If I could click the five stars a million times I would! Choosing Drake & Eliza to capture our big day was and is one of the best wedding decisions we made. We met with several wed...
ding photographers while in the decision process. As a creative myself, this decision meant a lot to me. I was looking for sound quality photos, someone to capture real moments, not staged ones (even though those are nice, too!) and a photographer that wasn't intrusive. Looking at their work, I saw the true talent in the B&W shots Drake was showing us in the consultation. In these photos, the pretty green flowers and beautiful colors go away and give into the raw emotion of the photos. I was sold! During our engagement shoot, we were pretty nervous to have photos taken but Eliza made it FUN. Like real giggles and all! It was magical. At the wedding, Drake and Eliza paid close attention to our wants. Time was made for big family shots we wanted and the close up of the details of the day we wanted captured. They moved effortlessly (almost invisibly!) during the ceremony and reception doing their thing. Guests commented to us that they were impressed with them. Upon getting our gallery I was blown away. Our whole family and friends were! If you're just now looking for a photographer, put these guys at the top of your list. If you are on the fence, this is your gentle push onto their side. You will not regret your choice. Thank you, Drake & Eliza! Cheers.
Drake and Eliza were incredible, if we could give them 10 stars we would! We had an intimate little ceremony in the mountains and they captured the beauty of the wilderness and the...
special moments with our friends and family. If you are looking for photos that will capture the emotion of your special day, they are the perfect fit. We look back on our photos now and still get tearful as the photos bring us right back to that time and place. We are very lucky we found them! -Josh and Emily
One of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding day was hiring Drake & Eliza! We loved that as a husband and wife team they knew what images, moments and emotions we would want c...
aptured on our wedding day. They way they coordinated every shot and communicated how to best work together was what captured those special moments from different perspectives. Their ability to capture small moments, endearing exchanges and truly magical and beautiful images is exceptional. Their eye for detail is one I haven’t seen in other photographers and not to mention they are the coolest to be around and hang with all day! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable during every shoot. The images they captured for us are ones we will cherish for the rest of our lives!
Drake and Eliza were HANDS DOWN the best choice we made during our wedding planning. From the moment I found them on the Knot I have not stopped following the adventures of their a...
dorable family and the amazing work they do. From the very first meeting we knew they were the ones we wanted capturing our day. They truly mean it when they say they just want to be in the background capturing the most natural moments. It’s been almost a year but I still get lost looking through our gallery. The engagement session was a bit awkward at first but Eliza made it a walk in the park - literally! Then the day of, we barely knew they were there but they are such a great team and captured moments that we will remember forever. Not to mention the amazing edits they did! I can’t wait to get the chance to work with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for laid back, relaxed, professional, charming photographers!
Drake and Eliza are so talented! Their ability to capture details and memorable moments is truly special and unique. It doesn’t hurt that they are also extremely down to earth and ...
kind! Our photos are lovely, artistic, and very thoughtful, and we couldn’t have chosen better photographers. We are so happy with our experience!
As a photographer myself, I had high expectations for the not only the wedding photos but also the experience of being photographed. If you have any hesitations about choosing Drak...
e & Elisa, put those to the side! From the first contact, to the day of the wedding, I couldn't have asked for more. Drake was extremely professional, prompt, easy going and gave fantastic direction. He put my wife and I at ease during the formal photos, helped wrangle all the family for the big group shots, and was able to discretely take those candid photos during the reception. He perfectly captured out event and gave us the photos we had always dreamed of and will forever cherish.
If we could give more stars we would!!! Drake & Eliza could not have been better to work with. They are beyond talented and so attentive to details. We really felt like Drake & Eli...

We couldn't have asked for 2 better people!! They are so personable & have a way of making their photoshoots SO MUCH FUN!! You will not regret choosing Drake & Eliza!!
Drake & Eliza were the easiest and best wedding decision we made. As a photographer myself, this was the most important part of our day and Drake & Eliza exceeded all of our expect...
ations. These two have a way of storytelling through photos that is truly unique and remarkable. I love how their attention to details and candid moments ensured that we'll be able to really relive our wedding day forever, feeling all the feelings we did that day. I'm not kidding when I say each and every photo (all 600+ of them) are beautiful and special. I just want to wallpaper our home with them all!
Drake and Eliza was the BEST investment I made for our wedding, They were awesome to work with and our pictures were BEAUTIFUL. I literally can't say enough good things about them!...
