About this vendor
Screw fairytales. Let’s capture some real love stories.
Your wedding day. Aka a rockin’ party with your favorite people. Dancing to songs that bring you back to your college days. Bridesmaids who make funny faces while zipping up your dress. A spouse-to-be who calms you with an inside joke and a sweet kiss. Gotta love love! Especially when it’s your story.
That’s why over here we don’t do the curated, light + airy fake sh*t. This is your love story. And these are your photos. We’re sure as heck capturing them your way.
To you. May you celebrate the sh*t out of your ah-mazing love story and plan a wedding that’s fun, exciting, and oh-SO-real. When you get those photos, I want tears to fall ‘cause you’re thinking, ‘Man, that’s really us! We did the thing!’
My approach to wedding photography is pretty simple. As an academically trained photographer, I want your photos to freeze some of your strongest memories. This way, a mid-day flip through your photos in 10 years puts you right back in the moment.
And as a rebel, I want to capture your love story authentically. You’re not meant to be a perfectly edited pair. You’re meant to be a couple. Every inside joke. Unique detail. Eccentric mannerism. Those are what make a tale of two lovers incredible.

For starters, Liz is phenomenal. My wife and I were at our wit's end when looking for a wedding photographer. We knew we were in good hands when we found Liz and had our first vide...
o conference call with her. The wedding pictures were so fantastic that they rekindled our experience and made us wish we could relive them. She helped to make this memory all the more special for us. But this is just the end result.
Liz is the right choice for you if you are very flexible and appreciate natural settings instead of rigid cues and poses! She noted this in our first meeting, and my wife and I breathed a sigh of relief. Capturing the natural moments helped us to envision the experience with our family and friends, considering that we lost precious loved ones before our wedding date. All in all, the process was lovely. Liz was absolutely prepared, with her assistant, to cover every angle and capture beautiful moments that we would not have anticipated. It was incredible to see how structured she is with planning and worked with us every step of the way with the timeline, shot list, special requests, and speed in which the online gallery was made available to us. In fact, speaking about responsiveness, there isn't a day when we would send an email and she would not get back to us within hours or a little later but within the same day.
And, I must talk about our engagement session. My wife and I had a private engagement years ago. However, we decided to have this session added to our package and are glad we did it. The pictures of our family, including our little ones, were stunning! Thank you, Liz Stewart Photography, for capturing our memories and allowing us to recall our wedding experience beautifully.
We highly recommend her for your engagement and wedding experience. 100%, Absolutely!
We chose Liz as our photographer for our wedding as she came highly recommended by our planner. She was so nice and easy to work with and our photos came out beautiful. We are so ...
happy that we chose her.
We didn't really know what we wanted from our photography, and Liz was able to walk us through our options and help us decide when and where to take certain pictures, and she was also very accommodating for anything that we did know we wanted. Additionally she was able to help us with our poses which we needed some help with as well.
A big positive was that she insisted that we do a photo shoot with her before the wedding. This helped us get comfortable with her and her process, which in retrospect was one less thing we had to worry about on the big day.
Also it is worth noting that we had a covid cancellation and we had no issues with her in terms of rescheduling.
Our photos came out fantastic, and we were so pleased with the quality and outcome. There are quite a few hanging around our living room at the moment. Overall Liz was professional, knowledgable, kind, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend her for wedding photography, especially if you don't know exactly what shots you want for your wedding and you want someone who can help direct you through it like we did.
Liz is so fun and full of life, which made her a great fit as our photographer! She is not only an amazing photographer but also an amazing person. She took our engagement photos a...
nd our wedding photos. The engagement photos were perfect because it gave us a chance to get to know her better and also to get more comfortable taking professional photos. We were also able to figure out which poses we liked, our "good" sides, and more!
On our wedding day, Liz helped us let loose and get comfortable. I have never considered myself to be a photogenic person and usually hate photos of myself but I was so comfortable that I stopped worrying about how I might look in photos. And it turns out I love all of the photos she took of us! We were able to be our goofy selves and Liz really captured us in candid and carefree moments. Some of our favorite photos are the silly and playful ones that aren't as posed.
I love looking back at our photos and remembering what a perfect day it was. I know we'll have many more amazing milestones going forward and I fully intend to hire Liz for those events as well!
