More about Ellie B....
What do you love about your job?
The main thing I love about photography will always be capturing that magic moment. Out of a thousand beautiful images there is usually one that sticks with me because it touches me in a certain way, perhaps bringing about a sense of nostalgia or simply relating to the subjects in a very real way. And of course the light! It's so lovely and ever changing.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have primarily photographed weddings, engagement and bridal shoots. I have enjoyed doing some editorial work including food and product photography. The key to making any photograph special is to get the lighting right. I like to play with light when it's bright and dynamic and when it's subtle on a cloudy day (nature's softbox so to speak). The 2nd key when photographing people, which I primarily do, is to capture them when they least expect it. Talk to them, make them at ease, and get authentic moments. Creatively speaking I've done engagement shoots in ice cream shops and vintage theaters with fun attire and props and brought additional strobe photography on set to add some unexpected drama.

A fun fact about this photographer
I love all things D.I.Y. I also consider myself a bit of a handyman (lady that is)...I fixed my oven when it broke and have done some home plumping around my house. I always thought I would love flipping a house, from demolition to D.I.Y decorating.
