ELLA RUSSELL PHOTOGRAPHY
My story:
My journey started at the age of 13 when my parents kindly gifted me my first camera. I remember the feeling of true joy that I finally had my very own camera. Without hesitation, I went straight outside and wanted to start capturing as much as I could. Being raised on a farm, I’ve always admired beautiful landscapes and the stillness and peacefulness of nature. I’m forever in awe of it. As an animal lover too, our family dog started having many 'voluntary' photo shoots and that’s where I began my own pet portrait business; capturing forever loved images of four legged friends.
Other shoots I’ve done:
-
Business shoot for candle company, Russell and White. Capturing the process of gorgeous smelling candles being made from start to finish.
-
Business shoot for a dog grooming company, Hounds of Hagley. Producing pictures for their company to launch with. Working in a hands on environment, capturing two pooches being groomed up to the nines.
Wedding photography became an interest of mine once I started planning my own in 2024. It put a different and helpful perspective on a wedding day. It made me value the importance of capturing the most important memories, naturally. This means I value your photos just as much as you.
My style/approach:
To describe my style of photography, I’d say my photos are honest, candid and natural. I want to show your love story through the lens. This is why it is important to me to learn about yourselves before the day so I can assure your vision comes to life.
I’ve been told I have a gentle, kind and positive approach to photography which is the way I believe it should be. Having this calming nature, allows me to be discreet, taking candid photos and making sure you’re able to fully take in your day without being in the way. As relaxed as I seem, I remain professional, getting all the important wedding moments in a smooth manner.
