Hi there!

I'm glad you're here

My name is Elissa Petrashishina. I am 23 years old. I am located in Mid Missouri, but travel often, and love that my work gives me the opportunity to do so. I like spending my time outdoors and being active. I've loved taking photos for as long as I can remember, but in the last 4 years have absolutely fallen in love with photographing weddings, couples, and families both digitally and on film. I love Jesus and my main purpose on this earth is to show His love and light in any way that I can.

We have done all of our family shoots with Elissa since we got married in 2020. The best, most flexible photographer! So patient with our babies. She never disappoints!

Elissa, thank you so much for capturing our wedding day! Everything that was captured showed the passion and love that you have for photography. We will forever cherish everything and keep remembering the most precious day of our lives. I can't wait to show our children the day that started our family. Thank you again!

Elissa you did amazing! The way you had fun the whole time while you're behind the camera shows in your work. I love your attention to detail and the little moments. You document atmosphere of a setting so well. I'm excited to see how you grow in digital and film! You are amazing!

From the first time we talked, I knew I wanted Elissa to do my pictures! I had first booked her to do my engagement photos and till this day I'm obsessed with the outcome; she knew my vision! When it came to my wedding, I booked her right after my engagement photos, because I knew she would understand what I wanted. She is so attentive to detail, which every bride wants in a photographer! Overjoyed that I chose her to capture a part of such a memorable moment in our lives!

Elissa, by far the best experience and person to work with! Would not have picked anyone else!

Absolutely LOVED having you as our wedding photographer. You made everyone feel so comfortable and told us exactly what to do - which was so nice! You were also just so fun and relatable - felt more like a friend than just a photographer!!! Thanks again for capturing our big day perfectly. 10/10 recommend!

You made our wedding day so special and your attention to detail was immaculate!! You clearly know what you're doing in photography, and the super 8 video was so cool!! You are a light and joy to those around you and that makes all the difference in the photo session. I love you!
