About us:

After falling in love with a Kentucky man we married in Kentucky and I fell in love with the people. Not soon after I decided this was my home and where I wanted to be.

I know first hand the stress of wedding days and navigating all the emotions that go on, not just from bride and groom but family and friends alike.

Wedding days are more than just the bride and groom. They are about the family that have raised and loved you since day one, the friends that have become family, and the love and support you’ve received as a couple from all those who attend.

We believe in capturing your wedding day through the eyes of a loved one. All the moments that led up to this, the love you have for your family and friends. It’s more than documenting a day, it’s making sure that your story is told.

Let us take care of you inquire today and lets talk about what’s important and how we can help.

Worth. Every. Penny.

Ella and her team are the most amazing photographers we could of asked for on our special day. We booked a year out and Ella stayed in constant contact with us to insure our day would be perfect. She didn’t only take the most breathtaking photos but provided comfort and direction during the stressful parts of the day. I don’t have enough words to express our gratitude for Ella and her entire team. AND the pictures are freaking AMAZING!!

The Best to Capture Life's Precious Moments

Ella and her staff are amazing! Her attention to details and illustrating the story behind the photos is sheer brilliance. I have dealt with other photographers in the past, but her level of professionalism, passion and diligence is unparalleled. My fiancee and I have only gotten to the engagement photos and video shoot, but are so impressed with the work and cannot WAIT until our wedding to see the special moments she captures.
I highly recommend her for photo and video services!

AMAZING Experience!

Ella Gagiano Studios is the absolute BEST!! We were recommended to Ella through our wedding venue and let me just say that she really blew us away. We upgraded our package so we could get some engagement photos and the process was amazing. Ella is very easy to get ahold of and she responds very quickly to any questions or concerns you might have. She is very kind and helpful and we never felt pressured. Our engagement shoot was so much fun even though the wind was out of control. Ella helped up through the shoot with so much patience and made the whole experience fun. On top of that, our pictures turned out AMAZING! They are so much better than I could have expected. She is the best photographer and I would recommend her to everyone! We are so excited to continue to use Ella for our wedding and any other pictures we might need in the future. Thank you Ella!!

Fabulous,gifted and highly creative

Ella Gagiano is a gifted and highly creative photographer. Being a photographer myself it was so important for me to find the best photographer to shoot my son's wedding. She has outdone herself. I cannot say enough things about her as words fail me. Her images are unbelievably breathtaking. I would highly recommend her for any event.

Epic Wedding Photos, Enthusiastic Photographer!

It was such a pleasure working with Ella. During our initial meeting, she got a feel for what we wanted during our wedding shoot, including any special requests. On the day of, she arrived early to the location, and throughout the entire process was enthusiastic, with great recommendations as to poses, photo ideas, and positioned us well. The photos turned out even more beautiful than expected--epic shots, with perfect lighting and gorgeous editing. We really enjoyed working with Ella, and are so glad we chose her!

Phenomenal Photographer

My wife and I knew we needed a great photographer, but didn't know anything about picking one out. We first met Ella at an open house at one of many wedding venues we were visiting that day. There were two photographers there and wanted to take a look at both of their works. Ella's albums and photos immediately stood out. The quality of work is phenomenal, I was very impressed. I just hope my wife and I will come out looking that good as in her albums. Ella was very professional and easy going. She assured us that our album will come out great, we had nothing to worry about. We eagerly waited for our Album to come out after our first session. Oh my God....the photos came out fantastic. I don't photograph well but Ella made us look like professional models, they were that good. If you want the best in the business Ella would be that photographer.
