    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.

    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.

    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.

    Thanks Robert! You’re welcome , it allays compliments ,when photographer hire me to do a wedding pictures! It’s Was lot of fun to work with you guys!!!

    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!!

    Choosing Peter for our photographer had to be one of the best choices we made for our wedding.! He was beyond amazing for both our engagement pictures and our wedding. He and his wife work perfectly together and know all the best shots and angles. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed, through the entire process. We had so much fun with them and we NEVER felt rushed during any of the events. Peter got our photos back so quickly and they were all beyond gorgeous. If we could give them over 5 stars we would!!

    Peter and his assistant were amazing. They showed up a little early and got started. He captured every moment we wanted and more. He even stayed a little later than what was planned to get some more amazing pictures for us. After only a few days he sent us over 100 amazing photos and said they’re will be more to come soon!

    We had the pleasure of working with Peter for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He is very artistic and captured our special moments in a beautiful way. He went over and beyond to make sure our day was memorable. He was very professional and catered to all of our requests. His creativity is amazing and we highly recommend him and his family!

    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 were having a difficult time finding a photographer to work with because our wedding was so small, but Peter had everything worked out and reassured us that we would still have the same quality work as any larger wedding. We could not have picked better! Our pictures all turned out amazing! For the candid shots I didn’t even notice that he was there. Peter and his wife were extremely professional and communication was very easy. Peter really understood what it was we were wanting, as far as key moments, and delivered beautifully. I have had several friends comment on ho beautiful the pictures were and how perfect everything turned out. Peter and his wife were a great help to us and we couldn’t have asked for better! We would highly recommend PeterEllens to photograph anyone’s event!

    Peter and Ellen were a dream to work with. We could not be any happier. The photos we got were exactly what we wanted and our guests were raving about how professional and fun Peter and Ellen were. We feel that they could be charging way more for the quality of their work. We are very thankful for their willingness to withstand hills and mosquitos to get exactly the right photos. Do yourself a favor and book them for your photo needs!

    Peter provided the photography services for our daughter’s wedding. He did a fabulous job. He provided us with a wide variety of photos - from formal posed photographs to a wide variety of informal reception shots. His nighttime shots were stunning. We wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again!

    Searching for a wedding photographer can be an extremely challenging and stressful task . Once we found Peter Ellens Photography all of the stress was lifted . Peter and Ellen are professionals in every since of the word . They have a way of making you feel like family right away . They genuinely care about how you feel and what you want your memories to look like .
    On the day of our wedding my Husband and I were very busy and of course I had little time or desire to manage any one project . Thank God I was able to focus on the day and the experience . Peter and Ellen made the day easy and fun . Honestly at the end of the day I looked at my husband and said “ I feel like we should pay them more “ they are worth every penny . We have since received several edited photos all of which are unbelievable. We will be using Peter Ellens Photography for all of our major events in life . Thank you Peter and Ellen for preserving our memories and loving us through the process .

    Peter and Ellen are such an amaizing team of professionals! I would highly recommend them for any special event. We had the opportunity to take engagement photos and both Peter and Ellen were so great with working on what we wanted and the look we were going for. Oh, and did I mention how affordable they are!! Now a days it is so hard to find great quality photos within a budget but not only did they work with us, but they offered payments! Overall, I am so happy I found them and I look forward to booking them again in the future.

    My husband and I recently just got married and we used Peter Ellens Photography at our wedding. Peter and his wife were fantastic!! They were friendly, professional, accommodating, knew their way around photos and various venues, and most importantly, they made sure that our photos were done the way we wanted them to. On top of that, we also had a blast taking pics. The best part is that we didn't have to wait long to get or wedding pics back. After looking through them, we can definitely say that Peter Ellens Photography is a business that we'll recommend for anyone's special occasion. And their prices are incredibly reasonable too! We highly recommend Peter Ellens Photography to anyone and everyone!
