Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Carmel, IN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,999

My approach to photography is relaxed and unobtrusive with uncompromising attention to detail. Over the years, I’ve learned that the most important thing is helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and once that happens, everything else usually falls into place. As your wedding photographer, my ultimate goal is to capture the authentic emotion of your wedding, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

I had an incredible experience working with Mark for my photo shoot! From the very beginning he was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable. He has an amazing eye for detail, choosing the best angles and capturing natural, beautiful moments. The final photos exceeded my expectations and truly showcased his talent. Highly recommend!!

The finished photos are of excellent quality and editing, capturing all the special moments of our day in a way that exceeds our expectations.

We are Indy wedding photographers and capture beautiful weddings world-wide. We are Van Elk & Co owners, Jenn & Steven Van Elk. We're so glad we get to work with so many amazing couples and other creatives to create beauty, uniqueness, and quality. Our goal is to hand over beautiful images that you will cherish for years to come. Our images communicate the visual story of your wedding day. Our couples have their own unique personalities which we let shine through our images. Jenn is our editing mastermind. Steven along with two of our other talent photographers make up the rest of our team.

Van Elk & Co was wonderful to work with! Jenn was amazing with communication and helped us make the perfect photo timeline that fit all our needs (which was quite difficult may I add, seeing as how we didn’t have a first look) :) Hannah was our lead photographer and wow am I grateful for her. She got to know us so well and seemed to know exactly what we were looking for. We had a blast shooting our engagement photos, as well as enjoyed her positive vibes all throughout our wedding day. She has a wonderful personality and kind heart that always kept us excited for the photos. Even in my most stressful moments, I would just look at Hannah and she always had a smile on her face which was so comforting. She and Steven captured the most beautiful photos I could have imagined. Steven was so thoughtful, organized, and thorough with our photo list and made sure everything was accomplished. Our gallery was posted so fast and had so many more photos than I thought which made us so happy to re-live that special day. Everything from smiles, tears, laughter, and even the smallest to the biggest details were caught in the most beautiful photographs. They were so versatile in their photography giving us dark and moody (our favorite) but also many different styles for a gorgeous compilation. I highly recommend this team to everyone and couldn't imagine anyone better to capture our favorite moments.

*Please send inquiries through my email or website. Zola makes us vendors pay to be able to respond to you! Which makes it next to impossible for us vendors to provide you with great customer service.* I have never turned down a potato. French fries are my number 1, with mashed a close second. You probably thought I was going to say something about photography. Eh, I can live with that level of disappointment. The Houston Astros are a permanent part of my personality. I do everything I can to travel as much as possible. I believe in friends and family and friends that are like family.

Katy is truly amazing. She photographed our wedding in 2014 and the pictures turned out phenomenal. She also arranged to shoot at Victory Field for our engagement session which was such an awesome experience. Almost 8 years later, she is still our go-to photographer. Not once have we felt we were being “posed” for a photo. She has a way of capturing those raw, authentic moments without being invasive and she has always made us feel comfortable. She has such an amazing energy and you can feel the passion she has for her career. Katy is truly amazing and I’m so glad she has been the one to capture some of the most memorable moments for my family.

We chose the package with two photographers and one videographer for nine hours, and it was absolutely worth it. One feature we really appreciated was the option to expedite our photos within a two-week timeframe—it was such a nice touch. We received over 1,000 photos, and they are all beautiful! They captured every special moment we hoped for, and the candid shots truly mean so much to me. It’s amazing to have so many memories to look back on, especially since the day goes by so quickly. We got married just over two weeks ago, so we’re still waiting on our video package, but based on everything we’ve received so far, I know it will be beautifully put together. The photographers and videographers were all so kind and wonderful to work with. Thank you for capturing our special day so perfectly!

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day.

These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Working with Portraits By Sean was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise. The team of two photographers and a videographer was amazing, capturing so many special moments that will forever stay with us from our wedding day. We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family. I honestly can't say enough good things about our experience with Portraits By Sean - they exceeded our expectations in every way and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us.

I looooooved working with Lacie!!! When we had our engagement photos done, I was really nervous, as I feel awkward in front of a camera and my now husband and I had never had a photoshoot together before. Lacie made us feel so comfortable, and even created a playlist for me knowing I am a big fan of Taylor Swift. She completely erased our nerves! She did such a stunning job with our engagement and wedding photos, we have received so many compliments on them! She got so many beautiful candids too.

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!
