To anyone planning the wedding of their dreams, even during the middle of a global pandemic…read more... please stop looking and book Clivabeth Photography ASAP!!!
Elizabeth was our photographer for our engagement session in January 2020, and then again for our small, outdoor, COVID-compliant wedding on 11/14/2020.
During the engagement session, she was fun, professional, and knowledgable about dog-friendly sites! We were blown away at how beautiful these shots came out, and she designed our Save the Dates with them, which everyone loved!
However, during our wedding day come November, Elizabeth surpassed all previous expectations!! She was on-site a few hours prior to ceremony start to capture those fun "getting ready" moments for both myself and the groom and the ceremony space before and as guests arrived. During both the first-look and the ceremony, Elizabeth closely captured all the emotions PERFECTLY...and yet the camera's presence didn't feel intrusive at all!
The rest of the night was photographed seamlessly, from family portraits to guests at their individual tables, to a socially-distanced group picture, our first dance, dinner menu options, the cake-cutting, and the bouquet toss...every little detail was captured!! By the time Elizabeth told us it was time for her to leave, we were honestly a little bummed..she absolutely felt like a friend leaving the wedding early!
We received a few sneak peek shots a few days later...and they LITERALLY BROUGHT TEARS TO OUR EYES! They we're STUNNING. Once we got access to our entire wedding gallery about 3 weeks later...we were amazed to see our little (pandemic) fairy tale captured so beautifully on film. As we shared different shots on social media and with family, everyone commented on how gorgeous they were and how stellar our photographer was! We had just enough time to use some of these photos for a Christmas card, which Elizabeth quickly designed, and our friends/family loved!
We're now in the process of choosing photos for different wall art pieces, which we can't wait to have in our home as forever keepsakes. As other opportunities for photoshoots or portrait sessions arise in years to come, we know EXACTLY who we will be hiring- and we'll be recommending only Clivabeth Photography to anyone in need!
Thank you again, Elizabeth! You are simply AMAZING!
