Introduction

I am as excited about your project as you are. Patience, care and a fun attitude is in everything we do. I get to work with many diverse individuals. That excites me. The challenge to be creative and be in the moment. Posing is important however when the subject is just being naturally themselves is when the magic happens.

Elmo is lovely to work with! He was so much fun to take pictures with. He really listened to want I wanted and helped me take photos that reflected my true personality. He let me have a few outfit changes and backdrops - which was great value for the price. He was dedicated to getting great photos I can use professionally for years to come. And this all reflected in the finished product. I love the photos he took! They are fantastic.

I could write an essay about how great Elmo is. Excellent quality photographer who brings the highest quality taste, style, and equipment to the table. Elmo was very patient, instantly made me feel comfortable, and seems to really enjoy his work. The end result was exactly what I was looking for and more. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks so much Elmo!

Elmo, you truly are an artist. My wife and I are so impressed by the results of our wedding photos and could not be happier. Elmo was so professional, kind, and talented throughout the entire day. He went above and beyond our expectations as a photographer. He was able to capture a wide range of moments on our wedding day. You can really feel his passion pour out as he works and really made the experience exceptional for us. Everyone family and friends were happy with his cheerful attitude. Would love to have him back for future events and we are so thankful to have had him capture all our wedding memories. Wish I could give more stars.

Hire him!! Elmo was phenomenal. My wedding gift to my best friend the bride was the photography. It was nerve wracking to take that on as I did not have a referral and chose St. Elmo solely based on the website and reviews. Elmo is an expert at putting people at ease, blending in with the crowd, getting natural shots as well as posed photos. When I need a photographer again, I will hire him. I recommend him without reservation . You will not regret it.,, hire him...
