Meet Ellen

Photographer

At its core, photography is about connection—capturing the essence of a person, a place, or a moment in time. I’m Ellen Carty, a lifestyle and wedding photographer who believes in the beauty of the in-between moments: the quiet glance, the burst of laughter, the way light plays across a scene. With a passion for storytelling and an eye for detail, my work reflects an intentional approach to creating images that feel as authentic as the people and places they represent. Whether I’m working with families, couples, brands, or adventurers, my goal is to deliver more than just photos—I aim to provide an experience that feels easy, collaborative, and uniquely yours.

Based in Kodiak, Alaska, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients who value timelessness and authenticity as much as I do. From intimate portraits to brand campaigns, every project is a chance to tell a story worth remembering. I aim to capture your unique story, preserving the laughter, tears, and unforgettable moments for a lifetime. Let’s create something unforgettable together. Get in touch

Not just a photographer

Through experience, I've noticed my ideal client isn’t just looking for a photographer—they’re seeking a collaborator. Someone who will take the time to understand their vision and translate it into images that feel personal, timeless, and meaningful. They understand the value of investing in high-quality photography and are willing to trust my expertise and vision. Whether you’re a couple planning an intimate wedding, a brand passionate about telling your story, or an adventurer who wants to capture the beauty of wild places, you value beauty, authenticity and attention to detail.

You understand that photography is about preserving emotions, moments, and connections in a way that feels true to you. You don’t want trendy or overly staged. You want photography that resonates, that tells your story, and that will stand the test of time.
