About this vendor
As you already know, my name is Elizabeth and I am a wedding photographer here in Arizona. But that is surface level, so let's get a little more familiar.
Some personal factoids about myself. I have recently entered into my 3rd decade and am loving it. I am an avid crossfit junkie so whenever I am not working I am usually at my gym. When I have the free time I am also outside where ever there is water. I love to paddle board, or go on hikes in search of waterfalls. Fun fact, I am a true Arizonian born and raised here in this desert state. I'm always told I am one of the few 😂
Now that you know a little bit more about me, let's go a little deeper. For pretty much as long as I can remember, I have loved video and film. When my parents recognized my love for this medium, my dad let me use his old school cassette tape video camera for all of my weird little skits and shows that my sister and I created. As I grew up, my passion remained for capturing every moment I could that was happening in my life. I love the idea of getting to play it back and relive it all right there in a new moment or have the ability to scroll through the literal thousands of photos I have captured.
Jump to today, and I have been pursing wedding photography as a business for going on 6 years. When I started back in 2017, I don't think I pictured where I am. I have gotten the chance to travel to places I never imagined for business and pleasure and I have met some of the most amazing humans along the way.
I am someone who is in love with the chaos of a wedding day and the long hours of editing. Someone who is immensely grateful to have been a part of some many couples weddings. Someone who wears more than just the hat of a photographer but the hat of a planner, of a bustler, of a time manager, of a business owner, of a friend, and many more.

I found Elizabeth on Instagram and fell in love with her portfolios. I spoke with her on the phone and she was very professional and flexible with what we wanted for our special da...
y. When our day arrived she showed up and fit right in with our family and guests. She made sure to find out what was important and captured it all flawlessly. She was extremely prompt in editing and returning our photos. I would HIGHLY recommend choosing Elizabeth with Nelson Cinematics for any special occasion
I used Nelson Cinematic for our engagement photos and knew I had to have her for my wedding! The pictures cane out perfect. She got all the right moments in there and I couldn’t be...
more happy.
Elizabeth was our photographer for our 12/28/19 wedding and she was amazing. First off, we bought the package that included the 30 min couple session. When the day came for the sho...
ot the 30 min turned into 60 min because she wanted to keep shooting. Secondly, she has a eye for detail and delivers beautiful photos. Lastly, she is a relaxing person. I was a little stressed day and she provides a calming force that bleeds over to everyone in the room. Hire her, you will not be disappointed!
We got married on October 5th and Elizabeth was one of the best parts of the wedding for us. Her photos were great! She delivered them less than two weeks after the wedding and we ...
love them! So happy with her! We met before we booked her in February and she was kind, attentive and always professional. And met again maybe 3-4 weeks prior to our date just to go over last minute odds and ends. She does things right, sends out contracts in advance and makes sure everyone is on the same page – crystal clear expectations. On the day of, she showed up early to make sure she had time to scope things out and stuck to her shot list and timeline perfectly. She takes charge during group settings and comes off very professional and kind with friends and family. Highly recommended!
While on my wedding planning season, finding a photographer was one of my biggest headaches. After reading about a million reviews (probably not quite a million but it sure felt li...
ke it), I decided to send out emails to the top 10 that caught my eyes. All the responses I got back were either extremely out of my budget or no response at all. So I decide to go one more round and keep looking. The second time I only sent out two emails, and one of them was to Elizabeth. Elizabeth was great at responding to me and answered all the questions I had. Although I had not fully decided on going with her she kept checking in with me to see how the planning was going. Unlike all the other places, that kept bugging me on locking in with them, Elizabeth was no pressure at all. When I meet her in person I instantly knew she was who I wanted. Something about her made me feel calm and relaxed rather than feeling pressured and overwhelmed. She was able to work with our budget and multiple locations! She's a great listener, I was able to get all of the requests I had asked for. The best part of it all, was that she helped my husband and I get comfortable in front of the camera before our big day. That was amazing and so helpful, we loved our wedding pictures!! I highly recommend Elizabeth, not only is she super talented but she also has all the qualities of a professional.
Beautiful, stunning picture. She captured our beautiful day. Thank you so much

