Let's get personal..


I’m Ellen — an aesthete and an introvert with a deep love for light, storytelling, and the kind of moments that make your heart ache in the best possible way. Photography has always been a quiet calling for me — a way to gather up the intangible: the laughter that lingers in a room after everyone’s gone, the squeeze of a hand before vows are spoken, the sleepy stretch of a newborn in their mother’s arms. I photograph weddings, elopements, and family portraits because I believe in the beauty of real connection — the kind that doesn’t need staging or direction, only trust and presence.


My inspiration comes from the things I hold dearest: vintage photo albums filled with soft, fading edges; golden light spilling over fields; the hush of a quiet Sunday at home. Becoming a mother shifted everything — it taught me just how quickly the seasons pass, and how sacred it is to press pause with a photograph. That’s why I approach each session with heart and intention. Whether you’re dancing barefoot into married life or soaking up the sleepy rhythm of early parenthood, I’m there to capture it all — tenderly, truthfully, and with a gentle eye for the in-between.


Photography, to me, is about honouring the present so it can be felt again in the future. These aren’t just images — they’re heirlooms in the making. And I would be honoured to create them with you.
