While photography bought me here, people are what keep me inspired. I love getting to know people, hearing their stories and creating a space where they can feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.

Wether it's a barefoot beach elopement, a destination celebration or a packed dance floor surrounded by family and friends, my goal remains the same: to create photographs that feel genuine, emotional and full of life.

I'm Ell, and for the last seven years i've spent my weekends documenting some of life's most meaningful celebrations.

"Ell is so lovely, professional and organised and she made our vision come to life. She provided guidance and helped us shape the day and vision for what we wanted. We felt so organised and supported beacuse of her. Our wedding photos are just stunning! She captured our real emotions and love in our newly wed photos, and the emotions and love between our friends and family. "

Instantly we knew we made the right choice

She made us feel so comfortable and at ease straight away and even offered to help with us organise other parts of our wedding day. And then there were the sneak peek photos...they were ISANE! Jaw dropping amazing.

Ell was not only our photographer but also our self proclaimed BFF and hype girl.
