My desire with capturing stories with both a documentary and cinematic touch is to paint the big moments and the fleeting ones, the “i do” moments along with the catching of eyes, the laughter and smiles and the hugs with loved ones. My artistry also seeks to document these moments cinematically. We all know how it feels to put on a movie and cry, noticing all the moments, the love, the details. I seek to create this emotion through the way i capture it. A movie of your life: real, dynamic, artful and authentic. In my opinion, these two styles intertwined creates the perfect mix.

The wait is hard, I know!!! For weddings, you’ll receive sneak peeks within 48 hours so you have something to swoon over right away, followed by your final images in a beautiful online gallery where you can view, download & share them with all your favourite people. Full wedding gallery turnaround is 8-10 weeks. Couples & Family session turnaround is 3-4 weeks.
Take me with you!!! I photograph weddings throughout BC, Ontario & beyond. For regular weddings and sessions in Canada, travel is $0.75/km after the first 100km from Chatham (for Ontario) & Chilliwack (in BC) ; for destination weddings, travel is quoted separately based on your location and dates and typically includes flights, accommodation & local transportation.
Honestly? Some of my favourite photographs happen when the weather decides not to cooperate!!! A little wind, rain, fog or moody sky can make for some seriously beautiful images. We’ll keep an eye on things, make adjustments when needed (like maybe finding another location for photos!), and embrace what the day gives us, because your story doesn’t need perfect weather to be beautiful.
The best part of this work will always be the people who invite me into their lives.
"I have had three shoots with sweet Ella - one commemorating my now-husband and I, my engagement & my wedding. I CANNOT wait for her to capture our story again in another stage! Every single experience with Ella leaves us feeling more connected and with an indelible happiness! Ella is a gem - she is gifted with a calm and grace about her that leaves you relaxed and completely able to enjoy the presence of your family and loved ones in a natural warmth (stress free!!) that truly captures the emotion and feelings that bubble up in your relationships. She has been patient, kind, actively listens to our vision & seeks feedback and a creative license for our shoots in ways that are unparalleled to other photographers! The way she eases stress, brings creativity, and supports your vision in the wedding planning stage and throughout creating a timeline and vision for family photos was geniuenly a lifesaver!"
"She always provides timely sneak peeks that add to the excitement for your portfolio to come in. For our wedding, Ella + Zak were such a pleasure to have and created intimate moments for my husband and I in the midst of a beautiful but very busy day! Our family LOVES them both & the energy they bring so much - truly. My husband and I are so grateful for Ella - she truly brought our vision to life and encapsulated our wedding story in a way that felt like a fairytale. I highly recommend her to everyone I meet and frequently receive requests for her when I share our photos! you won't regret an experience with her!"
"From the moment Ella arrived, she was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely warm—it felt like having a close friend with us rather than just a vendor. She made us feel completely comfortable and at ease all day long.
What truly stood out was how attentive she was. I never once had to ask her to capture a moment. Every time I thought, “I should find her for this,” she was already there, camera in hand, knowing exactly what we would want before we even said it.
She was calm, kind, and present throughout the entire day, and it showed in how smoothly everything flowed. We would recommend her a thousand times over to anyone looking for not just a talented photographer, but a truly lovely person to share such an important day with."
"She took couples photos for my partner and I. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Ella gave clear guidance when needed while still allowing us to be ourselves, making the entire session feel natural and enjoyable. The final photos captured us beautifully. Every image was lovely and the attention to detail, lighting, and emotion truly showed. The photos perfectly reflect the memories of our time together."
