A note from Ellie
As a child I loved to paint, and gifting someone my latest masterpiece was my way of connecting with the world. These days photography is my art, and documenting the connection between two people is what I love most.
After thirteen years and more than 500 weddings, I moved from New Zealand to Sydney to begin a new chapter. What hasn't changed is why I do this. Having my boys showed me how quickly time rushes by, and how much I treasure the photos that let me feel those moments again.
That is my hope for you too. On your day I'll be beside you as your photographer and trusted confidante, so you can be fully present while I capture the look, the touch and the tender smile you might otherwise miss.
When you book me, you book my eye, my experience and my approach. I personally photograph every wedding, and you'll have unlimited support from me before the day, from vendor recommendations to your timeline.
I'd love to hear all about your plans.
