Hi! I’m so excited to meet you!
Hi! I’m Elle, a Portland wedding photographer with over 15 years experience creating timeless, heartfelt images for couples just like you.
My approach is a blend of hybrid editorial and documentary photography. My style is relaxed and easygoing. I capturing the intimate moments, the spontaneous laughter, and all the quiet in-between while you feel at ease in front of the camera. That way you can be truly present with your partner and loved ones.
Weddings are full of magic, and I’m here to make sure every detail is documented with care. Dedicated to inclusiviety, I am passionate about providing affordable photography that captures love in all its beautiful forms for EVERYONE! Love is love and I am here to document your love story!
Think of me as a calm presence on your wedding day, one that lets you focus on enjoying the moment, while I take care of preserving the memories and in a pinch I can always figure out the bustle of a dress.
I believe in the principle of hygge—creating a warm, cozy, and content environment where you feel at home, both with me and in front of the lens. Whether it’s a quiet moment you share with your partner or an unforgettable moment with your friends and family, I’ll capture it with love, respect, and authenticity.It’s an honor to be a part of such an important day in your life.

Client Testimonials
Elle was truly an amazing photographer at our wedding. She captured the exact vision we had and adapted so well to any schedule changes (as weddings do have them). She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and told us how to pose, made every picture look seamless, natural, candid everything and made sure to include a shot with everyone there. The editing seems so natural yet perfect at the same time, truly a talented artist who I hope to work with again! Thank you Elle for giving everyone at my wedding an unforgettable experience. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is having any kind of event!

FROM MELIA
Elle was wonderful to work with and did an amazing job at our wedding! The photos are gorgeous, she gave just enough direction for us to look flawless but not too posed and rolled with a huge hiccup wedding day and was able to adjust the photography schedule in real time. Love looking at our wedding albums and prints!
