Expect to feel comfortable and at ease. My style is 80% candid! Of course I’m going to throw in those posed grandmas fridge photos! But a lot of my couples have never had professional pictures taken before and they are so nervous on what to do and how to act behind the camera! I try my very hardest to make everyone as comfortable as I can behind the camera. I know it can be super awkward and uncomfortable at first but at the end everyone always says how easy it was!! I'm always giving you constant direction so you never have to worry what your next move will be. 

When you come to your session be prepared to move! I am super movement based because those create the most genuine, real moments and laughs. There’s no pressure to act perfect or look a certain way behind my lenses. Just relax and I promise we will have a good time!

Destination Elopement Photographer

I'm your..

Hey everyone! I'm Ellyn! My homebase is Medina, Ohio but I absolutely love to travel whenever I get the chance. I'm super spontaneous and will hop on a plane the very next day if the opportunity presents itself. I dropped out of college to fulfill my dream of becoming an elopement photographer and I'm so blessed to be living my dream! I am engaged to my amazing fiancé Danny. He is the most important person in my life and is always there cheering me on. I'm also a dog mom to my dog Jethro. 

One thing you should know about me is I’m such a tomboy at heart. During the summer I’m always outside making the most of the sunshine by fishing, hiking, kayaking, swimming, and of course taking photos. 

I've been a photographer for 3 years now and have loved every second of it. Photographing couples love stories is my passion and what keeps me going. 
I can't wait to get you in front of my lens!
