supportive, the list goes on. They put so much care and detail into nailing our vision and made sure *everything* was perfect going into the big day. On our wedding day, they directed us seamlessly. And the supporting videographers and photographer they brought along were also fabulous. We received our photos as soon as they said we would and our video arrived much sooner than expected. Elaine also pulled select photos for me that I requested for an instagram feature only weeks after my wedding. Both photos and the video FAR exceeded our expectations. We will cherish them forever and feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Emerlin. Thank you Elaine and Leo!!
Emerlin Photo & Film exceeded every expectation we had and was truly everything we could have hoped for in a photography and videography team. From start to finish, they were profe...
ssional, attentive, and incredibly talented. Their ability to capture not only the big moments but also the subtle, meaningful details of the day is truly rare. They took the time to understand our vision and ensured that everything we wanted was thoughtfully documented. Beyond their technical skill, they were a calming and supportive presence throughout the day, helping everything run smoothly and exactly as we envisioned. We are so grateful for their dedication and artistry and would highly recommend Emerlin Photo & Film to anyone looking for an exceptional team to preserve their most important moments.
Elaine and team are amazing! Our wedding day was truly picture perfect and the photos Emerlin captured reflect that! The images truly exceeded our expectations and really embody th...
e complete joy that filled our day. Elaine was prompt, kind, and made our wedding day timeline seamless!
I cannot even put into words what talent they have. Emerlin was my videographer for our wedding day and needless to say we were crying at how amazing the video was. The entire proc...
ess was seamless from the beginning and we couldn’t have been any happier with them. If you’re looking for a videographer this is your sign !!
Booking Emerlin Photo & Films for our wedding was an amazing decision! Leo was our videographer and worked so well with our photographer Nelson Santos, as they work often. Leo was ...
punctual, kind and even stayed later than scheduled to ensure all was captured. Our videos were delivered within the timeframe discussed and brought us to tears!! SO many people have commented on our wedding highlight and how the quality and editing of the audio was incredible. We are so fortunate to have our wedding video to cherish forever!
Elaine and her assistant, Lucas, were an absolute dream to work with as our wedding photographers. From the moment we booked Elaine, she maintained excellent communication, ensurin...
g we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Her talent truly shines through in every photo, capturing the essence and joy of our special day perfectly. We couldn't be happier with the results and are so grateful for her professionalism and dedication. Thank you, Elaine, for giving us memories we will cherish forever!
They are absolute FANTASTIC! We couldn’t have been happier with the quality of our video and the seamless transitions - from clips of our speeches to the quiet moments of the day. ...
Leo was so attentive to learning more about us and assuring he incorporated pieces of us into every detail. The video exemplified true art, talent, and skill and I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Working in the wedding industry, you would think that I would have had a ton of photographers and videographers lined up that I wanted to use for my own wedding. A friend of mine t...
old me about Elaine and Leo, and right at first glance of their work I was truly blown away and I knew their style was exactly what I was looking for. As a husband and wife duo, you really can’t get any better than this. They were always followng up with me throughout the planning process, and during our final meeting even wanted to know about how my husband and I met, how are families were and truly seemed like they cared about us and our day. It honestly shows in their work how much they put into what they do. Everyone talked about how easy going they were and how incredible the pictures turned out (and they have only seen a sneak peak)! My pictures and video are stunning, and my husband and I cant stop watching the video and looking at the pictures to re-live our day over and over again. A truly fantastic team to work with. Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives.
We highly recommend Emerlin Photo & Films! From our very first meeting, Elaine and Leo were so kind and excited for us! They were always very prompt and professional in all communi...
cation. The questionnaires that Elaine sent throughout the wedding planning process came in clutch. On the wedding day, Elaine, Leo, and the team came and right away got to work and were very organized! They were able to handle all of the little bumps we had throughout the day, and were such a highlight of our day. We got our sneak peeks about a week after the wedding and they were truly magical; Elaine truly was able to capture some of our most precious moments, and we can’t wait to see everything delivered! (R&E, 06Jul24)
We seriously hit the jackpot finding Elaine & Leandro to do our wedding photos and video! They're a husband/ wife duo that truly work so well together. They are not only the kindes...
t, sweetest people but they're work is amazing. It was such a pleasure working with them from start to finish and they really listened to our vision of what we wanted and didn't want. They really helped make our wedding so special with all their hard work!
