Throughout the years, I’ve had the privilege to photograph the weddings of many great couples and the folks they call family and friends. Their praise and gratitude are music to my ears and the reason my passion for the art of wedding photography grows stronger with every wedding that I document. Read what they thought about working with me below.
If there was an option to give more than 5 stars, I would use it. Elyse has been SUCH a pleasure to plan with and work with. She seriously goes above and beyond, and I am extremely grateful that she was able to photograph our special day for us.
You can plainly see Elyse's pure talent in her online portfolio, but what you may not see until you meet her is her ability to communicate effectively about her vision, make everyone comfortable in front of the camera lens, and collaborate with other creatives like the videographer to ensure everything is working as a well-oiled machine.
We have never felt more beautiful than the photographs Elyse took of us, and for that, we will always be thankful.
Right from the first introductory call, all the way until the day Elyse shared the most amazing wedding album ever – we couldn’t have imagined a better, more down to earth photographer. We first met Elyse shortly after choosing her to be photographer for an engagement shoot – she not only picked a perfect location, but she made us feel comfortable, encouraging us to just “have fun with it”. We left the shoot feeling super excited, my now husband (who doesn’t love these kinds of things) even said, “wow she is great, that was fun”.
Fast forward a couple months, and we got side swiped by CVD-19 having to postpone our wedding by a couple of months. Yet again, Elyse surprised us with flexibility, understanding and empathy – which was not something commonly experienced by many of our friends who had gone through a similar experience with their vendors.
Fast forward again to weeks leading up to the big day, Elyse helped with logistics and planning – and even gave us some really good tips about what works and what doesn’t. We appreciated her candidness and expertise.
And, finally the W E D D I N G day – Elyse received vendor MVP from my friends and family as she literally acted like a photography ninja, buzzing around, even in the pouring rain to capture our most precious moments. Even a couple of weeks after the wedding people would comment, "who was your photographer, she was amazing". Elyse always went above and beyond for us, including fast editing a couple ‘teaser” photos for us within 24 hrs. of the big day.
We were beyond lucky to have Elyse as our photographer, in fact … we decided she will be our photographer for life capturing our biggest milestones from here on out! We would recommend her any day, full-stop – you won’t be disappointed!
“Elyse is so energetic and professional. She makes you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Her work is magical. She’s a Beautiful soul and we can't wait to do more work with her.”
“Elyse was amazing! From our initial call to receiving all our stunning wedding photos, she was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is so personable, organized and patient. We were so thankful for her on our wedding day, her relaxed attitude was such a pleasure to be around and she was so accommodating.
We felt such a nice personal connection with her, some of our guests actually thought she was part of the family! We cannot thank her enough!”
“Elyse photographed our small wedding ceremony, and we could not have been happier with our experience. We knew the photos would turn out beautifully from everything we saw of her work online, but we could not have anticipated how positive, professional, and heartwarming she made the whole process.
She made us feel comfortable, and listened to our ideas for the shoot, resulting in the photos feeling like a perfect reflection of ourselves, and the day. Thank you so much Elyse, for capturing our special day!.”
Due North Photography is amazing! Elyse takes photography to another level of creativity. She works tirelessly to achieve the most creative and beautiful Photographs you will ever see. Also one of the nicest people we have met! I recommend her 100%.”
“We had the most wonderful experience working with Elyse from Due North for our engagement photos! From the very start, she was incredibly easy to work with and had amazing communication. Both my fiancé and I typically feel quite awkward in front of the camera, but Elyse made the entire process super comfortable, fun, and enjoyable. She has a true talent for making you feel at ease and capturing those genuine, candid moments.
Elyse was also incredibly efficient in getting our photos back to us. We were thrilled with how quickly she delivered them, and they were absolutely stunning! The style was exactly what we had envisioned—beautiful and timeless. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out.
We are so excited to have Elyse as our photographers for our wedding as well. If you're looking for someone who is professional, personable, and exceptionally talented, look no further than Elyse at Due North. Highly recommend!”
“My business is reliant on our website to make any sales. I'm in a competitive market where branding is the most important part to make us stand out against other companies. This is where we rely on Due North Photography who has filled our website and social media accounts with stunning and high quality product photos.
From the first consultation, Elyse listened to the initial vision and added her own suggestions to take it to the next level. Her experience is invaluable. She continues to go above and beyond coming up with creative ways to take product shots. There is no doubt that Due North Photography is why we have been successful in our sales. She gave us a visual story and consistent aesthetic that is totally unique to us. She continues to provide us with strategies and support in our marketing as we grow.
Our brand has truly been elevated since the first day of working with Due North Photography. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend.”
“We absolutely loved all of the photos you took on the engagement shoot as well as your energy and how easy you made it!”
