elle.g photography

Although we met Lisa after we were married I was more then happy to provide a little insight for anyone looking for a wonderful photographer. After searching San Diego for someone to take photos of my husband, dog, and myself I came across Lisa’s website. I fell in love with her pictures and contacted her right away. I realized her prices were very reasonable for such a high quality of work and booked with her right away! We both have hectic work schedules and she did a wonderful job working out a time that worked for all of us.When I asked photographers about having Guinness (our dog) in photos many-responded back that animals are like props. That alone turned me off to them because I know Guinness has his own mind and agenda so I had to find someone who would work with him. To my delight Lisa spent years as an animal trainer and bonded with him immediately. She was very patient with him and really enjoyed working with him. That made my husband and myself feel very at ease.Overall for the second we met Lisa it felt like we knew her forever. She has such a wonderful personality. She has great ideas for where to shoot pictures and how to shoot them. We never felt uncomfortable around her, which really made out pictures look nature.My husband had to leave with the Navy shortly after taking the pictures. When she e-mailed the link with the photos and I went through them it literally brought tears to my eyes. She really captured us the way we are. Not stiff and uncomfortable but natural and goofy. She did an excellent job picking out the photos that came out the best and touching up what needed to be. I order some and am waiting to go get them framed to hang on our wall!I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. When my husband is commissioned in March we want to use her again for photographs.

My husband and I LOVEd Lisa as well as all our guests. She has a great style and captures exactly what you ask of her. She knows exactly how to "pose" you to get the best shot and make you look your best. She was very friendly, professional and knew how to get those "real smiles" that made for frameable photos. I HIGHLY reccommend her to any bride looking for a photographer with a semi casual, non traditional pose style. We hope to use her for family photos down the line!

You won't find a better photographer than Lisa. So far, we have only seen the "sneak peak" photos from our daughter's wedding and we can already tell it will be very difficult not to buy every picture she took. She managed to capture the fun, emotion, and beauty of the day in every picture. Even beyond the pictures of specific people we had asked her to photograph, Lisa and Xavier (her 2nd photographer) seemed to get great pictures of all of the guests and attendants at different moments throughout day. Completely candid shots that are perfect memory makers. The posed pictures are amazing and the backgrounds she chose are so diverse. So many pictures of the bride and groom that were taken privately with them, make you feel like you had actually been there watching them (without a photographer present) and stir up the very emotion you would have felt in that moment. When we first looked at her website, we were taken with the fantastic color of her photos. In every photo, the colors just POPPED! We checked out several other photographers but we never had the sense of color or found the look of fun in the faces of the couple or guests that we found in Lisa's pictures. Others looked stiff or staged but Lisa's photos made everything look so natural, so candid. Her packages are very affordable and you definitely get your money's worth and more. The start of the wedding day was LATE by 30 minutes which threw everything on our photo timeline behind but Lisa just flowed with it. She never seemed irritated or flustered. She and Xavier went about getting pictures of other things while we scurried to get everything back on schedule. She was a calm in the storm for me as she called me aside, told me to breathe, and said "look at these people, they're having a great time catching up with people they haven't seen in a while. They're fine so you can relax. This is normal...most weddings run a little late...it's going to be great." She was always quick to respond to our emails or phone calls. And, she was even helpful when I was struggling to find the right mother-of-the-bride dress. She gave me pointers on what looks best in photos, color suggestions, and gave her opinion on two dresses I was considering. All in all, we are so glad we chose Elle.G.Photography as our wedding photographer. They were great to work with, fun to get to know, and managed to mix seamlessly in with the crowd to capture so many moments that we never would have seen had they not been there and done their job so well. We can't wait to see all of the finished pictures. We absolutely recommend Elle.G.Photography. If you want the best photographer in San Diego to photograph your wedding, you need to call Lisa. From beginning to end, you will feel like you're working with a family friend (who just happens to be an amazing photographer).

Lisa did a fantastic job with our wedding photos. Without her we would have missed so many breathtaking photos. She is so thorough and creative, I was beyond words when we got access to our photos. Everyone who saw them said the photos brought tears to their eyes as she captured each moment perfectly. I cannot thank her enough for her attention to detail!! We could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

We had a great experience working with Lisa at Elle G Photography. From start to finish it was a true pleasure working with her. We had so much fun shooting our engagement session that we wanted it to keep going. We also had an amazing wedding day with her team. We would recommend Lisa to anyone. We can't wait to work with her again when we shoot our family down the road. ;)

Lisa is an amazing photographer!!! Not only does she take GREAT pictures but she's so easy to work with, LOVE HER! My husband and I felt so comfortable with her from the moment we met her. We did a bike ride for our engagement shoot and had so much fun with her and her husband. Can't wait for her to take pictures in the future of our family.

Lisa came in at the last minute when our original photographer was a no show. She dropped what she was doing when she got the call and was over setting up within 10 minutes. Even though we had never met she was comfortable and professional and that eased our wedding party. We all laughed and celebrated. I would think anyone lucky to have her for their celebrations.

