About this vendor
Hi there! My name is Ellie. I'm the lead photographer and owner of Ellie Mae Photo. I am based in New York but am available worldwide. I have flat rate travel fees so that you can rest easy knowing there will be no hidden fees down the line. I strive to capture moments that feel organic and authentic. I've coined the name "cuddly editorial". I'm drawn to a candid and documentary approach that lends itself to images that feel like you while also feeling elevated and timeless.
Your wedding day shouldn't feel like a glorified photo op. You deserve to enjoy the day you have so carefully curated and feel as though you are experiencing the day with your loved ones. With my many years of being in this industry, I pride myself in bringing forth a unique experience to all my couples.

What can I say about Ellie other than she is amazing. If you are looking for something way more creative than the average wedding photographer, she is your girl. I was scrolling the knot for photographers when she popped up and I said "Yes! That's what I want!" She is fun to work with and so professional. She makes you feel comfortable if you hate having your photo taken. Our engagement photos were something I couldn't even have dreamed. She made me feel so beautiful. She is unique in her style, so again if you are looking for wedding photos that aren't your average wedding photos (something more real and in the moment), Ellie is the photographer you are looking for! I cannot wait to see our wedding photos. OH and we have made a life long friend!
If you are a human that is getting married you should book Ellie. Her punctual, well planned out, and flexibility coupled with her refined photo style and bubbly can do attitude can do nothing but add value, laughter, and love to your day. Her encouragement was amazing I genuinely feel like she was a part of the fam by the end of the day.
Ellie was absolutely AMAZING! If you want a photographer that makes you feel comfortable, especially if it’s your first time doing a photoshoot, then she is your girl. She went out of her way to even wake up EARLY in the morning just to get the sunrise lighting for our engagement pictures. Nothing but dedicated to get the pictures that we will have for a lifetime. It was a blast working with her and we will definitely work with her again in the future! (:
Ellie is an absolute pleasure to work with! She made both my fiancé and I super comfortable during the entire shoot, it was like working with one of our best friends honestly. She really did her homework once we picked out our location, she even looked up the coordinates for a specific spot we wanted to shoot in front of and sent it to us before hand. Once we got our pictures back we were blown away and still are having trouble picking one for our save the date. We can't wait to work with her at our wedding. Would highly recommend!
Ellie is such an amazing photographer! From the first information request she was very professional and gave a lot of information of her services offered. She was so personable through email! When it was time for our engagement shoot she gave us a few options of dates and she picked a location and it was beautiful! We really appreciated that she took the time to FaceTime my fiancé and I to get to know us more as a couple so that she could capture our chemistry and dynamic as a couple. My fiancé is totally comfortable in front of the camera so he had no trouble the day of. I am a little more shy but I was completely comfortable when we were shooting and Ellie gave us so many prompts for the pictures. We just got our photos and I am so beyond happy with them! They came out so beautiful! I am so excited for Ellie to capture our wedding day in a few short months!!!
I truly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Shooting with Ellie was magical. As a person she brings such a great energy and kindness to the shoot which made my boyfriend who’s never taken professional photos before feel so confident and comfortable. She has an eye for exactly what works and flattering angles and ways to make movements feel fun and authentic. I thought she did a great job catching moments and feelings instead of just poses which not a lot of photographers take the time to do with their clients and it really shows in the final photos, which I’m obsessed with. I truly can’t think of anyone else better to recommend to shoot you and your loved one!!
Ellie is the best photographer and friend. She’s so thoughtful, and puts so much intention into her craft. She captures emotion in both her photography and words. The little stories she writes about her experiences with her clients are just so beautiful. Even if you didn’t believe in reviews, just looking at her page is enough proof that we’re not making up our adoration for Ellie. If I could book her for all events of my life I would, I’d be broke but the pictures would be worth every cent!
The GOAT! She’s super passionate about her craft and hilarious to shoot with! Thank you Ellie!
Our photoshoot with Ellie was an unforgettable, romantic date for us! Reuben and I fell even deeper in love, right there in front of her lens! Ellie’s joy, unique vision and unconventional approach to photography is something we highly recommend! She had us leaning & lounging, dancing, running, koala kissing, belly laughing and connecting! Ellie captured us living in the moment and we will treasure those memories always.
Ellie was a CRUCIAL part of our day because her role essentially was to be the keeper of time, herder of people( more like cats) and maker of tangible memories well beyond our wedding day. She not only understood this role but OWNED it like the professional girl boss she is. Our experience with her was beyond our expectations. I was told that your wedding day is like a blur and that you barely remember the details. Ellie debunked that myth and made us believers of a different kind of wedding day. One where memories have time to be made, and we have the capacity to remember everything clearly. Her professionalism and personality we’re a constant source of calm for us. We’re so grateful to have had her there!
No one puts in the time, passion, attention and love to your photos like Ellie does. From the moment she takes the first couple of shots to when she's editing away at odd hours of the night - the end result is perfection.
When the photos came back for my first couple shoot with Ellie, it brought me to tears. That's how good she is. She makes you feel your most natural and comfortable self in front of a camera, that you almost forget you're taking pictures! She is really great at her craft and it shows. 100%. You will get the kindest, most fun, talented and easy to love photographer + a friend for life.
