Elly Deakin Photography

Elly was the best wedding photographer we could’ve asked for 🥰 She was so chilled and relaxed the whole day, half the time we didn’t even notice she was there (in a good way!!). The morning started with shots of me and the bridesmaids getting ready; breakfast, hair, makeup, all the chaos! Elly just instantly got along with everyone. I told her I wanted candid photos (because I hate posing 🙈) and she absolutely nailed it! Every picture felt so natural and full of happiness. Before the big day, she made sure to ask what specific shots we wanted, and she ticked every single one off. She worked so well with our wedding coordinator and just slotted right in with everyone, guests included! Elly got our preview pics back to us super quickly (which was so exciting!), and the rest followed shortly after, and WOW. They’re incredible. We’re genuinely so happy with them. Couldn’t recommend Elly enough, she’s talented, lovely, and just such a calming presence on what can be a hectic day 💕

Elly photographed our registry office wedding in Bristol. We were so excited to have one of Bristol's best design-led photographers capture our day and couldn't wait to see it through her creative lens! We wanted our photos to feel authentic, family orientated and relaxed. Elly is a natural storyteller and the loveliest person to hang out with on your wedding day. She made such an effort with our family from the get go which put everyone at ease and helped us focus on having a good time! It was full of big belly laughs while exploring the best of Bristol's backdrops. She struck the perfect balance of capturing moments as they happened and setting up photos she'd know we'd love! After she left, everyone commented on what a lovely person she was. When we got the photos back it brought back all of the details we didn't even notice on the day. We can't thank Elly enough for capturing these memories that we will cherish forever!

Elly captured our small ceremony and reception back in 2022. We had previously decided to not have a photographer and I’m SO glad we changed our minds! Elly was amazing on the day, captured a mixture of pictures and knew we didn’t want to spend ages having posed photos so worked as quickly as possible whilst still making sure we got the shot! Elly put us all at ease and I hardly noticed she was there. I love how the photos turned out and am so glad we have the memories captured. Thank you Elly! X

We were so thrilled to have Elly as our photographer for our legal ceremony at Bath Registry Office. We absolutely loved her natural style of photography — she captured the intimacy and emotion of the day perfectly. Elly was so warm and lovely from the moment we met her, and she made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The photos are beautiful and truly reflect how special the day felt. We couldn’t recommend Elly highly enough!

Elly was the photographer for our legal wedding in November 2024. The pictures she captured were just what we were looking for - authentic moments we can keep forever. Elly is talented but she’s also such a lovely warm person who slotted into our intimate wedding effortlessly. I highly recommend for wedding photography.
