Absolutely fantastic!

You can NOT go wrong with Elena! She went out of her way to arrive early, stay late, and delivered exactly what we wanted and more. I will treasure these photos forever!

Surprise Proposal & Elopement

Elena was awesome! I wanted to do a surprise proposal and Elena helped me plan and give ideas. She was super flexible (willing to hide in the bushes) to capture our special moment forever. Elena was easy to work with, very positive and encouraging, and always recommending and guiding the photoshoot so it feels super easy and cooperative. We loved our proposal photos so much that we asked Elena to take our elopement photos as well. We were lucky in terms of having a perfect weather but it was thanks to Elena and her research of the location and her vision that we are now able to have beautiful photos of our special moment framed in our home :)
Elena is an amazing photographer, cares a lot about doing her best and about making it special for the couples as well. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Wedding Photography

Elena did an excellent job photographing my wedding! She is a very professional and experienced photographer. We had a "COVID wedding" which presented some unique challenges, but she did a great job overcoming any "COVID difficulties" and adjusting to any last minute changes/surprises. I would recommend her to anyone interested in high-quality, professional, and beautiful photos! We couldn't be happier with our photos :)
