Wonderful experience and beautiful photos

My husband and I were married in November 2022, and we loved having Elaine as our photographer! She took the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable right from the start. She knew exactly how to bring our vision to life. Our wedding was at the end of fall, but she knew how to capture the remaining seasonal beauty, and she gave us gorgeous wedding photos that we will enjoy forever!

Such a fun and comfortable experience!

Elaine is local to central PA, affordable and such a delight to work with! Our engagement session was the first time we have had professional photos done together. My husband and I used her services not only for our engagement but for our wedding as well. We are very excited and happy with how the photos turned out. I feel I do not photograph well at all yet Elaine made me feel/look so beautiful in them! It was very comfortable and easy going during the sessions and she is very prompt with communication. I had such a great time working with Elaine and would absolutely recommend her for any of your photography needs!
