Working with Elle & Co (Dani & Jed) was the easiest vendor decision we made! Dani is so easy to talk to and made us so comfortable and blew us away with all of our wedding photos. Our venue in Detroit, MI was very dark and the venue recommended Elle & Co and advised us they were good in photographing in the dark space and we're so glad we found them! Our photos turned out amazing. Elle & Co is IT with knowledge and professionalism and just overall great people to be around :)

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or stress about photos. Day of the wedding she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She did a fantastic job of even catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

Ally was amazing, we talked a couple times before our wedding, and then there she was early and ready to go for our ceremony! She did a great job understanding what we were looking for, which was mostly documentary style photography of the ceremony, and family portraits afterwards. High winds and hot temps and very bright overhead sunlight, and yet our pictures are stunning!! Everyone looks so good, and she captured our happiness perfectly. Thank you Ally for these forever memories, we could not have asked for a better experience.

As a wedding professional of 19+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding! Watching your Mom zipping up your dress while she fights back tears, the first look with Dad as he sees his baby girl ready to walk down the isle... capturing all the little moments while you say "I do" is what I live for! I believe your wedding day is the start of your family legacy and it's meant to be captured and enjoyed for years to come.

Shayla did a great job in capturing our special day. She is very talented and creative! She did our engagement photos also which we love! Jr was so hard having to choose our favorite photos to hang in the house. She is very patient and her turnaround time in getting the photos back to us was quick! Ordered products from her studio as well and they why quality of them is absolutely worth it! Definitely will be continuing to use Shayla for all our family photo needs.

I absolutely loved working with Cami! She took her time with our enaagement session and was verv open to all of my ideas and tried every single one! As well as adding her own spunk to my crazy ideas! I highly recommend her and her husband AO as they are a pleasure to work with. Very sweet people. I was even bouncing a few wedding dates and even thought of relcating my wedding to Gatlinburg and they were completely fine with going to Gatlinburg to shoot my wedding! They were very flexible with all of my questions and concerns! I'm always really worried about that after I sign the contract and pay money that things will change. Not with them! Cannot wait for our wedding session!

Krystal was my coordinator, and she was incredible!! She was super friendly and bubbly, but also extremely professional. Working with her and her team was such a smooth process; they were quick communicators, I always got a response back quickly, and I never felt uncertain or worried with them. From the engagement session to the wedding itself to the delivery of the final product, I was extremely happy.