Emerlin is a husband (Leandro) and wife (Elaine) team and to me, the best in the business. Elaine is truly SO talented and her work is beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen such ...
gorgeous photos and video before. I met with about 5 different photographers and felt an instant connection with Elaine and Leandro and to me, that is SO important. If you don't feel a connection with your photographer and don't feel comfortable, it will show in your photos. Leandro does all of their video and he also has a true skill at this craft! I only had photography services through them, but it was worth every single penny! Elaine and her team are very detail oriented and check in with you throughout the wedding planning process. They send you questionnaires to get to know you and your partner and help you form your vision for your big day! Elaine also did our engagement photo session and she was awesome. On the big day, Elaine and her second photographer helped me not feel stressed and they were very patient, kind, and understanding when we were behind schedule. They are true professionals! They Elaine sent me 100 sneak peek photos of our wedding, just 4 days after the big day! They were all incredible and I can't wait to see the rest of our gallery! You will not regret booking Emerlin!
My husband and I chose Emerlin because of their clear ability to capture raw emotions and moments in their videos. This was apparently from the minute we began looking on their Ins...
tagram account and we knew we had to have them film our special day. Wedding planning with vendors is always tricky because you don’t usually hear much until very close to your big day when everything is a little crazy. Emerlin gave us the hype we needed every step along the way and ensured an extremely personal experience. Their survey beforehand gave us the peace of mind that they were looking to capture what was most important to us and include that in their video. I would definitely recommend getting the one minute video for social media because it gave us our first bit of excitement getting to watch our day back just a few days after the wedding. Elaine and Leandro’s personal touches and overall experience made them the perfect addition to our special day!
A literal dream vendor. I booked them nearly 2 years out from my wedding and they were the ONLY ones who reached out over that time, asked if we needed help, even just checking in ...
to say how are you doing? It meant so much. Our video is just perfect I have zero complaints. By far my favorite vendor of all!
I wish I could give 10 stars because I absolutely loved my experience. Elaine and her team were responsive, professional, and trustworthy. I love my engagement pictures , weddin...
g photos and video. I would definitely recommend booking with Emerlin. The team captured my wedding perfectly and I am so happy I booked with them.
Elaine and Leo are unbelievable. I loved them from our first video chat. I decided I didn’t want a first look, and this was the first photographer I spoke to that actually listened...
and didn’t challenge me on it! Elaine was amazing during our engagement session and we loved those photos so much we couldn’t wait to see how our wedding ones would come out. Not even 3 days after the wedding she sent me a sneak preview of 130 shots. They are both super quick to answer any questions you have, send tons of emails leading up to your big day, and truly care to get to know you and your partner. 8 more weeks until we get the rest of the photos and videos but judging by our sneak peak.. I am sure we are going to be blown away. Highly recommend these guys.. you will fall in love with all of their work
Emerlin Photography & Films were amazing. To start, Leo and Elaine are wonderful. We received the early release of about a dozen or so photos and a quick teaser trailer for the vi...
deo and we were blown away with the warmth of the pictures and the moments they captured. The candid shots were fantastic, and they way they took some of the photos of my daughter and her husband were so creative. The most amazing thing is that we couldn't remember even seeing them when they were taking pictures at the reception. Picking an album is going to be next to impossible, because I am sure we'll want all of them in one book! From our initial zoom meeting with Elaine and Leo to the final details meeting, we knew we made the right choice. They left you with the feeling that our only job was to enjoy the day and not worry about anything else. I highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement or any special event you want captured.
Absolutely incredible. Their attention to detail and how dedicated they are to get each perfect shot was amazing. We just received our trailer and can’t wait for the rest! They wer...
e a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be happier!
