I'm so glad my husband and I found Elana and Kim. They take the time to get to know you as a couple and want to hear all about your wedding from beginning to end. They ask you what you are looking for and put together a tailored experience and plan for you. We had an unusal traditional wedding. We booked a permit for our favorite beach in Northport and then went to our favorite italian restaurant and had about 60 guests. Everything went so smoothly. I would recommend Elan for all types of weddings since Kim and her were very professional, kind, and really listened. Thank you.

We cannot speak highly enough of Elana and Kim! Professional, responsive, and informative. Elana responded to our inquiry almost immediately! Mind you it was a last-minute request, and she did not hesitate to accommodate us. She listened to what we were looking for and provided options to choose from. Kim came to the ceremony. Kim is awesome! She is a pleasure to work with. And the pictures! We are so happy with the results! If all businesses were as professional and courteous as Elana's what a wonderful world it would be!

Wonderful photos from my 50th birthday party - a varied mix of group shots and closeups and creative ones. Elana was helpful, observant, unobtrusive and professional. Thank you!

Five stars on every level since the day I first messaged Elana. It doesn't matter if your priority is professionalism, flexiblity for scheduling or pricing, photography and editing talent, or reliability because she's got all of it. She responds to messages within hours, never days, and was able to meet my fiance and I just days after I contacted her. She took our vision, priorities and budget, and put together our own wedding/engagement package with incomparable value. Hiring her for our engagement photos and wedding day has by far been the most stress free part of wedding planning. We were looking for a photographer willing to travel 2.5 hours to Sedona for our engagement shoot and she wasn't just happy to do it, she was excited! Our shoot went fantastic, with just enough direction to give us different fun starting points with muliple backdrops and from there simply made us comfortable to be ourselves, have fun, and let our love shine through beautifully captured candid movements. We got a preview photo the very next morning and within 3 days we received all of our (over 150) beautiful edited photos. Three days! Our wedding day is still 10 months away, and with so much still to do I can't be more thankful that I won't have to spend a second concerned about this aspect of it. I can't wait to see how she records our big day and hopefully many other future milestones in our lives together through amazing photos.

I've had the pleasure of having Elana capture 4 of my events so far and cannot wait to have more parties for her photograph! Over the past few years of working with Elana I can say she is the best choice for capturing your family's special moments.

Elana is amazing. She goes out of her way to get the shot you want and memorialize your special day. From our engagement pictures, to our wedding and now our first family pictures with our daughter, Elana has beautifully captured some of our favorite moments. As an added bonus, Elana is so fun to be around and creates a lighthearted atmosphere so that you feel natural and happy in front of her camera. The images speak for themselves!

I was looking for a photographer for our son's Bar Mitzvah, and found some great reviews of Elana's work online. I kept going back to her website because I thought she had really captured the essence of the events she had photographed. Not realizing she didn't even live in NY at the time, I reached out. I have to say I was a little skeptical at first working with someone out of state, but Elana didn't disappoint. She was easy to work with and showed up on time for the pre-shoot at our Synagogue, as well as for the party the next evening. She and her husband helped out with our video montage as well, and it was amazing. We're so glad we used Elana for our son's Bar Mitzvah photography. She captured some amazing shots in a space where the lighting seemed a bit challenging (club-like with lots of strobe lighting), and the pictures provide a beautiful memory from our wonderful occasion. We'd definitely recommend her and use her again!

My wife Erika previously raved about our first meet and greet and amazing engagement photo shoot experience with Elana in an earlier review. Ten months then went by that led up to our perfect wedding day with her and her assistant as our photographers. We touched base here and there as needed, but we were so confident with her reliability and professionalism we knew going months without communication wasn't something to worry about. Erika sent her a tentative schedule for the wedding day a week or two before and the day of she arrived early completely prepared having remembered all our ideas like we signed our contract yesterday, not last year. Throughout the day she guided us to capture both candid and posed photos, making sure if we wanted anything specific it was done. For the most part we just took full advantage of her talent of playing off our personalities and chemistry to get great natural looking pictures. She worked around our schedule and managed to keep us on track to get everything we wanted done and captured in photos while still allowing us to spend time with guests and enjoy our day as we wanted. It was impressive really how she maintained her professionalism while also blending in with our guests. Everyone loved her! Guests commented after how she appeared to be everywhere never missing a photo, but was also extremely friendly joining in on the laughs as the night went on. We recieved over 40 edited wedding photos 3 days after and all almost 900 edited photos in 4 weeks! She and her assistant photographer took such fun and beautiful photos of every single guest, not a single one was missed. They were so great my wife printed at least 1 or 2 small ones of our guests having fun together or with us and sent them with our thank yous. Everyone loved them! You just can't beat Elana's value for the price. She'll work with you with flexible packages to make sure you get your priorities in your budget. Everything you get from reliability and professionalism to talent and quality of photos will make your wedding/event go so smoothly. Who doesn't want one less thing to totally not worry about in the months leading up to and during your big day? Thank you Elana!

Elana was truly a godsent on my wedding day! She and her husband were real professionals throughout the full day. The entire bridal party really enjoyed our experience with Elana- she was very flexible with ever changing weather and put everyone's nerves at ease. I would highly recommend Elana to any bride on their big day!

Elana was simply wonderful! We had an unusual event with multiple locations across different dates and she was very accommodating. She even turned around a full video and set of photos between one event (Monday) and the next (Saturday). The video was perfect and the photos are fantastic. Also, I'm pretty sure she's captured the best photo of me in my entire life. It's STILL my Facebook profile pic. :)