I will treasure these pictures forever.
We can't say enough wonderful things about Drake & Eliza. Not only are they incredible people who put everyone in the family and wedding party at ease, their photos are just absolu...
tely stunning. We took pictures in our home, outside, inside our ballroom venue, and on a lighted patio in the evening, and every single photo is elegantly shot despite the changes in location and lighting. Drake & Eliza also captured so many special and intimate moments throughout the day and it will be a joy to relive those through their photography forever. Looking back on the whole wedding planning process, Drake & Eliza's photography is one we can honestly say is 1000% worth the investment.
Drake & Eliza have been beyond amazing to work with! They’re the most talented, sweetest couple ever! Their natural talent for photography and capturing the small, intimate moments...
is why we chose them and they have not disappointed us! We got married on 8.18.18 so it’s only been a couple of weeks, but we had sneak peaks within a day or two! And omg! The sneak peaks were so amazing! I can’t wait to see the rest. I have gotten so many compliments on our engagement pictures and sneak peak wedding pictures. Thank you so much Drake & Eliza for taking our magical, beautiful day and capturing it so it will last forever! <3
Drake and Eliza photographed our wedding in June of 2018 and our engagement pictures in the fall of 2017. From our very first email reaching out to them, they have been wonderful t...
o work with! Drake and Eliza took the time to get to know us and what we are about and were able to capture these genuine, emotional moments in their photographs.
Drake and Eliza are both go with the flow, easy going people, and in the hustle and bustle of a wedding day are able to float around almost unseen to capture moments of the groom, the bride, friends, family, etc. When looking at photographers, we wanted someone who could capture emotion and mood, not someone who was into the left over right, turn this way, etc. posted portraits. Drake and Eliza were able to capture us for what and who we were and turned those moments into an amazing gallery of photographs.
Drake and Eliza are both amazing individuals, who combined are somehow even better! We loved working with them and whenever a photography opportunity occurs again, they'll be our first contact!
There may not be words to describe the talent of Drake and Eliza. When I went searching for my wedding photographer, I was emotionally charged by the images on their website of oth...
er weddings. They were invested in us as a couple from the first email sent, taking time to get to know us as a couple. Not only were they absolutely amazing to work with on wedding day, our pictures are stunning. Thank you, both so much from the bottom of our hearts. You two are amazing!
It’s true when everyone says, “The photographs of your wedding are your memories.” The big day flies by so fast and Drake and Eliza perfectly captured our memories. Their style is ...
authentic, and though they will take the customary family photos, they also capture the moments you didn’t plan, you didn’t expect, and you won’t ever want to forget. Drake and Eliza were helpful during the planning process giving us an amazing recommendation for a florist. Our engagement shoot was what one of my bridesmaid says, “Is the stuff of dreams.” Drake and Eliza went above and beyond at our wedding and the photos they took will be treasured for a life time. I cannot recommend these two enough for engagement and wedding photographers.
Drake and Eliza were an absolute pleasure to work with. Throughout the engagement and wedding shoots, they took time to get to know us, share their vision with us, and make us and ...
our wedding guests comfortable. The result was hundreds of the most wonderful wedding photos I've ever seen!
What I love most about Drake and Eliza's work is that they have the ability to draw genuine moments out of scenarios that can otherwise easily look and feel posed or forced--they definitely shared that talent with us. In fact, Drake made our engagement shoot feel more like a fun date night (and that totally shows in out photos!).
Both he and Eliza were totally unobtrusive throughout the entire wedding day, and were completely patient with us, our guests, and all of our guests' cameras! Their ability to balance capturing every moment beautifully with the courtesy and professionalism they showed our guests was so important to my husband and I.
Drake and Eliza captured every detail of our day, our ceremony, and our DIY reception with a coherent and beautiful style, taking the time to focus on those pieces and moments that were particularly sentimental to my husband and I. I truly could not be happier with the way our photos turned out!
Drake and Eliza are so wonderful and incredibly talented! They made my camera-shy groom feel completely comfortable and natural. They catch every little detail and never made me fe...
el like I had a camera in my face.Our gallery was delivered very quickly and it exceeded my expectations. Every single photo was beautiful and so meaningful! I felt like I was reliving my night all over again because they did such a fabulous job of capturing our wedding!
We just got our wedding photos back and could not be more pleased with how they turned out. Drake and Eliza perfectly captured our day and we can relive every moment of it through ...
the photos they took. Highly highly highly recommend these two. They are so talented, easy to work with, and fun to be around! We cannot say enough good things about them.
