Ellie was an absolute joy to work with! She captured both our engagement session and our wedding and she went far above and beyond for both. Ellie has a fantastic eye and unique style. She was able to bring out the best in our day, while still making it feel like us. We'll cherish these forever! Thank you so much Ellie. ❤

"Easily the best experience I have ever had with a photographer. Ellie was so patient with my husband and I , as she provided us with a good location to meet and poses to do while she snapped our pics . Since my husband and I had no idea how to pose for a maternity pics she definitely helped a lot . Definitely great at what she does , the quality of the photos is totally amazing and blew my mind. I am surprised she didn't charge more for such great looking pictures . So TALENTED , I saw Ellie's work on IG and immediately fell in love . I am still in awe of the pics she took that day . I cannot recommend Ellie enough ! Not to mention she is super sweet and her energy is totally unmatched!"

I can't say enough about Ellie and her gorgeous pictures. From the very first phone call until the final photos were delivered she was so helpful, nice, and professional. By the time the wedding was over and all the guests had left I felt like Ellie was "one of the family." She and her assistant made all of us feel at ease and the pictures showcase her ability to capture all the "little" moments that meant so much to us. I would recommend McKenzie Studios over and over again.

"To say Ellie is amazing would be an understatement. My now fiancé worked with Ellie to plan a “photoshoot” for a surprise proposal. I had mentioned that I wanted our photos to not look “autumn-y” which was a big ask considering it was beginning of November. Somehow she made it happen and our photos came out exactly how I wanted. As for the additional work she put in to the proposal prep, she went above and beyond helping my fiancé set up the picnic and overall story line to get me to the point of the proposal without any idea of what was to come. She is just such a genuine person and I would recommend her to ANYONE looking for a photographer in the Birmingham area!"

Our engagement session with Ellie was absolutely magical! She made us feel so at home and comfortable the entire time. She is the best and we could not be more happy with our photos!!

"After seeing her photography work, I KNEW I needed her to take mine + my partner’s photos! The way she made us feel comfortable & let us have fun was so amazing! I am also very indecisive and she was very patient and helped me figure out the perfect place and poses for the vision I had in mind. Once I received the photos, I was IN LOVE! The way she shot and edited perfectly capture what I was looking for. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!"
