I'm Elizabeth Gelineau, a photographer, dreamer, and accidental entrepreneur. Based in my hometown of Mobile, Ala., I photograph portraits, weddings and events on both sides of Mobile Bay. Grab a cup of coffee (or other beverage of your choice) and enjoy browsing around. I'm so glad you stopped by!
"Elizabeth is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Her style of coaching is very easy to follow making her pictures look so natural. I love her use of natural light. Her style is classic and timeless, which is exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. Twenty years in the future, I am confident I will still love my pictures as much as I do today."
"Elizabeth is the most genuine person you will ever meet! The love she has for her job is so apparent not only in her beautiful photos but also in the warm and welcoming atmosphere she creates during her shoots. My husband and I do not love taking photos, however Elizabeth made us feel so comfortable and calm in front of the camera. Our wedding and engagement photos exceeded my expectations. Not only is her work wonderful but her calming positive attitude is what every bride needs on her wedding day. I could not recommend her enough! She is truly the best!"

"Elizabeth is the best choice in my opinion! She took time to get to know Justin and myself to where we felt like friends, which made posing for pictures less awkward. She is extremely kind and not shy to tell you how to pose/stand, which was very helpful for me! Elizabeth's photography is very natural. Overall, I could not have imagined working with a better photographer, because in my experience she is the best!!

September 11, 2019
My fall wedding season began this past Saturday, but in Mobile it still feels like summer. Sharon and Brandon didn’t let the record-breaking heat dampen their spirits. Their day was so full of JOY! Their happiness was contagious! You can’t be around these two and not smile from ear-to-ear. When I met up with Brandon ahead of the First Look, he was already beaming with pride. When I opened the door to the room where Sharon was waiting and told her it was time to see her groom, she nearly squealed with excitement. I knew we were in for a lot of sweet moments throughout this day and the First Look was only the beginning!
I also love that I got to see two of my other brides at this wedding! Annie, who you’ll meet later this fall, was one of Sharon’s bridesmaids. I’ll be photographing her wedding this December and it was so much fun having her be part of Sharon’s wedding day. I also ran into one of my 2020 couples, Libby and Hunter, at the wedding reception! I loved getting to catch up with them! All three of these ladies have been friends since their days at McGill-Toolen Catholic High school (also my alma mater…although I graduated quite a few years before they did)!
One extra special part of this Catholic wedding was the fact that Sharon’s uncle, who is a priest in the Archdiocese of Mobile, was able to officiate the Nuptial Mass. Sharon is Fr. Steve’s only niece and he certainly had everyone in tears with his sweet stories about Sharon growing up. I can tell just from his homily that Sharon has been a joyful person her entire life. I just love that about her. It turns out that Fr. Steve knew Brandon’s family before Sharon did through his time serving at another parish in town. Then Sharon and Brandon met in high school and the rest is history!
Weddings offer me the opportunity to preserve moments for a couple to treasure for a lifetime. The wedding photographs are the first heirloom of a bride and groom’s new family. When I walked into the reception hall and saw the wedding photos of Sharon’s and Brandon’s parents and grandparents displayed, I smiled at the reminder of just how precious these moments are. It reminded me why I love weddings so much and why it’s a gift to capture these fleeting moments of a wedding day.
Congratulations Sharon and Brandon! Thank you for letting me document all the joy of your special day!
How sweet are these bridesmaids?! Their reaction to seeing Sharon in her dress was the best!
Such a beautiful First Look moment!
I love this shot that my second photographer, Aimee, took during bride and groom portrait time!
Another one of my favorites that Aimee took during the ceremony!
Possibly one of my favorite First Dance photos of all time! They’re just such happy people!
So much fun seeing Libby and Hunter! Of course I had to get a photo with them!
Sharon told me she wanted a McGill-Toolen Class of 2014 photo at the reception. I didn’t realize it would be this big of a group, but I love that it was! Go Jackets!

The pictures are wonderful and it was such an honor to be there for this celebration! As you said, Sharon and Brandon are so special!
Elizabeth, you and Aimee are both AMAZING with a camera! Each photo elicits a wealth of raw emotion that is rarely found in photography these days. Nice job!
Sharon and Brandon, I love you both, and am so glad I could be there to see you begin your new life together as Mr. and Mrs. Cox! Congratulations!!!