We had Drake and Eliza photograph our whole wedding weekend for us this past December. From the very beginning, they made the whole "act natural while being photographed" seem so r...
elaxed and easy. Their photo style is amazing because the majority of all of our photos are candid moments that show the true emotions. For all of our shoots/events they were on time, super friendly to all of our guests, and worked great with our vendors. We were also so thrilled that we received all of our photos within 2 weeks of all of our shoots! Drake and Eliza in our opinion are some of the best out there and you cannot go wrong using them for any photos that you may want or need.
10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND! Drake and Eliza are fantastic; not only did we get our pictures back incredibly fast, but they are wonderful. This couple is amazingly talented, and super pe...
rsonable as well. They were like ghosts the whole night, but managed to capture everything from sweet hello's to an Irish dance off. In any of the guests pictures from the day where Drake or Eliza happened to be in the background they had the best smiles on their faces all night. Give them a shot and I know you'll love them!
Drake and Eliza were not only great to work with (professional, kind, very talented) but they're also just really wonderful people. They were able to put us at ease instantly, and ...
they made the entire process fun and not at all stressful. I am SO glad that we got to work with them and meet them - I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a wedding photographer!
Our photos with Drake and Eliza were everything we could possibly have imagined. Their style and creative vision makes them truly stand out amongst the best wedding photos we've s...
een. They were very easy to collaborate with and were flexible in shooting in two different locations. But Drake and Eliza went above and beyond by actually making our wedding experience feel even more special. We did an elopement and they arranged for us to have a first dance (something we hadn't even thought of) by playing our song on a portable speaker. They also made us feel more relaxed, therefore looking more natural, and made the photo session a truly enjoyable and memorable experience. Our time spent taking the photos was one of the very best parts of our wedding day. They were very quick in getting our photos to us, and we couldn't possibly be happier with the result.
We cannot say enough good things about Drake & Eliza! From our engagement session to our wedding day, Drake and Eliza made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They captu...
re real moments and genuine memories! When I was searching for a photographer, I landed on their page and fell in love with their photography style and editing style. Not only are Drake and Eliza the sweetest couple ever, but they are so great at capturing a perfect moment where when you look back at it, it seems so real! Needless to say, I absolutely loved Drake & Eliza Photography and I absolutely recommend them to anyone searching for a photographer for their big day!
What a romantic and charming photography team!!! Drake & Eliza are wonderful, dependable, and I highly recommend Drake & Eliza photography for anything and everything! I cheris...
h our candid precious moments captured on such a wonderful crazy whirlwind of a wedding day. I love looking at our engagement and wedding photos to relive the precious moments and special memories that will last forever.
I cannot rave enough about incredible our photographers are. Our wedding was in Cincinnati, and they are from Louisville. Upon seeing their portfolio for the first time I was hooke...
d and knew that I wanted them to capture our day. They were super responsive to communications and even made sure to visit us once before the big day for a meet and greet.
Once the wedding day came, they showed up and it was all uphill from there. They were both so attentive to us, but also super attentive to one another - I can see why they work so well together as husband and wife - they were a true team. We had so much fun with them, experimenting with different things, even finding a rogue football table on the street to play with. Both Drake and Eliza are super sweet and personable people, we had such an amazing day with them.
My husband's favorite moment of them was being on the dance floor. Drake had the camera and was taking pictures; Eliza was holding the flashes and walking around the dance floor. I don't know if she was doing this because she just couldn't help but feel the beat or if she was simply trying the blend in, totally doesn't matter, but he looks over and she's just dancing through the crowd, holding her flashes. He loved it. And we just loved them!
Would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend these two. Thank you both!
Can't say enough about how phenomenal Drake and Eliza are! They have lovely personalities that immediately put you at ease in front of the camera, they were hands down the most pro...
fessional vendor we dealt with for our wedding, we didn't even notice they were there in the candid moments they captured, and the photos were ready in less than a week - imagine giggling through wedding photos while still on your honeymoon :). Every time I look at our photos, I can't believe this is my wedding - they are so much better than I could have even imagined. Wonderful experience with these two, five stars all the way.
So easy to work with and extremely talented! Drake & Eliza captured every moment we requested, and little moments that we didn't think of, but will cherish forever. Couldn't have a...
sked for a more perfect team to capture our special day!
