About Elizabeth Nihiser and Her Approach to Photography

Hi, I'm Elizabeth

I'm a Hocking Hills-based photographer who loves capturing beautiful moments and telling stories through images. Whether you're planning a wedding, an elopement, renewing your vows, or want stunning engagement or portrait photos, I'd love to hear from you. Let's chat about your vision and create some magic together.

Get to know your photographer.

Born and raised in Logan, Ohio, I've always connected to the beauty of the natural world. After graduating from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography, I returned back to the area and began hiking and photographing at Hocking Hills State Park.

When not capturing images, I enjoy spending time with my family: my husband, two adorable boys, three cute cats, and noble Pyrador. I love to explore nature, garden, cook new foods, drink lots of Lemon Ginger tea, work on home renovation projects, identify birds and wildflowers, and try to live a Hobbit life ("Where our hearts truly lie is in peace and quiet and good tilled earth. For all Hobbits share a love of things that grow.")

I've also had the privilege of sharing my passion for photography by teaching at community colleges and non-profit organizations. My dedication to empowering at-risk youth led me to be honored with a Community Mental Health Advocate award.

Committed to making art accessible to everyone, I serve on the board of trustees for Art Possible Ohio.

I am a proud graduate of the Art of Adventure Weddings & Elopements. ART graduates are not just photographers—we are intentional artists and experience creators, trained to craft breathtaking work infused with soul, integrity, and genuine heart.

The Rockhouse, with its tunnel-like cave and captivating 'window' views, provided a truly unique and breathtaking backdrop for their intimate Couples Portraits.
The Art of Adventure Weddings & Elopements program trains photographers to be story-driven artists who capture honest, emotional, and stunning images reflecting each couple's unique journey. With a central focus on client experience, ART graduates ensure couples feel seen, safe, and celebrated. They achieve artistic and technical mastery, creating intentional, impactful imagery in any condition. Instead of stiff poses, they use empathetic guidance to evoke genuine emotion. Their documentary approach delivers immersive, emotion-rich galleries capturing moments from the day. Moreover, the program emphasizes sustainable and ethical practices, promoting respectful and eco-conscious celebrations.

Let's Collaborate on Your Unforgettable Moments.

Experience the magic: stunning photography and timeless editing, creating moments beyond the ordinary.
