My now husband and I got engaged shortly after we moved across the country to Seattle, Washington. I was ready...I was 31 and so excited. I always knew I would get married one day. There was no rush. I had lots of fun in my 20's...I highly recommend that! Travel, live with girlfriends, by a new car of your very own, be successful in your career, etc.
I flourished in my planning three thousand miles away...I traveled back to Massachusetts every other month and made the plans happen. Everything went smoothly, for the most part, for our planning of our big day. I even connected online to other brides planning weddings in our month (and still keep in touch with some of them...they are awesome!)
As I work in the Wedding Arena in New England, I get giddy with excitement all over again. Talking to brides and their fiance's about their plans really gets me so excited. I am thrilled to be a part of the wedding field, helping brides and grooms with capturing the emotion of their day...creating the perfect package for them and their desires and needs.
I thought it was awesome to see a photograph I had staged is still on our wedding photographer's page almost twelve years later. I enjoyed our wedding photographer, but I wish I had shopped around a little to find someone we connected with personally. Our images are awesome and we love our wedding album.
I have decided only to do one wedding per month. I want to give that wedding my all...I don't want them to have to wait too long for their images and products like albums and wall art. Also, my family is a priority too. :)
Contact me asap for a consultation for your wedding photography! I will buy the coffee/tea!

Bridal Fair Time!
Gearing up to do my first ever Bridal Fair tomorrow! So much preparation...and I committed just a couple weeks ago.
I am so excited to meet engaged ladies and chat with them about their plans for their wedding day. It was a blast when I was planning mine and so thrilled to be a part of others' excitement as well.
I will have a super fabulous offer for brides and grooms to be at my booth tomorrow at the Radisson in Manchester, NH, you don't want to miss it! Also, if you need a ticket, I have a few passes. Just email me at Debbie@debbieellisphotos.com and I will give you a couple. Lots of other fabulous vendors and giveaways as well! Be sure to be there, it's 11-3, right before the Patriot's game...perfect timing. :)
Can't wait to meet you! Be sure to share this with all the engaged couples you know in New England!

Thank You for a Fabulous 2011
As 2011 ended, I was pleased with my accomplishments. I started the year by going to PPA's Imaging USA in San Antonio and continued my investment in education though the year. The highlight being the New England Institute of Professional Photography in April, forty hours of hands on learning on Cape Cod was amazing!
From that point on, things really started happening...working with happy families (mostly), awesome newborns, more dancers, high school seniors and even some weddings! Onto the fall minis, Santa, and family sessions for holiday cards. Also, I connected with a great corporation that hired me to do commercial work for them. Photoshop, which has been a thorn in my side for years, I learned enough to create over 1500 photo cards this past season. That is an accomplishment for me!
So, I look back with such gratitude for awesome people that I worked with and hope to continue working with in the future. It's so fun to meet such nice people celebrating happy times in their lives. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to make this career happen!
Thank you to you and you and you...everyone who has shared this ride with me! xoxo I am grateful for everyone who has touched me and my business in 2011 and look forward to 2012 with high expectations for myself and my business.
