Elisabeth Arin Photography

We love Lisa! We hired her for the engagement and wedding photo shoot, and that’s one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
She took the time to meet with us via Skype, which in turn allowed us to better understand her style and approach. She made us feel comfortable through the process and selecting the right package that would work for us. Lisa is transparent, upfront and isn’t pushy. She’s responsive too, so you won’t have a hard time hearing back from her!
Lisa was also really helpful in figuring out the sequence and duration of photo shoot for our wedding party and family members on our wedding day. That took some of our stress away!
One of the biggest factors in selecting our wedding photographer is finding someone who we can trust and know would deliver great results (we’re picky). Lisa is definitely that and I’d recommend her to my friends and anyone who’s considering her service!
Keep up the great work and customer service, Lisa!

I reviewed Lisa earlier this year to compliment her on her amazing professionalism with all of my questions regarding our wedding, scheduling, and day-​of photography (I had a bunch of questions!) On the day of our wedding, she showed a natural gift working with us, both of our families, and even got my niece and nephew to smile when they were so nervous! I have been looking forward to seeing the photos ever since we got married. We received our pictures yesterday and words can’t even begin to express how happy my husband and I are with them! She is truly talented at what she does. I couldn’t be happier with them! She’s the best!

Lisa was a dream to work with. We met over Skype and she was very accommodating with out long distance circumstances. I met her in person the day of the wedding and she did a wonderful job keeping us on time and everyone at ease.
My husband and I could not be MORE impressed with the quality of photos we received from our wedding. I look at them everyday! She has an incredible eye and captured our favorite day beautifully. We could not ask for more from her and we will cherish her photos forever!

If you are looking for someone who has an amazing eye for detail, composition and is a pleasure to work with, then look no further! Lisa is not only the sweetest, but she is super talented at what she does! I always enjoy her work as well as working with her!

I am so thankful Lisa did my fiancé and my engagement photos. I was nervous leading up to taking engagement photos, thinking I wouldn’t be able to look natural or that it might be awkward. But it was completely Lisa who made us feel so comfortable that looking natural came easy.
Not only do we adore our photos, but we actually had a lot of fun taking the photos as well! Lisa had emailed me a few locations she had scouted, depending on the mood/​look we wanted. I love that she put so much thought into it, and it made it that much more personal. When we were shooting, she was so much fun with her directing and commenting «so romantic!!» It made us laugh and feel at ease.
We didn’t have much of a budget (well none really) for printing, but Lisa made us feel so special and our CD was beautifully wrapped and hand-​made and so lovely. She even did a few extra artistic photos on our CD which are gorgeous.
Lisa is so talented. She is the photographer you want if you want to feel like yourself, and look like a natural. Everyone who sees our photos asks who our photographer was, and tells us they’re the most beautiful engagement photos they’ve seen.
We so look forward to having Lisa shoot our wedding!

Lisa with Elisabeth Arin Photography is an exceptionally talented photographer. Not only does she capture amazing shots, but she is so easy to work with and a joy to be around.
She photographed our Engagement photos and most recently after my son was born, Lisa was able to do our newborn photo session. As some of you may know newborns are not the easiest of subjects. Lisa knew exactly what to do with the baby, how to pose him and she was so patient and loving. The photos Lisa took during the photo session were AMAZING, you can see the pure joy and love on our faces as we hold our son and gaze into his sweet eyes. We cannot thank you enough for giving us these photos that we will treasure forever!
Lisa has become our family photographer and we will continue to have her capture milestones as our family grows. I can’t wait for our next photo shoot!

Lisa came highly recommended by a good friend and did not disappoint. Looking back on all of our wedding photos and seeing how deftly she captured all of the priceless moments is quite impressive. Thanks to her we can relive this special day over and over again. Thank you so much Lisa!

Can’t say enough good things about Lisa. She photographed our wedding (and engagement photos). We spent a LONG time going through potential photographers’ portfolios. We really liked how she was able to capture people in a natural way and the way that she incorporated nature into the photos.
I was a little nervous about getting my photo taken, but Lisa really made me feel comfortable. The photos turned out great!