Elizabeth was the best!! She immediately responded to me when I inquired about her services and she provided great suggestions for the Phoenix area. She truly cares about her clien...
ts and their budgets. We went to Saguaro Lake for our engagement pictures and Elizabeth had so many different poses and suggestions, she was also open to our ideas and made our dream become a reality! She was very personable and made the experience so fun and comfortable. We LOVED our experience with Elizabeth and can’t wait to use her again!!
Elizabeth was fantastic to work with! She really tailored to our needs and expectations to what we wanted. She was such a great help too when my mother needed help with my dress an...
d Elizabeth gave an extra hand. This shows that she’s not only a photographer but is also willing to help when needed. I’m so glad I was able to have her capture my special day despite the cold November evening. Definitely would recommend her!
Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! She made us feel so comfortable, she had jokes lined up for us (my husband has a bad fake smile unless prompted with silly dad jokes). She was ver...
y quick with the turnaround of the edits from our wedding. We plan to go to her for whenever we need photos done again. We absolutely loved her!
My husband and I had an intimate backyard wedding and it was important to us that we adhered to a budget. We hired Nelson Cinematic for our wedding photos and could not be more p...
leased with the result! Elizabeth spent time with us prior to our wedding to understand what we were trying to capture and was very professional and supportive. The results were absolutely beautiful. We have some stunning shots that really captured the happiness of our day. Elizabeth and team were an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Nelson Cinematic!
Elizabeth was nothing short of amazing. She was very accommodating and professional from the start. She was easy to communicate with in the downtime before the wedding, and was ver...
y prompt if I had a question. Elizabeth went above and beyond for our wedding, and was quick to help when plans changed. We had to change our photo location the week before the wedding, and not only was she compliant she even agreed to come earlier then the agreed time before. The day of our wedding she got so caught up in getting all our shots that she stayed later then expected, and she really captured everything from that day. I am so thankful for Elizabeth, and I would 100% recommend her services. Not only was her customer service amazing, our wedding photos were beautiful and I am truly so happy with them.
Elizabeth and Jeremy provided the most amazing services. Services, plural, because they were more than just photographers. They were there for us every step of the way making sure ...
the day ran smoothly and that we didn't take ourselves too seriously. Their energy was light and fun while making sure they helped keep our anxious families in line (;
Kyle and I went into this whole wedding process joyful yet very anxious due to such unfamiliar territory. Almost immediately after meeting with Elizabeth, we felt confident in the decision to allow her to guide us through it. She is confident and sure of her abilities and that allowed us to relax and let her take control.
Overall, they photographed nonstop for about 8 or 9 hrs without a single complaint. They were able to capture the most beautiful pictures while not taking away from the moments that Kyle and I shared. The edits came quickly after the wedding and even a couple months later, they are still reaching out to follow up with anything else we need. We couldn't have asked for better photographers to support us through the most important day of our lives so far.
Elizabeth took gorgeous photos of my beau and I out in the Arizona desert. The lighting was perfect and she captured Golden Hour beautifully. I plan on booking her for any addition...
al photo shoots we do in the future!

I don't even know where to begin?! Not only is Elizabeth an AMAZING photographer who captures the most beautiful photos, she works hard to create a fun and comfortable environment...
. She took our engagement photos and our wedding reception and we are beyond impressed and pleased with the results. I have worked with many other photographers throughout the years and I can say with 100% confidence that Elizabeth is the most professional and talented. My husband and I are currently expecting our first child and we are already planning on Elizabeth taking our baby's first photos.

Elizabeth was kind, creative, and willing to brave a snowstorm for my engagement shoot. She worked to understand what my fiance and I wanted in terms of theme and created beautiful...
images commemorating our special day. We were relaxed throughout the process, especially my camera-shy fiance. Elizabeth was able to capture our joy and the beautiful landscape, all while encouraging us to try new poses and think outside the box. She promptly edited the images and sent us plenty to chose from. I highly recommend Nelson Cinematic!
