Janelle Elise Photography

me so much more fun than stressful! My husband and I had a blast taking pictures with her around the city and she made it special so that we got to enjoy the time together before our wedding, and she did the same for our bridal party!

ing and when...for that I am so so so grateful! I appreciated all her patience with corralling everyone. She made everything so much fun! She is sweet, considerate, helpful, funny and knows how to make everyone feel so comfortable. I can't wait to see all the photographs - they will be just as fantastic as she is - I have no doubt. Thank you again, for all your hard work!

IDEA she was there until after the entire proposal was over but her photos look as if she was right on top of us. The photos have the perfect angles and were so close and clear to see all of our emotions. My fiancé is not used to getting his photos taken and he asked Janelle to just "tell him what to do." She did a perfect job of telling him where to stand and what to do so he didn't have to think about anything but the proposal itself. She also took numerous photos of us after the proposal and did a great job of making us all feel comfortable. We are so fortunate to have those natural and truly candid photos. I couldn't have asked for a better day and I feel so lucky Janelle was there to capture it. I would recommend Janelle to anyone, she is the best!

y. Not only will you be left with amazing, beautiful pictures but Janelle goes above and beyond for you on your wedding day. We had a bridal party of 18 total and Janelle handled us all with ease. She was prompt, professional, timely, organized but also kind, fun and added to our wedding day celebration. If you can't find your flowers, Janelle goes and finds them. If you need to bustle your dress, Janelle offers to do it. She dotes on you the entire day, making you feel like a princess, telling you your beautiful, putting all your worries totally out of your head. And on top of all of that she somehow manages to not make herself too noticeable during the ceremony, but she still gets every picture. There's nothing worse than when the photographer is running around clicking during the ceremony. Janelle was like a mouse! She is so professional. She knows what she's doing and how to do it well. And lastly she's a good person. We never felt like Janelle was just in it for the money. She cares about each and every client. She cares about what's important to you on your wedding day and she really looks to be not only a photographer but also a friend. We're forever thankful for how talented she is because we have the most beautiful pictures from that day but we're also thankful for how much she cared. -Zoe and Nick

le did a fantastic job in all aspects of our work together. She was fun, easy to work with, and very professional-not to mention our photos turned out amazing! Very glad with our choice in working with Janelle!

om. We had a large wedding party and huge family and Janelle was able to manage the big groups with ease and keep us on schedule. Out of all of the big decisions that go into planning a wedding, choosing Janelle as our photographer was one of the best ones we made.

her so deeply. My husband and I are both not very comfortable in front of the camera, but Janelle makes you feel at ease and relaxed and was able to capture the sweetest moments between us without us even realizing it! Before the event, she helps you plan the most efficient schedule lineup so there is enough time to capture every moment during your big day which is so helpful for all of the vendors to follow. Her photography skills is beyond amazing, she captures the most amazing scenery in a random area, and the most breath taking pictures that will make you want to relive your day over and over again. I can go on and on, but Janelle is simply amazing and you will feel at ease that she will capture your love for your significant other with beautiful photos that you can cherish forever.

es and captured EVERY special moment of the day. She definitely commanded the room which made it so much quicker with bridal party and group family pictures. We did not have to stress for a second because we knew that Janelle would capture it all! Janelle cares so much about every bride she works with and it is obvious that she wants to make the bride's day unforgettable! We were completely amazed when we got our pictures back (in 4 days btw!!). If you're looking for an incredible photographer (one who's pictures are featured on famous wedding instagrams as well :))look no further - Janelle is the BEST!

engagement session and on our wedding day. Her bubbly personality and energy was perfect for corralling the whole family and wedding party for photos. Janelle did such a great job of capturing all of the emotions and special moments throughout the day, we absolutely love our engagement and wedding photos!

made us all feel so comfortable and, most importantly, she made it so much fun. Janelle does a great job of capturing candid, authentic moments, and she didn't miss a beat. She has such an artistic eye -- she knew what she was doing at all times which made it so stress-free for my husband and me. Not to mention, we got ALL of our edited photos less than a week later! We were still on our honeymoon when they hit our inbox. I feel like that turnaround time is unheard of in the wedding photography business. Janelle absolutely exceeded my husband's and my expectations in every way. We highly recommend her, regardless of where you live. She is so organized and will go above and beyond to make your experience with her absolutely perfect!!!

for what she does shines through her personality, and makes you feel comfortable and at ease! She is honest and truly makes sure she captures your happiest moments. So many of our friends and family have already complimented our photos - I will be recommending her to everyone I know!

