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!

Andrew was so great and easy to work with for our short term rental property. The pictures turned out great and we received them the very next day, just like he promised. We will definitely be using him for our photography needs in the future!

The Slatons delivered the most exceptional family photography experience we've ever encountered! They effortlessly created a fun and relaxed atmosphere during the session, resulting in natural smiles and joyous candid moments for everyone involved. Despite our group of 14 spanning ages from 6 years to mid-70s, they were punctual and highly professional throughout. All 14 members of our family are thrilled with the photos and the captured moments! Remarkably, we received the edited photos in less than 48 hours, setting a new standard for turnaround time in our experience with photographers. I enthusiastically recommend the Slatons for your next photography session—you won't regret it!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

The Slatons were AMAZING during our family/surprise engagement photos. We had all 5 of our boys and they were patient, very interactive and very informative when we had questions about the surrounding areas. The turn around time on getting our gallery back was very quick! All around 10/10 experience. We received a TON of photos back. We will be using them for our wedding photos 😊
