MEET THE TEAM

Maria

I have owned this Maria Ellmore Photography since 2014. I love to take photographs of those amazing moments. Whether it is in wedding, portrait or commercial photography, my attention to detail and relaxed personality brings out the best in my clients and create beautiful images to cherish forever or to use for marketing.


I have 2 gorgeous girls who are no strangers to the camera themselves, after having years of me practising my technique with them. My partner, Sami, is a Queer vicar, so I'm very comfortable working with the LGBTQIA+ community as well as knowing any minister's little quirks. We have a dog called Sabre, who bring such joy to my life so I'm pet friendly in case you're thinking of including your pets: I would love that!

Ivan

Ivan is outgoing, very chatty and friendly. He loves all animals and mostly dogs “ if someone doesn’t like animals, there's something wrong”. He works hard to capture and film beautiful moments, in a relaxed way. He describes himself as a fly on the wall, might not see him or notice him, but the moments will be captured and saved for eternity.

Bek

Bek and Maria have been friends for over 30 years. Bek has always been creative, with an eye for detail. She used to work alongside Maria as the main second photographer but she started her own business as a foot health practitioner. She couldn't bring herself to give up wedding photography and so will work with Maria on occasion; as she always says "Who doesn't love a wedding?".


Bek has 2 beautiful daughters and is married to Lee. They have a house full of animals, so much so that Maria's daughter's call her home 'the tiny farm'. Taking photographs of her family and pets brings Bek great joy, which carries over to her wedding photography.

Kat

Kat has her own photography business, Kat Shot This, and is a vibrant and bubbly photographer, with a keen eye for details and candid moments. She is not only a professional that fits comfortably into the role of a second for us, she is a trained nurse and always comes prepared with those things you just might not have realised you need on your wedding day if things go wrong!