and enjoyable. She always works ahead of schedule, allowing the day to be calm. Her photos are (not to be biased because she was our photographer) the best, they capture you as you want to be seen, Janelle will never let you look bad ;). Highly recommend Janelle to all of my friends and family!

and this new age non posed look. I feel like my photos will never got out of style. On top of all of this she is also increbily kind and patient. BOOK. HER. NOW.

husband is not one who loves to take pictures and Janelle made sure that we both felt comfortable and had fun while taking engagement photos and throughout the whole wedding. There are so many factors that go into a wedding day and she was always right there to help. She keeps everything fun while being efficient and will give you pictures that you will cherish for the rest of your life. She truly is amazing at what she does and I felt like she was just one of my girls, even rocking the dance floor with me! Janelle is ONE OF A KIND! <3

positive, happy and loving. She is also very efficient which the guys loved :). She was able to capture the magic on our day and made us feel very comfortable through it all! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Janelle is the best!!

ot as well as on our wedding day! She is unbelievably talented and makes everything so easy. I cannot sing her praises enough!

apher, have no fear, and choose this lovely lady, you will NOT regret it. Her love for each and every one of her clients is genuine and apparent. One of the most distinct differences between Janelle and other photographers is her ability to control a group. Whether she is taking engagement pictures or she is photographing a large wedding party or taking a picture of 200+ guests at your wedding in front of the church, she knows how to take charge in the sweetest manner, and every picture turns out incredible!! If you usually dislike taking pictures, like my husband, you especially need Janelle. She will make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and will bring out your true happiness in her photos. Now, when looking back on engagement and wedding pictures, my husband, who again usually dislikes pictures of himself, looks at the pictures and says “Dang, I look good!” Janelle far exceeded all our expectations of capturing our big day and we are forever grateful to have such beautiful, natural, happiness filled memories frozen in time.

le, she creates an organized and pleasant atmosphere, and overall she wants the best for the bride and groom. We were from Kansas, she’s from Nashville, and our wedding was in South Carolina. She made it happen! We will treasure her photos for a lifetime! ❤️

ighly recommend!

EVERY little detail of our entire day AND MORE. Every time I turned around, she was there. I never once felt like I needed to remind her of a picture or ‘worry’ about where she was or if she was “capturing the moment”. Everyone at our wedding adored her and had nothing but great things to say about her. Not to mention our photos are ABSOLUTELY BREATH TAKING. SERIOUSLY, EVERY. SINGLE. PICTURE. I could go on and on for days about Janelle. Just book her. I promise you will have NO regrets.

th a warm, romantic-ey vibe, Janelle is your gal. She captured our story so well, and we're honored to have her work in our home. She drove through a blizzard to capture our wedding day. Janelle will be a huge part of your support system on your wedding day. Janelle - we love you!

is amazing at capturing candid, intimate moments and her personality made us feel super comfortable and we had so much fun with her. Janelle is extremely kind, funny, and AMAZING at what she does. Not only is she an awesome wedding photographer, but she was brilliant at making sure our wedding day went perfect. She was awesome at directing my crazy bridal party and family to make sure the day went smoothly. There was even a little crisis at the wedding and she was able to take me and my husband out for sunset photos to ease our worries and help us forget about what was going on for a few moments. Can't thank her enough for all she has done and I would suggest her over and over again to all my friends!

ly therapist, my personal therapist, and my best friend. She has an amazing talent that is unparalleled to others, incredible energy, and is excited about all things. And above all, she has a wonderful heart and gives her talent her all. She's beautiful inside and out, and she will be the best part of your wedding planning process, and your wedding day. Our photos are jaw-dropping stunning and worth every penny!

redible.

e HATES pictures) and our wedding party had a blast with her -- I am in love with the results! I am almost (almost!) tired of my family/friends telling me how much they loved our photographer... Janelle is great at making you feel relaxed and takes charge to keep things flowing on the wedding day so that you can enjoy all of your lovely bride-ness and wedding bliss without worrying about the details! She is definitely the best investment we made in our wedding... I'm still trying to find a way to ask if she wants to be my best friend... yes, she's that great.

ions that it would be perfect! She is great with the overall group - keeps everything light and enjoyable. She has a sense of humor and fun ideas for poses. We had so many photos we loved that captured our true love and all the emotions of the day. She was very efficient and an overall joy to work with! Not to mention how encouraging and kind she was in making me feel like a beautiful bride. We are so thankful we booked Janelle to capture our special day!!

