Welcome to Ellie Rye Moments!

Amanda McGregor and her family

Based in the Creston Valley, serving the Kootenays. I am a passport-ready wedding, couples family and branding photographer for the laid-back and madly in-love!


As a photographer, I wear many unexpected hats (supporter, dress fluffer, problem solver and baby holder - just to name a few) all of which I welcome with open arms in order to provide a seamless and stress-free experience! I will be there for you throughout the planning process, to help make sure everything runs smoothly, and I hope to continue our friendship past the delivery of your gallery!


I can't wait to get to know you!

Documenting the authentic connections is one of my strongest passions in life. Your story deserves to be told, and to create heirlooms of your family is my greatest privilege.

So, you're engaged and planning the wedding of your dreams, just welcomed a new baby or looking to update your photos or brand and now you're searching for your perfect photographer. You're looking for someone who can make the experience as easy and comfortable as possible; someone who can authentically document your love and personalities or passion; someone who will deliver warm, timeless, and true-to-life photos that will be re-lived for generations to come.


I am a hopeless romantic, chaser of sunsets, and most importantly, professional third wheel - HA! but seriously, that's what this job feels like in the best possible way! I love to get awkward so let's do it!


With me, your sessions will feel so effortless and comfortable, as if we're friends just hanging out (which I hope we become!)