Absolutely loved working with Liz. She captured our cross-cultural wedding so well! She is organized, helpful, and so fun to work with. Highly recommend her to future couples :)
Liz is an outstanding photographer--she shot our wedding and our engagement session (for which she actually helped us find a venue) and she is so, so talented at finding and facili...
tating shots that feel individualized and real. Liz is a great collaborator in that she is so willing to bounce around ideas for more shots and worked with suggestions we gave her. She also does an excellent job marshalling, say, family members who don't like having their photos taken or don't really know how to pose. Her turnaround times with the preview and the final set of photos was quite prompt considering it was December (a hectic month for many). We would wholeheartedly recommend Liz for weddings, portraits and events, and we're going to hire her to do a portrait session when we finally get a dog.
I would love to put 10 stars. I LOVED LIZ. I can't say enough to illustrate how pleased I was to work with her. Best photographer ever.
I am a stickler about professionalism and o...
rganization. From the first phone call, Liz showed her worth. Liz and her partner became an extension of the wedding. My wedding was private (no guests), so I did not need a coordinator. However, Liz helped in areas I did not anticipate. We had a lot of fun while getting the job done. I felt like a star and my husband equally appreciated the session. I love how personable Liz is. I wish took a picture with her. The end results were amazing! It is hard for me to pick favorites because I love them all. She is worth every penny.
We could not have asked for a better photographer than Liz Stewart. Weddings come with countless stressors, but our photos were certainly not one of them. She made us feel so comfo...
rtable in front of the camera. Her direction is as fantastic as it is laid back. She did a fantastic job of making us feel comfortable and confident as her camera clicked away. She made putting together a shot list wonderfully easy, listening to every moment we wanted to capture as well as suggesting plenty of shots we had not considered. My mom made the wedding bouquets and table arrangements – so getting those details pictures was important to my husband and I. Even her knowing to get the details of the church and ceremony really makes our wedding photos so special. She made sure to familiarize herself with the Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony to make sure she captured the key moments. The variety of pictures we got for both our engagement and wedding was great – there were so many excellent shots that picking favorites for an album was nearly impossible! We were quite pleased to have this “problem.” Her eye for the best shots is clear in her work. The online gallery she uses is great for viewing, marking favorites, and is easy for sharing with others. We cannot recommend Liz Stewart enough. She captured the happiest and most important day of my husband’s and my life with beauty second only to the experience itself.
Working with Liz was amazing- she made our 2020 Micro-Wedding feel like the full experience thing! We got so many wonderful images back that we will cherish forever. Every person w...
ho attended stated how wonderful an fun Liz was! She took the time to go through so many poses and backdrops and got pictures of anything and everything we wanted. Even though our wedding plans had to change due to the pandemic Liz was accommodating and make the day the most special it could be. She was easy going and so much fun to work with! Any couple would be LUCKY to have her for their special event photos. She made us laugh and captured so many beautiful moments. We received our photos back so fast and were able to share them with all of those who were not able to attend. When you hire Liz you will not have to worry about a single thing- she has you covered! Would recommend her with a glowing 5 star review!
Liz is the absolute best wedding photographer you could ask for! She is organized, fun, and produces amazing photos.

andemic. Liz is professional and prompt, and did an excellent job keeping our wedding on schedule and capturing every meaningful moment.
Liz also took our engagement photos at the tidal basin during peak bloom of the cherry blossoms. She captured the natural beauty of that area so perfectly, and made us feel very comfortable in front of her camera. We will cherish those photos for many years to come.
I truly cannot say enough nice things about Liz, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer that they can trust and depend on to not only deliver incredible photos, but to also make sure that your wedding day is everything you imagined and more.
Liz is amazing! From the initial e-mail correspondence she was very professional and organized. We hired her to photograph our courthouse wedding and then moved to a second locatio...
n to take photos with our dog. When our wedding officiant was late for our appointment, Liz suggested we step outside and take some pictures while we waited. On her way in she had noticed some beautiful trees in bloom that made a beautiful backdrop. She is an artist and is always thinking about getting the perfect shot for her clients.
Posing for photos can be pretty awkward, but Liz made us feel comfortable the whole time.
The photos turned out amazing! We would definitely work with Liz again. Highly recommend Liz Stewart Photography!
I cannot say enough great things about Liz. We heard about Liz by attending a friends' wedding last year, and she was the photographer. We had an initial facetime conversation wi...
th her and could tell immediately that we wanted to work with her; not-to-mention, she offered us a free engagement photo session to get to know each other in preparation for the big day. She sends you this step-by-step guide to help you throughout the process as I had no clue of all that was involved, and that goes into planning a wedding (from the photo timeline to the shot list and so much more). I was nervous about the timeline, and Liz helped to calm my fears by offering several suggestions based on her many years of experience. Unfortunately, on our wedding day, our timeline was thrown off by one mishap, and it ended up delaying the rest of the nights' events. What I love most about Liz is, despite the absolute chaos of that day, she remained perfectly calm. It takes a truly talented artist to capture candid photos as she did even though we were incredibly behind schedule. In the words of Aaron Siskind, "Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever..It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." This is exactly what Liz did for us that day, and we can both look back at these images and remember that day exactly as it was. I would recommend her a million times over!
