“We used Liz for our engagement, wedding and now that our family is growing maternity and family photos. We could never use anyone else. She is so flexible and her photos are so enchanting. She has shot our family in rain, snow and sunshine. She has turned stressful family moments during the wedding or crazy toddlers, more recently, in to special memories. She always manages to catch us in our best light. She will also go above and beyond to make sure your get amazing shots. She recently shot a surprise proposal. She didn’t want to spoil the surprise by loitering in a park with a camera. So she set-up a fake photo shoot with our son so the future bride wouldn’t know. That is commitment! Also, she still managed get an another AMAZING picture of our son that day. 15/10 Hire her.”

“amazing photographer!”
Liz was the perfect person to capture our big day. She has such an eye for detail and the photos we’ve seen so far have blown us away. She is so kind and funny! She really melded well to our group and was so much fun to work with. I wanted ALL the pictures, while my husband didn’t want to spend as much time taking photos. Liz made sure we both got what we wanted and kept us laughing throughout the whole process. She was outstanding! I’m already thinking of the next event I can plan as an excuse to hire her again!“biggest heart for all her clients”
Liz is amazing!! She did our engagement and wedding photos and we will continue to use her for future pictures! She was more than willing to meet with me to go over our timeline and answer any questions I had regarding our wedding. She is so much fun to be around and has the biggest heart for all her clients!! I highly recommend Liz for any of your photo needs!! You won’t be disappointed!!“she’s flexible and oh so kind!”
I can’t say enough good things about Liz! Besides doing my personal family photos every year for the last 4 years, my kids’ senior portraits and my daughter’s engagement session, Liz has also done a lot of work for my clients. From product photos to corporate head shots, she has photographed everything from food, towing hitches, skin care products, buildings, non-profit events and court reporters. (Random but awesome!) She has even photographed the laser tattoo removal process for one of my clients! She is my go-to photographer for all of my client projects and personal photos. I highly recommend her – not only for her talent and skills but also for her great personality. Liz always has a “can-do” attitude about every project I’ve presented to her and has a teachable heart. She has a quick turnaround on deliverables and is SO easy to work with on everything. She’s flexible and oh so kind! You will not be disappointed if you hire Liz for your wedding, your family photos or corporate work of any kind.“so sweet”
She is so sweet and so fun to work with highly recommended!!“excellent photographer”
She was so easy to work with and has a fabulous humor. All of her pictures are absolutely stunning. Able to capture the little moments that will be cherished for rest of our lives.“relaxed and fun to work with”
Elisabeth recently photographed our wedding and we can’t say enough good things about her! She did our engagement session previously and we left saying “we should do this all the time” because it was just that fun! We are also not huge fans of being in front of the camera but Liz is so relaxed and fun to work with! We love all of the photos we received from the session and our wedding album. It was such a quick turn around to get our photos. Her husband, Kris, was our second shooter for the wedding and he got along great with the guys and the bridal party as a whole. It was so fun hanging out throughout the night – these are the photographers you want for your wedding because you will have so much fun with them throughout the many hours of taking photos on your wedding day! Elisabeth and Kris were so great at handling (and being flexible with) the timeline and sequence of family photos after the ceremony. For the day of the wedding, we were with Liz and Kris for around 12 hours and it felt like a couple of best friends by our side to capture the day! I would HIGHLY recommend Elisabeth as your photographer!“amazing service”
She’s been taking pictures of me and my wife for the last 5+years and she continues to be better than the year before. Amazing service and great value.“absolutely wonderful to work with”
My husband and I cannot say enough about Liz. From helping to make a freezing day for our engagement photos fun, to creating a wedding package unique to our needs, not to mention taking the most amazing wedding photographs that looked like they walked out of a bridal magazine. We were so thankful to have found Liz! Due to having a short engagement, we were excited that Liz had an opening to photograph our wedding. We had a great time meeting with her and planning the timeline of our wedding day. Upon arrival of the day, Liz was very understanding that there were changes in our timeline that day, (it wouldn’t be a wedding if everything went smoothly, right!?) and she was flexible to the changes that had been made. We could go on and on, but what matters most is that Liz took the most beautiful photographs that will help us cherish our special day for the rest of our lives. We received them back in less than a month after our wedding, she is very reasonably priced and was absolutely wonderful to work with! This photographer has talent! We cannot wait to see what she produces in the future!”“so easy to relax and not be anxious”
Working with Elisabeth was an absolute dream! She made me feel so beautiful and comfortable in my own skin. The way she talked and encouraged through our whole session was amazing, I didn’t really know what to expect going in because I had never had professional photos taken before but it was so easy to relax and not be anxious with her. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs photography done. The pictures turned out so good and the overall experience was phenomenal.“above & beyond!”

