About Developing Diamonds Photography LLC

Developing Diamonds Photography LLC

Photographer/Owner

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

I am a full time event photographer and capturing these monumental moments for all the great couples I've worked with has been such an honor of mine. I truly love being able to tell stories with my craft and freeze these beautiful moments for people. I take pride in my work and I take my craft very seriously. Wedding and event photography is everything to me and all i do, so I am always available for my couples and I take a lot of pride in my communication. I also provide same-day sneak peeks as well as a drone video so my couples can relive their day instantly!

    Elliot is amazing to work with! He is SO quick to respond to messages and is also super fast with taking/editing photos. Both our engagement shoot and wedding photos were stunning and we got tons of compliments from family and friends during the wedding about his professionalism. He rolls with the punches and has an eye for spotting unique photo locations/poses. We can’t stop gushing over these amazing photos we will cherish forever. We can’t thank you enough Elliot!

  • 5 stars for Elliot!

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Elliot! From start to finish, he was attentive, professional, and such a pleasure to work with. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful—capturing not only the big moments but also the candid, heartfelt ones we’ll treasure forever. We were thrilled to receive some wonderful surprises, such as a stunning drone video that gave such a unique perspective of our day. Elliot truly went above and beyond, and the value we received for the price was incredible. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer who genuinely cares about his clients and their memories!

    Elliot was absolutely amazing!! His communication was very professional and timely. He had lots of photo ideas that turned out wonderful! We even got sneak peaks between cocktail hour and dinner. He did a beautiful drone video for us as well. Everyone loved our engagement photos and wedding photos from him. His work is absolutely amazing!! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! We already have given his information to friends and family who loved his work! His pricing is also extremely reasonable! We were very satisfied with his work and he was very easy to work with! He is very personable and came prepared for everything! It was sprinkling during our engagement shoot so he brought beautiful clear umbrellas. There was a chance of rain for our wedding so he brought the umbrellas again and brought a fan for the heat. He had multiple cameras and provided us many different angles and photos. Overall, we highly recommend him!
