Your auckland-based Wedding & elopement photographer
As a child, I loved to paint—from wobbly stick figures of my family to sparkly rainbows, flowers, and animals, with colours smudged across my cheeks, hands, and anything within reach. I still remember the joy it brought me, seeing faces light up with exaggerated “oohs” and “aahs” whenever I gifted someone my latest masterpiece. It was my love language, my way of connecting with the world.
It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a paintbrush, because I found a new obsession: photography. Documenting the connection between couples is now my art.
Beyond aesthetics, there’s something deeply sacred about capturing the unspoken emotions and quiet truths layered within each frame: a look, a touch, a tender smile.
That connection grew even stronger when I had my boys, realising just how quickly time rushes by. Moments I wish I could pause and live in forever—like holding their entire world in my arms, or soothing them back to sleep after a nightmare.
But at least, I’ll always have photos to remember. And that’s my hope for you too: that your photos will help you remember how it felt in each moment of your day.
Memories you can hold
It’s the way he looks at you when you're not looking.
The way your mum holds her breath watching her little girl walk down the aisle.
The way the wind that lifts your veil at just the right second.
The way your heart swells when you simply let go and surrender to the moment.

These are the moments that remind me why I love what I do—because at the end of the day, it’s never just a photo.

"Ellie was the most fabulous wedding photographer we could've asked for. She was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and helped our day run so smoothly. Her photos are just gorgeous too, of course!
She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and managed to get sooo many awesome photos without keeping us away from our guests for very long at all!
We'd highly recommend booking Ellie!"
