Garden Wedding
Malibu, California
Camille & Daniel
A soft coastal afternoon among sea lavender and wild roses. Camille wore her grandmother's pendant. Daniel cried at the altar before she even reached him.

Photographs made for a life worth remembering.
I'm Elise Laurent, a wedding photographer based in New York and available worldwide. For nearly a decade I've followed couples through the tender spaces between the ceremony and the celebration — capturing the glances, the tears and the quiet moments that make your wedding day yours alone.
My approach is calm and unhurried. I work to make myself nearly invisible so the two of you can simply live in your day, and trust that I'm there when the magic happens.

Stories worth telling.
Every wedding is its own chapter. Here are three that stay with us.
Garden Wedding
Intimate Villa
Tuscany, Italy
Sophia & Matteo
Twenty-two guests. Three courses. Vows spoken in two languages in a vine-covered courtyard. A wedding the size of a secret and twice as beautiful.

Modern City
New York, New York
Isla & James
Rooftop cocktails. A late-night dance floor. A city lit up below them like a gift. Two people deeply in love and completely uninterested in pretending otherwise.

The Approach
Three things that guide every image.
Natural Direction
Gentle prompts, not staged poses. We guide you toward authentic moments rather than manufacturing them. You'll never feel like subjects at your own wedding.
Emotional Storytelling
The photographs that matter most are the ones you didn't know were being taken. We look for feeling over form, and we always will.
Editorial Detail
The shoes. The flowers. The handwriting on the place cards. These details make your wedding uniquely yours — and we photograph them accordingly.

The Experience
What working together looks like.
From your first message to your gallery delivery, every step is designed with you in mind.
Say Hello
Submit your inquiry and tell us about your wedding. We typically respond within 24 hours to confirm whether your date is available and to say a proper hello.
Discovery Call
A relaxed 30-minute video call where we get to know each other, talk through your vision and answer every question about the process — no pressure, just conversation.
Secure Your Date
A signed agreement and retainer hold your date exclusively. From this moment we begin customising your photography plan around the specifics of your day.
Planning and Guidance
Timeline reviews, venue walkthroughs, pre-wedding questionnaires and direct support throughout your planning journey — right up to the week before.

Kind Words
What couples say.
About Elise
A photographer who loves weddings for the same reasons you planned one.
I came to wedding photography through documentary work and a deep belief that love, in its quietest form, is worth archiving. I live for the first look tears, the mothers straightening ties and the exact moment the music starts and suddenly everything is real.
My couples describe working with me as easy. That's exactly what I'm going for. You hired someone to handle this so you wouldn't have to think about it. I take that responsibility seriously.