My Favorite Vendor!
I don't know where to begin with Liz. By far my favorite vendor for so many reasons. We were so impressed with her professionalism and ability to get things do...
ne- she was far more competent and helpful than even my day-of coordinator. The difference I found compared to all the other vendors is that Liz genuinely cares about you and your wedding. You can't get that from many vendors. She made sure everyone was on schedule and thought of every detail beyond what was asked/required of her. She spent hours on the phone with me answering my silly questions and gave me good ideas for favors, helped me with my entire timeline- with Liz I felt like I got a photographer, a planner, and a day-of-coordinator all in one. I had a photo station with an ipad for selfies for guests, and I was told from a family member that she saw it was dying during the night so she personally grabbed a charger to make sure it was all taken care of. She is the best of the best and I would recommend her a million times over if I could! Our pictures came out PERFECT, she did a beautiful job capturing the emotions, they were light and airy, natural and we look so happy. She is such a calming presence- there was one point after the cocktail hour where we had a few minutes to chill and me, my husband, and Liz just sat around eating hor douvres, taking it all in. She's a really cool chick who you want to have on your team because she will make you feel beautiful, calm, and will take care of business. It was an incredible night and we feel so lucky to have found Liz.
We hired Liz for our DC wedding in July 2019. When I first chatted with Liz, I was so excited to work with her. Liz listened to all of our ideas and concerns, and as the genius th...
at she is created photographs that will last a lifetime. Liz was an ever calming force. The engagement photo shoot was great preparation for the big day.
We cannot say enough good things about Liz. She is a professional. She loves what she does and that is apparent in her work. Any couple would be lucky to work with her.
We love Liz Stewart Photography and would hire her again in a minute. Liz Stewart creates magic! She brings joy, energy and authenticity to her work that brings out the best in the...
bride, groom, wedding party and guests.
Our photos are so beautiful, and they reflect the time and thoughtfulness Liz invested getting to know the bride and groom before the wedding itself. Liz spent time with our daughter and son in law before they married to get to know their style and their dreams for the perfect wedding. She visited our various venues to check out lighting and other conditions. She shot a breath-taking sequence of engagement photos at the Washington Canoe Club that completely captured the happy couple, their smiles, their love and their devotion. Despite the cold wet weather, the engagement pictures are perfect. She managed to capture just the right balance of the happy couple, the spectacular scenery, and the colorful and funky vibe of the boat house and canoes.
Likewise, the wedding photos are stunning and encapsulate every happy memory. We had a complicated agenda- preparations at a home in Georgetown, formal pictures in the Bishop’s Garden at Washington National Cathedral, the wedding itself at Georgetown Presbyterian Church, then on to Decatur House for the reception. Liz was cheerful and flexible throughout, as was her partner, and thanks to Liz’s skilled planning and suggested scheduling, it all went off like clockwork. Our minister even commented on how professional Liz was, and she has recommended Liz to other brides!
Liz does a great job of asking beforehand what photos to capture, and true to her word, she got every shot requested, and then some! The formal pictures will be family keepsakes for years. And the spontaneous shots will always make us smile and remember the warmth and love of that big day. Her follow up was reliable and true to her commitment. Selecting photos was tough because there were so many great ones, but her recommendations made it easier. The final picture book was elegant, evocative and an absolutely perfect keepsake of a perfect day.
On a personal note, Liz is delightful to work with. She is smart, responsive, organized, on time, thoughtful, experienced, and kind. She understands and appreciates the importance of these special moments, and what they cost, and she will give her all to make the photography experience positive. Liz Stewart Photography will capture the beauty, energy and love of your event so that you will remember every wonderful detail for the rest of your life!
Liz Stewart is simply the best to work with. She is so knowledgeable and made our very specific photography request happen even better than we could have imagined! Liz is so talent...
ed and great to work with, I’m so glad we hired her!! Liz is so organized and the way she structures her shot list made our wedding pictures so easy and efficient. Anyone that wants incredible images from their wedding day should work with Liz.

