He helped a ton by finding a new proposal spot after the one we had planned on was taken up by a wedding we didn’t know was going to happen. He then got some great pictures and talked to me and my now fiancée with professionalism, he helped me a ton and would recommend him to anyone needing a photographer

Eli was great. We had to get a last minute photographer after our original one flaked on us. We went through Thumbtack and he had good reviews and his portfolio was solid. He responded immediately. The day of he was flexible and got all the shots we needed. I wish he was with us from the start. The turn around time for the gallery as well as the edited photos was super fast. Thanks again!

Eli provided us with beautiful photos of our event, capturing both candid and posed images of our family with a quick turnaround time. He was on time, responded to all my queries prior to the event almost immediately, and knew how to engage with my guests to get them looking their best on the photos. I would absolutely work with him again!
