We couldn't help but feel pride in our good taste in people/artists when we chose Daniel to be our…read morephotographer -- he turned out not only to be an incredible professional behind the camera, but an utter joy to work with! What stood out about his portfolio is that people seem to genuinely be having *fun*. Since our first call he's been very curious about knowing us as people, and tuning his art direction to match our mood and vibe. True enough, Daniel brought such a warm, generous energy to orchestrating the morning photoshoots and really put the whole wedding party at ease, and the joy of our people really showed in our final photos, which had such an impressive range of styles and moods from candid and natural to goofy, epic, dynamic, emotional and romantic. What's more important to a wedding photo album than accurating capturing the whole gamut of emotions on the big day? A lot of our guests remarked on enjoying working with him, too. We now look back at our photos (and wedding in general) with nothing but warm memories of having had his considerable talents and delightful company on one of the most important days of our lives.

We absolutely loved working with Daniel and cannot recommend him highly enough as a wedding…read morephotographer. He exceeded our expectations in every possible way. We did both our complimentary engagement session and our wedding photos with him, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience or the results. Because Daniel knows our venue so well, he immediately guided us to the best locations and lighting for our family portraits and couples' shots. He was professional, kind, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. We're usually people who shy away from the camera, but he had this incredible ability to put us at ease and even make the process fun. He also went above and beyond--offering to come to our after-party to capture a few extra moments. Daniel worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors, which helped the entire day run smoothly. He was always prompt and thoughtful in his communication and even shared helpful vendor recommendations and last-minute wedding day tips. He managed to capture every major moment as well as the small, meaningful ones in a way that felt natural and true to the essence of our day. We absolutely adore our photos, and Daniel is a huge reason why our wedding day felt so special.

I rarely like photos of myself but loved the finished product! It was incredible that such a brief, easy 30-min session (and one booked last minute besides!) could yield so many amazing shots (that were delivered within days! I did the rush option). Not only were the photos spectacular, Hilary was also just truly such a joy to be around during the shoot - can't wait to recommend her to everyone I know looking for a photographer!!

We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. She's wonderful with our kids--whether it was a newborn, a fussy toddler, or now more cooperative school-aged kids, she's been able to capture beautiful moments through every stage. One year my younger daughter was especially shy and grumpy about photos, but you'd never know it from the gorgeous images Hilary delivered. She's also great with pets and even got our dog to "smile" at the camera for a few shots this year! We included my parents in a session one year, and Hilary handled the larger family group seamlessly. She also has a great eye for locations, whether it's a tried-and-true spot or somewhere new, and she always makes the most of the setting. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, especially since you get to keep all the images from your session, and she's always prompt with delivery. Hilary makes family photos stress-free and fun, and the results are consistently stunning--we look forward to working with her every year.

From the very beginning, Eric was incredibly responsive and helpful. Even before our shoot, he shared great tips and answered all our questions, which made us feel confident and excited going into the day. On the day of our wedding, Eric showed up early and was extremely professional. His talent and vision were clear right away. My husband and I aren't the most experienced when it comes to posing, but Eric guided us through everything so naturally. One of the best parts? The turnaround time. He sent us a sneak peek of the photos just a few hours after the shoot -- and they already looked amazing! By the next day, he sent over all the unedited photos so we could choose our favorites. The final edits came back in just a week, and you could tell he put a lot of time and effort into each image. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely kind photographer, I highly recommend Eric. He captured our special day beautifully and made the whole process easy and enjoyable!

Norm's skills are vast - from posed family group portraits, to a close up of the child at the torah, to the exuberance of 13-year olds dancing their hearts out - Norm is able to get it all. He has talent and experience. Norm also has amazing equipment that makes it possible to get shots like a close-up of the rabbi whispering in the child's ear from completely across the synagogue. Norm provides a set of "top-ten" photos usually within 24 hours which you can use on social media, and follows up with full resolution CDs pretty quickly. Norm offers a full menu of services, including working with you to create a photo book to forever preserve your family simcha. I recommend Norm for capturing the best moments of any special occasion!

I hire photographers for professional events and have a good sense of what I want. From the moment he setup, Norm never stopped shooting. The deluge of photos he delivered to me was spectacular. He captured special moments, gorgeous architecture, and many many photos of our guests. Because there were so many photos the occasional poor facial expression or closed eyes, that are beyond his control, were not a problem because there were always alternates. While it's not how he normally wants to work, he was also flexible in being booked late in the process. I would definitely hire him again.

The moment she turned that camera around and showed me, ME...I knew that this was an experience I would never forget. Wow! Today I walked away from my photo viewing and I am SO. Proud.Of myself! I cannot wait to share these with my husband, who already sees what these images and Christina helped me see. I cannot be more happy and grateful to have found Elle Division.
