Ella from Elegance Photography
Hey, I'm Ella, your colour-loving photographer! I'm profoundly nostalgic, so whether I'm on or off duty, you'll always find me with a camera in hand.

I studied photography 12 years ago and have a soft spot for the magic of Instax and Polaroids. My love for vintage aesthetics, especially 50s and 60s pinup clothing, decor, and films, adds a nostalgic charm to my style.

Having eloped myself, I truly believe it's not just about capturing beautiful moments; it's about creating an unforgettable experience.

I'm a hopeless romantic who cherishes hearing unique love stories and discovering what makes each couple tick. Let's turn your moments into vibrant memories together! 

Ella's Style

I bring a relaxed and playful approach to every shoot, ensuring that my colourful and bright images are joyful and encourage everyone to have fun! You'll also have time for slower, quiet moments, allowing for real connection and the creation of truly romantic images that reflect the two of you. Let's capture moments that are as delightful as they are unforgettable!

Your Best Part of Weddings


I consider myself very lucky to witness those magical, intimate moments you share.

From the "omg" moment right after saying "I do" to those fleeting yet meaningful glances shared when you steal a quiet moment together.

But If I have to pick just one, it's the vow, when you pour your heart out, expressing why you love your partner so deeply, that stands out as truly enchanting.

It's these moments, filled with sincerity and tenderness, that make it my favorite part of the day.​

Ella's Fav Things In Real Life

 Nothing lights my heart on fire like being surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. It's where I find solace and inspiration, and yes, you'll often spot me in a dress, even when I'm out adventuring in my trusty tramping boots.

​But I am all about vintage style not vintage values! Travelling is a passion that fuels my soul. My latest journey to Japan was a kaleidoscope of new experiences and unforgettable moments. When I'm not out exploring, you'll often find me curled up with my beautiful cat Archie lost in the pages of a good book, playing board games or outside tending to my flower garden. And of course, there's nothing quite like sipping on a well-crafted cocktail to unwind.

I call Timaru home, but I also love adventuring around our beautiful country!

My husband and I eloped in the beautiful Tekapo and Mt Cook, so I am always willing to pack my camera and run away to those majestic mountains!

​Wherever your wild heart desires, I will happily be your third wheel for the day.