of our wedding photos, she was always very professional, responsive, and enjoyable to work with. She knew where to position herself to get the best angles for our photos, as well as how to organize everyone to get through our posed photos efficiently - and our wedding photos came out beautifully! Liz truly captured what was important to us and the little details we don't want to forget. We have received numerous comments from friends and family on how great both our wedding and engagement photos came out. Liz did an incredible job and we could not recommend her more!
Look no further for your wedding photographer! If you want a knowledgeable, talented, organized, and thoughtful photographer, you should absolutely choose Liz Stewart. One of the m...
ost important priorities for my husband and I was to have beautiful wedding photographs that we would cherish for years to come, so selecting the perfect wedding photographer was crucial to us. We interviewed multiple photographers and after meeting Liz immediately knew that she was the right choice. Right off the bat, Liz struck the perfect balance between asking what we desired from our wedding photographs and telling us her strengths and what she could accomplish for us. She was great at listening to our needs and letting us know how she could get us to our goals, which is something I did not get from any other photographer we spoke with. When we did our engagement shoot with Liz, we experienced first-hand how comfortable she makes people feel. Not only was the engagement shoot a fun experience and good practice for our wedding day, the photos were stunning and completely blew us away! Liz was present and communicative throughout our entire wedding planning process and we were so surprised with how much additional work she did to make our wedding day go smoothly. She helped us craft our shot list and our day-of-timeline (which she conveniently uploaded to her smart watch for the big day!), something that was daunting to us as we had a long day at multiple locations. Liz went above and beyond by scoping out photograph locations near our ceremony venue a few days before our wedding to ensure the lighting would be just right for outdoor pictures. On our wedding day, Liz (and her great second shooter Megan) took care of everything. Liz’s professionalism and welcoming personality put everyone at ease, which made our photos so much more natural. It also helped to ease potentially stressful situations, like organizing many family members together for family formals! We had a wonderful, personalized experience with Liz and got the most gorgeous photographs from our wedding day. They were more than we ever could have imagined and even showed us moments throughout the day that we hadn’t even caught ourselves. We would hire Liz again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend her to those searching for an amazing photographer!!
I hired Liz for my DC wedding in August 2018. Liz is extremely responsive, professional, personable, and produces the highest quality photography. I had no idea how much planning g...
oes into the photography portion of the wedding (timeline, shot list, backup weather plans, transportation timing, etc.) and I am so lucky to have had Liz help guide me through this process – she was always a phone call away whenever I needed to run something by her. Liz first did our engagement shoot –Liz was extremely accommodating and rescheduled multiple times to try and catch the DC cherry blossoms at their peak. I am so happy we did the engagement shoot with her first – this allowed us to get to know one another and get used to posing. I’d say it was most important for my now husband who isn’t one to want to take lots of photos – he loved Liz and I felt like he could have kept going with the pictures all day. Now on to the wedding day photos – I’m overwhelmed with which photos to choose for my wedding album because I love them all; she also provides every photo in both color and B&W. Liz made everyone feel comfortable – my family, friends, etc. during the formal shoots outside in front of the Capitol. Whenever I’d start to worry about timeline, Liz eased my nerves and told me that was not my concern and we are on track. Having Liz by my side all day ended up being more beneficial/comforting than my day of coordinator – she even helped us figure out how to bustle my dress when we were struggling. Liz was on a mission to make sure we got all of the photos I requested in my shot list and yet Liz & her assistant photographer were hardly noticeable during the ceremony and reception (which is the way it should be!). I was worried about the reception pictures since it was outside at night with dim lighting but the pictures came out clear and bright. Liz provides first look engagement and wedding photos within a few weeks after the shoot and then full photos a few weeks later – she was never late on any date she told me she would have the photos by. Her online album to view the photos is great and makes it easy to share with others and download the photos in different resolutions. If you are looking for a photographer that takes pride in their work, has a sense of humor, takes the time to get to know you and customize the experience to what is most important to you, and of course – produces stunning high quality photography at a reasonable price– then Liz is your girl.

xactly what I dreamed of, every vision I had, she made come true. Our wedding day Liz and her assistant photographer were there for every moment and extremely helpful and patient. They kept our day on schedule and captured all our special moments. I highly recommend booking her ASAP! :)

res! The photos are truly stunning and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives.
Liz and her team were a breath of fresh air in the wedding planning process. They did such a fantastic job and captured everything we wanted. From the moment we met Liz, I knew we were in good hands, but she completed surpassed my expectations the day of the wedding and when she showed us the photos! Liz was extremely organized, experienced, efficient, responsive, professional, dependable, easy going and affordable! She is passionate about her work, which was evident when she went to our venue a few weeks before our wedding to become familiar with the location and to test out different cameras/lighting options that would be optimal for the different rooms.
