    Highly Recommend Elana Goodridge Photography!

    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!

    July 15, 2023 Wedding

    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.

    Couldn’t Be Happier

    Elana is so amazing! It was my fiancé and my first photo shoot and she could tell we were a little tense and made us feel comfortable and tried to get us to become ourselves but it was a little harder for us haha but Elana was still able to capture every moment we would have wished for and through her pictures you can see the love we have for one another! I can't wait to set up another shoot with her and then hopefully set up our wedding! Thank you for everything Elana! You have become our go to photographer!

    Elana is so personable and easy to work with! She made us feel comfortable and at ease despite the obvious stressors of our day! Her pictures are beautiful! She did a wonderful job of capturing both spontaneous and important family shots. Would highly recommend!

    Amazing Photographs!

    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.

    Fantastic photographer!!

    I highly recommend Elana as an event photographer! She photographed my daughter's Bat Mitzvah and the pictures perfectly capture our memories of the event. So many beautiful ones to choose from! Elana is also super easy to work with! I can't say enough great things about her!! I would definitely hire her again!!

    Professional and Quality Photos.

    One of the best descisions we made was hiring Elana for our wedding. She was very flexible with our schedules and I felt that she committed herself 100% to making our day that much more special. All of the photos came out beautiful and not a moment was missed. Pricing was very reasonable and the quality of the photos are well above our expectations. We received all of our photos quickly and consent communication was held throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend these services.

    Quality, Professional Service & Beautiful Photography

    From the very first interactions with Elana we could tell that professionalism and delivering quality service are essential to the way she manages her business. We first met in early July 2017 in preparation for our October 2018 wedding. Elana designed a package that fit our needs and created a payment schedule that we all agreed to. In November 2017 our engagement session took place. We had a wonderful experience and received beautiful photos. When that was completed we still had several months before the wedding, but Elana made sure to keep in touch. She checked in with me to verify the details and to ensure she knew our schedule of events the day of the wedding. On the day of our wedding she and her assistant photographer arrived early and were ready to photograph our day immediately. Throughout the day Elana's presence was extremely positive & she photographed everything. We received a preview of our photos less than a week after the wedding. Three weeks after the wedding we received all of our photos beautifully retouched. We were thrilled with the results. I would certainly recommend Elana to photograph your wedding or special event!

    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.

    Dream Engagement Photos ✅ Perfect Wedding Photos ✅✅

    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!

    From posed to candid shots, Elana captures the feelings from your special day!

    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!

    I traveled from México to NYC to propose to my girlfriend at Times Square, I was really nervous because even with all the planning we did several months before, I knew that in such a chaotic place anything can go wrong. Elana gave me a lot of confidence, since the moment I spotted her waiting for us to take a candid session before the proposal I felt relieved, she took an amazing set of pics and my girlfriend never realized we were being photographed! then she magically captured every single moment in the proposal, and the set after proposal was truly amazing. I can't think of a single thing that could had been better, Thanks again for everything Elana! Sincerely: Joaquín & Andrea.

    Above & Beyond

    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!

    Alana was a pleasure to work with. My wife and I got to know her on both a personal and professional level and enjoyed all of our time spent together. And the most important part, the pictures came out incredible! She was very easy to work with, as she had a rapport with not only the bridal party and guests, but also the other hired professionals making sure the event went off without a hitch. She was never pushy or insistent, but still got all the shots we wanted and more. I would highly recommend her as a value in the space.

    My album is filled to the brim with amazing photos! I hired Elana for a formal party celebrating my father's 90th birthday. Family & friends flew in from around the world, this occasion meant so much to us. We love the posed individual and group shots, there were so many to choose from. They're special for a variety of reasons, among them that there are pictures of my dad with all his kids, his 19 grandkids and 6 great-grandchildren- it was **really, really important** to get those right on this occasion! But the ones that made my jaw drop were the candids she took of tender, fleeting moments that really capture the love, affection and pure joy of the occasion. We didn't even realize she was taking these, like a ninja. A really sweet ninja. Elana was very professional and a genuine pleasure to work with. Our clan is larger than most and hence, unwieldy. I don't know how she did it, except to say she's clearly a pro. The photos in my album are precious and irreplaceable, we can't thank her enough and we will definitely hire her for my son's Bar Mitzvah.

    Elana was highly recommended to us by friends and she did not disappoint! She truly captured the excitement of our daughter's Bat Mitzvah, was always professional and easy to work with. We cannot believe how amazing all of the pictures came out and we would definitely hire her again.

    Elana did an absolute beautiful job! From my first conversation with her to working with her now reviewing out wedding photos she has been the best vendor to work with. We took our engagement photos about a month before our wedding. It gave us a chance to get to know each other and for my Husband and I too get used to being in front of the camera. We had tons of emails back and forth and late night calls to finalize the day of itinerary and each time she reassured me everything was going to workout no matter how many times the plan changed. The second Elana and her husband showed up at my house to start the day they were immediately taking picture and walking around to find the best spots for photos. It was so beautiful that her and her husband have such a great working relationship and truly added more meaning to the day. They captured everything from the day!! My whole family cannot stop looking at the photos and the amazing job they did!! Thank you for making the memory of our special day truly last a lifetime!

    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!

    There are not enough stars or complimentary words to give Elana Goodridge for her ingenious photography skills, her wonderful personality, her responsiveness, her flexibility in working through contracts, her reasonable pricing, her prompt professionalism and for her overall charm. My daughter got married in the NY area recently and all I can say, is THANK GOODNESS I found Elana. I interviewed and researched many photographers for weeks on end because we were so picky and everyone in the family wanted something different in the overall photographs. The photographer is the most important vendor, in my opinion, because the photos are the only thing left after the wedding. The bride wanted a lot of candid photos and someone with creativity and great editing and design skills for all those imaginative, somewhat trendy photos brides like nowadays. My husband wanted traditional wedding photos, such as table shots. Many photographers do not like to do those table shots because that require good organizational skills, patience and are a lot of work, especially at a big wedding. I also wanted someone who was easy to work with, had a good sense of humor and was charming and flexible. Price was also a consideration; many photographers charge outrageous amounts for the albums, alone. There are a lot of moving parts to a wedding and the photographer is really key to helping make the day drama-free and well-organized. No one could have worked harder on the wedding day than Elana (and her assistant). No one could have been more organized, flexible and creative. Words cannot describe her incredible charm, patience and sense of humor. Elana was key to the tremendous success and drama-free flow of the wedding and to the staggering number of wonderful photographs we now have to cherish this happy day in our family's life. Everyone at the wedding commented on how Elana was "on another level" with the combo of creative, candid and traditional shots. We just LOVE Elana Goodridge!

    Elana was terrific in photographing our twins' B'nai Mitzvah. She was patient, flexible, and was able to capture so much of the day for us. We felt comfortable with her and she was unobtrusive, which was very important to us. The photos she took are great. Since the day itself seemed to fly by, I'm so glad we have these photos to keep forever.
