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.

We truly could not have been happier with our BIG Day! Working with Ella & Jason made life so easy - we met once before our day & we both felt very comfortable with them right away. Ella was wonderful to work with on our big day, she got right to the photos had everyone lined up and we moved through our photos quickly! She was kind, helpful and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We can't thank you enough for everything and capturing our big day xo

It was an adventure trying to find the right photographer for our wedding. Especially because we were getting married in Vegas and we are not from there. Both my now husband and I had to agree and getting him to sit down and pick one was hard. Ella was both of our first picks so I emailed her an inquiry and she responded immediatly. She was friendly and energetic from the first email I receieved. And has been since. My husband hates taking pictures and she made it so easy for him he actually had a lot of fun. Ella is the best and her pictures are amazing! I would pick her as your photographer, I truely believe that you would regret it if you don't.

First let's start with the moment we met.....professional and personable. My fiancé (now husband), mom (who was also there), and I immediately wanted her. Ella and all of her employees matched there pictures...perfect.

Throughout the year from the moment we met until the day of the wedding Ella never lost contact. She answered any and all questions (no matter how stupid) through email and even in person. That's service!

Now the day of the wedding....perfect! She showed up early and captured every moment. Ella was not in your face during the wedding ceremony and erection, she was more like a ninja. Got in took the photo beautifully and left. All of my guest commented how wonderful she was. During the more personal photos Ella made me feel very comfortable and I never take any pictures, not even selfies. Any stress that could have risen from a photographer there was none. She just added to an already perfect day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
