Weddings

There is a reason Elite Images Photography has been chosen by so may brides and grooms in the last 16 years to photograph so many weddings -

We create the images you can be proud of ... (but just because we have that kind of experience don't expect to get some old fuddy duddy shooting your photography. We continue to pursue every new aspect of photography and are constantly looking for fun, new and exciting ideas.)

Every wedding we shoot contains something precious - the unique story of your day. We're there to capture all those wedding day moments for you. Two photographers are at every wedding and both are truly knowledgeable in their craft which is reflected in each image we take, formal or candid. At a time when so many 'wedding photographers' have full time jobs and do weddings for a little extra cash, Elite Images remains one of the true professional wedding studios. After all our studio has had one of the award-winning top three wedding albums in the state of IA for the last three years. (which might seem easy when your head photographer is one of the top 10 photographers in Iowa )

Because you're choosing a professional, you won't have to worry about going through proofs. You will get all of the images that our professionals hand pick, so you aren't left to sort though everything after the wedding by yourself. Let us use our experienced eyes to complete this painstaking obstacle for you. So you won't find any bad expressions, duplicates or unwanted images...and just so you won't need to narrow any images...we have a graphic designer on staff that can design ALL of your images into a heirloom worthy wedding album. Or rather then a storybook album you may want to go with the copyright released CD. It is a great way to make high resolution prints of any of the images from your day. You also won't have to pass around a proofbook from family member to family member, acting as the catch all for all of the reordered prints from family and friends. We have a GREAT turnaround time, within TWO WEEKS of your wedding, all of the color corrected and enhanced images from your wedding are put online for you, your family, and friends to order from because online ordering is not only easy but its free!

So, don't trust your memories to just anyone, call Elite Images in Dubuque. Known for our friendly relationships with our clients, we make the photography planning easy. And when it comes to your wedding day you can relax knowing the story of your day is in professional hands.

Engagements

Our engagements are often overshadowed by the beautiful and more often captured weddings that our studio specializes in. But we LOVE shooting engagement sessions. In fact we love them so much that they are FREE with each wedding collection. The indoor session includes the use of our great selection of sets and backgrounds. We will go on location for engagements though too! We offer engagement books that can be designed to double as sign in guestbooks. Instead of using the same old guestbook these guestbooks can add to your beautiful decor if you would like it matched to your wedding colors, they are endlessly customizable. Ask about other great ideas we have to make your wedding special too!

Seniors

While one of the best photojournalistic wedding photographers in the Tri-state area don't forget that we are one of the hottest senior photographers. We have photographed senior pics for the following high schools. East Dubuque, Galena, Hempstead, Wahlert, Senior, Western Dubuque, Beckman, Clayton Ridge in Guttenburg, Cascade, Freeport Il, Bellevue, River Ridge, South Western WI...and it seems like we add to the list each year. The reason we pull seniors from all of these areas is because we try to make each senior unique. We do have backgrounds that are pretty popular to request :) but other then that we are willing to do anything new and different. We encourage seniors to ThInK DIfFeRenT when it comes to their senior pictures :) Remember Dubuque isn't so small when it comes to new hot looks...I like to think Dubuque photography = cool photography. lol

Family and Children

While we have been doing natural and formal family portraits for years, baby pictures are something all new to our repertoire. We create maternity, (or pregnancy images), children's portraits, newborn, baby portraits and kids of all ages. We offer a baby plan for a newborn, 3 month, 6mo, 9mo and 1 year old session, that covers the sessions fees and includes free images with every package. Please call for further details about this session package or about unique outdoor and location sessions as well as at our beautiful indoor commercial studio. We recommend photographing newborns BEFORE they are two weeks old and then at each of the '3 month' marks, But don't forget about family pictures during these important growing times! After these huge benchmark times in a child's life we also recommend family portraits every year, but waiting no longer then every three years.

Commercial

Business portraits are the obvious, but we are also well versed in casual business head and shoulder shots. Commercial photography from product to location architecture are also options to our specialty 'people oriented commercial photography.'

We serve weddings, engagements, seniors, families, children, babies, pregnant bellies and commercial businesses not only in Dubuque IA but also the greater Tri-state area including Wisconsin and Illinois. Travel is common although additional charges may apply. We also do Destination weddings by individual quote. Commercial Photography (advertising and marketing) is also done by quote.
