Introduction: The Slatons is Andrew Slaton and wife, Ellen, a traveling destination-style and adventurous wedding photography duo. The Slatons love capturing the story of your love! Andrew earned his bachelor’s degree in photojournalism from the University of Texas at Austin and has been a professional photographer for over two decades. In that time, he has traveled the world for a variety of clients, capturing the essence of glacial peaks, grizzly bears and the significant first look between husband and wife. His wide range of expertise and experience is the foundation of The Slatons that turns a fleeting moment into a treasured, lifelong work of art. In the last 6-7 years, he has also been producing video content for a variety of clients. He is an FAA commercially licensed drone pilot as well. Andrew is fun and easy to work with, as well as punctual and professional. He delivers quality, quickly. On your day, think of Ellen as your behind the scenes, go-to-girl. As the organizer of the Slaton team, Ellen keeps track of the Bride’s (and Mother’s, Aunt’s and bestie’s…) “must have shots” and helps ensure the day runs smoothly without stress. With an Art History degree from the University of Texas in Dallas, her passion for finding transcendent moments in the everyday keeps her committed to your unique story and searching for ways to express your memorable day by guiding with poses, capturing behind the scenes candids, & original camera angles. ***WHERE ARE WE LOCATED, you might ask? Funny story... 7 years ago we were traveling so much for shoots that we decided to sell our home and most of our stuff and buy a truck and travel trailer and hit the road! We follow the work and base ourselves in Jackson Hole, WY, Chattanooga, TN, and then Naples, FL. So we live where you live! Sorta :) So if you see our location changing, don’t worry, that’s just Andrew planning work along our route. Another great thing about this lifestyle is that travel is usually not an extra cost for you!

We did a family portrait session with The Slatons. They were awesome from beginning till the end of it all . This was our very first family photography experience ever and we were made feel REALLY comfortable from the get go! And from then on we could not only let them take some really fantastic photos of our family but also enjoyed the whole process . We Highly recommend The Slatons for anyone wanting to do outdoor family photography.

I will be recommending The Slatons to everyone! Generally we are a non-photo friendly/photo awkward family; however, our experience with the Slatons was lighthearted and fun. The photographs were stunning and their customer service/ professionalism top notch. Could not have asked for a better experience, thank you Slatons!

The Slatons made our wedding day! They responded immediately. We were unsure of a location on the beach and they helped us pick the most amazing spot. They made the day very special for my husband and I by taking what felt as “natural” photos. We don’t like getting our photo taken and we actually had so much fun. They basically are the dream team. Like Jordan and Pippen.

Andrew and Ellen were absolutely amazing! They shot our wedding in Grand Teton in September and we’ve been very happy with the experience. They were so fun to work with and went above and beyond to capture our big day. I can’t say enough positive things about their professionalism and energy the day of. Would undoubtedly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer!!