Liz was such a valuable and essential part of our wedding day. She made the whole day execute flawlessly. Liz kept us on schedule, led the other photographers and videographers, directed the entire bridal party, and captured all of the pictures I would have forgotten about.
She was a joy to be around, especially on our wedding day. She had such a positive and happy energy without being intrusive. I had complete confidence in Liz and she did not disappoint!
The biggest advantage of hiring Liz was the final product. Our wedding photos are simply stunning. She did such an amazing job editing the photos and was so quick to provide the completed photos to us. She offered such a large variety of high quality photos that are truly breathtaking. We love our photos, we love our album, and we love Liz!
Liz, Alex and I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful wedding photos and album you created. You and your team were outstanding and such a joy to work with. We sincerely appreciate your dedication and hard work and we wish you all the best!
We loved working with Liz (and Megan)! Although we were planning our Virginia wedding from Ohio, Liz made the process very easy. We were able to meet with her over Skype for her...
to learn more about us and our idea for the wedding. She was able to create a package that worked for us, including shooting our rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding. Over the next several months Liz kept me on track by asking for my "shot list", locations that we wanted to go to on our way, and just to check in. She was prompt in responding to messages. When we finally met with her the night before the wedding she was extremely personable and really wanted us to focus on having a good time and spending time with our guests, but was still able to capture all the special moments. We absolutely loved the quality and number of photos we received. We enjoy going back through our photos and reliving the day.
Liz came highly recommended by a friend and was everything we could have asked for and more in a photographer. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day—Li...
z took the time to understand what was most important to us and captured spectacular portraits from our nuptial mass. At each and every step of the process, she was incredibly sweet. thoughtful, responsible, flexible, and professional. She made us feel comfortable learning how to pose, handling all the guests and family members with grace, and helping make our wedding day organized, calm, and a more enjoyable experience for us. Plus we couldn’t be happier with the beautiful photographs!
It was truly a pleasure working with Liz! She was incredibly professional, accommodating and so responsive to all of our emails and phone calls during the planning process. On the ...
day of the wedding she showed up on time and did a great job sticking to our schedule. We were so impressed with how she handled the group shots of the bridal party and families. Liz was patient, yet assertive, and the pictures look so natural. Throughout the whole day Liz made us feel relaxed and comfortable and we are so thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out! She was able to capture so many beautiful moments from our wedding day that it has been hard to select which ones are our favorite! We would absolutely recommend Liz to anyone looking for a professional photographer. Thank you Liz for everything!
I cannot say enough positive things about Liz and her work! Once we started looking for wedding vendors, I was most concerned about having to pick a wedding photographer. It's a bi...
g decision and there seem to be endless options! I did a number of phone calls with potential photographers and Liz stood out to me immediately. She was outgoing, genuine and asked lots of questions about my fiance and I. I appreciated that because I could tell that her attention to detail and our style together as a couple would reflect in her work. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, Liz was incredibly responsive and was quick to reassure us if we were concerned about a pose, a photo, a logistical question or anything wedding-related! On the day of the wedding, she was fabulous. My family was so impressed with her professionalism, how efficient she was when shooting our family formals (trust me, she was FAST) and how effortlessly she moved from shot to shot without interfering in conversations or personal moments. We wanted our wedding to feel very personal and intimate, and Liz was able to capture that while making everyone around her feel comfortable and respected. I would recommend Liz and her work to anyone, and I know we will cherish and appreciate our photos for years to come.
Liz was so great to work with! She was always very responsive to all my questions and emails. She also had great ideas on where certain pictures should take place and what order ...
would work best. The day of timeline was planned out with lots of room to get everywhere but still get every picture I wanted. Liz always made sure we were getting the best shot, even if that meant her getting on the ground as to not have a giant truck in the back of the picture. She is just such a nice person and made everyone in my large bridal party and family feel so comfortable. She was also great with our little nieces and nephews!
Selecting Liz to be our wedding photographer is one of the best choices we made. From our first consultation until the day she photographed our wedding, we knew we were in good han...
ds. Liz spent time getting to know us as a couple and worked hard to understand what we were looking for. She was professional, always timely, and answered all our questions. After we selected her as our photographer, we didn't have to worry about this important aspect of our wedding because she took care of all the details. On our wedding day she was organized and respectful, while also ensuring we got all the pictures that we wanted. Her talents really showed in the final photographs. We highly recommend her services!
