ABOUT ME 

MY WORK

HI, I'M ELLI!

I'm a Los Angeles wedding photographer specializing in documentary style weddings, engagements, and lifestyle photography.  I have photographed close to 100 weddings and elopements over the past 7 years and have been featured in Ruffled Blog, 100 Layer Cake, The New York Times, A Practical Wedding, and Santa Barbara Weddings.  I photograph weddings often from Santa Barbara to Joshua Tree but love to travel and will travel anywhere in the world to document your love.

I live for capturing the little, otherwise unnoticed moments and expressions of honest and true love.  I then string all of them together to tell your story. I want to create the images of you two that you will hang above your fireplace, but even more important for my clients is to create a set of images that cause you to relive your day all over again for all the years to come.  One client's testimonial really portrays what I want my clients to walk away with "The pictures she took are some of my favorites. It makes me a little emotional just thinking about it because everyone looks like they're happy, having a good time, and like we all love each other. All those things are true, of course, but to get that all so clearly from a picture is precious."

MY CLIENTS

My couples are kind and caring humans.  They love each other unconditionally. They are drawn to my documentary style of capturing a wedding day and feel like friends by the time the day arrives. It excites me to witness how each couple chooses to celebrate their love in their own unique way. Whether it's eloping just the three of us on the cliffs of Big Sur, or a large dinner party in the desert with all your nearest and dearest, I will be there blending in and capturing it all with a big ole grin on my face.

We hired Elli for our Big Sur elopement with a short notice, and she immediately jumped right in & was such a pleasure to work with. She is an immensely talented photographer - and it seems to come so naturally as she was just so easy going throughout the entire day. We'd never had professional photos done together, and she made us feel completely comfortable and captured SO MANY moments from our special day that we will treasure forever. Elli provided us with hundreds of priceless photos - an incredible value for the amount of time & skill she puts into her work. Can't recommend her enough!

Samantha & Noah

Elli has the most beautiful eye & a unique talent for capturing light, but she also has this insane talent to make you comfortable in front of the lens. She coached us so subtly that we felt like we were just having a fun & intimate hike without the camera pointed at us. She continued to be amazing at our wedding. She not only captured beautiful images & moments, but she captured the emotion of the day. You can feel the emotions of every photo as you flip through the album. I have received so many compliments on my photos. 5 stars doesn't do her justice, she is incredibly talented & a ray of sunshine!

Annie & Ben

The mark of a good photographer is blending into the background and capturing the greatest moments of an event, and Elli accomplished just that. Elli photographed our wedding in a remote venue in Joshua Tree and she did a brilliant job! She took the most epic shots, incorporating the beautiful desert landscape, and made sure that everything we wanted to be shot was included. She is a true professional when it comes to getting the perfect picture. Elli is also just the sweetest and most fun to be around, and you can tell that she truly loves what she does. Having her as our wedding photographer was amazing.
