As a New Jersey wedding photographer serving New York, Pennsylvania, and destinations worldwide, my work is rooted in connection, nostalgia, and the beauty of what happens naturally. Inspired by vintage film, old photographs, and editorial imagery, I create wedding photographs that feel more like art than documentation. I’m drawn to the imperfect, the fleeting, and the deeply felt — for unconventional romantics who want their wedding photographs to feel lived-in, timeless, and unmistakably their own.
The Eye Behind the Lens
HI, I’M ELL PETERS. I CREATE ART FROM THE WAY YOUR LOVE FEELS.
I work with couples who understand that a photograph is more than a memory—it’s a piece of their history. I’m always searching for the things easily missed: the quiet glances, imperfect movement, beautiful light, and fleeting moments that exist for only a second. With an editorial eye and a love for vintage nostalgia, I turn those moments into artifacts of your story—romantic, honest, and made to outlive the day itself.
I don’t believe your wedding day should feel like a photoshoot. I believe in giving you the space to be completely yourselves—to move, to feel, to laugh, to love, and to forget the camera is even there.
My approach lives somewhere between observation and artistry. I’ll gently guide you when you need me, then step back and let the beautifully unplanned moments unfold.
I’m not here to manufacture moments. I’m here to preserve the ones that are already yours—and turn the way your love felt into art.

She exceeded my expectations by a mile! Working with Ell was a dream! Every detail was planned so thoughtfully
There are so many words to describe Ell but the first that comes to mind is ARTIST!!!
Your photographs become more than a record of the day. Digital, 35mm film, and nostalgic imagery come together to create something tangible and timeless—art that feels like your love, preserved for generations.
On your wedding day, I give you space to simply live it. With gentle direction when needed and an eye always searching for the unexpected, I document the quiet glances, wild laughter, movement, romance, and everything beautifully in between.
It begins with your story. I want to know what feels like you—the people you love, the moments you value, and the atmosphere you’re dreaming of for your wedding day.
