I am so glad you are here. My love for photography is just an overflow of the deep love from Jesus Christ. With this passion He has given me, I want to serve people & glorify the Lord. I am in love with storytelling, traveling, connecting with new people & everything outdoors - which is exactly why I want to document your story! I want to capture you in a documentary, earthy, & editorial way.

hi i'm Ella

         your
story takes us
anywhere

Your love story is worth documenting, just as it is - natural, unscripted, and full of life. I’m here to capture it in a way that feels true to you.

always authentic to you

your love
it is

 just how

My approach is rooted in connection, not performance. Because the beauty of your day already exists - my job is to see it.


your moments,
real

connection.

I believe wedding days aren’t about the photos — they’re about your story, your people, and the sacred beauty of the life you’re building together. I’m here to document it all honestly and artfully.

r & t

"Ella was the most amazing photographer we could’ve asked for!! The photos were absolutely STUNNING! She focused on capturing the raw events of the night and very few of the pictures were posed & not dramatically edited. They turned out so natural & better than I ever could’ve imagined!! As a bride, it was a relief to know that Ella had everything under control and I got to enjoy the night without being stressed about making sure we were getting all the pictures we wanted. I could not recommend Ella enough. Her photography style, sweet personality, and dedication to producing the most amazing photos is unmatched. So so grateful that we have such beautiful pictures to remember this day forever!!"

Photography is an art of remembering. My approach is all about documenting your day exactly as it unfolds - real, unscripted, and full of feeling - so that when you look back, you don’t just see how it looked, but remember how it felt. I like to think of my role as helping you create your scrapbook in real time - capturing the quiet moments, the laughter, the happy tears - so you have images that you’ll come back to again and again, holding your memories close.
