About Developing Diamonds Photography LLC
Developing Diamonds Photography LLC
My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!
I am a full time event photographer and capturing these monumental moments for all the great couples I've worked with has been such an honor of mine. I truly love being able to tell stories with my craft and freeze these beautiful moments for people. I take pride in my work and I take my craft very seriously. Wedding and event photography is everything to me and all i do, so I am always available for my couples and I take a lot of pride in my communication. I also provide same-day sneak peeks as well as a drone video so my couples can relive their day instantly!

Best Decision We Could Have Made!
Hiring Elliot was, hands-down, the best decision we made while planning our elopement. We were worried he'd not want to hike with us at Starved Rock State Park after our ceremony, but he was stoked to go on the adventure with us. He got to our ceremony spot with time to spare and was able to capture us gathering our 5 witnesses and walking them to the ceremony spot. Our ceremony pictures are so emotional. Elliot has a gift for capturing the depth of emotion being felt. He got beautiful photos of us with our parents that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. After the ceremony, we hiked for THREE HOURS!!! in and out of the canyons at Starved Rock State Park. The photos we got can only be described as fuc*ing epic. There were two canyons in particular I wanted to have photos taken and we were able to do both and so much before, after, and in between. We also got an insanely gorgeous video shot with drone footage, that we used to announce our elopement to our family and friends. We also got our sneak peaks back so fast! He was really good at directing us, especially as a couple who has never taken professional photos together before. He just made the whole process, the entire day, so much fun. We genuinely had such a great time and they are memories that we will never forget! Elliot was on time, professional, friendly, an expert in his field, and he did an absolutely outstanding job at capturing the most magical day of our lives. I still cannot believe these are OUR wedding photos. Thank you for everything, Elliot!
Perfect for our small wedding
Elliot and our photographer Angie were very professional and great to work with. Angie met us in Milwaukee and traveled to a few different areas to take photos in locations that were special to us. The photos turned out beautifully and perfectly captured our special day.
Efficient and talented
We had an amazing experience with Elliot! He was efficient, flexible when we needed him, and made us feel comfortable through the whole process. The photos turned out beautiful and he had them back to us very quickly! We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend him to anyone looking for stunning, memorable wedding photos!
White Wedding
We couldn't be happier with Elliot at Developing Diamonds Photography LLC! From the moment we first contacted him, he was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. He was on time, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire day. His professionalism was unmatched, but it was his talent that truly blew us away. The photos are absolutely stunning, capturing every beautiful moment perfectly. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our special day!
