Hey, I’m Elisa!
Here is where I’m supposed to tell you how great I am. So… I’m really great. By the way, I’m fluent in sarcasm!
In all seriousness, I love what I do. I'm an elopement & wedding photographer based near Denver, available to travel worldwide. I enjoy connecting genuinely with my clients, and my goal is to create timeless and creative images that you will treasure forever. Here’s a little more about me…
My story…
As early as the age of five, when adults would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, ‘an artist’. I meant it too, and ended up receiving my BFA in Studio Art with a Photography emphasis in 2012. So, my background in photography comes from a conceptual fine art perspective, but I wanted to use my art in a more relational way. After photographing projects in almost every genre of photography, I came to love shooting elopements and weddings. Getting to capture the emotion and beauty of one of the happiest day’s in someone’s life is truly a joy and an honor for me!
When I got married in 2018, the amount of empathy I had for my clients grew exponentially. I treasure the photos of these incredibly important events in my husband Jason’s and my life together, and I have dedicated myself to creating priceless images for all of my couples. I will deliver both artistic photos that you will want to put on your walls, as well as classic shots for your parents to put on their mantle.
Besides taking pictures, I also enjoy traveling, cooking and baking, yoga, hiking, good cocktails, and music. We are parents to two cats and too many plants, and just purchased our first home in Arvada, Colorado in 2021.
So, why me?
I know the search for a photographer can be overwhelming and stressful. It can be hard to tell not only what your photos will look like, but what your experience of being photographed will feel like. Here are a few things about me and my shooting style that you may like to know:
I want your pictures to look natural and flattering. Meaning, I will help pose you throughout the entire session, but being yourself is the most beautiful thing I could ever hope to capture.
This is about YOU. I am not trying to get famous on Instagram, or take pictures for my own benefit. I want to take pictures that you and your partner will cherish.
I overshoot. Translation: You are going to get a lot of beautiful photos. I still cull them down a lot, but I try not to miss anything! It’s more work for me but, you’re worth it!
I have fun. I can’t tell you how many couples have told me, “That was so much more fun than I thought it would be!” and, “That went by so quickly!” Warning: I may laugh at my own jokes during our session.
I’m a planner, but I go with the flow. I like to be as prepared as humanly possible for everything, but as we all know, not everything goes as planned sometimes! Even if it doesn’t, I will still get awesome pictures for you and will keep the atmosphere calm.
