About Karly Ellis Photography

Karly Ellis

Photographer & Owner

Hello HELLO! I am SO glad that you have found your way here. There is nothing I love more than a perfect wedding day. I consider myself a Chicago Wedding Photographer but I am always willing to travel for your next party! To introduce myself, my name is Karly Payne. My maiden name is Ellis hence the Karly Ellis Photography. I got married in July of 2021 so I know how exciting this time is!! I hope you are totally enjoying your time being engaged. Choosing a photographer is one of the hardest parts. You want to make sure you find a photographer where you not only love their work, but your personalities CLICK.

I am here to be your #1 hype girl at all times!! I want your photos to feel like YOU! I am here for the real and the happy. There is nothing better than photographing the belly laughs, the happy tears, and your wild reception moments. I will constantly be obsessing over sunsets and chasing the best light for the most gorgeous photos of you. Aside from the gorgeous couple photos I want to capture all of your moments. The big moments, the small moments, and the in between moments. I want you to look back on your wedding photos and FEEL it all over again.

    5 stars REALLY just doesn't cover it. Karly was so amazing right from the start. Her communication was clear and timely, her energy and attitude is unmatched. She really felt like a hype girl during both our engagement shoot & on our wedding day. She made everything so insanely seamless and stress free throughout the entire planning process. The timeline she helped us put together was a huge help and not necessarily something I think all photographers do in that much detail. She worked so well with our day of coordinator as well to make sure we were on schedule and everyone was where they were supposed to be. Now onto the actual photos...we had a dimly lit venue so I was worried that the pictures would be dark. Karly and her team absolutely KILLED IT. All the photos are STUNNING. She really takes the time to understand your style as a couple and what you may or may not be comfortable with when it comes to poses/etc. None of it ever felt like awkward, it really felt like you had one of your friends as a photographer. The sneek peaks she gets you are amazing and so fast it was so fun to get to see some photos THE NEXT DAY! We really got so many compliments from our bridal party, venue staff and some of our guests about how great our photographer was and how beautiful the pictures turned out. If you are on the fence about booking Karly, don't be. Book her!!! I really cannot recommend her enough.

    I would highly recommend working with Karly as your wedding photographer! We had an absolutely incredible experience with her during our engagement photo shoot, and she carried that same energy and care into our wedding day. Karly made us and our family members feel comfortable throughout the wedding day. She remembered specific pictures I had asked for in the days leading up to our wedding. She also tailored things to our wants and needs while also giving her professional input, which was highly appreciated. Not only did Karly make the wedding day itself so lovely, but she also got us sneak peek pictures extremely quickly! It was so amazing to be able to share a few wedding pictures with family and friends so soon after our wedding day. I cannot recommend Karly enough!!!
