Testimonials

‘Elise is a wonderful photographer but even more than that, she is a wonderful person who has a gift for making people feel comfortable and at ease. Elise captured absolutely stunning photos for our engagement and we had such a fun time with her throughout the shoot too. She is professional and talented, warm, friendly and kind. It was easy to trust that even though some shots felt silly, they would turn out beautiful! Her eye for light and angles is magnificent, she is a hard worker and goes above and beyond what is required of her. We had such a fun day and now have some gorgeous photos to keep as very special memories.’

‘Elise has been fantastic to work with. She not only photographed our Wedding but also our Engagement Party the previous year. Elise made everyone feel comfortable and at ease throughout the planning process and on the day while photos were being taken. Elise got so many amazing shots of really special moments that we didn’t even realise were captured. We cannot thank Elise enough for all of her hard work and dedication in capturing memories that we will treasure forever.’

‘When you are looking for a photographer to take capture snapshots of your young family you look for three things; a highly skilled photographer, affordability and an easy, stress-free session and follow up. With Elise we hit the jackpot, getting all this and more! Not only are photos so wonderful they bring a tear to our eye each time we see them but the entire process for us was fun, fuss free and memorable for all the right reasons. Having photos taken with your family can actually be quite stressful, there is the pressure of getting the ‘perfect’ shot that you can hang on your walls forever. But what Elise managed to do was find ‘perfect’ shots within a perfectly ordinary, familiar, authentic morning spent at the beach as a family. Nothing was too much trouble for Elise, our photo shoot was very early on Boxing day morning at a beach our family has holidayed many times; you can’t get much more committed than someone who is willing to travel and get to an outdoor location the day after Christmas! Elise has an instinctive knack for reading people and offering calm, genuine, friendly interactions to make everyone feel relaxed and as ease. Our photos reflect the fun and relaxed feel of our shoot, in fact, some of the ‘best’ photos are those that Elise took when we were ‘finished’ our shoot and were on the way back to our cars. We couldn’t be happier with our photos, keepsakes that will last a lifetime, photos that reflect the love we feel as a family and the love that Elise has for her craft. Each time it is ‘time’ to capture our family as we grow and change, we will use Elise’s services and will recommend her to all our friends and family.’

‘Elise photographed our wedding day and did the most incredible job. Both myself and my husband usually hate the camera and are far from photogenic, but she put us at ease and made it all feel completely natural, and we actually enjoyed the whole process! The result is absolutely stunning and the memories captured are invaluable.’

‘Elise is A-MAZ-ING! Not only did she have to work with toddlers throwing tantrums, but it the middle of the city (at my request) anything could have gone wrong. She was warm, friendly, and totally on her game. The images she captured perfectly show the personalities of our family and the finished products will adorn our walls for years. It was just so easy to be around her. See you next time Elise.’

-Alexis

‘I had the pleasure of Elise Mezner doing a mini beach shoot for my family the results speak for themselves just beautiful…with 4 kids to snap at she captured their personality through the lens while making it fun for them all the time. She made us feel so relaxed which is what I wanted our photos to turn out like and they did. I highly recommend if anyone is considering family wedding and any special occasion Elise Mezner is your photographer to have. Thank you again we will be sure to have you again when they need updating.’

-Tracey

‘Elise Mezner you are amazing! You were so caring, flexible and patient with our family. One little man was so focussed on exploring nature that photos were not his focus during this shoot…you can see me having a quiet word in a few photos….was crossing my fingers for a couple of good shots and you captured so many beautiful pictures…if you can do this with us, you can do anything! Amazing! Thank you so much for capturing our kids love for exploring, nature, laughter and tickles. Xxx love these photos so much. Thanks for going above and beyond!’

‘Elise was warm, friendly and fun. She has the knack of making your feel comfortable around her and relaxed in front of the camera. She encouraged us to enjoy the moment, be yourself while she photographed the day. This enabled us to have a lot of fun during our photo shoot. Elise had a good balance of letting you have fun without interrupting but also having good guidance for getting more particular shots. We loved looking back at our photos which captured the moments and the memories of the day so authentically. We would highly recommend Elise to other couples looking to incorporate a relaxed, enjoyable time with special memories of the precious moments throughout the day’
