Hello, I’m Eric with Elite Images Photography, I’ve been professional photographer for over 20 years in Dubuque Iowa. We blend candid photojournalism with engaging, guided poses throughout your wedding day. We totally understand you don’t want to spend your wedding day just posing for photos; you want to be with your family and guests! We've mastered the art of being fast, super-efficient, and detail-oriented all at once!

I have many passions, and photography is one at the top. It’s something I’ve loved since a kid and continue today with excitement every time I do a shoot. One of my biggest strengths is creativity which I incorporate into all my photos and shoots. So your photos are not just ordinary shots, they are a creation and stand out from the crowd. Photos are timeless and provide very vivid memories that will never happen again. You'll want these memories for all your children and generations to come. Your memories and photos are priceless and never can be replaced. So this is the time and the moment to capture all you can.

Hi, I'm Amanda. I've been photographing weddings in Eastern Iowa for almost two decades, and here's what I've learned: the photos couples treasure most are never the ones they planned. It's the laugh that slips out during the first look. The way your dad squeezes your hand before you walk down the aisle. The moment someone kicks off their heels and the dance floor finally lets loose. That's what I show up to find.

With over 20 years of experience photographing people (which is basically my entire adult life), to say that I live and breathe photography would be an understatement. I cannot imagine doing anything else. It's who I am and my true passion in life.

I started doing photography 6 years ago and have been in love with capturing true raw moments during sessions and weddings. Weddings and couples sessions are my favorite because you are able to capture the love between two people and all the candid fun moments of their wedding day! I am a stay at home dad with three kids. Two girls and a boy. Definitely have my hands full most days and they like to keep me on my toes! My beautiful wife and I have been married coming up on 9 years. Photography is my passion and I could not think of doing anything else!

I am Jose M. García, a professional photographer based in Dubuque, Iowa. To take photos it's my passion, that is why I will do all my best to capture your most precious moments in life and make them pictures with words so everytime you look at your photos, you can travel back in time to that moment. Based out of Dubuque, Iowa, and originally from Granada, Spain, my journey to the United States began about 9 years ago when I was hired to teach Spanish at a local school. My love for photography started out as a hobby but has now turned into a passion.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.
