About
Andrew Slaton and his wife, Ellen, form The Slatons - a couple specializing in destination-style and adventurous wedding photography. Their focus is on capturing the beautiful story of love.Andrew holds a degree in photojournalism from the University of Texas at Austin and has been a professional photographer for over 20 years. During this time, he has traveled extensively, photographing everything from mesmerizing glaciers to captivating encounters between couples. His vast experience and proficiency in a wide range of techniques form the backbone of The Slatons, transforming fleeting moments into enduring works of art. Furthermore, he is also a licensed drone pilot and content creator for a variety of clients. His work is timely, high-quality, and enjoyable.
Behind the scenes, Ellen coordinates the Slaton team. With an Art History degree from the University of Texas in Dallas, she has an unfailing passion for immortalizing the most extraordinary moments of the day with her behind-the-scenes candid shots and unique camera angles. Additionally, she ensures the day runs smoothly and without stress by keeping track of the Bride's and her entourage's "must-have" shots.
The Slatons have a unique lifestyle that undeniably benefits their clients. They sold most of their possessions seven years ago to travel for their shoots. They base themselves in Jackson Hole, WY, during the summer and autumn and in Naples, FL, during the winter and between seasons. Therefore, they aren't restricted by their location and can work wherever you are without extra travel costs.

Andrew and Ellen are by far the best photographers I've had the pleasure of working with in quite some time. As a wedding planner, I'm constantly on the lookout for quality vendors for my clients. In Andrew and Ellen, I feel like I hit the jackpot! They were prompt, upbeat, and arrived earlier than anticipated to capture the bridal party in action. The duo was delightful to work with and brought a level of professionalism, kindness, and humor that made the day even more enjoyable. I have no doubt that the bride and groom will be thrilled with the stunning images created by this dynamic photography team. And personally, their number is now at the top of my speed dial list!

It is impossible to describe in words just how incredible Andrew and Ellen made our wedding weekend. They are exceptional photographers and even more extraordinary people!
From our initial phone call, we connected with them on a personal level and embraced like old friends when we met. As first-time subjects of a professional photo shoot, we appreciated their coaching, creative cueing, and willingness to try diverse shots. Their energy and enthusiasm made the process feel easy, fun and natural, drawing a crowd of admirers as they captured our most special moments with great ease.
Andrew and Ellen went above and beyond to drive anywhere and do anything to make our experience unforgettable. They joined us for a golden hour shoot, welcomed guests at our wilderness party, rehearsed with us on Friday evening and spent all day with us on Saturday, documenting our wedding ceremony, and reception. They were outstanding in every way, and our guests loved them as much as we did!
Their commitment to excellence is unwavering and we never felt rushed, even when we went over time on every single photo shoot. They made sure every picture was perfect before wrapping up.
We can hardly wait to see the rest of our photos, after getting a small preview of some of them on their camera. Andrew and Ellen’s pricing is incredibly reasonable, and you will walk away with not only fabulous photographs but two new friends!
We couldn’t be happier with our choice and confidently recommend them to anyone looking for the best wedding photographers out there!

Andrew and Ellen went above and beyond to make our wedding experience unforgettable. Their unwavering support and assistance throughout the entire planning process truly exceeded our expectations. Their prompt response time and friendly demeanor made us feel at ease each time we spoke. Their individual personalities shone brightly and made our wedding day incredibly enjoyable. Celebrating on the beach with our loved ones was a dream come true, and with the help of Andrew and Ellen, we were able to capture so many magical moments. They even made sure to take pictures of me alone on the beach before the ceremony, which was a lovely touch. As the sun began to set, they managed to take the most stunning photos of us at the perfect moment. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you so much, Andrew and Ellen, for everything!

The remarkable Andrew exceeded our expectations! Despite the difficulty of photographing 3-year-old twin boys during our beach shoot in Naples, he remained patient, kind, and elicited the best poses from all of us. We were impressed by his punctuality, as he was already waiting for us when we arrived. His value is incomparable, having sent us over 200 stunning images, each one better than the last. Andrew's talents as a photographer are evidenced by his high-quality equipment and exceptional lighting skills, resulting in flawless photos. His level of professionalism is unparalleled as he consistently delivered beyond our expectations, completing the project sooner than anticipated.
