We love people and are passionate about wedding pictures! My background is in fine art having worked for 20 years as an artist, exhibiting and painting in oils and graphic media. My granddad was a wedding photographer too, and my great granddad also a photographer, printing his pictures on glass. My sister is a landscape photographer and my son an acclaimed music, travel, and magazine photographer, so it must be in our blood!
Jorge is a talented videographer and editor, whose background is in Cuban national TV working on dramas and films, doing sound design for large stage productions, concerts, news, and conferences. My daughter and granddaughter also work with us when needed.
Elaine did an amazing job at my wedding on on 28th October she was very polite, talkative and helpful. she asked us prior to having our photos taken how we wanted our wedding photos we said simple and not posed just natural. she was always hidden but takes the most perfect photos we had previews of the photos from the wedding and we love everyone one of them their isn't one I don't like. We asked Elaine prior to the wedding did she want any food ordering as she would need it and we saw how well she was interacting with our little girl at the meal it was the most cute moment how she was sat with her. we loved every aspect of how Elaine captured all the key details especially the bee theme thank you Elaine highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a bubbly and fun outgoing photographer
very professional, friendly and good at their job. make people feel at ease.
Dynamic professional with thorough approach to photography for serviced rooms. Very generous with her time, insights and helpful suggestions. Happy to recommended Elaine for her photography.
Elaine was absolutely fabulous, crazy and wonderful! Exactly my kind of person, and EXACTLY the person to take the photos for our Big Day! She was continually snapping away throughout the entire day and evening... Whilst chatting to guests and making everyone feel at ease. This enabled her to get real life shots and real life situations.... Laughter, fun and love were captured in every shot! We would not have chosen any other photographer and would certainly recommend her. Five stars all the way. Thanks again Elaine xxx
Thank you Elaine for your fabulous wedding photos. The quality of the pictures are so fantastic and I was blown away by the wedding album, I have never seen one done to that standard! Thanks again for all of your hard work and constant updates!! Would definitely recommend xxx
This lady knows her stuff and is absolutely fantastic. Elaine your are a true artist. Thank you for capturing our wonderful day.
Wow, is the word! Elaine, you are simply wonderful, professional and energetic. I can't stop looking at your pictures. They bring images to life
"I would just like to say a very big thank you for your excellent service. Thank you for capturing our special moments. You are very talented and have an amazing sense of humour which makes everyone really comfortable. Your doing an amazing job.
Thanks a lot xx"
Elaine I just wanna thank you for all your hard work on my wedding day, you did an absolutely brilliant job and I am over the moon with the pictures I have seen so far. Many thanks. :)
Elaine was amazing made she felt like part of the family, Elaine made having photos taken a real fun experience, the pictures really bring the day to life, what a spirited interesting lady, we will all miss you, especially Tristan who really took a shine to you thankyou xxx
Thank you Elaina for your fabulous wedding photos
"Elaine has covered several events with us at Crossley House in Halifax.
I have yet to see a photographer who captures moments the way she does.
I have no doubt the diversity and countries around the world that she captures in a single month is more than most people will see in a lifetime!"
Elaine made our wedding day a great experience for me and my husband. She was positive, cheerful and so pleasant that we were put at easy and she brought the best out of us as a couple in the pictures. Everyone who has seen our couple pictures have told us that they should be on a magazine cover. She captured even special moment and made it a great memory for us captured on film. Love you Elaine x
Elaine made our day a really enjoyable experience, I hate having my photo taken at the best of times especially if I'm required to pose but Elaine captured natural moments on film without people even knowing she was photographing them. Elaine is a lovely warm, friendly lady and I will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know. So many thanks from Stephen and Clair Pritchard. X
The nicest most talented duo. Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you to both Elaine and Jorge for their outstandingly hard work at our wedding recently! We couldn't have asked for more, you gave everything and everyone who you sat with said how wonderful you both were :) If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will capture your day perfectly, look no further than Elaine and Jorge! Outstanding work!
Elaine has been out of this world for me. She did my wedding photography 5 years ago in the Gambia. It was such a blessing to have had her there. Looking at my wedding album...i still feel like it was only yesterday! Quality of the photos were superb and my husband and I still get the loviest comments on the album as well as the wedding. Thank you so much Elaine for your hard work then and patience. I am so glad that she continues to capture priceless moments for people and would recommend her with no reservations. Her work speaks for itself. Thank you for being part of the beautiful journey with us. 5 stars all the way
Well naturally as wedding photographers, we offer natural wedding photography, but also try to get all your lovely family photos during the wedding day. We can also document your day on video, so you have moving memories to share with future generations too! Then after your wedding if you would like us to design you an artistic wedding album, just let me know! xx Elaine
You can have whatever you want, as we don't do packages as such, but tailor everything to suit your needs. We stay as long as you like on the day too, edit all your wedding photos or video and give you the edited digital files afterwards. This can take longer than you think, several weeks or more particularly at busy times, but we always aim to get a few on our Facebook Page straight away for you and everyone to see. (REEL Life Photos)
We can do more than one wedding, as there are three of us, but can only cover one per photographer or videographer.
Natural, happy, relaxed images, that show your emotions, without forcing you to pose all day, though of course the only way to get you both together is to ask you to be together in the same spot #, as brides and grooms are usually too busy chatting to their separate friends and family members all day to actually talk to each other!
The best!
I usually post photos to REEL Life Photos Facebook page, but when this is not acceptable then we have other options on our website.
You choose! The flea in my ear gets theirs the quickest! Obviously at busy times of the year, too many fleas would be painful!
If the photo expression is worth having, then you will get it. No-one wants a bad photo of themselves! When I first started as a wedding photographer I was sent out with three rolls of 36 exposure film, and told to bring back 72 good photos. (72 out of a possible 18 images - in case you struggle with maths.! )
Think this question has already been answered above? We are a family business, so its just us! We;ve been in the same place for 20 years so are easy to find.
Yes, up to two additional photographers, but in 20 years of being a full time wedding photographer, I've never missed a day through illness!
Am sure you love looking at wedding photos, so yes of course the intellectual copyright is ours, but we are aware that certain clients, for religious or other reasons may not want their photos online or in the public domain at all, so we respect that position too, if made aware of your wishes before your wedding. You get the license to use them as you wish, print or otherwise of course!
I have been a full time wedding photographer since 2000, and taking photos for many more years besides that.
Natural wedding pictures to tell the story of your day in images. We can also create an exciting slideshow with your favourite images set to music of your choice.
