    Ellen made our wedding day SO FUN

    Ellen shot our wedding at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester, MA in April 2022. I met Ellen on my wedding morning and immediately knew she was going to make our day a blast. Ellen has such a calming and easy going presence. Our hotel room didn't have much natural light so she immediately grabbed our invitation suite and other details we wanted photographed and found the perfect lighting to shoot. She coached me through how to take a picture and how to pose while getting ready and got the cutest pictures of my 4 year old niece getting her hair and makeup done. Ellen was the true MVP of the weekend. Ellen brought the boutonnieres to the church for my husband, his dad and our ring bearers because we were all running a little late. After the ceremony my hair ended up coming undone and she had a bobby pin in her car and fixed my hair herself. My veil wouldn't stay in my hair and she carried it around all day and placed it back in my hair many times when she wanted it in a photo. She managed to capture beautiful family photos even with tired, crying toddlers. She worked so amazingly with our videographer and had a smile on her face the entire day. Looking at our guest's photos you can see her in the background grinning. You can truly tell how much she loves her job and I know that's why her work is so incredible. Someone asked me what my favorite part of our wedding was and the first thing that came to mine was simply taking photos with my husband. It was just so much fun and relaxing and calming too! Before the big day, my husband was hesitant about taking so many photos, but I think he even had more fun than me! We will 100% recommend Ellen to all our engaged friends :)

    The best in Boston!!

    Ellen is truly the GOAT. She had also been the photographer for my BFF's wedding and after that I immediately knew we made the right choice. Ellen is extremely personable and fits into your day seamlessly. She makes everything feel so easy and fun. The pictures from both our engagement session and our wedding are absolutely STUNNING. She captured both posed, as well as candid shots so beautifully. Do not wait another min and hire Ellen!!

    EEE (exceedingly excellent Ellen)

    We fell in love with Ellen's pictures from a friends engagement session and knew we wanted her for our wedding. She wasn't available for our original date, but when our date changed, I reached out again and as fate would have it, she was available! We couldn't have asked for a more creative, kind, organized and professional photographer to capture our day. Everyone from our wedding party could not stop talking about how amazing she was and how easy and quick pictures went. I would recommend Ellen to anyone who asks, and look forward to future events where our paths may cross!

    Amazing to work with and beautiful photos!!

    Hiring Ellen was the best decision we made for our wedding! Not only is she organized and so easy to work with, her photos and work are amazing!! On our wedding day, she was outgoing and fun and made the photo taking process relaxing and not stressful! Our bridal party only had great things to say about her attention to detail and ease to work with. I for one was super nervous about staying on time with our schedule, and Ellen took that stress out of my hands and managed the whole day of timeline herself!! We highly recommend hiring Ellen for your wedding!!

    The greatest photographer for the greatest day of our lives!

    Ellen was the photographer at my friend's wedding a few years ago and she was incredible! My husband and I were over the moon when we found out that she was available for ours! She truly is the kindest most genuine person we have ever had the pleasure of working with! She captured our day perfectly from start to finish. She was so professional and is an extremely talented photographer. We will forever "giggle on our way out" everytime we kiss, thanks to Ellen!
    To Ellen, thank you for capturing and being apart of the greatest day of our lives! We are forever grateful!

    Total package photographer!

    I remember Ellen giving great advice about picking a photographer: pick someone you enjoy spending time with because you spend a lot of your time with your photographer on your wedding day. When we first spoke with Ellen we just loved her—her manner, her professionalism, her unassuming confidence, and her great sense of humor. We definitely thought she was someone we would enjoy spending our day with! We hit the jackpot when we chose Ellen as our photographer. Like many couples during this pandemic, we went through date changes, wedding size changes, and lots of mixed emotions. Ellen was a wonderful partner through it all—responsive, helpful with suggestions based on her experience, and most importantly, kind and understanding. The day of our wedding was different than originally planned, but Ellen captured it beautifully. Our families LOVED her. She had to do deal with several mini-second shooters (nieces), as well as input from multiple family members—she handled it all graciously and skillfully. My husband and I cannot recommend her more highly for your wedding day. She is the best!

    Ellen is the best!

    Ellen was the MVP for our 2020 wedding. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic was a challenge but working with Ellen was not. She kept in touch with us for months leading up to our wedding to share ideas on how to keep the event on schedule while adhering to COVID restrictions, helped our officiant put together a video for guests who were not in attendance and generally went above and beyond to ensure we had the best damn COVID wedding we could. She even taught my husband and I how to pose (without looking like idiots) for both our wedding and engagement shoots and we have the photos to prove it. It was important to us to work with vendors that were great at what they do but also genuinely amazing people, and Ellen couldn't have been a better match.

