Ella Photography

Hi I'm a lifestyle photographer located in Montreal and I'm here to make you fall in love with yourself again. EVERY client that I’ve ever had has told me that they weren’t photogenic. But thing is.you are. The main reason people don’t “look good” in photos is that they aren’t being themselves. They are nervous, they don’t know when the flash is going to go off, the lighting is bad and, most of the time, the person taking the photo doesn’t even have the decency to say: 1, 2, 3, go! I mean. Come on! You don’t even have a chance to look good! Having a pro photographer isn’t the same thing. My goal is to show off your personality and your love for each other. Now that’s beautiful! Too often I’ve seen other photographers try to control the photo. They would pose people like they were puppets and tell them exactly what to feel and what to say to each other. I want to follow YOU all day. Whatever happens, happens. I do not pose. I’m there to capture how your day unfolds. Don’t worry, we DO have a portrait session (I’m actually known for those!) but I don’t like to pose. I will help you by telling you where/how to stand but then, you do what you want! I want you to remember how you were feeling at that precise moment when the photo was taken. How beautiful you looked that day. I don’t care about how dirty the room is or how the other photographers did it before. I’m there for YOU on YOUR session. I’ll help you keep the timeline in check at your wedding, make sure you don’t forget to go to the bathroom (and eat!), get your guests to sit down when you are ready for your entrance, or even help you put in your contact lenses (yes, it has happened). It’s not only about the photos for me. It’s about making sure that you get the experience that you deserve. I’m not only there to make sure I get all the shots I need. I’m there to be your little assistant and capture your day.
