Elizabeth Messina

Elizabeth Messina, who has been called "one of the top wedding photographers in the world" by Vogue Magazine and Harper's Bazaar, is a master at capturing the essence of her subjects' personalities while accentuating their beauty in a fascinating and striking way. Elizabeth's portraits have graced the covers and pages of innumerable magazines and periodicals, and she is best known for her luminous, natural light photographs, personal portraiture of women, and sumptuous fashion work. The Luminous Portrait, Elizabeth's debut book, provides personal insights into her creative process and approach to creating photographs that are "lighted from inside." Adornments, her second book, shows the beauty of Myra Callan's handmade floral arrangements from Twigs & Honey. The Silver Lining, a collaboration with her close friend Hollye Jacobs, is Elizabeth's third and most current book, a supportive, motivating, and graphically appealing resource for anybody whose life has been touched by breast cancer. Elizabeth finds herself most inspired and joyful in the presence of those she loves, having worked in the photographic profession for over 20 years, traveled all over the world, and collaborated with some of the most amazing creatives. When she's not photographing, she may be found at home in Southern California with her loving husband, three children, and two dogs, taking a stroll through the park or at the beach. Elizabeth's work has been featured in a number of high-profile wedding publications with a global audience in the bridal, editorial, and photography industries. Her photography has been featured in both print and digital platforms, and she is known for her timeless and natural aesthetic.