    Destination Wedding Review

    Ellen did an amazing job capturing our destination wedding. She was extremely organized and prepared leading up to the big day. When we had to make some big last-minute decisions due to weather, Ellen was extremely flexible. She even went so far as to talking to the wedding planner for me to take some of the burden off my back. She kept me calm and at ease through all the unforeseen changes with the venue. We got our pictures back in a timely manner and they were all amazing. We can’t say enough about Ellen and her work. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She is truly talented and I would highly recommend her!

    Fun, Talented, and Professional!

    Ellen was a dream to work with! From our very first meeting, my husband and I knew we had found the perfect photographer. Not only is is she extremely talented, but she is so down to earth and knows how to corral even the most rambunctious of groups! We had 5 young children in our wedding party and some of them just weren't having it when it came to picture time post-ceremony; however, somehow with her charm and ease, Ellen was able to capture some of the most unforgettable moments! She truly has an eye for making your wedding memories come true. Ellen, thank you for everything, from our beautiful engagement shoot to the ceremony shots, portraits, and the amazing dance party! Ellen's personality is one that you will find very easy to work with and she certainly delivers the best results!

    Could not be happier :)

    Oh my gosh- could not have asked for more. Ellen's work is professional, creative, and just beautiful, but what makes it so easy to work with her is how she takes care of EVERYTHING. When so many things are happening, so many plates in the air, it is so comforting to know that this area is taken care of. Would (and have been) recommend to literally anyone who asks. Could you not have asked for more!

    Ahhmazing!!!

    Ellen was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. Her organization and experience was the glue that kept our day together. She ensured we have every photo we could ever want without us evening noticing she was taking them. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, she’s your gal!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Ellen is an amazing photographer! She captured our wedding day perfectly and was sure to take the pictures we requested, plus some! The pictures we received in our gallery were beautiful and we had PLENTY of options to choose from. I would highly recommend Ellen!

    Amazing! We can't thank you enough

    After our first phone call we knew we had made the right choice to hire Ellen. She knew exactly how to capture our day! So accommodating from trying to schedule our engagement shoot between rain showers to shooting our wedding on the hottest day of the summer. Her talent is clearly reflected in all of our photos. PLUS she is fun to be around!

    Amazing Experience

    The day of our wedding was very hectic and stressful due to some weather complications. Through it all, Ellen was super flexible and accommodating. She went with the flow and took some of the most gorgeous pictures of myself and my husband that I have ever seen. She was patient and calm, making the whole experience really pleasant and relaxing. I could not recommend her highly enough if someone asked.

    Professional and Friendly.

    Ellen was exceptionally professional. Her service goes far beyond quality photos. She was able to organize out wedding party in an efficient and friendly manor. We took all desired photos and still had plenty of time entertain our guests. Friendly, efficient and wonderful. You can't go wrong hiring Ellen.

    Best. Photographer. Ever.

    Ellen is someone you dream of having when you are searching for your ideal wedding photographer. As soon as I saw her work, I knew she was “the one” to capture our wedding day. Throughout the whole process, Ellen was easy to talk to and very organized. On our actual wedding day, it felt like Ellen was a part of our group...she even helped me put my veil on when my sister and I couldn’t secure it properly! She had a way of making everyone feel so comfortable and confident in front of her lens. Since finding Ellen and sharing her work with my family and friends, she has quickly been hired to photograph other people we are close with.

    Ellen is one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding day and we feel so lucky to have had her document such an important day in our lives. I have a feeling she will be running in our “tribe” for years to come and we could not be more thrilled!

    Highly recommend!

    Ellen was an amazing wedding photographer! She was so progressional, responsive and talented. I don’t even remember how I stumbled upon Ellen, but I am so happy I did. Our winter engagement photos were a perfect way to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Ellen knew exactly what poses to do and I am beyond happy with her work. Our wedding day weather did not cooperate and Ellen was ready with a back up plan to give us amazing photos. The turn around time for having photos was quick. I would highly recommend Ellen!

    Amazing photographer!

    Ellen is incredible. Not only does she capture amazing moments through her photos, she made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire engagement shoot and our wedding day. She takes the time to really get to know her clients and deliver on what they want, and then some! Would recommend over and over.

