My Process

I do not treat every session the same.  My goal is to empower you to be brave and bold and above all, be yourself.  I do not subscribe to a formula when shooting or editing.  You will be treated as the unique and beautiful individual that you are.

Unique images

We all need to know what to expect.  From the beginning I will strive to answer all questions and set realistic expectations so that you know exactly what you get when you choose me.

communication

Whatever you hire me for, our relationship is based on trust.  You trust me to create beautiful, high-quality images or events for you and I honor wherever you are in your journey and process.

Elayne Woods has spent the past several years building her photography business to become one of the most sought after wedding photographers in Lincoln and surrounding areas. Her work captures the joy and excitement of your most important days in creative and unique ways.

Elayne holds a bachelor’s degree in graphic design but her passion is photography and that is evident in her work. She grew up on a farm on the sweeping plains of Nebraska and captures the essence of that simple beauty in a modern and elegant form.  

When she isn’t doing photography, she is also creating at her wedding venue, The 1206 and is spending time with her three sons, and her husband, camping, kayaking and hiking. She is a lover of everything outdoors, bluegrass music and brainstorming new ways to express her creativity.

"Elayne photographed our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the results! She was so relaxed, always, which is so important on the wedding day (and leading up to it). She was the definition of “go with the flow” but also totally jumped in and took control when it was go time! Neither myself nor my husband love getting our pictures done and we both had an absolute blast with Elayne! She made the whole experience so casual and easy and perfectly captured both of our personalities and love in all the shots. We both highly recommend Elayne to anyone who is looking for a photographer that will capture who you really are on your special day, and not someone who makes you pose super awkwardly and fake laugh the whole time!!! ❤️"

"Elayne was a dream on our wedding day. There are so many things to worry about, but we didn’t have to worry about a thing when it came to our photographer. She was professional and so, so talented. She captured my husband and I as we are, natural and happy. She was also so attentive to details, guests, and this special moments throughout the ceremony and reception that you want to remember forever."

"Don't look any further... Elayne is a must have when looking for someone to photograph your special event. I was so pleased with the photos taken during my engagement session! Having made the session both fun and relaxing Elayne was able to capture the love I have for Clint. It was decided right then and there that she would take my wedding photos. If you are looking for someone that will take quality photos, Elayne is the way to go. It's easily a 5 star rating for me. I can't thank you enough Elayne!"

Clint & Emma

"We hired Elayne for our wedding and couldn't help but hire her for pictures at our 2nd anniversary! Her work captures the emotion, energy, and moment in such a creative and fun way! I am continually blown away by her work. On top of that, she is a blast to work with!"
