About
Raw But Meaningful Photography is led by Elijah Sanchez, a Philadelphia-based photographer specializing in portraits, weddings, events, and commercial work. My approach is grounded in presence, comfort, and honest connection—creating images that feel natural, lived-in, and true to the moment. With a decades worth of experience, I bring a calm, intentional energy to every session. Whether I’m working in the studio or on location, my goal is always the same: to make the experience feel relaxed while delivering imagery that’s thoughtful, polished, and meaningful. From personal milestones to professional branding, live events, and weddings each project is approached with care and attention to detail. If you’re looking for photography that feels authentic rather than forced, I’d love to connect and learn more about what you’re planning.

We hired Elijah to do my friends pregnancy photo shoot. He was so responsive to our messages and very helpful. The pictures turned out absolutely stunning. I would recommend 10 out of 10 to book with him!

Raw but meaningful did an incredible job on photos that were very important to my wife and I. We wanted to announce to our friends and family that we were expecting a baby and he was able to capture all our ideas. Great quality and photo and a ton of patience to make sure we got the right shots. Thank you!

Our photographer Elijah was professional From the beginning! He responded right away to a request for a photographer for a quinceanera, he got in contact with us verbally and discussed our wants and needs, and checked in with us throughout the planning. The day of the event he was on time, professional and immediately got to work. He took amazing photographs throughout the evening from start to finish and went above and beyond for us. The photographs are stunning!
