Artistic, Stylish Storytelling.

We are a husband and wife team who are passionate about capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day. The year 2025 marks our 10th anniversary of running our wedding photography business. With years of experience and a deep appreciation for the beauty and significance of weddings, we bring a creative and personalized touch to every shoot.

Our style is natural and authentic, with an emphasis on capturing candid moments that truly reflect the personalities and emotions of our clients. From the first meeting to the final edit, we prioritize clear communication, flexibility, and attention to detail to ensure that every couple's vision is realized.

We believe that wedding photographs and wedding films should be more than just a set of pretty pictures and video clips - it should be a reflection of the love story being told. That's why we take the time to get to know our clients and understand what makes their relationship unique. We approach each shoot with a sense of curiosity and wonder, eager to capture the small moments that make each wedding day truly special.

Thank you for considering us as your wedding photographers. We look forward to working with you to create memories that will last a lifetime.

The Perfect Photographers for our Wedding!

Elena and Nik captured our wedding and engagement perfectly, I highly recommend!

Elena and Nik photographed our two-day American-Nigerian wedding this past April, and they truly went above and beyond. There was a lot to coordinate with the weekend’s events, but they were incredibly flexible and on top of everything, making sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

We also did our engagement photos with them in the fall, and we absolutely loved how everything turned out. From the location choices to the final pictures, they nailed it!

I was a little nervous about the photography since my mom is also a professional photographer and I am picky, but I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The photos, videos, and printed products, especially the album, are stunning. They really captured the love of our wedding day.

Elena and Nik are not just incredibly talented, but they also made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. They’re professional, creative, and a lot of fun to work with. If you’re getting married, I can’t recommend them enough. They’re truly the best!

Thank you for capturing our special day!

This review is WAY overdue. Nik and Elena did our engagement photos at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens and wedding photos at our family garden. Photos were a very important part of the day because we had so many out of town visitors and family in one place and wanted to have my mother’s garden shine. They were professional, fun, and so accommodating for all the staged photos we did with friends and family during the reception! They are very talented. The turnaround was so fast too!

Can’t say enough. Hire them!

Top Class Photo & Video

Photography and videography were critical parts of our wedding planning process and Elena & Nik truly delivered on our high expectations. As inexperienced formal picture takers, my husband and I valued Elena & Nik’s extensive photography knowledge and capabilities. They knew just what environments to create and how to capture the best moments within them, all the while fostering a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere that made us feel at home even while not completely in our element. Elena & Nik were incredibly thorough throughout the planning process, making everything completely stress free and giving us complete and utter confidence that our precious moments would be captured perfectly. Our photos and videos turned out better than we could have ever expected. We are able to look back on them with such profound gratitude for the ability to again experience our special day forever through the moments that Elena and Nik were able to freeze in time for us. We recommend Elena and Nik to anyone who is looking for a level of experience that is truly top class and look forward to any opportunity we might be able to work with them again in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
