Ross did an excellent job from start to finish. He returned all of our calls promptly, was on time for the ceremony and did an excellent job with the pictures. He was also very friendly and easy to work with.
I would recommend him without hesitation.
His prices were VERY reasonable as well.

Ross is great to work with, and will stay with you the whole day on your big day, and keep snapping away! Loved the photos and video quality!
Got the final printed photos and video later than we would have liked, and our video was a bit shorter than we wanted, but overall the end product was very good!
Great products for the package price, and Ross is a lot of fun to work with.
Looking forward to receiving our wedding day trailer.

Thank you Ross, for beautifully capturing our wedding day!

I really must say that we were totally impressed by our whole experience with our photographers and videographers. We love our albums and our video was phenomenal. We got our pix the week after and our album and video were done within one month of our wedding. We can not say enough about their personalities or professionalism. They were recommended by a co worker and can really say that we got lucky. Totally recommend using these guys. Do your selves a favor and get the best.

The Wedding Elites do very detailed work. Ross is very professional and provided us with beautiful photos. The videographer who showed up to help him out was sleepy and aloof causing issues with receipt of our wedding video, however, we both adored working with Ross and the the value and quality of his personal work was exceptional. We would highly recommend choosing Ross to photograph and record any event in our lives.

The final video was definitely not perfect, however it was able to capture some important memories from our day. Not exactly what we were expecting, but we are glad to have something to remember our day.

Ross and his team are amazing. I was sick the entire day of my wedding and he still made me look and feel beautiful. He is well priced and takes amazing pictures. I can honestly say I do not have one complaint about this vendor. I am even referring him to other people for their events. I can't wait to work with him again to do a maternity shoot for our first baby. Thank you Ross for everything you really are a great person and professional to work with.
