Last update: March 2026

Your wedding day is a whirlwind of emotion, heartfelt vows, soft touches, deep belly laughs, and the quiet moments you hope never fade. My photography is all about preserving those moments with warmth, creativity, and a deep sensitivity to the story unfolding around you.

I’m known for creating a calm, comforting space where you can simply be yourselves. No stiff posing, no pressure, just gentle guidance when you need it and a natural, unobtrusive presence when you don’t. Couples often tell me it feels like having a friend along for the day, someone who blends in effortlessly yet never misses the magic.

Every wedding is special to me because every couple is different. I take the time to listen to your vision, understand your personalities, and notice the meaningful details you’ve woven into your celebration. From the soft glow of getting-ready moments to the joyful chaos of the dance floor, I capture your day with an eye for emotion, beauty, and authenticity.

I offer full-day wedding photography, elopements, and engagement sessions, all crafted with a storytelling approach that feels heartfelt and personal. My goal is simple: to deliver images that feel like poetry, filled with the warmth, connection, and little sparks of joy that make your wedding uniquely yours.

If you’re dreaming of wedding photography that is creative, romantic, and full of soul, I’d love to be part of your story.

Great Photographer worth hiring

Elisabeth is personable and friendly, she will make you feel comfortable while she photographs you, at least she made my husband and I feel as so on our wedding day. She captured the key moments and gave us great memories that we treasure!

The best experience ever!!!!


Can’t recommend Ellie more!!! She took care of every single aspect of the day, was always allowing us to live the moment without choreographing the poses, just leaving us being ourselves and enjoying our day. Although she gave us some instructions when she saw “the picture”, and honestly, she was absolutely right about it. The pictures were fantastic and I can’t be happier with these incredible memories I’ll carry with me.

Ellie is incredibly talented and was a calming presence throughout the day, capturing every emotion naturally and beautifully. She’s also perfect for pre-wedding shootings, knowing exactly when to step in with guidance and when to simply let moments unfold. If you’re looking for someone who can tell your story in an authentic and effortless way, Ellie is the one.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
