About

Ela and Jason.

Ela has a long time love-love relationship with photography. She learned how to take a crisp photograph since her little tike years, when she learned that her mother managed to take all of their family vacation photos in a crooked manner. Ela went to art school at University of Michigan and Kendall College of Art and Design. Her favorite thing in the whole world is seeing happy people having fantastic times and celebrating life. So much so that she worked at catering companies for 8 years while in high school and College just to get the gist of all the important detail work in weddings. Her favorite shots focus on detail work, birght color and textures.

Jason started photographing people at a very young age when his mother let him use her camera at a relatives wedding. From that day the story goes on- while working for American Red Cross, he became the events photographer for many of the fundraisers. Other events include, mixed martial arts, public speakers, and liveonlineconcerts.com events. With all of his event photography, Jason has been able to grasp his true passion of capturing on those brief moments in time that tell a story.

Ela Jason met at an Art Gallery opening for their friend Tim Reese (you should really check out his stuff!) and were instantly hooked on each other. :) From then, studiofinch was born.

Love these guys!

Ela and Jason are just lovely and we ADORE our photos! Had to reschedule due to COVID and they were very sweet and understanding about it. They're very knowledgeable about wedding scheduling in general, and actually were very helpful in giving us ideas for local florists, venues, catering, DJs and how to plan the day, which is perfect for anyone who doesn't want a wedding planner. They've also worked in Chicago for years and are very familiar with the different wedding vendors which made it easy to organize our day.

It's been a hectic year and wedding season for photographers but we got our photos back quickly and they're absolutely fabulous. We had a fun time taking photos before the ceremony and it's clear that both Ela and Jason have a great eye for scenery and capturing beautiful moments without being over the top. They're honestly a steal and I can't recommend them enough to anyone who wants a great photography team for their wedding day.

The Best Photographers. Period.

Jason and Ela were the photographers and videographers for our wedding and our engagement shoot. They were the most professional, courteous, fun, engaging, and all around awesome photographers we could have asked for. Everyone in our bridal party and all of our family and friends absolutely loved them, and it honestly felt like we had a couple of close friends taking pictures at our wedding rather than people we had hired. When we sat down with them the first time to discuss what we were looking for, we ended up just chatting for almost 2 hours because of how honest and sincere they were about their passions, and my wife and I legitimately decided to hire them on the spot.

Their photographs are fantastic; they both employ different styles of photography so our pictures were a wonderful blend of excellent staged shots, candids, and dramatic photos, and had different aesthetics that checked every box that we had.

They're super up-front about their pricing and will gladly work with you on different options to fit your budget, and you get the digital rights to all of your photos, which was a requirement for us.

My wife and I honestly cannot recommend them enough, for any type of photography you need.

Ela and Jason were awesome to work with. Choosing our wedding photographer was the most important and heavily weighted vendor decision that my husband & I made. After months of research, we saw that Ela & Jason by far had the most artistic and beautiful photos that we could find. Not only that, but they are awesome, professional, & super fun to work with! They really go above & beyond the average photographer responsibilities! Prior to the wedding, they provided valuable advice on wedding planning & coordinating. During both our engagement session and wedding day, they were super organized and kept a close eye on the timeline and lighting. They had so many clever ideas for photos. On the wedding day, they did a great job keeping our crazy bridal party in line and worked so well with our family and guests. We highly highly recommend Ela & Jason -- they're amazing.
