Jawdroppingly amazing!!!

Having Ellie as our photographer was the best decision we could have made! Her work is truly beyond words—it’s a masterpiece, absolutely stunning in every way. From the start, I felt so confident that she would capture everything perfectly, thanks to the amazing meetings we had beforehand. I still can’t believe how lucky we are to have had her as our wedding photographer. Not only is Ellie's work absolutely amazing, she is such an incredible human. Working with her was a dream and I loved every second of getting to know her. I truly felt such a connection with her and so comfortable, which is not typical for me in front of the camera! I could not recommend her more!!!

Simply the best! An amazing talent and a wonderful human being!

We can't gush enough about working with Ellie before, during and after our daughter's wedding! Her work is next level and we have the most fabulous photographs that are incredible pieces of art. It's worth every penny to put something so precious as once-in-a-lifetime images in her oh so capable hands. She's also a beautiful soul, inside and out.

The best photographer and videographer team in the industry!

Ellie and Taylor are the best in the buisness! We hired Ellie and Taylor for our daughter's wedding last weekend. Ellie and Taylor we absolutely amazing, they were everywhere the whole entire day, from getting ready, the limo ride, the church ceremony, the venue they captured the entire wedding from start to finish!

Their communication, their vision, and their photos are spectular. Ellie brought Andrea's vision to life and soon we can relive the entire day with the wedding video over and over again.

We started communicating with Ellie about a year before the wedding, Ellie has a questionaire, she studies the bride and groom! She wants to gets to know the couple she is photographing! When we saw the engagement photos Ellie took we knew she is truly the best photographer in the industry!

It was a pleasure working with Ellie and her team! We highly recommend them!

If you need a photographer Ellie McKinney was recommended to us over and over again. We are so glad we chose Ellie and her team!