We are happy we chose Emerlin to be our videographers on our wedding day! From our initial phone conversation, we knew right away we wanted them to capture our day. Throughout our...
wedding day, Emerlin was there right by our side recording every moment. As they are a husband and wife team, we were able to capture both of us getting ready and every important moment from two perspectives. We selected both a short and long length film and we are so happy we decided to do both. Both of them came out absolutely beautiful! The highlight film captured the most important moments in such a perfect way. The long film brought us right back to our wedding day and all of the emotions with it. Emerlin does such a fantastic job producing a film that you will cherish for years to come. We cannot recommend them enough!!
Emerlin was a dream. We initially debated if we need a videographer... we’ve said many times that it was the best decision we made! Elaine and Leandro are personable, kind, funny, ...
and caring. They exceeded all expectations in our wedding video. We originally did not have an “Instagram sneak peak” but emailed them after our wedding to add one. I highly recommend adding that- once the wedding weekend is over it was such an exciting surprise to see the sneak peek just a few days later on the Honeymoon ! Emerlin captured the emotion perfectly and beautifully edited the video - the drone shots, detail shots, everything was stunning. We watched the full video over Thanksgiving with our family and there was not a dry eye in the room. It is such a gift to have these memories on film. We can not recommend Emerlin videography highly enough!
Elaine and Leo were incredibly professional and warm, not to mention vital to keeping the day moving. They were fun to work with and made everyone feel comfortable, which to me is ...
everything you could ask for on such a big day. They truly seem to love what they do and it shows in both how they work with people and the quality of their photos/videos. Very natural style but capture great moments. Could not recommend them more.
If I could give Emerlin Photo and Film 1000 stars I would! We used Leandro for his videography services for our wedding, and we don’t have one bad thing to say about him! He did a ...
phenomenal job with our wedding video and highlight film. He is truly amazing at capturing your special day! Both Elaine and Leandro are so professional, personable and we enjoyed working with them! I wish I could have another wedding just to use their services again!!
All I can say is, WOW! Elaine did our engagement shoot last week and we are STILL gushing over our sneak peek! She was absolutely amazing to work with and made us feel so comfortab...
le. She is extremely talented and has an amazing eye. We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos.
Wow! Where do we even begin. Choosing Elaine and Leandro for our wedding video was THE BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE! Not only are they both the kindest, most understanding humans we'...
ve ever met, but they are also extremely talented and captured our wedding day so beautifully. From the moment we met, Elaine and Leandro accommodated our needs, listened to our vision, and gave us tips and advice for our wedding that we are forever grateful for. Their presence on our wedding day was calming. It was comforting to be with them all day and it felt like they were family. We knew they were amazing, but wow, our wedding video took our breath away. They brought our love story to life, and allowed us to relive the magic of that special day. It brings us and our friends/family to tears EVERY time! You NEED Emerlin Photo & Films for your special day! It is the best decision you'll make!
Elaine, Leandro, and Ricardo, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love and your beautiful work!
I just got finished watching my highlight video (5 times in a row) and had to rush to write them a review. Elaine and Leandro are so incredibly talented and I truly can't recommend...
them enough. Our video captured everything that our photos could not and I truly think using them as our videographer was the best decision we made on our wedding day. They are so warm and friendly and just so easy to work with. I would write more but going back to watching this film on repeat because I am so in love!!! You will not regret having them there to capture your special day! Thank you again Elaine and Leandro!
elaine and leandro are a true pleasure to work with. they are so patient and sweet. they are an amazing duo and the help they brought along with them were also amazing and very fun...
! very good hearted sweet couple who work amazing together!! love love love them
Elaine and Leandro are simply a beautiful husband and wife working duo! They had the best communication with everyone and down to earth personalities. Super professional. They made...
our day the best ever. We couldn’t have honestly picked any better duo! They captured every wonderful moment in our wedding. Our next day Instagram video was the dest decision, made us cry all over again!! Everyone can’t stop raving about the video, we are so so happy!! We can’t wait for the final works!