talented photos (thank you Instagram!), and couldn't wait to meet her in person. While she was showing us books of her recent work, I could feel the love and excitement of those couples radiating off of the pages. Janelle not only takes incredible photographs, but is able to truly capture the emotion of those moments. Leaving our meeting, we both knew Janelle was the perfect person to capture our day as well. Our engagement session with Janelle felt like we were walking around the neighborhood with a good friend, catching up and snapping some pictures. Janelle is able to keep everything light, fun and pretty much awesome, and that translated to our wedding day as well. Our wedding party LOVED taking photos with her, and Janelle captured the sweetest of moments throughout the day. She is 200% worth the investment - Janelle is hands down the best choice we made vendor-wise for our wedding. We're so incredibly thankful for the photos we'll cherish for years to come! Thank you, Janelle!!

s for our engagement/wedding and Janelle was the only one who he fell in love with as well. Her photos are absolutely stunning as she is able to capture not only the moment but the emotion as well. Janelle made us feel completely comfortable for the engagement shoot and was super efficient on our wedding day with all the group photos. My only complaint is that communication was slow/lacking at times but her beautiful photos were worth it. Janelle is simply the best!

ured fall colors, moments of love and happiness, and the landscape. Our sunset shots are to die for. Janelle also stepped up to play the role of wedding planner when needed, that was unexpected and so helpful. PLUS, she's efficient. I thought we would need an hour to take family, wedding party, and Husband/Wife shots, but it only took 30 min! And we got every shot we could have ever wanted. She even gave us a personalized gift a week after the wedding. We are impressed, thankful and so glad we booked Janelle!

shooting our engagement session and wedding but she also has a unique ability to capture the essence of the moment. She has a great sense of humor and you forget you are taking photos! She made my day perfect and on schedule while exceeding all my expectations. These photos will last a lifetime. She has a true gift.

she's the best. Janelle is prompt, cheerful, efficient, and encouraging! Janelle has a natural knack to be direct in her instruction (she knows what she's doing), and at the same time insert humor and make everyone feel at ease. She managed our large wedding party like a rock star and everyone had a blast during our photo sessions!She is full of great ideas and yet was open to hearing ours. Janelle was also willing to take some stunning beach pictures of us at sunset. There is no else I would trust more with my wedding photos than Janelle. We received our pictures from her in such a short time and we will forever cherish the moments she captured so skillfully.

out her clients. She always goes above a beyond, even so far as driving an hour away with me and my fiance in order to get an incredible photo in front of a waterfall! I highly recommend using Janelle- she will not disappoint!

t disappoint. Janelle is a pleasure to work with and has an uncanny ability to get the job done quick! My husband loved her for this. Her sweet, friendly personality made it like having a good friend as our photographer. Not only does she take phenomenal pictures, but she basically doubles as a weddin coordinator making sure everyone is where they need to be when they need to be there. I can't say enough fabulous things about Janelle - you will not be disappointed.

her. Janelle was WONDERFUL proposal photographer! Her presence there never got in the way and she ensured that our proposal remain intimate between the two of us. She managed to get the perfect proposal shots highlighting our reactions, as well as the beautiful Nashville skyline! For two people who were very overwhelmed and excited, it felt like she was a part of the celebration. She directed us wonderfully and truly captured the joy and the love that we felt that day! I am so grateful to have had her at our engagement and I am absolutely thrilled with the photos that she took. Thank you, Janelle! You are wonderful!! After our wedding: There are truly not enough words to say how incredible Janelle is. I was fortunate enough to see Janelle work when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding. She was incredibly efficient, funny, hard working, dedicated, and had a wonderful way of making you feel so comfortable. I knew I had to have her for my wedding. She was so accommodating for our engagement pictures, as I wanted snow pictures and in Nashville that is very rare. She went above and beyond to make sure we got pictures during our one snow event. Our wedding day would have not been complete without her. She could truly do it all if she was given the opportunity. She knows how to seamlessly run the day and take pictures SO FAST. We didn’t do a first look, and so with only about an hour to take pictures, we got family and bridal party pictures done in about 15 minutes AND ended up with hundreds of pictures of the two of us. Additionally.. she is FAST at getting pictures back and gives great sneak peeks :) We truly couldn’t imagine our day without her and we are truly saddened that we don’t have a reason for her to take pictures for us anymore! It will be hard to trust anyone else with our pictures. We love Janelle more than words could say!

