welcome to eLLe photography!
eLLe PHOTOGRAPHY is a boutique photography studio, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, specializing in weddings and family portraits, and Laura Monfredini is its principal photographer (eLLe is a play on her first initial and nickname).
Her philosophy is simple: photography should be something you have fun with & pictures should reflect you, your style, and your day. When taking pictures, Laura looks for the little moments -- the stolen glances, the little kisses, the looks of joy & clicks the shutter when they happen. Her style trends towards a photojournalistic approach, but always with an eye for beauty.
Laura is inspired by all things pretty, warm colors, happy people, old Hollywood films, 1960s photography, and modern lifestyle advertising. Her style mixes whimsical moments, classic shots, and quirky, off-beat and humorous images.
Please click on the galleries to the left to see a sample of our work. eLLe PHOTOGRAPHY has been featured on numerous blogs, including industry darlings, "Style Me Pretty," "Grey Likes Weddings," and "Classic Bride." Laura also takes fine art photographs and was a 2011 Featured Contender in the internationally acclaimed "Hey, Hot Shot" competition sponsored by the Jen Bekman/20x200 Gallery in New York.