    Capturing It All!

    Working with Ellen for our engagement shoot through our wedding was better than I could have ever imagined! Neither my husband or I are very comfortable in front of cameras, but she made the experience easy and fun! Best of all - she captured the greatest photos of our dog, which made it all the more special! Ellen's flexibility, calmness, and expertise is exactly what we needed and I couldn't be more pleased with the results!

    Highly recommend! The best photographer I’ve had the pleasure of working with!

    My husband and I have known Ellen since childhood. When she started her business I had no question she’d be a major success. She had always posted pictures on social media that were better than any others you’d scroll through in your feed. I always loved how she’d capture the “action moments” - when people weren’t expecting it. We were thrilled when she agreed to photograph our wedding in the Bahamas, making this her first destination wedding as photographer. Prior to that we did an engagement session at my parents on a cold, fall day. It could have been a brutal experience, but she made it so much fun! I can’t speak highly enough about how Ellen is able to capture the most intimate moments. She has it down to a science and what she has you do during the sessions you’ll never believe will produce the pictures that they do! One thing that I really enjoyed was that she gave us a sneak peek of a few pictures that same day! It really made it exciting to see what more was to come. As for our wedding, there really are no words for how spectacular our pictures came out. Ellen researched the resort the day before so she knew where she’d want to bring us, and I couldn’t be happier with the locations she brought us to. She handles a big group better than anyone possibly could. There were 26 of us, and we were in a bit of a time crunch before sunset, but she was able to capture all of the different group photos that we had hoped for, and they turned out better than we ever could have imagined. A photographer is one thing I would never skimp on when it comes to an investment in my wedding. Pictures are what you have forever. Ellen is worth every penny. (Oh, and when she tries to convince you to do a “first look” - because she will - do it!)

    Ellen was amazing!

    We can’t thank her enough for giving us wedding photos that we will treasure forever. From our engagement photo shoot to the wedding day, Ellen was great to work with and made the entire process very easy. She is organized, thoughtful, and is just so fun to work with! She helps you plan out the photography timeline to make sure she gets all your “must” shots along with discussing any other ideas she may have. Being front and center all day for photos can make anyone nervous, but Ellen made everyone laugh and feel comfortable, which can be a difficult thing to do. She managed to coordinate and direct a 20+ person wedding party and did it with such ease. The wedding party had so much fun with her throughout the day that they even wanted to get photos with her in the photo-booth we had. My family and friends keep complimenting me on the photos and can’t get over how beautiful they are! Ellen captured each moment perfectly and we can’t stop looking at them! She also captured the creative, impromptu moments that ended up being some of our favorite pictures from the day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be such a tough decision, but we LOVED Ellen and we couldn’t have imagined having anyone else capture our day! It was one of the best wedding decisions we made!

    The pictures from your wedding day will be some of the only ways you can look back on that amazing day. Ellen captures each and every moment so perfectly. She is even there to help you throughout so much of the planning and decision making process leading up to that special day. We couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing our special day and neither will you!

    The. Best. Hands. Down.

    Ellen was above and beyond one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning (and in life in general!!). She was warm, easy to talk to and made our experience so special. As a couple, we have never felt truly comfortable in front of a camera, but all of that changed with Ellen. She made us laugh and she put us at ease and now we have GORGEOUS photos to show for it. Without being 'bossy', she directed us with our poses and expressions and captured our wedding day perfectly. The emotions and moments from the day are on display in each photo and we couldn't be happier with the results. Ellen is insightful, helpful, patient, flexible and is a huge resource when you are trying to plan a wedding. Plus she is amazing at wrangling children, which was a huge plus! Ellen took very good care of us and we are forever grateful for her services.

    Ellen was so amazing! She is creative and flexible, and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her pricing is very reasonable! She is extremely organized and keeps in touch about questions she has in order to capture the day's events exactly as the bride and groom want. She is thorough in her thoughts and offers input and suggestions in order to provide the best shots. To top it off, Ellen is VERY good with children! I recommend Ellen for any type of photography session from senior portraits, to family sessions, to weddings.

    Ellen is the best photographer I've ever worked with. She's incredibly professional—showing up on time, delivering images incredibly quickly, and all the little details that matter. But even more importantly, she made the entire process easy and comfortable for me. I was worried we would be nervous in front of the camera, but Ellen's direction was not only helpful, but I have no doubt that it's what made the finished product as wonderful as it is. She was a joy to work with and spend the day with. You couldn't ask for anything more!
