Ellie is such an amazing photographer and I cannot recommend her enough. We booked a mini session for our holiday card photos and she took the most wonderful photos of my 5 year old son, husband, and me. They were the best family photos we have gotten thus far from any photographer and she captured all of us so well, especially my 5 year old - there were no weird smile faces and she magically got him to smile and look like a regular person in photos which is a major feat. She also turned around the photos very quickly so we could use them for our holiday card. She is a pleasure to work with and I can say that we will be using Ellie going forward for all photos - she's the best!

Hi, I'm Ellie, a dreamer, and lover of romantic moments and unrelenting connections.

In my 15 years of photographing weddings, my interest in photography has grown from simply making pretty pictures -to creating the most wonderful and powerful moments for kind and loving people, all the while capturing those permanent memories.

It is a dream come true to create awe-inspiring imagery to match your unforgettable moments and I hope that by creating your wedding imagery together, we can make your wedding dreams come true too.
