I'm Elyse, the lady behind the lens!


I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing honest, unscripted moments. I am based in South Florida but I'll travel anywhere for a good love story!

 

 

This is MY process:

I specialize in capturing stories- from elopements and weddings to branding sessions, creative portraits, and destination shoots. My laid-back yet intentional approach allows me to focus on natural reactions and genuine connections, whether it’s between two people in love or a brand and its audience.

My photography blends documentary authenticity with an editorial eye, creating images that feel both real and artful. I edit in a warm, nostalgic style that reflects the true essence of the moment, preserving it just as you remember it.

If you have a wandering heart, an old soul, or a story to tell; I’d love to capture it in a way that feels timeless and true.

Elyse photographed our engagement shoot and our wedding. I’ve worked with many photographers and have never felt so comfortable. She made my wedding feel like dream and the pictures look like a fairytale. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation for any special day that you want forever memories of

Elyse was outstanding to work with, super friendly and great with communication before and after the photoshoot! She was very accommodating and helpful with suggestions for outfit ideas and locations. We are so happy with how our engagement photos turned out and couldn't have asked for a more seamless experience.

Elyse was a DREAM to work with! From the moment we reached out to her, to the delivery of the photos; she always made sure we were heard. We wanted to shoot "just because" photos to celebrate our love for each other and our pup. Elyse made us feel super comfortable and made the whole process so fun despite the early morning rain shower on the beach (which in my opinion, made for great photos). She was so patient with us and our pup and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
