BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPHS

I’ve always been pretty nostalgic. I love things with history, personality, and a story behind them — whether that’s a beautiful old house, a handwritten note, a perfectly worn-in room, or a roll of film.

Outside of photography, I’m happiest spending time with my family, designing something in my house, and snuggling my pups.

I want the day to feel easy with me there. Comfortable, collaborative, and never like you’re performing for the camera.
You can be with your people, enjoy what’s happening, and let the day feel like a wedding—not a photo shoot.
There will be plenty of laughter, a little direction when you need it, and a lot of room for the day to still feel like yours.

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

Your wedding day should feel effortless and exciting. I want being photographed to feel comfortable, collaborative, and fun — with just enough direction to help you feel taken care of, and plenty of room to stay present with your people.

I’m Elyse. Arizona is home, and I’m happiest when the house is full, the coffee is strong, and the people I love are close by.

Jeff and I have been together since college, and life with our daughters, Olive and Lucy, and our goldendoodles, Paco and Gus, is my favorite kind of full.
