my vision
Ella Grace brings a calm, confident presence to your wedding day. A trusted guide with an instinctive eye, she makes posing feel effortless, natural, and full of emotion—while capturing every candid moment along the way.
She understands that your wedding is composed of fleeting, extraordinary moments: those that celebrate the relationships and love that have brought you together, and the details that make your day uniquely yours. With thoughtful artistry, Ella preserves these moments in stunning photographs that will be treasured for generations.”
About Ella Grace Richards

get to know
At times I’m drawn to the timeless elegance of black and white, other moments to the softness of natural light, or the bold energy of flash. Some days are bright and vibrant, others moody and atmospheric—often all within the same celebration.
Is it consistent? Absolutely. But never identical, because each wedding is as unique and unrepeatable as the love it honors.
