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! -

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!!!Elle Taylor Photography's reply:
Thank you so much, Hannah!! We couldn't imagine ringing in the New Year any other way -

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!Elle Taylor Photography's reply:
Awww, Mindy!! We absolutely ADORED being part of your big day and getting to photograph and film it. Thank you so, so much for the kind words!! -

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!Elle Taylor Photography's reply:
KATHY! This is the sweetest, oh my goodness!!! We absolutely loved being part of your day! Thank you so much!!! -

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!!💜 -

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.Elle Taylor Photography's reply:
This is the sweetest!!! We LOVED your wedding day so much -

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 Taylor Photography's reply:
Oh, Amy!!! This is so so kind!! Thank you so much for the sweetest words-it was such a joy & honor capturing your day! :) -

Kayley P. Sent on 08/01/2022Elle & 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!Elle Taylor Photography's reply:
I just ADORE you guys!!! Thank you so much for the sweetest words-it was such an honor for us to photograph & film your best day! -

Hannah M. Sent on 07/07/2022Incredible photographer and person!
TRULY AMAZING. I cannot recommend her enough. It is so important to have vendors you trust and having Elle put me at so much ease on my wedding day. Prior to the day we had communicated about what my husband and I wanted for photos and the goals of the day and I had literally no doubt that she was going to capture everything. As soon as she came on the wedding day she was a fun and calming presence and was truly an angel. She was so professional and yet a friend at the same time! Heck, she even put my veil in for me when it wasn't sitting just right! She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND and is the sweetest soul. She is so easy to work with and her communication was impeccable. She made wedding planning sooo much easier. Now for her photos!!! AMAZED, it makes me re-live my wedding day every time I look at them. Her photographs transport you to the day by capturing moments big and small and you can truly feel the vibe of the day by just looking at the pictures. She had a great mix of candid shots and classic posed photos and also handled a VERY large family formals list with ease. Elle's work is incredible, her photographs captured our wedding beautifully. I honestly would recommend her to any one of my friends or family. It was so nice to have a photographer I felt connected with and felt like I had a friend photographing my wedding. So if you are on the fence about hiring her, just do yourself a favor and do it (:Elle Taylor Photography's reply:
Excuse me while I cryyyyyyy-you're the best!! :) Thank you so much for the sweetest words. It was such a huge honor to photograph your best day, and I'm so thankful to have made a friend in you in the process! :) -

Elle did an incredible job capturing our wedding day! I knew we were in great hands after booking with her. Her communication, thoughtfulness, and genuine heart shine through her work! She is a true artist capturing some of the small details to the larger moments throughout the day of the wedding. We are SO thrilled with how all the photos turned out. When we received our whole gallery it was like reliving the day all over again. Thank you! We love your work!Elle Taylor Photography's reply:

I cannot say enough good things about Elle. She is one of the sweetest, warmest souls I have ever met. She really knows how to make you feel special & comfortable.
Although I would have probably hired her on personality alone, that is just the half of it. Elle is extremely good at what she does. She makes taking pictures so fun & really gets to know what angles are best for the person she is photographing. She also captured every moment of our big day, even things that I didn’t think about.
Her crew (husband, Ashton & 2nd shooter Meg) were absolutely phenomenal as well. They definitely matched the same positive energy that Elle gives, which was VERY helpful in keeping our spirits up while photographing in 20 degree WI weather (God bless their souls).
Ashton did the videography, and from the sneak peek I got I can even imagine how great the full film will be. So many special moments that I am so grateful we’re caught on film so we have them forever.
Last but not least. Not only is Elle amazing at her job & an awesome human to work with, but her turn around time is unmatched. The fact that I had photos to look at the night of my wedding is something I know many people can’t say. In addition I had my FULL gallery & a sneak peek video in less than 2 weeks. Everyone I talked to is so impressed with this - and clearly so am I.
To wrap this up, Elle, Ashton & Meg were all a crucial piece in making our big day absolutely perfect. To say I highly recommend is an understatement.
Love,

Elle is incredibly talented. Her beautiful photos speak for herself. From our first encounter to her final email of my photos, working with Elle has been nothing short of wonderful.
I met Elle in 11/19 from multiple referrals. I knew her skills would make an early December wedding look magical.
When I had to postpone our 2020 reception, Elle was completely understanding, and very flexible with the date changes. Unlike nightmares I heard from other brides, Elle didn't charge extra for the date change nor request the full contractual amount in 2020. On top of that all - Elle photographed my mini wedding and only asked 10% of the original contracted amount.
I am so impressed and satisfied with our wedding photos. If I had to do this all over again, I would still choose Elle to photograph my wedding. -

I could not have asked for a better person to capture our special day! From day one, Elle was quick to respond to the many questions I had with all things wedding. She was literally a bonus bridesmaid! Her attention to detail, kindness and patience were a blessing. I was freezing during pictures and she was so kind and put her jacket around my shoulders! We are absolutely in love with both our engagement photos and wedding photos. I highly recommend Elle, and cannot wait to have her capture more of our special moments in the near future! -