My fiancé and I are so excited to work with Lisa for our wedding in April 2014! We did our engagement photos in late June and could not be happier with the results!
From day one Lisa was very quick to get back to us. We set up a time to meet over coffee and I walked away knowing that Lisa was a great fit! She does wonderful work and put us at ease during the engagement session. Photos came back quickly and I just sent one off to print for our Save the Dates!
I would definitely recommend Lisa at Elisabeth Arin Photography, can’t wait for April!

My fiancé and I searched far and wide for a photographer for our wedding. We decided to work with Lisa (Elisabeth Arin Photography) after meeting with her over coffee — she has such a warm, inviting personality and immediately put us at ease. Her rates were also the most competitive we found in relation to her talent (which is great).
We recently had our engagement photo session, something we were both quite nervous about. Although we arrived feeling awkward, Lisa immediately made us feel natural and helped ease our jitters. What I appreciated most was her willingness to help shape a photography session that captured our personalities perfectly. My fiancé and I met and live in Midtown Sacramento, and we really wanted our engagement photos to serve as a snapshot of our lives and who we are as a couple. Lisa scouted out locations and orchestrated a photo shoot that is a perfect time capsule of our relationship today.
We are thrilled with our photos. Lisa really has a knack for capturing light and the beauty of the environment. She posted a couple «sneak peak» photos just two days after our photo shoot, and we received photos of the complete session on a beautifully wrapped disk just two weeks later.
Our wedding is in two months, and I am thrilled we have such a great photographer that we know we’ll feel comfortable with. One less thing to worry about on the big day!

I could not be happier with the experiences I have had thus far with Lisa from Elisabeth Arin Photography. When my fiancé and I got engaged I really felt that selecting a photographer was one of the most important components of planning the wedding. I am a very visual person and really want to preserve lasting memories of these special moments in a way that would capture the emotions and beauty of the occasion.
Our wedding is going to be next June, but we were able to schedule an engagement shoot with Lisa last month and I was so impressed with her that I couldn’t wait to write a review. Here are the reasons that I am really excited that Lisa will be the one shooting our wedding:
1. Communication: From my first inquiry Lisa has always responded quickly and clearly to any questions I have had and has gone over and above to provide us with helpful information (sharing a pinterest board of outfit suggestions). She also has wanted to get a sense of who my fiancé and I are and has worked to try to find ways of personalizing our photos (finding settings to shoot our engagement that fit with our interests).
2. Puts you at Ease: My fiancé was not excited about the photography component of this whole getting married thing. We had done a photo shoot together once before and he hated it — said he felt totally uncomfortable. Our experience on the engagement shoot with Lisa was totally different for him. He stated afterwards, «that wasn’t so bad… actually it was kind of fun and she was really nice.» He even went on to say that maybe spending some time taking photos at the wedding would not be so bad after all!
3. Beautiful Work: The photos we got back from Lisa are just gorgeous! I really couldn’t imagine better images that really capture our love for each other and are very flattering. Her composition is artistic and romantic. I just LOVE the pictures! Also, as a side note, the CD of images she sent us of the engagement shoot was personalized with a photo of us and packaged in a beautiful way. It was so exciting to open up that package!
4. Timely: Not only is Lisa timely in responding to emails and other communications, but she also is very timely with getting photos edited and to you. She told us that she posts sneak peak images on facebook within a few days and would have the shoot edited within 2 weeks. Her timing was exactly as she had stated and as soon as she posted the edited images she mailed off a copy of all of our edited images to us — which we now own the rights to according to her contract. I have worked with a number of photographers and often timeliness is my biggest complaint, but Lisa was perfect!
5. Financially Reasonable: My fiancé and I are on a bit of a tight budget, and though photography is important to me, we just couldn’t spend a fortune on it. I looked at a lot of the photographers in the area and I found Elisabeth Arin Photography to be reasonably priced with no loss in quality of what you get. You also get rights to all the digital images so that you can use the images as you like in the years ahead.