Lisa at elle.g photography did an AMAZING job for our wedding!! We were so impressed with her photos and the way she captured our special day. She has very affordable costs, was very timely in getting us a CD of our pictures, and was so friendly and generous! I highly recommend using elle.g photography for your wedding or special occasion.

If you are in the San Diego area, I urge you to contact Lisa at Elle G Photography! You can preview her photos on her website at ellegphotography.com to see how absolutely incredible the images are that she captures! Lisa is so wonderful and friendly (she even bought me coffee while listening and taking notes about my wedding day!), and her personality makes it feel like one of your friends is there shooting your photos. She is relaxed, and so easy to be around yet she is an incredible professional. When I received my hundreds of images from her, I was simply blown away and so excited by all of the incredible shots of my day!! She was amazing, and I can't imagine if I didn't hire her - the best choice ever!!

Love, love, love Lisa and her crew. They were wonderful and Lisa's photos are like no other. I would suggest her to anyone who needs photos of any occasion.

Lisa and Ross from Elle.g Photography are absolutely amazing!!! They are two wonderful, caring people with such a creative eye! From the moment I spoke with them, I had nothing but confidence and reassurance. They even postponed their family vacation to be able to shoot our wedding! I received a personalized thank you in the mail, and filled out a few questionaires so that they were able to ensure that they had every detail planned out ahead of time. They were an absolute pleasure to work with! Both are very mellow and laid-back, yet extremely professional. I received all the shots that I asked for and more! When we got our proofs back, I was even surprised to learn that Lisa had hiked down the mountainside, and stood in the bushes to get some of the amazing shots that she did! They were able to capture all of our guests without anyone knowing they were there! Our photographs are so beautiful and natural. Not one looks "posed", and Lisa and Ross were able to capture the true essence of the moment in people's faces. I can't thank them enought for their work! They truly live up to the idea of "refreshingly different"!

I just received the pictures from my daughter's wedding. They were phenomenal! Every single picture came out great. The photographer captured not only the wedding but also the incredible setting. Very professional and accommodating. They happily work with you to get the pictures you request. It will be difficult to choose which pictures I want for my album. They were all fantastic.I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND ELLE.G PHOTOGRAPHY. Kathy Butler

Lisa came into a bit of a crisis situation and completely took care of my client, making her wedding day truly a beautiful memory with her laid back style and amazing photography.

Lisa and her team are absolutely amazing. Not only is she an incredible photographer (we cannot stop looking at our pictures!!) but she is just a sweet, down to earth person. We will definitely be using her again!!

Lisa (and Ross) are the BEST! It was such a pleasure working with them on our wedding in Hawaii. The wedding was beautiful, but I am convinced Lisa made it all look even better! Every single photo turned out amazing, and on top of it all, we totally love Lisa & Ross personally! They are so much fun, and don't make you feel like you are being attacked by the paparazzi. You simply can't go wrong with Elle G Photography!

We couldn't have been happier with having Lisa and Ross capture our wedding day! Lisa adds such a creative edge to all of her photos, using different angles, light, and tons of energy to get the job done! We enjoyed having them around us all day and our family and friends have been blown away by the photos! Stunning is the word we keep hearing! Can't wait to have Lisa take our important photos throughout the future!

I had no idea I would be winning the lottery by having Lisa as our photographer. Lisa's great spirit was definitely welcomed and appreciated in our wedding. And her work...jeez, our pictures are amazing!!! I wanted elegant and intimate pictures and my husband wanted cool and modern pictures...and we got the best of both worlds! The true beauty of the pictures, however, are felt not described... It's such an amazing and beautiful thing to be able to experience the same emotions that were felt at the moment the pictures were taken. The feeling is priceless.

Lisa is absolutely amazing! I have had none-stop positive comments about how wonderful our engagement photos are, and now our wedding photos!!! I have referred her to any and all people asking about wedding photographers in the area. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with our photos, and couldn't have enjoyed working with Lisa, her husband Ross, and her other photographer Xavier, more!!! We certainly look forward to having our family photos done with Ellegphotography in the future!!

I absolutely loved ElleG Photography! Lisa made me and my husband feel at ease. We just had fun while she took photos of us. It was a wonderful, easy experience and her photos are unbelievable! I didn't know I looked that good! Everyone has commented that her photos look like they came from a magazine and they really and truly do! She has the best, most easy going, wonderful personality which makes the photo shoots a breeze. She is now my photographer for life!

If I could give Lisa a 10/10 for flexiblity I would give her an 11!! She worked with our crazy schedule and was so patience with us. She is just an amazing photographer and person! We had our engagement session and she worked her magic, I cannot WAIT for her to shoot our wedding!! THANKS LISA!!

Lisa is amazing and I am so happy that she was my photographer. She made everyone feel really comfortable and did such a good job capturing the images I really wanted. She made myself, my husband and my wedding look beautiful. It was very important to me to get really good photographs of my wedding and Lisa went above and beyond. I will always treasure her pictures.

Lisa was our wedding photographer in late September of this year and we could not be happier with all the photo's she took. The poses where effortless and she just kept snapping away, so we have more pictures then we where expecting to receive. Her pricing is one of the best and I highly recommend her. You can use me for a reference anytime. We will continue to have her photograph anything we need in the future for both business or personal use.

