Photography By Ellie Jayne

Photography By Ellie Jayne is a specialist wedding photographer based in Hythe, proudly serving couples across the New Forest, Southampton and wider Hampshire. Ellie’s approach is rooted in making you feel completely at ease so your day unfolds naturally — she blends documentary storytelling with gentle direction to create images that are both honest and beautifully composed. Why choose Ellie for your wedding? She focuses on capturing the whole story of your day: the quiet, unscripted moments between vows, the joyful reactions of your nearest and dearest, and the considered, romantic portraits of the two of you. Ellie believes the best photographs come from a relaxed atmosphere, so she works with a friendly, conversational manner that calms nerves and encourages genuine connection in front of the camera. What makes her approach special is a balance of documentary instinct and creative composition. Ellie looks for emotion, light and detail — whether that’s a candid laugh during the speeches, a fleeting glance, or the tiny handcrafted elements you’ll want to remember. She always meets couples before booking, so she understands your vision and personality and tailors the photography to suit you both. How Ellie works on the day is unobtrusive and reassuring. She aims to let you enjoy your wedding with confidence, stepping in for posed family or couple shots when needed, and otherwise capturing the story as it happens. Engagement and location sessions are available for couples who want relaxed pre-wedding images or a chance to get comfortable in front of the lens before the big day. As well as weddings, Ellie specialises in family and maternity photography, bringing the same gentle, story-driven style to those sessions. But when it comes to weddings, her priority is to deliver professional wedding photos that feel timeless, authentic and full of heart — memories you’ll return to for years to come. If you’re planning a wedding in Hythe, the New Forest or Hampshire and want a photographer who combines warmth, experience and an eye for real moments, get in touch to chat about your day and see if Ellie is the right fit for you.
