Hilary Elizabeth offers timeless, artful wedding photography that captures the genuine moments, thoughtful details, and feeling of your wedding day.

TO WORK WITH ME
I NOTICE THE LITTLE THINGS
I'm naturally quiet, which means I'm usually watching, listening and paying attention. I'm there for the big moments, but I'm just as interested in everything happening around them.
I'M PART OF THE DAY, NOT THE CENTRE OF IT
I don't want to feel like another vendor. I want to feel like an extension of your guest list—someone who can move through the day naturally and be trusted to notice what's worth photographing.
I KEEP THINGS CALM
Wedding days can be unpredictable. I'll help keep things moving, offer direction when you need it, and make sure photography never feels like another thing on your to-do list.
I'LL HELP GUIDE YOU
You don't need to know how to pose. I'll guide you when it's helpful, especially during portraits, then give you space to be yourselves.
YOUR TYPICAL
WEDDING INVESTMENT
My approach goes beyond taking beautiful photographs. From our first conversation to the delivery of your gallery, I’m here to make the experience feel personal, seamless, and true to you. I take the time to get to know you both, understand what matters most, and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, so you can focus on being present and enjoying your day.
Every wedding is different, so I offer a range of collections to suit your plans, with the option to create a custom package that reflects your day and what matters most to you.
Local wedding COLLECTIONS BEGIN AT $6,000
& most couples invest $8000

TIMELINE PLANNING
Your real timeline built around your wedding day goals. We work together to decide when you need to be places, and where to include buffer space to breathe and relax.
PLANNING CALL
2-3 months before your wedding day, I send out two questionnaires to help us plan the best use of your photography coverage, and to learn the ins and outs of the most important people who will be at your wedding. We confirm your timeline, and your photography vision.
YOUR WEDDING DAY
Your wedding day is a celebration of your love, a time to cherish moments with your family and friends. It's a day to honour the relationship you've nurtured and eagerly anticipate the journey ahead. I'm here to document every aspect of your special day, to capture the deep love you share, and to create timeless images around your story.

Frequently asked questions
HOW MUCH CAN WE EXPECT TO INVEST IN PHOTOGRAPHY?
My couples tend to spend between $6,000 - $8000 for their wedding day coverage. I also offer intimate wedding and elopement coverage as well, so please reach out, I’d love to hear more and find the best option for you!
how many images will we receive?
This answer varies per wedding day, as each day is different and tells a different story. A full wedding day (8 hours or more) typically will receive about 700+ photos.
When will we get our edited photos?
It typically takes between 8-12 weeks to receive your full gallery. I will always send sneak peeks to you in about 48 hours following your wedding. I try to get them to you as fast as possible, as I know you're excited to get them, and I'm excited to send them over to you!
Okay so I think we're a perfect match, how do I book?
If you like what you see, you can send me a message in my contact form. We'll set up a consultation to chat and get to know each other more, and then from there I send you a booking proposal based on our conversation. I require a signed contract & a 40% non-refundable retainer to book your date in. Once that's all done, then we're all set!
