Welcome to McKenzie Studios

'the perfect blend of British elegance and American charm'

Welcome to McKenzie Studios, I'm a traveling wedding and elopement photographer based in Birmingham Alabama. From the US to the UK, Photography has always been a passion of mine, and documenting the craziness of my own life has been so fun to look back on over years. This is why I know how important it is to capture all those special little moments that make life so special. 

Our memories should be captured in the most true and authentic way, so you can re live those special moments over and over again! As an expat, I bring a unique perspective to your images by combining the perfect blend of British elegance and American charm! Think timeless classics rooted in true emotion, capturing all the real moments from your big day in the most stylish yet authentic way. 

HI THERE!

 Ellie x

My name is Ellie! Originally from England, I came to the states to play football (soccer) in college where I met my husband and the rest, as they say, is history! Throughout this time photography has always been a love of mine and I'm so excited to share my passion with you!

Are you the kind of person who feels shy in front of the camera or hates forced poses? Trust me I get it, I'm exactly the same!! I hate having my picture taken, but I LOVE having pictures or memories all over the house. So heres the secret... the right photographer for you will make you forget about the camera and feel totally at ease! Thats where those fun candid moments happen and I'm here for them all. Ready to find a photographer thats right for you, you're come to the right place!

I currently live in Birmingham AL with my husband Luigi, our dog Bentley and the house is never without at least 3 rescue pups that we foster for a local charity.

I'm so glad you're here

KIND WORDS

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!!

"I know Ellie from college & have always known she was talented! 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!"

"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!"

"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!"