Liz did an amazing job at our wedding and was great to work with! She met with us beforehand to discuss what we were looking for in both our engagement and wedding photos, and was...
very friendly and easy to work with. This was our first professional photo shoot so she helped suggest ideas and made us feel comfortable throughout the process for both our engagement and wedding photos. At the wedding she did a great job of capturing not only the ceremony, guests and family photos, but getting photos of all the details and minor items that went in to our wedding as well. Through-out the process she was very responsive and a lot of fun to work with. The photos also turned out amazing!!! We would highly recommend Liz and would definitely work with her again. Thank you Liz!
Liz is one of my favorite people I've ever worked with. She is kind, direct, professional, and exactly the type of person you want taking your photos. My husband was so anti engag...
ement photos, but after working with Liz he honestly didn't mind, and the main reason was just because he liked her, and she totally understood him. She has a great eye for composition and light, probably due to her art school training. She is prompt to respond and, perhaps most importantly, really reasonably priced. I whole hardheartedly recommend her!
We had a wonderful experience working with Liz as our wedding photographer and highly recommend her for anyone’s special event. Liz initially captured our attention from the beauti...
ful photos displayed on her website. It was clear to us that she has a keen eye for composition and is a very skilled photographer. From the moment we sat down with Liz and began talking about plans for our upcoming wedding, we felt she was the perfect match for our wedding and we booked her immediately. We chose Liz because of the high quality of the work on her website, and her eagerness to work with us on our unconventional, very small wedding.
Liz was a pleasure to work with before, during, and after our event. Since we were planning such an intimate ceremony, we had not given a lot of thought to the details of what we wanted from our wedding photos. All we knew was that we wanted pictures. Leading up to the wedding, Liz helped us flesh out the “shot list” and the schedule of the photos so we knew what was going to happen when. The day of the wedding, she and her second shooter captured so many fantastic moments of our intimate ceremony. They did this so quietly we had even forgotten they were there! After the ceremony, Liz guided us through shooting some excellent scenes and poses around the venue of just the two of us. Following our wedding, Liz provided our photos in an easily accessible online gallery. She also was highly responsive to answer any questions we had about printing and framing the images.
Liz was a joy to work with and we are extremely grateful for her professionalism and her attention throughout our wedding experience. The stunning photos we now have hanging on our walls will be treasured for the rest of our lives.
We have really enjoyed working with Liz and would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was the first and only photographer we interviewed for our wedding. Once we met her, we knew sh...
e would be great, and her portfolio speaks for itself. Liz is a wonderful combination of fun and calming when you are working with her, and at the same time is extremely professional. Having your picture taken is not natural - and can be downright awkward (unless you're a celebrity), but Liz helped us to relax and breathe, and helped to create moments that seemed natural to us. During our engagement photoshoot she didn't hesitate to allow us to include our dogs in the mix. On the wedding day itself we had fun taking photos with her and watching her "geek out" because of the perfect lighting at sunset. You can tell she loves what she does. Thank you, Liz, for everything. Hopefully our paths will cross again soon!
Liz was absolutely amazing. From the first day we met her, we knew she was our photographer. She was very professional, very sweet, her pictures were beautiful, and my parents also...
felt the same way! During our engagement session, she was really friendly and helped us since we had never had professional pictures taken before. She was communicative, telling us how to look and trying to help us act naturally. The pictures turned out gorgeous. We kept in touch throughout our engagement year and close to the big day she kept in touch and was responsive and super helpful. She is so organized, which is something I loved. Liz showed up on the day of the wedding early and with her partner who was also good. She directed us very well and was efficient and patient while dealing with our large and loud family! She was very fast to get some pictures back to us and they are perfect. I would highly recommend her and would hire her again.
Liz was our favorite vendor of all those we used for our wedding. She is a great photographer with a positive attitude, and she takes the time to gain a real understanding for wha...
t her clients want. As someone who often feels awkward posing, Liz got me and my groom moving and laughing so the whole experience felt natural. Liz was flexible and easy to work with. When our first choice location for formal photos was unavailable, she talked with the National Park Service to find a beautiful alternative close to our venue. Even after getting caught in the rain at the end of our pre-ceremony photo session, she arrived at the venue with a smile. Not to mention, of course, that her photos are amazing.
Liz was such an amazing find during our wedding process! I loved her portfolio and she made me feel totally at east when we met in person to discuss the wedding. She is the perfect...
mix of bubbly and professional. I noticed a lot of the weddings on her blog were much more formal than what we were going for, but she totally got our "vibe' and embraced the style we were looking for. We had several near "literal" meltdowns on my wedding day (the AC was broken in June!), but Liz stayed calm and upbeat and helped us troubleshoot to find the right spots for our pictures. At the end of the day, our photos turned out beautifully and we LOVE them! If you are looking for a reasonably priced stellar photographer to capture your special day, Liz is your girl!
