Elise Trattner Photography

Elise photographed our wedding and was absolutely phenomenal! Elise is personable, responsive and artistic. She provided valuable guidance during the planning process and was flexible in her approach to fulfill our vision. On our wedding day, she was the right balance between directive and go with the flow. Our photos turned out stunningly beautiful and captured the emotion of the day perfectly.

My husband and I hired Elise for our wedding photography at the Stan Mansion in Chicago and cannot say enough good things about her! From day 1 she was extremely professional, warm and welcoming. Throughout the planning stage we had multiple phone consultations and always felt that she was very much a part of our team; she gave us great suggestions and helpful feedback without ever compromising our vision. Her responses to our questions prior to the wedding were timely, and the day of went off without a hitch. We were admittedly a bit nervous about being photographed all day and Elise made us feel so comfortable. She made sure to not only capture all of the staged family and bridal party portraits we outlined for her, but she also gave some amazing suggestions for creative poses and locations around the venue that we never would have thought of on our own. We would highly recommend Elise to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She is extremely talented and really cares about her clients and their experience.

Elise is the kindest soul and has the most phenomenal eye. I never knew I could love pictures of my fianc and myself so much until Elise took photos of us. I have literally looked at them at least once a week since she sent them to us and love any opportunity to show them to friends and family. What I love most about Elise is that she gets to know her subjects, whats important to them, and makes sure that shines through in the photos. My fianc often gets annoyed when I try and get the perfect photo. but in the ones Elise took, you can tell the genuine level of happiness and joy in my fiancs expression. Elise finds a way to connect with her subjects and help them become comfortable enough to be their trueselves. She manages to capture emotion that I didnt even know was possible to capture. Everyone who has seen our photos has said - the love between the two of you is so real in these. If Elise takes photos of you, you wont be disappointed!!!
