Wedding Photography 

for those in love

Elevated

Classic moments, joyfully captured

Whimsy

This is photography for couples who value beauty with whimsy, timelessness with ease, and moments that feel as good as they look.

The scrunched-nose laughter.
The almost unnoticed glances 
The just-formed memories of joy.
The connection that says: 
I chose you forever

The months of planning, dreaming, and anticipation — now unfolding in real time.
And I’m there, by your side, capturing it all with intention and heart.

LOVE NOTES

 Elizabeth Hoard Photography (11 of 33).jpg

"Depth of emotional intelligence"

"We found Elizabeth to be highly professional, responsive, and pleasant to work with. Elizabeth was our photographer for the entire weekend. She covered the rehearsal dinner, a post dinner party, the wedding ceremony as well as the reception, so she had to interact with both sets of families. It was refreshing to work with someone so accommodating and resilient considering the number of venues, occasions and locations she had to cover. Elizabeth was engaging yet unobtrusive throughout. Once we received the photos, we were amazed by the depth of the emotional intelligence conveyed through her stunning work. Nothing had escaped her gifted and artistic photographer’s eye, and many of her photos elicited an emotional response, whether it was tears or joyful laughter. We would highly recommend Elizabeth - without reservation - to anyone who is planning a special occasion and wishes to capture its most beautiful and tender life moments.

From start

to finish

Photography shouldn't just be about receiving pictures. It should be about receiving an experience you can take with you for the rest of your life. 

With over a decade of experience, I bring a personalized touch to your wedding celebration. Immerse yourself in a blend of stunning candid moments, joyful formals, and curated detail imagery that collectively narrate the enchanting story of your wedding weekend.


When you look back on your wedding imagery you will see your real smiles, your real emotions, the real 'you'.

1 // A Curated Experience

I care about you - what you want and don’t want -taking the time to understand your preferences, needs, and tastes so we can curate a shooting experience that reflects how you envision your big day, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach

2 // Collaborative Planning & Communication

I collaborate closely with you and your wedding planner to ensure every detail is perfectly aligned, providing seamless planning and prompt communication every step of the way.

3 // Calming Presence

I bring an empathetic eye to reading the room, intuitively knowing when to lean into a moment and when to give you space - because knowing when to lead and when to step back is key to helping you feel calm & secure the whole time.

No fake smiles here during portrait time. Every prompting comes with intention so all of your interactions feel natural, authentic, and feel of meaning. 

5 // Highly Experienced, Always Learning

I'm constantly learning the latest trends, methods, and equipment to bring you the most current ideas - while always honoring the traditions that matter most to you.

6 // Your Details Matter

Your paper goods, flowers, design, signature cocktails, and late-night party snacks—all these details matter. I’m always seeking the hero angles and dedicate time each wedding day to thoughtfully capture your full story through the details.