I found Liz from several sites and decided to talk to her in person. Since my husband and I live in oversea, we talked through Skype. I knew she was going to be our photographer ...
as we talked! She was super nice and was also confident of her work. Even though we had a time difference, she always responded my questions quickly. Very responsible!
We were impressed with Liz's knowledge and experience. Liz was so friendly and helpful throughout the event (engagement and wedding photos), and seemed to be everywhere at all times! We all were impressed with the shots she suggested, the shots she knew to take when we didn't ask, and her ability to capture so many perfect moments. With over hundreds of pictures taken within her time with us, we just know we had great time with her and our wedding memories last forever. Thank you!!
Liz was a wonderful photographer, very good at putting my husband and me at ease, and incredibly responsive. Without a doubt, working with Liz was the smoothest part of planning th...
is wedding (when the transportation I hired to take me to the church didn't show up, for instance, my bridesmaids and I rode with Liz in her car).
You absolutely get your money's worth with Liz and I couldn't be happier with our beautiful wedding photos. She was always cheerful and energetic, but approachable. My family raved about how she was able to handle our larger family group photos, working with everyone from grandparents to toddlers. And she does a great job encouraging you and the bridal party from behind the camera.
You will not regret hiring Liz.
We HIGHLY recommend Liz for your engagement and wedding photos! We initially chose her because of the clarity and editing done to previous photos of hers. She constantly kept us on...
our toes and made sure we were giving "genuine" smiles instead of fake smiles from the countless pictures taken during the day. We really enjoyed using her for our engagement session and even more so on the big day. She brought a couple of other photographers to help her capture moments during the day so there were a wide range of photos. We will definitely be using her again for future photography needs <3
I loved having Liz as my photographer! Liz was very responsive to all of our questions and helped us work through the logistics of our big day while keeping us calm and laughing. W...
e chose Liz because she was easy to talk with and we got along great. Throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding she worked with us to set up our timeline and shot list. She was always available by email or phone and really went the extra mile to make sure we felt comfortable leading up to the big day. She was willing to work with my vision and made our nontraditional ceremony, first look and reception ideas seem normal. On the day of our wedding she kept us calm and comfortable and there was so much laughter. Liz delivered all of the photos within the timeline set out in our contract and the photographs were beautiful! We have received so many compliments on the photos and we cannot wait to hang them in our home. I would definitely recommend working with Liz for your wedding. I hope we can work with Liz again in the future for other life events.
I cannot say enough glowing things about Liz Stewart. If you're on the fence, just do yourself a favor and hire this amazing, friendly, impeccable artist.
When we first met with ...
Liz, she struck us immediately with her professionalism. She was very organized and offered responses before we even had the chance to ask. She asked great questions. We were delighted to have found a photographer we fell into such an easy groove with. Her packages and rates were very reasonable so we hired her. During our engagement photos, she was a confident and creative director. We felt very at ease with her. Our photos were just gorgeous and we couldn't wait for her to photograph our wedding. In the lead-up, we felt like we were whack-a-mole-ing problems with every last wedding detail, but in our pre-wedding meeting with Liz to go over the details, my husband and I both said "Well Liz is perfect obviously, so we don't have to worry about her." We meant it! On wedding day, she was a wonderfully calming presence among the crazy. She captured great shots, expertly herded the non-compliant cats of wedding guests and added to the celebratory happy atmostphere all day. We were thrilled with her performance, and when we got the photos, well I'm practically crying as I type this out because they're all so beautiful I still can't believe it. We've been hearing nothing but compliments on the amazing job the photographers did. I can't even pick my favorites because there are so many. Hire Liz Stewart. She's the best.
Liz Stewart rocks! My husband and I were so lucky to have Liz be our wedding photographer. During our search for a photographer we met some really talented people but nobody really...
clicked for me (no pun intended) until I met Liz. On our first meeting I think we spoke about the wedding for about half an hour then spent the next hour chatting like old friends.
My husband and I had been together for several years before we got married but most of our pictures were in selfie mode. So, it really meant a lot to us when Liz offered us a complimentary engagement shoot. The experience was awesome and we were hooked.
The day of our wedding Liz Stewart arrived on time and with an assistant, Tony. Despite gale force winds and frigid temperatures she was able to wrangle all our family members for the family portraits and got them done quickly. She took fantastic photographs and somehow managed to hide the fact that we were all freezing. Liz was there throughout our event and like a stealthy ninja was there capturing all our special moments without ever getting in the way.
