About Nelson Cinematic

Nelson Cinematic

Owner & Principal Photographer

Whether you are throwing a massive get together with all of your friends and family, or putting together a smaller, more intimate wedding day, no day will come close in comparison. I have always loved capturing weddings in a documentary fashion. I don't do super posed photos but instead I like to capture moments as they happen. I don't lay out intricate patterns with bobbins, ribbon and invitations, but instead photograph the small details in their true and simplistic form.

I love working with movement and motions instead of stiff poses. I strive to make you laugh and smile in your most authentic ways. I find happiness in capturing your true memorable moments and you can trust me to never miss those candid and spontaneous memories. Wether you have all of this wedding planning business figure out, or if you are as lost as I was when it comes to planning, I am here to help with all your wedding photography wants and needs.

    Forever Memories

    From the moment we first spoke with Elizabeth, we knew we were in good hands. She was prompt, understanding, and insightful throughout the entire process. She was creative and knowledgeable in her approach to our unusual wedding venue, capturing the day in an authentic and natural way. Elizabeth provided helpful prompts that put us at ease in front of the camera, as we are not natural photo people. She was also more than willing to try different ideas to make our photos unique and special. One thing that was really important to us was ensuring our guests felt included, so we asked Elizabeth to photograph all the couples at our small wedding. She expertly coordinated this, and our guests were thrilled to receive the special photos to take home. We are over the moon with the final results and highly recommend Nelson Cinematic to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience. We will forever cherish the memories that each picture holds.

    Would HIGHLY Recommend

    From our first interaction, the team at Nelson Cinematic demonstrated an articulate, consistent, and personable communication style that put us at ease. Their work is truly beautiful, reflective of our relationship, and filled with passion. They openly communicated with us to understand our vision and were amazing to work with, helping us create the perfect wedding video and photos. Nelson Cinematic even drove to our location and collaborated seamlessly with our videographer, capturing all the special moments we'll cherish forever. We loved working with Elizabeth for our engagement photos and look forward to continuing to use her services for our family photos in the future.

    The sweetest

    Nelson Cinematic was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. Her communication throughout the process was open, honest, and timely. The quality of her work was excellent, and the gallery we received made it a tremendous value. She kept us on schedule and captured so many beautiful candid moments that will allow us to relive our special day for years to come. Even when her flight was delayed, she made miracles happen, working overtime to ensure our wedding was covered by a talented professional just in case. Thankfully she showed up right on time and didn’t miss a beat. She fully captured our vision. We couldn't be happier with the timeless photos we now have to cherish!!

    Elizabeth is amazing!

    Elizabeth has photographed our family from engagement, to wedding to maternity. She made us feel at ease and look like naturals in front of the camera. Our photos reflect our personality and exactly what I envisioned for each occasion. We love Elizabeth and will continue to use her as our family grows!

    Most Incredible Photographer

    Elizabeth was so incredible from start to finish. She made me feel so at ease with the process! She helped me come up with a timeline for my wedding to get the best lighting for our photos and to make sure we fit in all the photos we wanted for the time we had with her. I do not like having my photo taken and she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. My husband and wedding party were very impressed with her professionalism and kindness. We ADORE our photos and are so happy to have these wonderful memories forever.

    Thank you so much Kristina! Your wedding was so beautiful and I am so happy that I was able to capture your memories. Y'all made me feel like family throughout the entire timeline, from consult to wedding day <3

I offer a bundle package with a local wedding videographer that is 6hrs of coverage.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Typically, couples book me about 13 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.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 6-8 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a preview gallery with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
