Sun & Sparrow Photography

We absolutely loved having Ellie as our wedding photographer! She shot our engagement and wedding photos in the summers of 2022 and 2023 in Santa Barbara and Pasadena, CA. Her secondary shooter, Julie, was part of the team on the wedding day and we absolutely loved her too! - Professional: Ellie was attentive to our needs and gave us plenty of prep ahead of our shoots. She was early at both locations to scout out the best spots for our photos. It was also quite hot on our wedding day and she gave us plenty of time to take breaks while keeping us on track — she did so well that we were actually ahead of schedule! - Photos: Ellie’s skills and care are so evident in the photos she takes. As two introverts who don’t have our photos taken very often, she offered relatable cues to get the perfect shot every time! Her editing and ability to frame a shot is outstanding. For context, we got married in a Japanese garden and she was able to capture the essence of the garden and us. - Vibe: Ellie cultivated feelings of safety and peace for both our engagement and wedding photos. From the moment we first had our consultation call, she was able to tap into our love for each other and we were sold! She’s non-judgmental where we were able to be our goofy selves and she was able to perfectly capture the warmth, joy, and excitement that we have for this next chapter in our lives. Overall, we adored Ellie and Julie and would 100% recommend her and her team for any major life events you want to be captured.

First off, Sun and Sparrow’s level of professionalism was outstanding. They were punctual, organized, and attentive to our needs and preferences. They took the time to understand our vision for the wedding and made sure to capture every important moment and detail. The composition, lighting, and overall quality of the images were absolutely stunning. They have a keen eye for capturing candid moments!! One of the most important parts of taking wedding photos is to feel comfortable. Their friendly and approachable nature made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire day!!!

My husband and I are absolutely blown away by Ellie and her photography. Ellie is an artist. She was able to capture engagement and wedding moments that we will treasure forever. Her attention to detail is incredible. She made us feel so comfortable having our pictures taken. I love working with Ellie and her team. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future.

We came across Sun and Sparrow’s work thanks to the brochure of recommended photographers from our wedding chapel, and after a quick look to their instagram, it was love at first sight with their work! It was truly magic that they were available on our wedding day, since we only had 3 months to plan our wedding, and I was doing most of the planning from my country (Mexico). Ellie was super attentive and organized! She scheduled a consultation with me over the phone so we could discuss on my vision, budget, questions, etc, etc. But her attentiveness didn’t stop there! A couple weeks before my wedding, I was feeling very nervous that we wouldn’t have enough time to take all the pictures that I wanted, so Ellie and I organized a coffee date where she really went out of her way and served as a photographer, wedding planner and a friend! I will forever be thankful ❤️ It was amazing seeing Ellie doing her job during the ceremony and reception, she was moving chairs out of her way, directing people, changing cameras! She was doing it all and she was amazing at it. I even remember she helped with my hair when my headpiece was acting out, she handed me bobby pins that she had in an emergency kit, phew she was prepared 🤩. I wouldn’t think twice about booking with her again and recommended her to family and friends, she is a great person to work with and just a great human being in general.