Okay, where to begin? From the very first email/phone exchange with Elle, I knew I had found 'the one' (photographer, that is)! She was so adamant on making sure she got to know Luke and I's story in order to better serve us. She was available for all of my last minute jitter fueled questions, and never made me feel like an annoyance for asking. NOW the wedding day, she and her team were amazing! They made sure to give us plenty of time for all the pictures we were wanting, and made Luke look like he actually wanted to be in pictures! She did such a great job making me and the whole wedding party feel so beautiful and at ease throughout the entire night, even when it would have been easy to rush and push the little things aside. I could rave for pages about the Elle Taylor Bridal experience, but I'm sure these review boxes have a word limit. THANK YOU ELLE for perfectly capturing my fairy tale wedding day! -

Elle and Ashton are an absolute pleasure to work with. They started the day not on time, but early, and came prepared for anything and everything-- packing their car with things from umbrellas to curling irons! When the weather took a turn and tornado warnings came, they were ready for it all with a plan B, and remained flexible and positive as we decided to change venues to accommodate the weather. Through it all, you would have had no clue the weather was chaotic in pictures, they make each and every person in your party feel comfortable and beautiful in their poses and prompts. There's not one shot they miss, even in a time crunch of weather chaos! They are the most perfect team. I could go on for hours about their work ethic and character; they are genuinely great people doing this for all the right reasons, the passion and happiness are written all over their face and in their actions. By the end of the day they didn't feel like photographers or videographers, but two friends we spent the day with, making our day all the more special and enjoyable.
Elle and Ashton (and their team) are worth every penny and more. As a bride I would change my date to fit their schedule if I had to, they're really the icing on top of your wedding day experience. They go above and beyond from the moment you inquire through the weeks after your wedding. You can't just find any vendor like them for your wedding, so happy I chose to be an #ElleTaylorBride, and I'd do it again if I could!Elle Taylor Photography's reply:
You are truly the sweetest, and it was an honor to photograph (and film) your best day!! Ps I don't know how I'm *just* now responding to this, haha!! Thank you so much -

Lord help me not ramble too too much about how AMAZING Elle & Ashton are! I cannot say enough good things about these two or express fully how much I not only recommend them but insist you choose them for your wedding. When I sat down and started looking up wedding photographers on Instagram (lol) I came across Elle's page and instantly fell in love with her style of photography. As I looked through the pictures I almost felt the love radiating from the pictures if that makes sense lol. I knew I had to reach out to her and get all the info on how to have her as our photographer. After we had booked her we took a LONG time to try and find a wedding videographer and we just could not find one that matched what we were looking for so when Elle announced that her husband was going to be joining her and adding videography as something they offer I immediately ran right to my email thread and told her I wanted to add it onto our package. BEST DECISION. I cannot tell you how many times I have cried watching our sneak peak film or looking through our photos on her blog. Seriously I cannot recommend this duo enough. Thank you Elle & Ashton AGAIN.. lol for capturing our day so perfectly. Everything turned out better than I could have ever imagined. If you're looking to book Elle........ DO IT & add Ashton as your videographer! You won't regret it!Elle Taylor Photography's reply:
Oh my goodness, GIRL!!! Thank you so so much for these sweet words -

Brooke K. Sent on 06/26/2021The BEST decision we made!!
Where do I even begin… First off, Elle is hands down one of the sweetest humans you will ever meet. As if her work doesn’t speak for itself, the minute I met her and started chatting I knew we made the right choice!
We’ve been married 3 weeks now and we had the most beautiful day, but the amount of compliments we’ve received on our photos blows everything else out of the water and we are STILL getting comments!! I can’t even put into words how blown away both myself and everyone else was with her work.
You will get a handful of previews right away and a blog post which to be honest I would have been happy with just those! BUT I was absolutely floored when I saw our full gallery! I look at them at LEAST once a day because I am just so obsessed with them. Elle is insanely talented and her creativity shines through in her photos.
You will feel like you are straight out of a bridal magazine, I promise!Elle Taylor Photography's reply:
Oh, Brooke!! All the happy tears over here -

I think most brides-to-be have heard one or two times the importance of investing in a good wedding photographer. And this couldn’t be more true! Once your big day comes and goes, all you have left are the memories. What better way to relive that day than with your wedding pictures?! Elle goes above and beyond to capture such special, unique moments. She photographed our wedding on 10/10/20, but also did our engagement pictures last year. It’s so special to walk through our dining room and see the photos she’s taken. I’m immediately taken back to the amazing memories we created. Her style is so elegant, her personality shines, and her photos speak for themselves. I would absolutely recommend Elle Taylor Photography for any special event to capture and preserve timeless memories of you and your loved ones! Thanks again for all you do, Elle! ❤️
