Madi Ellis Photography

About

As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and unfiltered emotion. My background in theater combined with a deep love for wedding photography allows me to use the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples every way possible. From intimate elopements to traditional full day weddings, I'm here to capture everything from the big kiss to the secret "I love you's" shared in a whisper.
