About Developing Diamonds Photography LLC

Developing Diamonds Photography LLC

Photographer/Owner

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!

    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!

    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!

    Elliot and I worked together as vendors on a wedding in November of 2024. Elliot was the couple's photographer and I was the videographer. The day went incredibly smooth and I had fun filming alongside Elliot. We were both able to get creative shots and communication was extremely easy. The dynamic between us was pretty devoid of stress, and that's how it should be! The couple was incredibly kind and laidback too, so it was a really pleasant day and evening.

    We could not be happier with the overall experience we had with Developing Diamonds Photography for our engagement session and wedding day! Both our engagement photos and our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking. Elliot and Andrew were so incredibly fun to work with, yet so professional, on time, and made the whole process super easy for everyone involved. If we ever need professional pictures in the future, I know who we will be contacting. And we will definitely be recommending to everyone we can!!!