I don’t even know where to start! The moment I found Emerlin through our friends that were getting married, I knew I had to get more information about them. When Elaine and I talk...
ed on the phone regarding pricing and their packages, I knew this would be our photographer and film crew. Within a few days, we booked them for our wedding two years later and we couldn’t be happier! Elaine and her husband are the sweetest, most professional team. We met them first when we did our engagement photos and even with all of the weather cancellations, they were still so accommodating and understanding. This husband/wife team’s attention to detail and passion for their work is truly incredible. The quality of their work is unbeatable. For our wedding, one of our requests was to return to the gas station where we met to take some photos. Elaine and Leandro jumped at the opportunity! The photoshoot itself was so much fun to do (even the gas attendant was taking our photos LOL), but the results were even better! We have gotten so many compliments about our photos already (quality wise) and we can NOT wait to see the rest of them. Please do NOT hesitate to book Emerlin for your wedding because you will not regret it!! Leandro and Elaine- Thank you and your team SO much for all of your hard work! We can not wait to hopefully work with you again in the future!! XO, Wojciech & Edyta
I cannot express enough how blow away we are by the quality of images and services by the Emerlin Photo & Film team. We had a negative experience with our original photographer and...
needed a new photo and video vendor less than two months before our wedding and Elaine and Leandro saved the day. The professionalism, prompt communication, and awesome team made everything perfect. And the quality...absolutely stunning. They are worth every single dollar spent. The whole team takes their work very seriously but are super nice and fun to work with too! I truly recommend the Emerlin Photo & Film team!
I cannot express how amazing Leandro and Elaine are. They are the dynamic duo! I had so much difficulty in selecting a videographer. Emerlin's videos are the only ones that made me...
cry! After my first initial call with Leandro and Elaine, I knew they were the perfect fit for us. Day of, they were incredible. Helpful, on time, and perfectly executed our vision. We had our 1 minute trailer back a few days later and I cannot wait until we get our full video. I'm so impressed with their work and cannot recommend them enough!!
If I could give 10 stars I would!! Leandro and Elaine were absolutely wonderful to work with. They met with us twice before the wedding to go over small details and what to expect ...
day of. They made us feel comfortable and I honestly felt like they weren’t even there because they weren’t all in our faces but yet got some of the best shots!!! I couldn’t say enough about how the video turned out. I can’t stop watching it and reliving the day! I’m so happy I found them and I would recommend them a million more times over again
Let me start off by saying we were very much on the fence about getting a videographer for our wedding. But I am SO glad we decided to work with Emerlin Films. This company is an a...
bsolute pleasure to work with ON TOP OF the fact that their work continues to make me cry to this day! They captured our day beautifully and gave us something we will cherish forever. Elaine and Leandro really took the time to get to our story and who we were as people. They genuinely cared about helping make our day perfect! I couldn’t recommend Emerlin Films enough for your wedding video. The editing, song, everything was perfectly to who we are and honestly gets us emotional every time we watch it. After the wedding they were extremely communicative still while we waited for our video. Thank you guys so much for everything. We absolutely love you!!!
My favorite vendor of our entire wedding :) I loved working with Emerlin! They were so professional and made my camera shy husband feel comfortable. Our photos, video, and same day...
edit (highly recommend splurging on this!) came out beautifully. The team was so helpful and positive that it definitely felt nice to get those Big Day jitters out. They were so committed to capturing every detail and moment of our day, we couldn't have asked for a better team. They listened to us and gave us the highest quality of work. We love them!

Choosing Emerlin for my photo/film crew was THE BEST decision I could've made for my wedding! From the moment we met them, we knew they were genuine people who were not only amazin...
g at their jobs, but we could tell they cared about us and what our story was. The engagement shoot was so awesome and the wedding day was even bigger and better. They were there as early as I was and stayed until the party was over. They got perfect shots that left us breathless. I had several of my guests contact me to get their information because they loved all of the photos they took as well as how professional they were throughout the day. I could not have imagined my big day without Emerlin. I would choose them over and over again. If you need a photographer/videographer, Emerlin will go above and beyond to capture your perfect day!

Also, there is so much creativity and emotional value to the content they delivered. It felt like we were watching a beautiful memory- laughing, crying and falling in love all over again.
Everything you need for your such a special day!
Once I sat down with them to learn more about the process, they put me at immediate ease. There was no forceful tactics or cheap salesmanship.
They knew what to show me and how it would be relevant for us. Extremely organized.