gain for this precious and important event! Janelle was the ultimate professional and a master at her craft! She handled all the family members with confident direction in a caring fashion- she kept the photos rolling along at a guick but never hurried pace. She has such a great eye and relaxing tone about her that often an important picture was caught with one shot. Janelle is an artist behind the camera and her demeanor is one of respect. She understood our needs before we did! She spoke kindly to the Bride and Groom and made us all feel joyful- even in stressful times. Janelle has creative ideas and the talent to pull them off without a hitch. But the best part.... HER PHOTOS ARE AMAZING! Truly fantastic. She captures light as if she directed exactly where the sun should shine, she recorded emotions and snapped at just the right time. Janelle saw beauty in a split second and managed to get "the perfect picture" over and over again. She helped to make the wedding day lovely for all of us but has given us beautiful memories for our lifetime. I'm so grateful for her talent and the gift she has given us!

ow four months after our wedding we still can't stop obsessing over them. She did such an awesome job capturing each and every special moment of our day!! Not only are her pictures amazing, but she is amazing to work with! She works quickly and captures everything you want, all with a smile and sweet personality! And her turn around time with our photos was awesome-- less than two weeks and they were ours!

nelle!

t the traditional photos that we all need but her keen eye and feel for people captures all the little details and joy in a candid fashion. She is also MARVELOUS with children and unruly groomsmen. If you value spending time at your own wedding instead of an all day photo shoot YET you crave those dreamy pictures you will cherish forever, Janelle is your photographer.

hoto shoot so easy - every time we have had Janelle take our photos, we get SO excited because she makes it so fun and special. She knows exactly what to say to get you to have that "perfect unposed laughing photos" or capture the perfect "this is true love" photos"! Every photo we receive from her you can see our true genuine personalities, laughter and love! Let's take about her photos now... unbelievable. She gets them to you SO quick and every single one is amazing. I've never had a photo that I didn't like! I am always obsessed with every single photo!! The color, how we look, how the photo is - everything, PERFECT! Now let's take even more about her personality - which is a HUGE deal if you are spending your biggest say with this person all day! Janelle went above and beyond for us this past summer when we asked her to join us at our elopement in Vail, CO. She didn't even hesitate. She was SO excited! She went above and beyond by doing extra research about where to take photos there, where we should go and figuring out where the best photo locations were! Now when you elope and it's just you and your husband but you ask a photographer to come - she better be an amazing photographer and the only one I would recommend is Janelle! She was so adventurous when we were in CO and made me feel SO beautiful (even being 33 weeks pregnant) - her photos will be treasured for a lifetime!! Janelle is hands down the BEST photographer out there!!! I promise you, you won't regret your choice by asking her to capture your big day!! She is AMAZING!

cally is camera shy, so comfortable. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out amazing, and everyone has complimented them nonstop since we have gotten them back. Which by the way, took no time at all! Janelle, you are the best! Don't know how we got so lucky to have her as our most important vendor.

tographer wasn't great at catching those candid shots. When I did find a photographer I liked, I had the most uncomfortable, awkward turtle conversation with him on the phone, and became incredibly disheartened. How can you spend an entire day with someone who already makes you feel uncomfortable? I started expanding my search, and stumbled upon Janelle, who at the time was based in Minnesota. I kept searching, but kept finding myself coming back to her page and realized that despite the distance, she was what I was looking for! Her photos just made you feel happy, and you could tell how amazing the day was, and I knew I had to at least reach out to her. Our first phone conversation, she was excited, bubbly, and warm. She understood what I had been searching for, and not only were her pictures fantastic, I was completely comfortable with someone I had never met! She helped me figure out a package that would work for me and even agreed to fly out to do our engagement shoot in California. Janelle on both our engagement and wedding day was fantastic. She arrived on time, communicated with all my vendors, and worked throughout the day to make sure me and my husband were comfortable, and taken care of. You will not regret having Janelle as your photographer. You will laugh constantly, and feel like you're having an amazing day, which you should, because it is your wedding! In terms of turn around time, Janelle got us our engagement pictures within DAYS. Our wedding pictures we received in less than 2 weeks! I've said it in other reviews, but what I valued most during my wedding planning process was professionalism, communication, quality and VALUE. I am so blessed to be able to relive the day so quickly. Thank you so much to Janelle! We love you!

tos turned out. worth EVERY penny!
