Meet Elle Winnington-Coe
Hi, welcome. I’m Elle, Birmingham (UK) based Photographer, and I love a wedding.
I have worked in weddings for over 6 years and still feel that adrenaline rush with every one! I work closely with my husband Ben, who happens to also be a brilliant videographer (check out his work!) and best team mate. We have a gorgeous, larger-than-life daughter called Luna, a head strong son called Atlas, and a naughty Spaniel called Archie.
I feel immensely lucky to have the opportunity to work at such beautiful and joyful events and I will never take that for granted. I love to embrace each couples individuality and incorporate your personality into your wedding images to give you true and authentic memories from your day whilst also creating beautiful pieces of art.
I am a lover of beautiful light, fine details, nostalgic feelings and big smiles.
Here is some useless but insightful information about me;
- I think I have probably seen every crime documentary on Netflix now.
- Give me a large Sauvignon and I’ll talk to you all night long.
- My ‘must watch films’ are: ‘The Lobster’ by Yorgos Lanthimos, ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ by Martin McDonagh and ‘Get out’ by Jordan Peele. (Also Paddington 2)
- I started my creative journey as an artist, and wanted to become an illustrator. But fell in love with the freedom of photography.
- I became a Mom at 23 and it gave me the inspiration to set up my own business and build something special for our little family.
- We would like to travel with our little family and explore new places.
“Our photographers were like family on the day. There wasn’t a moment especially in the morning that was uncomfortable having a stranger around. Elle spent the morning with me, at moments she had ideas and went off and photographed things like my shoes and bouquet but the moments I remember she was right there with me snapping me getting ready and being a support too. Throughout the whole day she was a pleasure, I felt the service they gave was more than photographers they were a pleasure ”
Becoming a wedding photographer was never the plan; but as most creatives in the industry have found, I just fell into it; and then got the wedding bug!
Even though I am Midlands based, I travel all over the country to weddings; wherever I am needed. I’ve photographed weddings all over the UK, so, wherever you want to say your vows, I’m there! I would absolutely love to take my work abroad at some point, so if you’re planning a destination wedding, get in touch!
Being very chilled out myself, I like couples who don’t take themselves too seriously, can have a good time and embrace their individuality and creative side. I also love seeing the little personal touches couples add to their wedding day!
The thing I adore about working in the wedding industry, is being constantly surrounded by people who are happy! I feel so blessed to be a part of such exciting days in my couples lives, and I am hugely lucky to capture all the little moments which make up the day! I love to make energetic, colourful and expressive imagery to capture all those emotions and allow you to be taken back to your big day whenever you pick up your photos. The most important part of my job is capturing emotion. So smiles, tears, laughter and all those tight bear cuddles… I want it all! I understand how important these photographs will be to you in years to come so I put my all into every single wedding to make sure your imagery really captures you and your loved ones perfectly!
