Weddings

INQUIRE FOR DETAILS

As a North Carolina Wedding Photographer, my goal is not just to take  dreamy, elegant photos, but to create lasting memories of your day. I want you to look at a photo and remember how much joy you felt in that moment, or how emotional you were feeling, or how much love you poured into those details.

My approach to wedding photography is so much more than just showing up with a camera in hand. I want to connect with you from our very first phone call! I will be with you every step of the way, from the North Carolina engagement session we've planned, to the timeline of each wedding day moment.

If you've been searching for an NC photographer who not only provides beautiful photos, but also provides a high quality experience, then your search is over! Let's get started.

Elsa's passion and creativity really shine through her work. We had such a good time taking pictures at Reynolda Garden, everything felt so natural.
