Elmo, you truly are an artist. My wife and I are so impressed by the results of our wedding photos and could not be happier. Elmo was so professional, kind, and talented throughout the entire day. He went above and beyond our expectations as a photographer. He was able to capture a wide range of moments on our wedding day. You can really feel his passion pour out as he works and really made the experience exceptional for us. Everyone family and friends were happy with his cheerful attitude. Would love to have him back for future events and we are so thankful to have had him capture all our wedding memories. Wish I could give more stars.

Hire him!! Elmo was phenomenal. My wedding gift to my best friend the bride was the photography. It was nerve wracking to take that on as I did not have a referral and chose St. Elmo solely based on the website and reviews. Elmo is an expert at putting people at ease, blending in with the crowd, getting natural shots as well as posed photos. When I need a photographer again, I will hire him. I recommend him without reservation . You will not regret it.,, hire him...

We had a corporate event and wanted an employee group picture taken. Elmo was punctual to our event and his attention to detail throughout our time with him was evident. He was very courteous to everyone and was very outgoing with our group. We had a special expedited turnaround request to have the pictures edited and emailed to us so that we could put together special mementos for our employees the next day. Elmo had the pictures sent to my inbox within a few hours of taking them! Our CEO was happy with the result and now the photos are on everyone's desk to enjoy! THANK YOU, ELMO!

Elmo is super awesome! He was my clutch photographer for my special day. I had been going back and forth with the scale of my big day, and finally decided to just have an intimate ceremony last min. I literally planned this in two weeks. He was the third person I spoke to, he promptly got back with me and was even accommodating with his time. Even though this was last minute, he provided so much more than I was expecting. My pictures and video came out super nice and I appreciated his creativity. He has a wonderful presence and I would be sure to use him for future events. Thank you Elmo ~ The Happy Couple (Mr. & Mrs. Yisrael)
