Hiiiii, I'm ella!
Your Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer from Kentucky
Ahhhh, fancy seeing you here! Welcome to my slice of the digital universe.
You can’t see me right now, but I may or may not be (internally) squealing in absolute excitement and doing a little happy dance—in my comfiest sweats and socks—around the kitchen right now…You can’t possibly imagine how thrilled and humbled I am that you’re curious enough to learn more about me.
But first things first, can we focus on you for a bit?
After all, you’re here because you’re looking for your dream photographer (fingers crossed, that’s me đź¤), who’ll capture your fabulous celebration and curate your blissful memories—while you and your boo do nothing but be fully present and immerse yourselves in the joy of it all.
Surrounded by your favorite people, your wedding is THE day you and your love will exchange your vows and commit to spending the rest of your days together. Trust me, it’ll feel almost unreal, a flood of deep emotions and fleeting in-between moments.
Bubbly champagne, fun confetti, and party tunes aside, I genuinely understand the sheer gravity of your once-in-a-lifetime day.
I know we haven’t met yet (but soon!!), so I’d love for us to meet and get to know each other, giving you peace of mind that your moments and memories will always be safe with me.
How’s that sound?
sounds perfect!

every couple, every word, fuels my why
Your experience starts from the moment we say “Hiiii”
yes, celebrate me, please!
I don’t just want you to fall in love with your wedding photos; I want you to feel like you can finally relax and breathe again from the moment we connect for the first time.
You can trust that I’ll do anything and everything to create a luxurious, meaningful experience for you both. Whether that’s helping you find other gorgeous vendors or being a listening ear when you need to blow off some steam.
Because, more than just timeless imagery, my overarching goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and celebrated throughout our entire journey together.
With all my heart, I completely respect the honor of being invited to play a role in one of your life’s most intimate moments. So, you already know that given the opportunity, it’s a privilege I’ll never take lightly.
That’s why I’m here, ready and waiting, to be your BIGGEST HYPE GIRL from our first meeting to long, loooong after your wedding day.
And, of course, until your beautiful day arrives, the seemingly millions of wedding planning to-dos in the lead-up can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve been dreaming about your picture-perfect celebration since forever, right?
My long-haired miniature dachshund, Remy, essentially dictates my life when I’m not shooting—he’s my 24/7 snuggle bear, and I wouldn’t trade him for the world!
Remy’s favorite toy is also a little sausage hot dog stuffed animal. You’ll always find him and that toy sitting on my apartment balcony, soaking in the sunshine while snooping on all the other people and dogs in the dog park below.
what my world spins around
Though he might be a little jealous of all the lovin’ that Remy’s getting, my boyfriend Brady and I have been together since our freshman year of high school!
When I’m not dragging him to the zoo (for the 1000th time), we love taking our pups out on playdates, watching movies, vintage-hunting in Goodwill bins, exploring new places, and taste-testing random food.
adventures with my love
I love, love, LOVEEEEE tropical places.
You’ll always find me chasing the sun, swimming in the water, or sipping an icy-cold sweet tea on the beach.
my ultimate happy place
Pizza, tacos, and mac and cheese—I eat all three on a weekly rotation. Send help more, please.
I hate coffee, but the Starbucks Strawberry Acai Refresher is my daily self-care ritual. I may or may not also have an Amazon subscription for Zevia Organic Tea…
um, yes, gimme more, please
My ultimate comfort watches are Gilmore Girls and Jane the Virgin.
Though I will admit I’ve been getting into more true crime docs lately, like "The Menendez Brothers," “Worst Roommate Ever,” and “Missing, Dead or Alive”... They totally creep me out, but I can’t get enough!!
(Thankfully, Remy’s always ready to be my cuddly bodyguard, haha!)
after a long day
Funnily enough, Brady and I both got puppies at the same time. He chose a Cane Corso (140+ lbs fully grown) when I got Remy (a measly 13 lbs fully grown). Talk about opposites, right?!
I’m scuba certified and love to go scuba diving whenever I can! So, if you can’t find me on land, I’ll probably be exploring the reefs or deep sea and trying my hand at underwater photography.

colossians 3:14
"And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony"
are you ready to tell your story?
Welcome to a world where every click of the shutter tells a story of you and your boo. Behind each photograph lies a passion for capturing those fleeting, tender moments that words often fail to describe. Imagine the warmth of a shared laugh, the sparkle in your eyes when you look at each other, and the gentle touch that says "I’m here, always."
My goal is to weave these small but significant fragments of your journey into a timeless tapestry of love and joy. Whether it's the playful banter during a spontaneous shoot or the whispered promises in a quiet moment, every image is a heartfelt reflection of your unique bond. Let's create something beautiful together, one frame at a time.
behind the photos
The Heart
begin your journey
With utmost sincerity, I’ll always hold space for your brightest, warmest moments, weaving them into visual poetry for all the feels and smiles.
Whenever nostalgia calls, you’ll always be able to rewind the clock with timeless imagery you can celebrate, reminisce, and deeply cherish—today, tomorrow, and forever.
