Sandcastle Studio Co.

Sandcastle Studio Co. was born from a love for beautiful moments, talented artists, and the belief that everyone deserves to have their memories captured beautifully. As the founder of The Beach Picnic Co., I’ve had the pleasure of being part of countless weddings, proposals, and celebrations. Through those experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work alongside so many incredibly talented local photographers — each with their own unique style, personality, and way of telling a story. We started thinking, *how cool would it be to bring all of this talent together in one place?* And that’s how Sandcastle Studio Co. came to life. Our goal is to make finding the right photographer simple. Whether you love timeless and romantic, editorial and artistic, candid and documentary, or something completely your own, we want you to have the ability to choose the artist whose style feels like you. Just as importantly, we believe beautiful photography and videography should feel accessible. You shouldn’t have to feel like you have to choose between capturing your memories and staying within your budget. Everyone deserves photographs they’ll treasure and an album they can look back on for years to come. And because photographs allow you to remember a moment, but film allows you to **relive it**, Sandcastle Studio Co. also offers short-form cinematic films. We want videography to feel like an attainable part of your experience — not an expense that breaks the bank. Years from now, you can press play, hear the laughter, see the little moments, and feel the emotions of that day all over again. Sandcastle Studio Co. is a collection of talented creatives brought together under one roof with one simple goal: **to make your memories beautiful, meaningful, and accessible.** I’m so excited to have you here, and even more excited to help tell your story.

Ellie is one of those photographers who has a way of making you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera while still creating images that feel intentional and timeless. I first had the pleasure of getting to know Ellie through the local wedding and event community, and it didn’t take long for me to see the creativity and heart she brings to her work. She has a natural eye for the little details, the in-between moments, and the emotions that can so easily be missed. Ellie’s photography has a beautiful balance of **timeless, romantic, and intentional** imagery. She knows how to create those breathtaking portraits while also allowing the genuine, candid moments of the day to unfold naturally. What I love most about having Ellie as our Lead Photographer is that she doesn’t just show up and take beautiful photos — she truly cares about telling the story of the people in front of her. Her calm presence, creativity, and attention to detail make her someone we are incredibly proud to have as part of the Sandcastle Studio Co. team. As our **Lead Photographer & Creative Lead**, Ellie is our primary shooter and one of the creative eyes behind the Sandcastle experience. Whether you're planning an intimate beach session, a proposal, or your wedding day, she brings a thoughtful and artistic approach to every story she captures. We’re so lucky to have her on our team, and I can’t wait for you to experience Ellie’s work for yourself.

Sophia brings an effortlessly cool, creative eye to every moment she captures. With a style that blends **editorial photography, authentic emotion, and a touch of fashion**, she has a way of turning real-life moments into images that feel like they belong in a magazine—without losing the personality and connection behind them. From the quiet, candid moments to the big celebrations and everything in between, Sophia is always looking for the unexpected angles, beautiful light, movement, and little details that make each story unique. Her work is modern, artistic, romantic and never boring, making her the perfect fit for couples who want their photos to feel like *them*—just a little more magical. ✨ Whether she's capturing a proposal on the beach, an intimate celebration, or an entire wedding day, Sophia isn't just there to take pretty pictures. She's there to capture the feeling of it all.
