A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME —
Hi, I’m Ell – a wedding, elopement, and couples photographer with a deep passion for maternity photography.
Originally from South Africa, I now call Bridgewater, NJ, my home. I’m a proud mom and wife, with a love for anything wildflowers and an irresistible weakness for timeless, romantic moments.
My photography journey began with a love for capturing candid moments between families and loved ones. Over time, this evolved into a passion for documenting intimate and romantic moments, especially for weddings, elopements, and couples. There’s something truly magical about being invited into those deeply personal chapters of someone’s love story.

Multi-passionate soul
finding love in everything i do
believe photography should tell a story, not just capture a pose (I’m not a fan of stiff, posed photography—seriously, it’s just not my thing!). My goal is to capture real emotions, genuine connections, and intimate moments—the kind that bring you back to how you felt. Of course, I’ll sneak in a few wall-worthy portraits for you to hang up (because, let’s be honest, everyone loves those too!).
These days, my focus is on couples, weddings, elopements, and maternity sessions. My style is a blend of documentary, cinematic, vintage, and timeless vibes. I want you to look back at your photos 10, 20, or even 50 years from now and still feel the love and magic they captured, without ever getting tired of them.
I create a relaxed, non-posed environment where you can truly be yourselves. My goal is to capture your story—not just a photographer’s vision or some staged pose from the internet. I want the photos to reflect you and the unique bond you share with your loved one.
I want you to feel seen, valued, and completely comfortable during every session. Together, we’ll create images that you’ll treasure forever.
Oh, and a few fun facts about me? I’m absolutely obsessed with coffee, my favorite animal is a sheep (yes, really!), and wildflowers will always have my heart.
Ready to create beautiful memories together? Let’s chat!.
Passion fuels my art, and love guides my lens. I strive to find beauty, emotion, and meaning in every moment I capture.
MY THING IS ROMANCE.

A Girl & Her Camera
Once upon a time, in the rolling hills of South Africa, a girl was gifted a little camera by her love. She saw the world through its lens—capturing golden sunsets, playful wildlife, and quiet fishing trips with just the two of them. Those simple moments filled her heart, but little did she know, it was only the beginning.
Fast forward a few years, and a new adventure brought them across the ocean. It was here, in a new land, that her husband handed her a “big girl” camera, and everything changed. The lens became her window to love, connection, and the magic of human stories.
Now, nearly three years later, she’s found her happy place—behind the camera, turning fleeting moments into timeless memories and weaving love stories into art.
