Did I stand over my phone for about 3 minutes before I decided to be cringy in public to make this reel?? 😅

Yes. Yes I did.

So please give it some love to offset the second hand embarrassment 😆

In all seriousness, I’m just a girl who gets to travel for weddings and I honestly can’t believe I’m this lucky in life!! I cannot wait to share more from this UNREAL SAN Fransisco City hall elopement.

Something only experience has taught me,

+ pinning a veil back into hair quickly or taking it out without messing up the hairstyle.
+ bustling a wedding dress of any kind. From three points to 12 and multi layered.
+ holding up your train when we walk from different locations to minimize the dirt on the trim.

And so much more than just the photography side of the job. And I love it all because when my brides are happy and stress free, I am happy and stress free!

This one is for my families, new and old!

Whether you took family photos recently or it’s been a few years or maybe you have new family members, it’s never a wrong time to have your photos taken. And tis the season!

Due to a last minute cancellation, I have a rare fall weekend date available and I am opening it up just for you!

Saturday November 14th I am opening up the whole day for family sessions. Morning fall vibes, afternoon playfulness and sunset golden hour, all gorgeous times of day. Up to 6 sessions available, first come first serve.

These will be 30 minute sessions with a week turnaround time on full galleries being delivered since it’s later in the fall season and I know so many of these precious photos are used for holiday cards.

If you’ve been wanting to book a session, to capture this season of life with your family, let’s chat!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Hi hi! 👋🏼

There are some new faces here and so I wanted to reintroduce myself in a professionally chill kinda way!

I’ve done posts about me and my business so instead, this time I wanted to share some of the more personal side of who runs this account, takes all the pretty pictures, keeps my finances in order and generally holds the whole Nelson Cinematic brand up to its highest standard.

“Hi! It’s Elizabeth! I’m glad you are here”.

I’ll let the slides do the talking and if your vibes match mine and you want chat about your photography needs, let’s chat!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

It’s the start of busy season and I am absolutely over the moon about this fall and all the memories I am about to capture!! 🥹🥹

Truly such a dream and I fall more in love with it every year it seems!

So a simple post today, featuring one of my absolute favorite film moments that I photographed while second shooting for Brenna Lee | Arizona + Destination Wedding Photographer at a wedding last weekend in Wisconsin 😍

Let’s talk about film vs digital.

The rise of film in the last 5 years has skyrocketed and that includes in the wedding industry. Since I am both a digital and film photographer, I thought I’d take a moment to break down the difference.

This one is for the grooms!!

Listen up gentleman 👏🏻 Social media and all of the wedding industry will try and say “it’s all for the bride. It’s the brides day. Anything for the bride”, but don’t listen to all of that. It’s your day too!!

You deserve a moment in the spotlight on your wedding day because it’s equally as important to you as it is your lovely bride. Plus, I can guarantee she wants to see pictures of you all dressed up, looking as handsome as ever, on the day you say “I do”.

I also know that it can feel super awkward to have your photos taken during the morning getting ready and other moments. It can feel like we are posing or being stiff BUT I love to take a different approach. I meet yall where you are at!

If you don’t want 15 photos of you posed with your jacket, don’t worry, we won’t prioritize that. Instead, I’ll grab candids of you messing around in the grooms suite just hanging with your best guys. Or maybe you are waiting eagerly before walking down the aisle or being tossed in the air by your best mates.

A bonus, when your groomsmen doing all the hyping up throughout the day! If those are the vibes, you bet I’m snapping photos of it. 🖤

Just remember, this day is about you too and I’m ready with my camera to make sure no moment is missed!

Truly one of the most precious engagement sessions at one of my favorite green spaces in the valley. Anyone who knows me, I’m going to find the green in the desert and take photos there. 💚

If you’ve been wanting to take photos with gorgeous greenery, this is the place!
