Wedding Stories

A look beyond highlights—into the rythm of a real wedding day

Your vows are spoken once, felt forever. I approach your wedding day the same way—listening closely, moving quietly, and honoring the moments as they happen. From the tremble in your voice to the pauses between words, these stories are told with care, presence, and intention—so you can remember not just how it looked, but how it felt.

A vow to document your wedding day as it truly unfolds

Wedding

Julio M.

"From the start, Elijah was easy to work with and super professional, which made a big difference on such a busy day. He made us feel comfortable, never rushed us, and somehow managed to capture so many moments we didn’t even realize were happening at the time.

If you’re getting married and want a photographer who genuinely cares and delivers amazing photos, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elijah to anyone."

Wedding

Tom K.

"I hired Elijah without hesitation for my engagement session, my wedding, my sisters wedding, our family photos, and we're lining up more sessions with him in the future. He practically feels like part of the family. Elijah you are the greatest, thank you for everything!"

Portrait Session

Andi D.

"Elijah made the entire experience feel effortless. I’m usually uncomfortable in front of the camera, but the session felt natural and relaxed. The photos actually felt like me!"

Maternity

Vianna F.

"Elijah's work is incredible. I can't put it any other way. He put's so much thought throughout the process and the final result left me speechless. Every time I glance over these photos I say "Wow, that's REALLY me..." Elijah did that. He makes magic happen EVERY TIME!"

Maternity

Maryceli M.

"I would definitely recommend Raw But Meaningful Photography to anyone looking to capture special moments. Elijah was patient with me and continued to assure me pics would be great despite weather. Made us feel comfortable and heard. Great person to work with 100%."
