I'm so glad you've found your way to my site! After over 9 years as a professional photographer, I have learned one thing (okay, I've learned lots, haha!) But the most important thing I've learned in this time is every love story is unique. No matter how many weddings and couples I photograph, no two are alike. The images I take capture the unique awesomeness that is the both of you.
I love that my job allows me access to some of the most beautiful, emotion-filled moments of your life. As you look at your wedding photos, I want you to experience your love story all over again, no matter how many years later. I want it to conjure up the same feelings like it was yesterday. After all, your wedding day should be fun, relaxing, and literally magical - and I'm here to help make that happen. I want you to spend your day breathing in every moment and having a ton of fun!

She was well worth the money and even more, she was just a very nice person.

I honestly can’t say enough about Elly. First of all, she is an absolutely remarkable photographer. She puts her heart and soul into this job! Can’t recommend her enough.
Secondly, she makes the process so easy. She’s very relatable and makes everyone laugh and feel at ease when she’s taking pictures.
Like I said, I’ll fly to Florida or wherever she is again to get pictures taken by her. She’s incredible.
