I met Elizabeth Henson when she was the second shooter for David & Katelyn's wedding. We hit it off pretty much immediately. She's fun and goofy and SO DANG GOOD at her job. She's so enthusiastic about her work and she loves to make others feel great about theirs too. Her attitude is totally contagious and I adore her for it. I recently got the opportunity to help her with a very special project for her business {she launched a PROMO VIDEO for her company} and I was so thrilled to play a tiny part in the whole thing. We've got some really fun things in the works and I can't wait to see it all play out. In the meantime, read on to learn a bit more about Elizabeth and her company. Also, check out her site to see more of her work.

What's the most memorable event you've ever photographed? Oh my gosh, this is hard. All of my weddings have been epic in their own way. I have one bride that really comes to my mind though because her father passed away about a month before the wedding. She was so brave and beautiful, and I was just in awe of her amazing family the entire day. I think about them all the time......its hard to put in words, but its like that couple is my reminder of why this job is so important and so great. I love people and being a photographer allows me to serve them in the most awesome way!
What are your favorite types of events to photograph? DIY Weddings! My husband, Mark and I paid for our own wedding. We were DIY all the way, getting married in a beach house in Sandbridge. I can totally relate to a bride on a budget. Our day was perfect and perfectly captured. You can still have great photography even if you your wedding is not fancy or high end.
Who are your favorite vendors/venues to work with/at?

It will be all you have to show your children, grandchildren, and family members that can't make it. There is a perfect photographer out there for every bride in all different price ranges. And there are GOOD photographers in all price ranges. Ask for help, there are tons of vendors in the area who are so kind and can point you to your perfect match.
