Flamboyant. Fun. Soulful.

I'm Blane—your older, wiser, delightfully unapologetic photographer. I capture real moments with refined style for weddings, elopements, vow renewals, and celebration‑of‑life memorials. Elegant images, zero attitude.

Meet BlaneBoy

I’m Reverend Blane Ellsworth—yes, a minister and a photographer. I’ve spent decades helping people mark life’s biggest chapters with grace, humor, and heart. I’m flamboyant (in the best way), fiercely detail‑oriented, and devoted to creating photographs that feel elegant, alive, and unmistakably you.

You’ll get a calm guide, a hype‑man when you need one, and a pro who knows how to keep things moving. We’ll laugh, we’ll fix the boutonnière, and we’ll make images you’ll be proud to frame.
