    Elliot Bear Photography and Lani was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Her communication style was professional yet she took the time to make us feel comfortable and got to know us, and their work was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, they were positive, personable, and communicative, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. They captured so many special moments that we didn't even realize were happening, and those have become some of our most cherished memories. It was so easy to work with her, and we are thrilled with the beautiful, natural photographs that now allow us to relive our wedding day over and over again. We couldn't recommend Elliot Bear Photography and Lani highly enough.
