Elan Photography

We worked with Bill from Elan Photography. From the first time I spoke to Bill on the phone I knew I wanted him to be my photographer. He is pretty expensive but for me and my husband we wanted to spend more on our photographer than anything else because pictures last forever. Bill was very easy to get in contact with and he was was wonderful to work with on the day of our wedding. He was positive and upbeat and made everyone feel comfortable. He worked quickly and precisely so we didn't get bored. He was creative with his pictures and he allowed for myself and my husband to pitch in ideas for our pictures and he would go with them.
We are still in the process of working with him to get our proofs. but the experience is wonderful and I would say if you are willing to spend a little extra money on pictures Elan Photograpy (Bill) is the place to do it!

The photography was overpriced. The pictures looked untouched and shiny. It took a very long time to get my album which was included in my cost, and my mom who paid extra to buy an album and pictures for herself got hers in weeks, which shows the priority here. My photographer never met with me ahead of time which I thought was going to be the deal, to go over details. On our day she arrived in a timely manner. Later in the evening when she had taken as many pictures as was necessary she politely asked me if I wanted her to stay, and I thought she'd done enough. Half and hour later I found her at my open bar, which I thought was unprofessional. This photographer wasn't worth it, and they were the ones the Herrrington Inn recommended.

He is very professional and very organized. He is fairly priced (maybe a little high), but got the job done. He had a 3 year waiting period before we can “own” the negatives which were a little frustrating for the parents…try and negotiate that down to 1 year or less. Parents want pictures and the parent package he has is too small, so they end up spending hundreds of dollars more. Try to negotiate more upfront so you are not surprised.