We were so excited to receive our pictures from Liz only 3 weeks after the wedding. They were so beautiful! She demonstrated a clear understanding of our vision for the day and who we are as individuals and as a couple.
If you are looking for a photographer who is professional, warm, funny, responsive, and extremely talented, look no further.
We had the extraordinary pleasure of working with Liz Stewart on our engagement shoot and wedding in 2016. Liz immediately stood out early in our search as someone who was highly p...
rofessional, confident and exceedingly responsive to all inquiries and questions. Per her suggestion, we met for a consultation to see if we were a good fit and to get to know each other's personality and working style. Liz is an excellent listener and she really takes her time to understand her clients' expectations and vision, so that she can better anticipate the needs on the big day. She is very organized and calm, she knows when to step back, follow the lead and when to step in. After the ceremony, my husband and I stopped by the Lincoln Memorial to take a few quick pictures of just the two of us. Liz did an amazing job at keeping the tourists at bay and directing the flow around us, keeping us focused and moving through the shots quickly. When we got to our cocktail hour and reception, she weaved through the crowd and most of the time we didn't even know she was there. She truly captured everyone's mood and the joy of the moment. After the wedding, Liz provided regular updates on her progress with the photos and remained available and approachable. We referred Liz to many of our friends. One of our wedding guests was very impressed with Liz and hired her to shoot a promotion ceremony. Liz is a very lovely person, she is sweet, genuine, upbeat and confident, and someone who takes great pride in her work. She enjoys meeting new people and cherishes the opportunity to share their most treasured life moments. We couldn't be happier with the service and product we received, and we truly enjoyed working with Liz. We plan on sharing/capturing many more moments with Liz in the future.
Liz was such a delight to work with. She made sure that we got what we paid for and beyond. She was extremely professional and responsive leading up to our big day. She not only g...
ave us ideas about our vision based on her own experience from her wedding day and was completely open and honest with our vision. I interviewed many photographers and to be honest what drew me most to Liz was her sweet and patient personality, in addition to her beautiful portfolio. She proved to me from our phone conversations that she would be the best fit, personality and experience wise, to take on the huge responsibility of capturing all those special memories. On the day of our event she showed up on time with an assistant who was also a delight to work with. The both were very patient and made us feel so comfortable. At the reception it felt as if they both were a part of the reception and knew exactly what shots to capture. Liz, thank you for doing such a tremendous job at our wedding. We could not be happier with what you did for us and can recommend you only in the highest possible regard.
Liz did a fantastic job with my wedding photography. To start, on the service side of things, she was professional and timely. When I was first searching for photographers and bega...
n inquiring with all of them, she responded quickly, professionally and was very thorough. Compared to the others, I was impressed. Contacting her was easy and I always received a response withing about a day. She was did an excellent job working with my needs. The price was not excessive and I'd estimate about mid-range. I didn't have much to spend, and she still worked with my budget and did her best to make it work for me. In regards to the quality of her work, I was impressed. The photos came out beautifully and they could have been in a wedding magazine. I'm not easy to please. One thing I did notice is that she gave me a lot of the freedom to choose what shots she took. I'm not certain if that's the case for every client. I have only had exposure to one other wedding photographer to compare with. Liz was a lot more relaxed while the other photographer ordered everyone around and chose the poses herself. I make that comparison to highlight that she isn't pushy and can grant a client as much freedom as wanted. I had the freedom to choose, which was valuable to me. Overall, I would recommend Liz, and definitely feel that she did a phenomenal job.
I absolutely loved working with Liz. She is so organized, personable, and made me feel so comfortable. I couldn't have asked for more for my big day! It's been almost two years sin...
ce our wedding, and my husband I often stop and look at the framed photos on the wall and remark on how great a job Liz did.
My husband and I used Liz for both our engagement shoot and our wedding and we cannot stop raving about how wonderful she is! From start to finish, Liz was extremely responsive and...
consultative and helped us with everything from picking outfits that look great on camera (engagement shoot) to a shot list to the day of agenda. Her rapport is impeccable which ensured that we were comfortable and made for a lot of great, natural looking photos and made our wedding day stress free knowing we were in good hands. We used our engagement photos for our Save the Date and still receive compliments on them! Day of she was wonderful and helped coordinate our wedding party to make sure that we got the photos we wanted and blended in with/treated our guests fabulously. We cannot wait to use Liz again in the future when other events call for professional photos!
