The BEST wedding photographer EVER!

If you are looking for a photography dream team- look no further because you just can't beat what Elle, Ashton and her team have to offer!

Elle was recently voted into the top 10 wedding photographers in the Chicagoland area and after working with her it is so easy to see why! From the moment I reached out to Elle to the end of the wedding day, she was so fun and easygoing to work with. She is not only your biggest cheerleader & your bonus bridesmaid but she produces the dreamiest light and airy photos that you will look back on for years to come. We absolutely love the outcome of our engagement and wedding photos. We got both galleries back SO quickly and the photos are incredibly flawless. Elle knows how to organically pose her canvas resulting in beautiful photos every time. The night of the wedding, Elle had about 10 photos for us to preview while at our reception which made the day even more exciting! We also used her husband, Ashton, for videography and are looking forward to the result of our video. We highly recommend using Elle Taylor Photography for any special occasion- but especially as your wedding photographer!

Elle and Ashton were professional, friendly, supportive, and incredibly talented!

Elle and Ashton were the perfect photographer/videographer for our wedding! From the moment we booked to the moment we were at our ceremony and reception, we felt like a high priority to the both of them. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and videos and have Elle and Ashton to thank for that! The light and airy vibes of their work is everything we wanted. They made us feel comfortable throughout the whole booking process, and we never felt like a burden with our questions. Elle and Ashton are a fantastic photographer/videographer duo and we are incredibly blessed to have gotten to know them and work with them. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!!

An amazing day!!!

Wow! Elle, her husband, and whole team are just amazing people! I have loved Elle's style of photography and editing since I first found her on instagram. I knew she had to be the one to capture my wedding day! She took pictures for my surprise proposal/engagement party, engagement pictures, and wedding. Every time I see her she is so sweet and friendly and makes taking pictures so easy and comfortable! She is so organized and helped me get everything together. She is amazing at what she does! I got my entire wedding album back less than a week after my wedding and every single picture was gorgeous. Just like everyone else, I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her business!!!

A Dream Team

Elle and Ashton are an absolute DREAM to work with! From standing in the rain at our engagement pictures to capturing our wedding day on a brisk fall day, they really go above and beyond for you! Not only do they provide the most amazing pictures and videos, they are the kindest people you will ever meet! As a stressed bride, Elle was so responsive and helpful in answering any questions I had and made us feel so comfortable getting our photos taken. These pictures are the ones we're going to treasure for a lifetime and show our kids and I'm so so happy that Elle captured such beautiful moments and delivered a gallery that made me feel like we were in a magazine! We absolutely LOVE this team!

An absolute dream

I had the honor of being photographer by Elle for my engagement photos and for my wedding. She was sooooo amazing to work with. I’m a bit shy in front of the camera and she made everything feel so natural. She helped me coordinate outfits and really helped to my mind at ease. My husband hates taking pictures and he had a blast! After our engagement shoot he was so excited for our wedding and to have her capture our magical day. I definitely recommend hiring Ashton for videography as well. They are the perfect duo and work so well together. As a team then really go above and beyond and will make sure every moment of your magical day is captured. When working with Elle and her team, you’ll feel like she’s one of your friends and you’re all there to have fun and won’t feel like “work” to get the perfect shot. My only concern is she took TOO MANY AMAZING PHOTOS. I have wayyyyy to many favorites and cannot stop staring at them! I haven’t been able to do anything but look through my wedding gallery over and over since she got them to me. She was also so quick to get me all my pictures! I haven’t even unpacked from my destination wedding and she has my full gallery ready for me.

When I say she goes above and beyond. I truly mean it. She surprised our guests with a preview of some of her favorite pictures during the reception. The pictures was amazing and I was SHOOK. They were so good, I walked around with her iPad to show EVERY SINGLE table/guest our photos until the battery died.

You will not regret having Elle and Aston be a part of your magical day or any special moments. I cannot wait to work with her again in the future for other milestones. Again, SO AMAZING, SWEET, and GENUINE!

Absolutely amazing. She is the absolute best and we are so in love with our photos!