I highly recommend Elisabeth Marie Photography. We were very happy with the photos from our wedding day! We had 100% sunshine on our wedding day which was an added challenge for taking photos, but she did a great job finding shady spots on the wedding day that still showcased the venue beautifully. It was also extremely hot and humid on our wedding day, and yet she stayed positive, upbeat, and calm throughout the day!“makes me feel comfortable & beautiful”
If you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further! Liz is amazing! She has done my engagement, wedding, maternity and newborn photos! She always does a great job, she is so creative and just fun to work with. I honestly hate having my picture taken but she makes me feel comfortable and beautiful and she helps us have fun with it. For the newborn photos my son was not the most cooperative, however she had great patience with him. She is just a joy to work with. Thanks so much Liz!“has a way of capturing the moment, emotion and personality”
“We had worked with Elisabeth on a few family sessions so choosing her to do our son’s senior session was a bit of a no brainer. We love Elisabeth’s work! She has a way of capturing the moment, emotion and personality and she did it again for our son’s pictures. Our son even had fun with the session and the images turned out amazing. The hard part?? Choosing which images to print…we want them all!”“captured our true personalities”
If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, incredibly talented, and perfectly captures all of the special moments in your life, you must consider Elisabeth Vanderwall. She took absolutely stunning pictures of my wedding. She was so helpful and was always available for any questions I had. She is so easy to talk to and she makes you feel really comfortable and at ease. Liz is a true artist who uses her creativity to take elegant and tasteful pictures no matter the occasion. I couldn’t be happier with her service and expertise. I love looking through the pictures she took of me and my husband, she captured our true personalities and our love for each other. Highly recommend her!!!“awesome calming presence”
I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! She was quick to answer all of my questions and she had such an awesome calming presence that made the whole experience enjoyable rather than stressful. The day was perfect and my pictures are beautiful. I’m one happy bride!“patient with the small kids”
Liz did a wonderful job with our family photos. She was patient with the small kids and was fun to work with. We will definitely use her again!“able to capture josie’s spirit”
I had asked Elisabeth to take photos for my daughters senior pictures, after she had taken family photos of my extended family. It was such a fun experience with Liz (and her hubby Kris) as they navigated grouping twenty plus people. She had brought along chairs for some different seating/standing options, and was more than happy to take photos of each of my siblings families as well as full group pictures. It had gone so well I asked if she’d be interested in doing some photos of my daughter Josie for her senior year. I had some exact locations in mind; and Liz recommended some others, and the evening went perfect. She was able to capture Josie’s spirt, and draw out her fun side. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for “traditional” photos, as well as those looking to do or try something different. Liz will go above and beyond to capture the right look and feel, and will always be happy to try something new. She has the most infectious laugh, that I think will help her subjects be put at ease upon meeting her. I found her pricing right in line with other professionals, and she was prompt in returning analyzed photos to me. We were able to have them printed through her, or to take them elsewhere for printing which was really convenient. In a nutshell, both experiences were delightful. Thanks Liz!“has creative ideas and is open to any ideas that we had also”
“We have had Liz take photos for our family many times. Senior pics, family pics, baby pic, and wedding pic and she has always done a great Job! She has creative ideas and is open to any ideas that we had also! I have recommended her to friends and family before and always will. We love her and her work!”“10 out of 10 recommend”
