McKenzie Studios

Ellie was everything we could have asked for and more. She helped capture our day just the way we wanted it and spent so much time making sure that she understood the goal of our day. Her pictures are stunning and timeless. We could not recommend her more!

Ellie was amazing and captured the most beautiful photos! We were looking for a wedding photographer that could capture elegant photos because we were getting married in a gorgeous Chapel. We didn’t like overly saturated photos and came across McKenzie Studios. We loved her wedding catalogs and after a phone call decided she would be a great fit! We did an engagement shoot with her and instantly felt comfortable. We adored the engagement shoot photos and had so many to choose from. Ellie goes out of her way to make sure she gets all the shots! We also had her shoot our wedding photos and they turned out so elegant! We were both blown away by the shots she was able to get. She was also so great dealing with difficult family members as we admittedly have a couple. You can’t go wrong with hiring McKenzie Studios and we are so grateful to her for capturing our special day! You can’t go wrong with Ellie!

We hired Ellie for our daughter’s wedding in November and we could not have asked for a better photographer! Ellie was professional, helpful and considerate during the entire process. Cannot recommend her enough.

Ellie is seriously the best photographer out there! She took our engagement photos and wedding photos. When we told her we wanted our engagement photos in a coffee shop/record store she was immediately down and took our idea and made it 10x better than we could’ve imagined! Ellie is so professional, personal to her couples, and makes sure her couples are enjoying their time will taking pictures. Her and her second shooter made our wedding photos feel fun and not staged and made our wedding day so much more enjoyable! Our wedding photos look straight out of a movie and she completely exceeded our expectations! We would recommend Ellie to anyone and everyone! Can’t wait to have her take more pictures for us in the future!!!

Ellie was an absolute joy to work with! Her professionalism is unmatched. Her prices are incredibly reasonable. Her personality and humor is top notch. She helped to make what could have been a stressful part of the day fun. My now-husband is incredibly shy behind the camera, but she made us both feel so comfortable and at ease. The wedding party loved her and we received multiple compliments (from family, guests, and other vendors) throughout the wedding (and afterwards) about how wonderful it was to work with her. Ellie has such a beautiful and artistic moody style that was exactly what I was looking for. The pictures are breathtaking. I cannot recommend McKenzie Studios enough!

Ellie is the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. We hired her as our wedding photographer and couldn’t have worked with someone better! Her demeanor is so relaxed and encouraging while she captures magical, moody shots. Ellie captured portraits, candids, and interestingly framed special moments (like a shot through the trees of us saying our vows!). Her pricing is reasonable, communication is top tier, and style is perfect for the big day! We’re so grateful to you and highly recommend!

To say that McKenzie and her secondary photographer did a great job would be an absolute understatement. On top of the high professionalism, they made sure to adjust poses, messy hair, and other things to make the end result top tier. These 2 are who you want on your team when trying to accomplish the beast that is a wedding. Cannot recommend McKenzie enough. +10 points for the complementary engagement shoot.

Ellie from the beginning was so easy to communicate with. Even navigating a country we were not familiar with she took the time to write up maps on where to meet her. Ellie made us feel comfortable and made the photo shoot a fun part of our vacation. Our engagement photos turned out so beautiful and captured memories we will look back on for many years to come. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Ellie was wonderful to work with! She made my husband and my day stress free by capturing everything and more than what we wanted . Not to mention the photos you will receive will be timeless. She is so adaptable and kind to help you as a bride feel confident on your day. Could not rave more about her!

We love Ellie. My wife and I are so glad that we hired her to shoot our engagement photos as well as the wedding. Ellie is talented and her calm, friendly demeanor helped us feel relaxed. The photos we've seen so far have been stunning. She was punctual, professional, understanding and overall just a lovely human being to work with. We're so glad we crossed paths with her and will forever be thankful for the stunning photos.

Ellie was an absolute joy to work with! She captured both our engagement session and our wedding and she went far above and beyond for both. Ellie has a fantastic eye and unique style. She was able to bring out the best in our day, while still making it feel like us. We'll cherish these forever! Thank you so much Ellie. ❤

Ellie & her additional shooter, Taylor, were fantastic! They were so sweet and guided us through all of the shots quickly and painlessly! Not to mention, our pics are absolutely DREAMY. I can't say enough good things. I can't wait to have Ellie do another shoot for us!

I can't say enough about Ellie and her gorgeous pictures. From the very first phone call until the final photos were delivered she was so helpful, nice, and professional. By the time the wedding was over and all the guests had left I felt like Ellie was "one of the family." She and her assistant made all of us feel at ease and the pictures showcase her ability to capture all the "little" moments that meant so much to us. I would recommend McKenzie Studios over and over again.

To say Ellie is amazing would be an understatement. My now fiancé worked with Ellie to plan a “photoshoot” for a surprise proposal. I had mentioned that I wanted our photos to not look “autumn-y” which was a big ask considering it was beginning of November. Somehow she made it happen and our photos came out exactly how I wanted. As for the additional work she put in to the proposal prep, she went above and beyond helping my fiancé set up the picnic and overall story line to get me to the point of the proposal without any idea of what was to come. She is just such a genuine person and I would recommend her to ANYONE looking for a photographer in the Birmingham area!
