About

Located in coastal Delaware, I love doing beach weddings, but churches and other venues are beautiful also. From a small intimate affair with just the two of you to lavish events, I work within your budget. Travel across the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware is never a problem and I am willing to travel to neighboring states, across the country, or wherever your destination wedding takes you.

Wedding 9/16/22

Sam Ellis or as I call him Mr. Ellis. I've known his man was going to shoot my wedding for a long time. He made the day so simple and pulled off next day sneak peeks. I cannot wait to see how he captured my day but I just know from using him prior it will be amazing. Best photography around, BOOK HIM!

Super Sam!

We booked Sam for an engagement session on the beach. He was easy to contact and timely with all of his communication. Our originally scheduled day got rained out and he was able to rebook us for a new day not long after our original. As two people who are camera shy we went into this session with some nerves but Sam made us feel very comfortable. He gave great direction and prompts for the poses and had us shoot at a variety of locations in the state park. He even spent some extra time waiting at the end just to make sure the sunset wasn't going to throw us any beautiful surprises as it dipped below the horizon. We appreciated his thoughtfulness in every shot and we are thrilled with our photos! Would recommend him in a heartbeat and look forward to the next time we are able to work with Sam.

We could not be happier with our wedding photos! Sam captured every amazing moment of our big day so well! We are so excited to have such incredible photos to share with friends and family. Sam was very responsive even with his busy schedule. Even with last minutes changes to our ceremony location, Sam was quick to adapt. He got our photos back to us only ONE WEEK after the wedding!! We will cherish these pictures forever!
