  • 10/10 Recommend Ella!

    10/10 recommend Ella to be your event photographer! We’ve had the pleasure of working with Ella over quite an extended period of time because we had a long engagement. From our engagement photoshoot over a year ago, to our wedding just last month, we had a fabulous experience with Ella. She is laid back and professional – a perfect combination of qualities you want your photographer to had. She is always prompt in her communication, and most importantly – her photos are STUNNING. Her editing skills are beautiful, and the moments she is able to capture are second to none. Could not be happier that we chose Ella to be our photographer.

    I cannot express how thrilled my husband and I are with the incredible work of Ella Merrill! From the initial consultation, through our engagement photos, to the final wedding shots, every step of the process was an absolute delight. Ella is fantastic to work with - she has a wonderful personality that can set anyone who is not used to being in front of a camera at ease. She is also extremely reliable and ensures she understands the vision of her client and then magically delivers beyond their expectations. Ella is not just a photographer; she is a true artist with an exceptional eye for detail and a passion for capturing the most magical moments of our special day. The level of professionalism and dedication demonstrated throughout the entire experience was truly outstanding. Not only did Ella capture the traditional shots flawlessly, but she also managed to catch many candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love shared on our wedding day, including ones of our much-loved dog. Looking through the initial photos felt like reliving the day, and we are grateful for the timeless treasures we now have to cherish. I cannot recommend Ella enough, I hope to use her again for future special occasions.

  • Perfectly Captured our Palm Springs Wedding

    Ella captured our day absolutely perfectly. She was so amazing to work with, and blended in so well with our guests that we hardly noticed she was there, but she didn't miss a single moment. Her quality is simply unmatched, especially when being able to capture such special moments in a maximalist environment! Very reasonably priced, would hire her over and over again.

    I dont know what else to say except: YOU NEED ELLA!! If you want your pictures to be lively, bright, and fun, she is the one! We worked with her for a couple months through engagement pics up until our wedding, and I just don’t have enough good things to say about her. We provably hired a different photographer for our wedding, but the vibes were off and she did not listen to my vision. Me and my husband can be awkward in front of the camera, but she directed us and told us exactly what we needed to do. Our wedding experience would not have been the same without her! She captured the exact vision that I had and then some. 100% worth every penny. Please just book her already!!
