BIO:
The photography career of Elizabeth Etienne has taken her around the world and back; from the cobblestone streets of Paris to the sandy beaches of California she now calls home. She attributes both her French-American up-bringing and her many years living in Paris shooting film stills, album covers, advertising, weddings and fine art, to giving her work a unique “Euro-American,” cinematic stamp that is hers alone.

Award-winning and published in numerous magazines, Elizabeth Etienne has become renown for her one-of-a-kind engagement sessions that resemble a celebrity spread in Vanity Fair, a vintage Hollywood film still, an ad campaign or antique French postcard. After shooting dozens of upscale weddings for more than 20 years Elizabeth has become one of the most sought-after wedding photographers in the U.S. and abroad. In between shooting couples she applies her unique style to her timeless & contemporary lifestyle images for advertising, stock, and fine art. She is one of the very rare photographers that can do it all and do it well. Her style remains consistent no matter what she shoots.

Elizabeth Etienne is now an elite member of Kodak's advisory committee, a featured Kodak Pro Pass photographer and a platform speaker at the famous WPPI convention in Las Vegas. She is also the author and contributor of 3 books and graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography in 1989.
