Hey, I'm Ella,
Lover of the small things, contented with a cosy home and surrounded by my favourite people.
Capturing timeless photographs that I know will be cherished for years to come fills my cup. I’ve felt even more connected to this in recent years as I document these very moments for my own family. Clinging onto every little detail of my son, the way he squeezes my fingers for comfort; the growing cheekiness in his eyes, hoping that I will remember these young years for a lifetime.
My photography is honest & heartwarming, for those who want to set out and explore together and capture those very stories you will tell in years to come.

We had the wonderful Ella for our October wedding (not only is she superwoman as she was only a few months post super cute baby!!) but Ella was so sweet, calming and like an instant best friend. Our pictures are gorgeous and better than we could have imagined! Ella’s timings were great as well as we didn’t want to be away from the party for long periods of time and Ella timed it perfectly!! We had so many compliments about how natural it felt to have Ella around and how beautiful our pictures are! 10/10 all round and will continue to recommend to everyone and anyone!!

We had the most wonderful experience with Ella for our newborn photoshoot. We absolutely love Ella’s photography style and we love every single one of the photos! As our baby was a little bit older, Ella suggested a location shoot and it was everything we could dream about… Fun and full of creative ideas and she made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. The photos turned out absolutely stunning – every moment captured perfectly, every beautiful detail, giving us memories we’ll cherish forever. 10000% recommend!

Thank you to Ella for helping make our day so amazing. She's so subtle and she has a lovely calming energy about her. I have the proofs back from our wedding and I'm already blown away. I couldn't recommend her enough. She did my sisters wedding and also both our engagement shoots... she is in the family now and I can't wait for more excuses for her to take our photos!
Mikayla & Ian

If your looking for someone professional, friendly, unique and much more then Ella is your girl!
Ella has captured the best moments of our lives so far. We've had a engagement shoot, she photographed our wedding in Cuba, our wedding reception back in the UK and our latest shoot was the arrival of our newborn baby.
Ella has a amazing unique style with taking photos and is so lovely and makes you feel comfortable to be around.
We wouldn't use anyone else and 100% recommend Ella Violet Photography to everyone.

Ella was brilliant, very proffessional and made us feel at ease in front of the camera. She captured fantastic photos of my children that I will treasure forever. This was our second shoot with Ella and we will be back for more as the children grow. Thank you so much!!
Emma & Jeff
Ella has just recently photographed our wedding. I just want to say a massive thank you! I felt like I had one of my friends by my side from getting ready in the morning to dancing the night away.
Ella you couldn’t have been more accommodating, professional, helpful and just so lovely and kind. You helped with things that didn’t even concern you and for that I will always remember and be grateful. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are amazing at your work! Can’t wait to see you in the future for some family photoshoots!!
