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 elopements, weddings, destination weddings, engagements, and creatively styled sessions. My laid-back yet intentional direction style allows me to focus on capturing the natural reactions and moments that occur throughout your special day. If you have a wandering heart, an old soul, or are seeking to have your story captured in a timeless and authentic way, then we'll be a perfect fit.


My approach to photography is a delicate balance between documentary and editorial, as I strive to tell an authentic story through my images while also showcasing the magic of the moment. I edit my photos in a warm and nostalgic style that captures the moment as you remember it, without overly altering the images.

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 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 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.
