About Lindsay Elaine Photography

Lindsay Elaine

Owner

I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lindsay, and I was put on this earth to capture all the special, in-between moments that tell your story. When I’m not trying out a new recipe, kidnapping a puppy to love on, or packing my bags for my next adventure, I’m spending time with couples telling their story in the most authentic way possible. If you’re not afraid of some PDA, or getting a bit dirty just to grab the perfect shot, then we’re probably the perfect match.

I love celebrating couples and the amazing way that God has brought them together. Couples who are spontaneous, adventurous, madly in their love and not afraid to go off the beaten path to get the perfect shot are my kind of people! I'm here to serve you on the most important day of your life. whatever that entails.

    Lindsay is AMAZING

    Lindsay is AMAZING! Seriously, stop researching and book her right now because she was an absolute dream to work with, is SO talented, and all our photos are stunning. Starting from the very beginning when we had our intro call with her, she was so kind, flexible, organized, and truly invested in documenting our love story. We used Lindsay for both our engagement and wedding photographer, and I can easily say the results of both FAR exceeded our expectations. She captured ALL of the special moments throughout the day in an authentic and beautiful manner, so now when we look back at them we feel like she captured our day perfectly. Here's all the finer details, if you are interested! 1.) Our biggest fear/challenge about hiring a photographer was working with someone who didn't make us feel comfortable or relaxed or someone who didn't know how to prompt us for posing. Lindsay was NONE of those things. She instantly made us feel so at ease from the second we met her and her prompts are so easy to follow and produced the best, most natural and authentic photos. 2.) The most helpful aspect of working with Lindsay pre-wedding was her STELLAR organization and responsiveness. Seriously, this girl is organized to a T and always responded to my (sometimes VERY lengthy) emails in a timely manner. She was always so patient with my endless questions, and even took time out of her personal life to preview our wedding photo location to pick out the best spots! How amazing is that?? 3.) Working with Lindsay the day of the wedding was perfect. She arrived to our getting ready location early to make sure she gave herself plenty of time to capture our details photos and followed the schedule perfectly the remainder of the day. She kept us on schedule when we needed it, captured all of our special moments, was prepared and organized, and followed our very detailed (and complex) family photo requests to make sure allllllll the different family combos were included. All in all, if you are looking for a kind, genuine, authentic, organized, talented, and professional photographer.....Lindsay is your girl. We could not be any happier with our experience working with her and the STUNNING engagement and wedding photos she produces. Lindsay honestly feels like she's become our friend and I'm honestly sad that our time working with her for our wedding has come to an end, but we plan on recommending her to everyone and anyone so hopefully our paths will cross again in the future! We love you Lindsay 3

    Lindsay is your girl!

    I would give her more stars if it was possible! Lindsay was absolutely AMAZING and a key part of our wedding. Getting married in the middle of covid was not easy, as we planned and replanned our wedding Lindsay took in all the changes and created a timeline that allowed us to take all the pictures we wanted and get back with plenty of time for the ceremony. She clearly knows what she is doing and gave us more beautiful photos than we could have thought of. Even from the beginning she made sure she knew us before we met and took time to ask the right questions to capture everything we didn't even know we wanted. On the day, she was always there to help hold my dress, fix my hair, and talk with my husband and I when we needed a break from the night. We can easily say that we felt like good friends at the end of the day. Her faith is inspiring and she shows great passion for her work. I have already recommended her to friends who are getting married and trust me when I say you always say yes when she asks you to take sunset photos.

You will receive a sneak peek gallery that tells your whole wedding day from start to finish within 7 days of your wedding (I know you are anxious to see them so I'm not going to hold them any longer than I have to!) Full wedding galleries are delivered within 6-10 weeks depending on the time of the year.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
You can expect about 50 to 75 final hand-edited images per hour of photography coverage. I do not put a cap on how many images you will receive since every wedding is different and those are your memories! But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. I have a list of videographers that I love working with that I can send your way!
In my 6 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never canceled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
Typically, couples book me about 12-18 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
I have been a photographer since 2016 and have been in the wedding industry since 2018. Since then, I have photographed over 75 weddings and elopements. I generally photograph anywhere from 20-25 weddings a year. I cap the number of weddings I take on so I can serve all of my clients with all of me, while still balancing my personal life.
Heck yeah! If my collections do not fit your needs, let me know what you are looking for and I will create a custom collection just for you!
Yes! All of my collections include an unrestricted print release.
Yes! Prints are not included in my collection pricing, so it would be an additional investment. If you are interested in prints, let me know and I will get you a custom quote. An album designed by me is included in my top collection, however, you can always add an album to one of the other collections as well for an additional investment.
Once we've chatted and you decide that I am what you are looking for, I require a $1,000 non-refundable retainer and a signed contract to secure your date. All of this can be done electronically.
