Ellie has such a unique artistic ability with a one-of-a-kind eye to capture any moment you have in life. We saw how amazing she was when she captured our friends’ wedding, and after seeing their photos, we knew we couldn’t imagine our day without the same quality of pictures. Ellie flew out to Colorado to capture our wedding weekend, turning what felt like a blur into a collection of heartfelt memories. Her ability to capture genuine moments of love is unmatched, and she handled everything—family, friends, kids, even dogs—with such grace and professionalism. It was truly amazing. We’re incredibly grateful for her talented eye and the fantastic energy she brought to our day. Thank you, Ellie, for giving us these incredible moments and memories forever! You are one of one.
Ellie is truly a FULL service photographer and her ability to authentically capture moments is unmatched. I struggle to put into words just how incredible she is. Leading up to our wedding, Ellie made planning and building a timeline so easy, which took a lot of stress off of our plate. The advice she gave us to read our vows to each other during our first look became our favorite part of the day. Everything about the experience, from planning to day-of, couldn’t have been better. We are not typically comfortable in front of a camera and Ellie and her team made us feel totally at ease. She kept our vision for the day at the forefront, gave great direction to us and our wedding party, made quick decisions when needed based on weather/lighting, and no valuable time was wasted. We couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience! We have truly been blown away by all of the precious memories captured. You will not regret booking with Ellie!
There aren't enough stars in Google's rating system to truly reflect everything that Ellie brings to your wedding day.
From reviewing Ellie's amazing portfolio, to meeting with her to discuss our wedding events, to working with her in person- Ellie makes sure that you are comfortable, makes sure to cover any stylistic ideas you have, and to chat through the general vibe of your wedding day.
Ellie went above and beyond for us. From getting everything we wanted and helping us get shots we never dreamed of, I would work with Ellie a thousand times over. You will not regret booking with her!

After being the perpetual bridesmaid and attending over 50 weddings in the past 8 years, I knew the curated vibe that would fit our wedding best. When we met with Ellie over zoom the first time, it truly felt like we were talking to a long lost friend. I mean who cries the first time they meet some over ZOOM. My wedding could not have been complete without Ellie or Taylor. They felt like extensions of my vision and were able to capture moments I only briefly mentioned in meetings.
And the energy that they brought to the wedding was beyond. To have a photographer team that my whole family fully embraced and participated in all of our wedding traditions was a memory I will never forget. Ellie and her team are cheerleaders, visionaries, inspiration and just good people who I always want to have in my corner.
Thank you for freezing my little piece of Mediterranean heaven in time forever.

Picking Ellie as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made. And that is coming from the most Type A+ bride you will come across. I have researched/interviewed the best vendors in Atlanta, Charleston, New Orleans, and the Highlands, NC area and we knew Ellie (and Taylor) were THE ones immediately. It takes 5 minutes of scrolling through her portfolio to know she is incredibly talented behind a lens but what you don't see is everything behind the scenes. The constant support in the planning process and on the day, with her ability to bring your vision to life is unmatched. She is your unofficial bridesmaid, hype woman, life coach, content queen, and captain of ceremonies. Her energy set the tone for our day and I am so grateful to her and Taylor for everything they did for us. Members of our family and friends continue to tell us how impressed they were with her professionalism and talent. My wedding was ICONIC and much of that is because of Ellie. If you have any doubts, please reach out to me to answer any and all questions. I will leave your with this - A planner puts the wedding together and executes, only your guests will remember the food, music, and beauty of the venue but a photographer controls how it’s remembered by anyone and everyone - this is a critical decision and no one better than Ellie.
ELLIE MCKINNEY IS THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER KNOWN TO MAN KIND! If you're shopping around, look no further! Let this be your confirmation that she is WORTH the investment. Ellie was professional from beginning to end. Her professional, attention to detail, personable texts, knowledge, creativity, uniqueness, and integrity is A GIFT! If you want a vendor and third wheel, she is your best bet! Words literally do no justice to how amazing she is inside and out. I am beyond satisfied with our wedding photos and engagement photos. She was also EXTREMELY timely. Thank you forever Ellie from Darius and Ciara Brown for not only amazing memories that we can share for generations but for leaving a mark on our hearts for forever because of your kindness! I pray so many blessings over this business!
I had Ellie photograph my elopement in New Orleans and it was something out of my dreams. From the detailed planning to making us feel at ease during the session, it was honestly the best decision that we made to perfectly capture our special day.
Prior to our elopement, we were in constant communication with Ellie to make sure she had a clear view of our vision and to bounce ideas of each other. Each conversation was so effortless and I knew we would be in goods hands on the day of.
The day of the elopement was incredibly special and Ellie guided us through different poses that were natural and made us feel comfortable. There was never an awkward moment because we were laughing and chatting so much. Couples can feel awkward when taking wedding portraits because it is not something you are used to doing every day, but Ellie made it really fun!
I can’t get over the fun energy of our elopement that she perfectly captured in each frame. Thank you so much, Ellie! I would highly recommend Ellie to capture all your special moments on your big day.

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.

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!

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!
