Professional, Talented, Listens, Compassionate

Met Petr in person prior to the wedding, he asked very targeted questions to see who we are, likes/dislikes, what WE wanted, ideas, concepts, etc.

Petr talked about his experiences, challenges and conceptual ideas he has and has wanted to shoot.

I booked him and his son for a 7hrs session which included artistic shots of the gown, tux, jewelry and of bride and groom getting dressed. Everything was very respectfully done, asking permission instead of forgiveness. He gave very clear directions for just the right shots.

I'm running out of room . . . and you get the idea.

Photos were delivered via USPS less than four months after the wedding.

Thank you so much Petr for capturing everything with the right perspective and feel.

Responsive, easy-to-work-with photographer and beautiful photos!

Peter is an amazing photographer, and I am so happy that we chose him for our wedding. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

His response time was lightning fast every single time I contacted him, from the first message all the way through the wedding. His turn-around time for photos was incredibly fast as well (We got our engagement photos back in 2 days, and a ton of wedding sneak-peeks in 4 days). Of all the wedding photographers I reached out to, he was by far the most responsive.

Peter was wonderful the day of. He's able to strike a perfect balance of getting the important shots, without being intrusive or annoying. We got all of the beautiful posed pictures, sunset pictures, family pictures and bridal party pictures we wanted, and he also could sense when we had enough of pictures and just needed a moment to relax and party. Peter even went the extra mile on the day-of and drove my giant, heavy wedding to the venue when I made a last-minute decision to put it on there instead of my house. Seriously amazing!

I can't say enough good things about our pictures. They are phenomenal, gorgeous, absolutely perfect, and really captured our essence as a couple. Our wedding included all different kinds of lighting conditions (inside, outside, sunset, before and after-dark) and all of the photos are stunning.

My husband and I both feel a bit awkward taking posed photos, but Peter put us at ease, and was able to pose us and guide us so that we got great shots. He had no problem with us taking some goofy, weird pictures as well, and he got some great pictures of my dog that I'll cherish forever.

If you are looking for an amazing photographer, I highly recommend that you contact Peter.

Beautiful work by Peter Ellens Photography!

Peter was amazing! He paid attention to detail and helped pose everyone so it looked natural. I was impressed with not only his photo taking skills, but with the time he took to get everyone ready for the photos. He made us feel comfortable and reminded us to have fun! I can't wait for the rest of the photos. I highly recommend him 100%. Thank you Peter Ellens Photography!!

Amazing photographer

I 100% recommend Peter Ellen's photography. Not only did he return to me to a of photos within a few days, they're also absolutely stunning. He is a complete professional and makes you feel comfortable taking pictures on your special day. He tells you exactly what shot he's envisioning and makes sure he gets it! Amazing amazing work.

Beautiful photos that told the story of our wedding day

Peter and his team are really responsive communicators and are adept at reading the room and understanding the moments (both planned and candid) that need to be captured. They were really gracious about our requests for day-of photography, and they photographed our wedding in a way that tells a story (which is especially great because we did not hire a videographer). They also did an excellent job accounting for the surrounding space in each photograph. The team was also really kind about helping us get a little more comfortable in front of the camera - they have lovely senses of humor. Our photos (engagement and wedding) came out beautifully, and we have over a thousand wonderful photos of ourselves and of our guests. We received our photos within the promised time frame on a thumb drive with the ability to print our photos through any printing service we like. We had a really great experience and will definitely be recommending this team to our friends and family for future weddings.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
