our approach

documenting candid moments as they unfold

Having captured over 350 weddings and countless engagements & proposals over the past 10 years, our approach is to document candid moments as they unfold while providing direction and posing guidance throughout the day to create gorgeous, yet authentic images.

You won't have to worry about things like.. What should I do with my hands? Is my hair okay? Does my smile look awkward? We got your back. Pinky promise.

If you're looking for a natural, relaxed and most importantly, FUN Orlando photography & videography experience then you've come to the right place. We will do all of the heavy lifting for you on the wedding day to make sure you & your guests enjoy every moment without any added stress.

When I'm not behind a camera, you can find me doing yoga, getting an iced espresso with my daughter, cuddling with my mini schnauzer Paris, or traveling the world.

I also enjoy donating my time and talent to worthy causes and local non-profit organizations. I am proud to be a volunteer photographer for the Wedding Wish, a non-profit who offers grants to couples facing life altering health circumstances and Ronald McDonald House who helps families of children receiving medical treatment.

If you're picking up what I'm putting down, let me know-- I'd love to meet you!

I do my best work with clients that describe themselves as laid-back, open minded, and fun loving. My clients trust me and my team to take the wheel and are happy to come along for the ride!

my story

Incredibly personal connections, new friends, the ability to make a difference, and the flexibility to be the mom I want to be. I love what I do with every piece of my heart and I'm grateful to my clients that allow me to do what I love every day.

In 2013 after almost 7 years working as a corporate banking manager for a company I thought I'd retire from, I was truly miserable. Organizational changes in the business had left me in a place where I was no longer happy, yet felt trapped. At the end of that year I had saved up enough to quit my job! I was finally free-- but I had no earthly clue what I wanted to do.

On a whim, I bought a camera and figured I'd play around with taking pictures until I figured out my next move. Over the next several months I found myself engulfed in photography. I checked out the entire photography section at my local library and spent hours on end learning and practicing. Three months later, I was hired to shoot my first wedding. It was instant love!

Being a full-time photographer has given me everything I ever wanted in a career—

"Elle is a fantastic photographer and an incredible individual.

From the moment we met her I felt at ease and like I could already call her family. She has an amazing eye for detail and lighting and makes every shot amazing."

Let's be honest-- I may be the brains of the operation (humbly so!) but it takes a village to do what we do, how we do it. Although some photography + videography companies contract out their secondary photographers or videographers, I believe the special sauce lies in having a team that treats the business like it's theirs. I've been super fortunate to have been able to compile an all-star entourage over the years and they are all truly amazing.
