Carl Elixir captured moments that we will cherish for a lifetime
Carl and Chuck’s energy was contagious the day if the wedding. They made all the pre-ceremony pictures enjoyable through the endless marathon of posing. Many laughs were shared from Chuck’s glowing energy. They were able to set the stage and guide you through the vision of the shot, not just telling us what to do. We were able to rely on their direction and they kept us on schedule. The candid shots taken during the ceremony and reception were just as amazing. Our guests raved how much excitement Carl and Chuck brought when it came time for them to take pictures.
While we wouldn’t say our wedding day felt like a blur, we would say it was a long day with so many events that there were times that we had to rush to stay on schedule. Going through these moments captured by Carl allows us to relive on our perfect day each time. We've received endless compliments and will cherish these pictures forever.

Ash (photographer) and Ched (videographer) did an incredible job of capturing every detail and emotion of our special day. They were professional and a joy to work with. They made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, from the first look to the last song during the reception.
The photos and video are absolutely stunning. Ash captured the essence of our wedding, from the romantic ceremony to the fun and laughter of the reception. We've already gotten so many compliments from our friends and family on the beautiful photos and videos.
