Elizabeth and her assistant, Karl, were such a wonderful addition to
our wedding. From the beginning of the planning process, we felt that
she really saw us as the people we are. She was able to catch so many
exquisite moments on that day and every photo seems to have a life of
it's own- magic and energy in everyone's faces. She was extremely
accommodating and generous with her time- coming all the way to
Brooklyn to hand deliver the photos. Many guests commented on how
wonderful our photographer was (both looking at the photos and just her
presence on that day.) She was professional and very reasonably priced-
even correcting an oversight after the fact, which was greatly
appreciated. I highly recommend Elizabeth. We were so fortunate to find
her!

My husband and I used Elizabeth Solaka for our destination wedding held
in Joshua Tree National Park two years and she was INCREDIBLE. As a
person, she is amazingly easy to have around-- she is kind, patient,
empathetic, and supportive-- everything that you might want when you
are stressed out and trying to plan a wedding and make sure that it
goes smoothly. During the ceremony, she was amazing at taking very
close up pictures without seeming to be overly present and she also
moved around alot and took a wide range of very interesting photos--
photos that perhaps you might not think you would want but later when
you look at them, you realize how special they are. Elizabeth had
amazing ideas for family portraits and formally and informally posed
shots before the ceremony and afterwards. She also had fabulous artsy
ideas that she put out there and we chose to take her up on them and
they worked beautifully-- very innotivative landscape shots. And then,
during our reception, she did a beautiful job getting both candid and
posed shots. Because she is so pleasant, fun, and easy to work with,
people actually LIKE having their pictures taken by her-- and that is
definitely something to think about! Afterwards, she had everything
developed and prepared super quickly and was really easy to coordinate
with. Our moms were happy too! And her prices are more than reasonable.
Make no mistake-- this is a serious, classy, and creative
photographer-- and she is fun to work with!
