We cannot say enough good things about Elliot and Developing Diamonds Photography! From the moment we booked with him, communication was incredibly easy. He was always quick to respond, answered every question we had leading up to the wedding, and made us feel confident that we were in good hands.
On the wedding day, Elliot’s experience really showed. He knew exactly what he was doing and kept things moving efficiently without making anything feel rushed or stressful. His experience and professionalism made the photography portion of our day feel effortless, and we always knew what to expect.
And of course, the photos are absolutely beautiful. He captured not only all of the big moments, but also the little details and sentimental moments that meant so much to us. Looking through our gallery has been like getting to relive our wedding day all over again.
We are so happy we chose Elliot to capture such an important day for us. He was professional, responsive, experienced, and genuinely wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend Developing Diamonds Photography to anyone looking for a weddingphotographer!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Elliot and his team! Elliot was extremely responsive throughout the entire planning process and was so helpful when it came to building and tweaking our photography timeline leading up to the big day.
Elliot has such an incredible eye for editing and is a talented photographer. The photos are high-quality, professional, and beautifully capture both the big moments and all of the little candid moments throughout the day. Angela did an amazing job capturing so many of those candid moments, and we love looking back and seeing moments we didn’t even realize were happening!
When Mother Nature intervened and we had to make some last-minute changes to our photo schedule, they were incredibly flexible and rolled with everything so seamlessly. Angela made us feel comfortable, natural, and—most importantly—like ourselves. She even managed to make taking photos fun when the groom isn’t exactly the biggest fan of being in front of the camera. 🤪
We received sneak peeks the week of our wedding and our full gallery within about a month to six weeks. We absolutely love our photos and feel like they captured our wedding day so perfectly. We would highly recommend Elliot and his team at Developing Diamonds to any couple looking for talented, professional, flexible, and genuinely wonderful photographers!

Elliot was absolutely amazing, and we couldn't be happier with our weddingphotos! He made the entire process so easy and stress-free, which meant we could just enjoy our day without worrying about a thing. We received our sneak peek photos just a couple of days after the wedding, and our full gallery only four weeks later—which was incredibly fast! We highly recommend Elliot to anyone looking for a talented, professional photographer who truly delivers beautiful memories.

This allows us the opportunity to get to know each other better and talk about the expectations and agenda for their day.
