Ellen at Ariena photography was just a joy to work with. We hired a videographer and they also had nothing but great things to say about Ellen and how professional and fun to work with. Seriously, when people who are in the same business are just praising her, you know you got an incredible talent.
Not only are her photos and how she composes shots are amazing, but her clear direction and vision is exactly what we needed for our hectic day. And she got our sneak peek photos incredibly fast. And what photos they are. They’re varied in how they were shot but all had a cohesive vision and flow. We also chose an indoor venue with not a lot of natural light, but she was able to capture truly special moments. Cannot recommend her enough.

We are so thrilled we got to have Ellen as our wedding photographer. The quality of her work is amazing—we are both pretty camera-shy and usually don’t like photos of ourselves, but every single photo from both our wedding and our engagement shoot was stunning. A lot of it is her great eye, technical skill and editing, but she is also great at bringing out the best in the people she photographs. She made us feel really comfortable and relaxed, and got us talking and laughing, and that comes through in the photos.

Ellen was also incredible to work with. She’s really organized and professional, but also so fun and warm—definitely the kind of person you want at your wedding! She was very helpful and responsive leading up to the wedding, and helped us make sure things like our timeline would work well to get the photos we wanted. She also was very flexible and understanding of a COVID-related schedule change to our engagement shoot, and even met up to scout out photo locations at our venue. Finally, her turnaround time is amazing! We got our engagement photos in about a week, and a ton of sneak peeks just a few days after our wedding. We absolutely loved working with Ellen and wholeheartedly recommend her!

Ellen was a joy to work with from day one, and her photos are incredible. Seriously I cannot recommend her enough. She is kind and smart and will help you to look your best no matter what. A true artist and just an all-around wonderful person. She captured our day so beautifully, truly more lovely than I even dared to dream for. Would recommend to anyone I know!