As you can see from other reviews, it is easy to write waves on Elle as a photographer. Her and Ashton are truly the DREAM TEAM. Not only is Elle amazing at what she does, she is also an amazing person. She is contagiously bubbly, genuine and kind. She goes above and beyond for you as a client in and aside from your services with her. As someone who is very particular of myself in photos, she truly makes you comfortable and confident. My fiancé actually had fun with our photos (when any other time he gets “pictured out” and crabby). Her work is magical. With each sneak peak she showed us during our session(s) we were blown away. When we got our sneak peek during our reception we were brought to tears. It was the most perfect day and we are so thankful to have had our love captured so effortlessly and beautiful. Finding a photographer was one of the most important decisions of our wedding planning process. We knew within the first few response from Elle we wanted nothing more than to work with her. I truly have no words to describe how thankful we are to have had her as our wedding photographer and how much more thankful we are to have found someone for all of our future big milestones.

Second to NONE!!

Elle and her husband Ashton are the photography/videography team of your DREAMS!! Elle is so sweet and down to earth and truly cares that you are absolutely head over heels in love with your photos. Everything from our first meeting, to our engagement session, to the last photo on our wedding day was simply impeccable. Elle and her team will make you feel like celebrities on your wedding day and they adapt seamlessly to the inevitable timeline changes to make sure your photos are PERFECT in every way. We couldn’t be more in love with EVERY photo, and our family and friends are equally as impressed. Thank you for capturing our day so PERFECTLY, Elle & team! We cannot stop swooning over our photos!!💜

Such a DREAM thanks to Elle and her team!!

Elle was by far our favorite vendor on our wedding day. She made both of us who are not comfortable in front of the camera, so comfortable on our wedding day. I can happily say that there is no photo we didn’t like and that each photo truly catches our emotions that day. We truly could not thank her and her team enough for capturing our beautiful day and all of our emotions into photos that we’ll cherish forever. Her photos are timeless and we are so happy to have them displayed all over our home.

By far my favorite vendor!!!

Elle was beyond amazing, from planning to execution she was a rockstar. As a wedding vendor myself I had high expectations for all of my vendors. The Elle Taylor team exceeded all my expectations they were all very professional. I love that her wedding package includes an engagement session. We had so much fun at our engagement session and it was a great way to get to know Elle and the photos were to die for. For the actual wedding day the Elle Taylor team was punctual and got to work right away. She made everyone feel comfortable and was able to capture the most beautiful and natural photos. Before the special dances Elle and Ashton surprised us with a preview slideshow of photos and videos. It was a super special touch and had me beaming from ear to ear. At the end of the night the preview images she posted were so gorgeous I immediately ordered prints. The Wednesday after the wedding Elle put together an amazing blog and everyone I shared it with was blown away. It made me want all my photos even more!!! On my one week anniversary Elle delivered our full photo gallery!!! I was shocked because it was estimated to take 40 days. This was the best surprise and it was so special to be able to look at all our photos one week after the wedding. If you are looking for an amazing photographer and videographer look no further you have found the best team right here. I look forward to working with Elle in the future for family photos and recommending her to all my clients!

Elle & Her Team are a DREAM Come True!

Elle and her team were a complete DREAM to work with! Once we saw Elle's photos on Instagram, we knew we wanted her to capture our big day. What we did not know is just how accommodating, sweet, kind, and amazing she would be. From capturing each moment to calming our nerves as we prepared to walk down the aisle, Elle's constant smile and easy nature was exactly what we needed.

Also joining Elle on our wedding day was her husband and videographer, Ashton, and her assistant. Having this team make sure to capture each moment for eternity put us at ease as the day really did go by super fast.

Elle posted a set of our photos on Instagram the night of our wedding and sent us our previews the very next day! After a few short weeks our entire gallery with over a thousand images was ready. We spent hours looking at our photos and can't get enough of them. We are absolutely in love with each of them. To say we are immensely grateful would be an understatement. We HIGHLY recommend this amazing photography team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
