A camera was first put in my hand when I was about 13 years old. My grandpa is an incredible landscape photographer and he entrusted his beloved Nikon to me every once in a while in an attempt to make me a willing protege. While I did love capturing the world around me, I was, to put it simply, bored. Being an introvert at heart, landscape photography fulfilled the desire to skip small talk and unpredictable conversations. However, I was also an observer. I loved to watch how people interacted, communicated, and created. I fully believe that my fascination with psychology and sociology, along with my foundation in landscape photography, has lead to my deep love for documentation and weddings.
Outside of photography, you could probably find me in a cozy corner, reading a novel. I've been obsessed with reading since I was very very young. I used to sit down and read for six hours straight in elementary school, and most of my free time now is spent trying to get back to that. I also love creating endless moodboards on Pinterest, thinking way too deeply about movies, and listening to true crime podcasts.
I recently got married in November of 2024 and it was the best day of my life. My husband (!!!) and I are addicted to traveling together and we have a two-year-old chocolate lab that we adore.
My faith is the most important part of my life and I would not be where I am in my life without the Lord! It's so special for me to see the Lord work through couples and families, especially on wedding days, when there is just so much love, emotion, and awe. I want to serve each of my couples in the name of Jesus and I can't believe my job is centered around celebrating the beautiful covenant of marriage!
my philosophy
ByElliePearl is deeply rooted in the values that matter most to me: faith, genuine human connection, intention, and emotion. These aren’t just nice words I toss around; they’re the foundation of everything I do.
My faith shapes the way I see people and the way I serve them. I truly believe there’s something sacred about marriage, and I don’t take it lightly that I get to witness and preserve such important moments. I care deeply about connection, not just between you and your partner, but between you and your family, close friends, and the people who have surrounded you both throughout your lives and relationship. Your photos should be an honest representation of the relationships you both hold close to your hearts.
I approach every wedding with intention, paying attention to the little things that make your day uniquely yours. Having just had a wedding of my own in 2024, I have a unique perspective on a wedding day. The details matter because you put so much time, money, and thought into them. They deserve to be documented fully.
And above all, I focus on capturing emotion. The kind that takes you back to how it all felt, not just how it looked. I want your photos to last longer than a lifetime, for your kids and grandkids to see it the way you did.
This business isn’t just about taking pretty pictures. It’s about telling stories that matter, and doing it with intention.
