We had the BEST experience working with Lisa! She captured the engagement and then had our engagement shoot! Best idea ever, total surprise to me! She was so sweet, fun, and professional. We got sneak peak photos super quick and we were SO IMPRESSED with how they turned out! My favorite pictures ever were taken by her!

From start to finish, my husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lisa! We were visiting San Diego from out of town and right away she was so responsive and helpful in providing recommendations and ideas based on what we were looking for with our photo session. She recommended Windasnea beach which was beautiful, and she made the session SO much fun! Lisa went to great lengths to get beautiful shots of us and the scenery, and we had so much fun following her direction and input. The photos are amazing and we are so happy with our experience! We will definitely use her again if we return to San Diego in the future.

Lisa is amazing! She did a fabulous job capturing my proposal, and doing an impromptu engagement shoot. She was very collaborative, kind, and made the whole experience really special! And (most importantly) the pictures turned out AMAZINGLY! We are super happy with the whole experience, and would recommend Lisa and Elle G photography to anyone!

After looking into a number of photographers in SD, I went ahead and reached out to Lisa. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism, knowledge and passion of photography and her knowledge of the area. I mentioned to her that I wanted to propose to my gf on the beach and I knew I had made the right choice when she started to pinpoint the most optimal time to take great photos based on sunlight and low tide hours.

My fiancee was late to her own (surprise) proposal! Lisa was incredibly patient with us and made the best of the situation. I had high expectations for Lisa when it came to receiving the edited photos and she completely blew me away! Her work was so incredible and we had our photos in such a short amount of time. Her positive energy made our session so much fun. Don't hesitate to give Lisa a call! She listens to your wants/needs and has the know-how to make it happen. -Daniel

It was an absolute pleasure working with Lisa-she is communicative, warm, and most importantly an expert at what she does. Our engagement photos blew us away! We were AMAZED by the high quality shots and it truly was a magical shoot at Coronado beach. Lisa put us at ease, worked quickly and without hesitation, and was extremely fast with editing. Look no further for your engagement photographer.

My pup and I had a blast taking pictures with Elle G Photography and the photos turned out beautifully! Lisa (the photographer) has an eye for beauty and unmatchable skill for capturing it on camera. This is evident if you follow her Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/ellegphoto/ I had never done a professional photoshoot before so really had no idea what to expect. Lisa, my pup, and I drove around to a few different sites in La Jolla for "on location" shots to take advantage of the stunning scenery La Jolla has to offer. Lisa is so creative and took the lead in suggesting all sorts of different backdrops for artistically crafted and dynamic shots.

We took photos in front of the setting sun over the ocean, posing in front of the fancy homes in La Jolla, and driving through the town in my convertible. My pup and I felt like real models for the day and had so much fun! Lisa was a pleasure to work with and I enjoyed the pictures and experience so much that I went back a second time and took photos with her again! I highly recommend Elle G Photography if you are looking for breathtaking, creative, original photos to be able to treasure forever.
