By Elle is a Manchester-based photographer specialising in natural, documentary-style photography.

Her approach is simple. She focuses on capturing real moments as they happen, rather than creating lots of posed photos. Most of the time, couples barely notice she’s there, allowing the day to unfold naturally while she quietly documents everything from the big moments to the small, in-between ones.

Elle has extensive experience photographing people and candid moments, and is now bringing that same approach into weddings. Her work is particularly suited to couples who want their day to feel relaxed and natural, without the pressure of being constantly posed.

She understands that not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera, so she keeps things easy and unobtrusive. When it comes to group photos and couple portraits, she offers gentle guidance to keep things flowing without interrupting the day.

Her aim is always the same. To allow you to fully enjoy your wedding, while creating a collection of images that reflect how it really felt.