The photography team went above and beyond. The pictures were abosolutely beautiful. They were fun to work with and a great value. I would recommend them to everyone!

I actually wish there were more stars to give Lisa. She was absolutely amazing! I couldn't have been more pleased with my decision of photographer. I had the challenge of finding a good photojournalistic style photographer on a tight budget. I looked at many photographer's site and either they were out of my range or their style or quality was just not what I was looking for....until I found Lisa. We met up for a consultation and I knew almost immediately that I wanted to book her. Lisa has a very calming, laid back personality. This was so comforting on my wedding day. It was just fun to have her around! She also had great ideas for how to get natural smiles and poses. And she was able to capture angles in her pictures that I wouldn't have thought of while she was taking the pictures. I'm thrilled with the pictures I have from my special day :) I've had multiple people comment that my photos are the best wedding photos they've ever seen!I truly believe that Lisa will become one of San Diego's premiere wedding photographers. Grab her while you still can!

Lisa Gisczinski with Elle G Photography was one of the highlights of our wedding!! She captured the details of our day flawlessly in a fun and laid back manner. She was able to get all of the shots we had hoped for in addition to surprising us with a ton more unexpected ones that we loved. Once we sat down to look at our photos we realized she must have been one busy lady, because she didn't miss a thing. She left the stress behind and she certainly had a way of getting all of the family and bridal party photos without any craziness. She listened to everything we said and had such unique ideas. It was our favorite wedding gift to ourselves to have Elle G Photography shoot our wedding. We love the timeless quality of her work. One of our favorite photos is where we re-enacted my grandparents on their wedding day since it is now our shared wedding day. She is a brilliant photographer who brings her positively fun and creative passion to every photograph she creates. We couldn't pick our favorite photo because we loved them all, so the walls of our home are filled with our cherished wedding images.

Not only is Lisa an wonderful woman but she is an amazing photographer. She is so passionate about the creative process and seems to have so much fun while she's photographing! . When both my partner and I met with Lisa we were so impressed with her enthusiasm and professional ability we knew right away that she would be the perfect person to photograph our wedding. Her great attitude is very infectous so watch out!!When you look at Lisa's photos you don't just see an image, you get a big sense of feeling and an emotion will appear. You want to be moved by photography and Lisa captures this. It not only happened to me when I looked at my wedding photos but when looking at other work while cruising on her website, I share in the feeling of the photographs.Lisa was the perfect addition to our wedding. She arrived before the wedding to shoot dressing photos and she really knew how to balance getting in the action but never imposing on the ceremony or celebrating of the guests. She has great balance and knows how to get in there and take the BEST shots! We loved having her.Lisa is a wonderful spirit and a passionate yet very professional photographer. I am so happy and fortunate that she was available to be a big part of our celebration.

Lisa was a pleasure to work with, and the pictures were beautiful. She was there for me all day long, and not ever in my way! I've had friends photographers be pushy and in the way and I hated that. I would recommend Lisa to anyone!

Lisa was great, such a pleasure to work with! She listens to all your needs. I had a big wedding party and she was able to keep up with all the chaos. I have and will recommend her to anyone that is getting married or would like to do family portraits.

Fantastic photographer and a lovely person.

We worked on a wedding with elle.g photography in Coronado and were excited with their photos of our floral pieces. They promptly sent us a CD with photos we requested. Very professional and the photos speak for themselves. Great depth of field and photos that capture the moment as well as beautifully staged photos.

One of my favorites. She has a great eye and always captures each couples special day perfectly! She is also one of my Military Mondays™ Hero's. Serving those that serve us! A+

Lisa shines like a ray of sunlight - possibly one of the nicest and most classy ladies we've ever met. Her photography is dynamic, cheerful and bright and captures playful and loving moments, especially fun chemistry between a couple. We have loved her shots of our cakes and showcase them in our own albums at the shop - just gorgeous.

Lisa is amazing. Not only does she have a sweet disposition but she is an amazing photographer and works hard to make sure the bride and groom are very happy. I would recommend her to any couple looking for a fun, professional, talented photographer.

Oahu Wedding had the rare opportunity of working with Lisa and Ross of Elle.G Photography at a recent beach wedding. With the wedding on Oahu, we had never met this talented duo until 30 minutes prior to the wedding, and right away we could tell that our couple was in great hands. They seemed to work so effortlessly, yet the images they captured were breathtaking!

Lisa has an amazing eye and technical ability, along with a great personality to fit right in! You will be absolutely happy with the images she delivers!!

If you are lucky enough to catch my friend Lisa, then you have found yourself one heck of a genuine person and and AMAZING photographer. From the start, Lisa will make you feel comfortable enough to know that your wedding day memories will be captured beautifully. Not only is Lisa talented, she is one of the nicest people I have met since I relocated to San Diego!

If you want to have a fun, fun experience, book Lisa for your wedding. She's a terrific person and a gifted photographer!Merrylin Brichmann
