Ellie McKinney Photographer | Reviews

Ellie is the absolute BEST! From our first phone call, I felt like I had known her for years and she immediately understood (and then perfectly captured) my vision. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, I’ve raved about her, so much so that two of my friends booked her for their weddings too! From our engagement photos, vision and timeline planning and then our wedding day, we truly could not have asked for a better photographer. Her incredible photos speak for themselves, but her energy and her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and confident is unmatched. All of our friends and family also commented on how incredible she was!

I truly cannot express enough how lucky I feel that she was able to capture our day and want her to capture all of our big moments! We could not love her more!!!

We found Ellie through social media, and we were blown away by her photos. She is able to capture so much detail and emotion with a single image, and we knew immediately she would be the perfect photographer to capture our wedding. We could not have expected that Ellie would also be the most responsive, helpful and caring individual. Throughout the planning process Ellie was there to support us through any requests, and she had a huge impact on so many parts of our wedding day. Ellie brings so much love and energy into her craft and we feel so lucky that we have so many beautiful images that we will cherish forever. I could not recommend Ellie enough! THANK YOU!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! There are no words to truly thank Ellie for everything she did to make my wedding day the best day of my life. She was one of the first vendors I booked for my November '22 wedding, and that was one of the best decisions I made through the wedding planning process.  From the start, Ellie made herself available to me for whatever I needed. She made me feel like a priority and was always happy to help. On wedding day, Ellie was a calming force and made the whole experience seamless.  Not only was she able to perfectly capture the most incredible day, but Ellie radiated an incredible enthusiasm and passion for her craft.  She had a smile on her face the entire day and made all the crazy parts of the day enjoyable and fun for everyone. My wedding gallery is something that I will cherish forever and Ellie captured every moment perfectly.  Ellie is an absolute rockstar and will always be my number 1 recommendation for anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

We are so thankful for you!

Ellie and Taylor are the best in the buisness! We hired Ellie and Taylor for our daughter's wedding last weekend. Ellie and Taylor we absolutely amazing, they were everywhere the whole entire day, from getting ready, the limo ride, the church ceremony, the venue they captured the entire wedding from start to finish!
Their communication, their vision, and their photos are spectular. Ellie brought Andrea's vision to life and soon we can relive the entire day with the wedding video over and over again.

We started communicating with Ellie about a year before the wedding, Ellie has a questionaire, she studies the bride and groom! She wants to gets to know the couple she is photographing!  When we saw the engagement photos Ellie took we knew she is truly the best photographer in the industry!

It was a pleasure working with Ellie and her team! We highly recommend them!

If you need a photographer Ellie McKinney was recommended to us over and over again. We are so glad we chose Ellie and her team!

Ellie McKinney Photography did such a wonderful job at our wedding. We were overwhelmed with all of the amazing photos she captured. She went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless and helped with so much more than just the photography. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her and Taylor! If you’re getting married, you definitely want Ellie to be there! I could not recommend her more!

Ellie was the absolute best choice for capturing moments from our engagement season and wedding. She is so talented and professional with a warm and inviting personality. She made my husband and I feel very comfortable during photo sessions, and we ended up having a lot of fun. She was so accommodating of our ideas and preferences (i.e. location, scheduling, logistics with our dogs, etc.) while of course making great/creative suggestions. I am so thankful to have such wonderful photos to look back on and hope to be able to use her talents for a family session one day! If you like a mix of traditional and editorial photos, definitely consider Ellie!

Edited to add our newborn photo shoot.
We recently had Ellie take our newborn/family pictures and she didn't disappoint! Ellie created a gorgeous mood board that took my ideas and made them into a cohesive style. We always feel comfortable and beautiful when Ellie takes our pictures- she's got a calming, sweet energy that makes everyone feel relaxed, and a great sense of humor that keeps us laughing! I look forward to Ellie taking our family pictures for years to come!
I could go on and on about my love for Ellie McKinney, so I'll try to keep this short. I found Ellie through our wedding planner, Aneesa Glines (Harmony Weddings and Events), and from the second I saw her photos, I immediately knew I had to meet her. We had a few other things in common that made me realize it was fate for our paths to cross!

Ellie is the most organized, detail oriented person I know. She strives for perfection in all that she does, and boy, does she deliver! My husband and I had never had professional photos taken before, but you would have no idea from looking at Ellie's pictures. She made us feel comfortable, but more importantly, brought out our authentic selves. Her photos are moody, sexy, and edgy, yet whimsical and deeply romantic at the same time. She captures raw and real love- nothing ever feels too posed.

Apart from our wedding planner, Ellie is the best money we spent on our wedding, and I cannot wait to work with her again someday soon!

We had the absolute honor of having Ellie AND Taylor for our wedding photography and videography – these two are icons at what they do. There is not a thank you big enough to express the gratitude they deserve nor are there enough stars to leave in review to reflect the talent they have!
I was so happy with how easy it was to work with and to be around them both – it really spoke to their remarkable professional prowess and kind souls. It was easily the most comfortable we have ever felt in front of a camera. I cannot stop going through our gallery – the moments they captured are legendary!
The passion and hard work that Ellie and Taylor put into capturing genuine moments is inspiring.
