    Friendly, lots of different shots without being in the way

    Eleonora was prompt and professional. She was the not obtrusive and made everyone feel part of the group. I saw her everywhere yet she was very discreet and stayed "out of the way". I could tell she was getting a lot of angles and perspectives without being in everyone's space.

    Eleonora is the best!

    Our wedding happened just as the country was learning about Coviod19. We just made it before everything shut down. I am so glad we had Eleonora top document our special day, now made more special that we got lucky with timing. The images are beyond incredible and we will cherish them for a lifetime.

    Timeless elegant and unforgettable photos

    Eleanora captured our wedding seamlessly giving us beautiful images that made us feel really special and made the ceremony pop. We were a unique situation, as we had our wedding happen during the COVID. Eleanora was beyond respectful and allowed this intimate gathering to be one that was really focused on our love and not a pandemic happening around us. The images we got are ones that told the story of our adoration for each other, photos we will cherish for a lifetime and they would not be anything without Eleanora special touch and gift of photography.

    Above & Beyond

    Eleonora is not only professional and punctual, but also extremely talented. My wedding photos ended up exceeding my expectations, and I enjoyed how she shared them with us through her password-protected website. She was easy to work with and handled everything seamlessly on the wedding day. choosing her as our photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made for the wedding. Thanks for making our favorite moments last forever!

    Look No Further!

    From the beautiful, timeless photos to Eleonora's warm, calm, and professional demeanor, I am so delighted with my experience!!! If you are reading reviews to help you decide on a photographer look no further, you will not be disappointed! I am so glad we went with Eleonora instead of someone else. She's easy to work with and really knows how to capture the whole mood/vibe of your day between traditional shots, details, and candids. I'm so impressed and I know we'll always cherish the images. I cannot believe how beautiful the shots are!!! I'm lucky she was available on my wedding date. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

    There's no better photographer

    Eleonora is absolutely spectacular! She showed up with such a calming yet dynamic presence. She and Westley arrived hours earlier than scheduled and after exploring the venue, they created and designed an incredible backdrop using the resources available on the spot. She is creative with clarity, innovative with relevance, gentle with boldness and brilliant with humility. She brought an energetic force of peace amidst the wild & chaotic circumstances that surrounded our wedding. Westley also showed such professionalism and served her vision beautifully as he assisted all of her ideas and captured countless once in a life time moments with a second camera. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS!!! The angles she constructed, the moments she captured, the stories her photos tell and the lighting she used ~ all complete perfection. There's no better photographer.

    Magical photos

    Eleonora and Westley photographed our wedding last month and we are beyond thrilled with our choice. They worked hard the entire time they were there to catch all the most important moments and the pictures are just incredible. They have amazing artistic vision and on top of the stellar quality of their work, they are kind and easy to work with. You won't regret working with them.

    The best decision you will make!

    Eleonora is more then an amazing photographer. She was the calm I needed on my wedding day. When things seem to have been falling apart, her calmness, soothing energy and reassuring tone got me trough the crisis. She also had snacks which were a lifesaver as I had not eaten much. In fact she had s whole bag of essentials like safety pins, bandaids, tape and such in case needed. She truly thought of everything, but most importantly, it was the care towards people that was the shining light and did not go untouched by our friends and family. Stop looking. She is the best decision you will make.

    Eleonora and her assistant Westley were amazing! They took such care and made sure they covered all the bases...a great mix of planned shots, i.e. the dress, the ring, the bouquet etc and all the moments that one really wants documented, as well as many freer, off the cuff shots - shot more journalistic style - capturing private moments and here and there, of the guests and the tone of the event in a way that felt very true to the feel of our particular wedding... So many amazing portraits of friends and family that we will cherish forever! I cannot recommend enough!!

    So amazing!

    I absolutely love my wedding photos. Eleonora even messaged me back herself when I asked if she could re-create some shots that I liked. Excellent communication throughout the the whole process. She did a great job and final photos I received were even better than her portfolio!

    Eleonora was a delight, and absolute wonder to work with. We had a rather specific idea of having a 1920s theme in our wedding, and she was incredible at ensuring our photos had the look and feel we were looking for. She also was amazing at capturing fun, unique moments that weren't cookie-cutter photos you see on every wedding website. At one point, she and her assistant even literally got down on the ground in the middle of our dance floor to get an amazing action shot of everyone bouncing and singing along, and that floor was definitely not the best for laying on at that point in the night! And my favorite photo of the night was this incredible action shot where my husband and I were dancing in the middle of a circle of our friends and family, and she took it from above where he and I are in focus and everyone else is in motion - it's gorgeous and so unique. She has a fantastic eye and isn't afraid to try fun, interesting ways to capture the feeling of the day.

    She was also just so much FUN to work with, and had so many of her own ideas to bring when we had just vague descriptions of what we were looking for. I should also mention we were planning our own wedding from across the country, so when we had questions or weren't able to scout locations for photos, she was able to accommodate and help ensure everywhere we selected would end up with beautiful images. I cannot recommend Eleonora enough. If you are considering working with her, just say YES!

    The Absolute Best

    Eleonora is the absolute best. She has a such an artistic and creative perspective, and has the ability to make everyone feel comfortable and have a fun. She’s a kind and warm person who immediately lights up a space with her presence, I couldn’t have had a better experience. Eleonora goes above and beyond what a wedding photographer does, every photo she took is an exquisite work of art that I will cherish for the rest of my life

    Great experience. Eleanora proved to be an excellent choice for our daughter's wedding photographer. Her pictures were very high-quality. Great composition in both formal and candid shots. She couldn't have been more accommodating. We couldn't have been happier.

    Eleonora is amazing. She is flexible, super hard working, and focused. Her photos of my sister's wedding are just perfect. She captured such beautiful, magical moments from the day and evening. From staging the bride's gown to creating the perfect first meet moment, to the last guests dancing, these photos are gorgeous.

    Eleonora is an extremely gifted photographer and such a kind and radiant person! The pictures she captured of our wedding were beyond gorgeous. When you're searching for the right photographer, you are looking not only for fantastic photos but also good energy that will add to your experience. With Eleonora, you truly get the best of both.

    Eleonora is an artist and will capture every single moment of your wonderful day with sensitivity, beauty and nuance. She and her husband work together as a team and will do whatever it takes to get that perfect shot. My husband and I could not even imagine another photographer documenting our wedding as perfectly as Eleonora did!

    Eleonora is the best! From our initial phone call to the wedding day and beyond, she was fantastic to work with. It’s hard to believe how many amazing photos she was able to capture all while completely following our wedding plan.

    My wife and I got married in California but live in Oregon, so we had to do a lot of our planning remotely. Even over the phone, we immediately clicked with Eleonora’s personality and her philosophy toward wedding photography -- that she wants to be an observer in the moment and not get in the way. She also agreed with and was supportive of our desire to not do “first look” photos before the ceremony. Avoiding the pre-ceremony shots like that can add a lot of stress for a photographer, but she handled it with paramount grace.

    After viewing the shots from our wedding, I can say she and her partner Westley definitely are ninjas! We can’t believe how many great candid shots there are of us and all our guests, no one was left out, and we never felt like the photographers were monopolizing anyone’s time. Our posed shots are really great too, because both Eleonora and Westley have a talent of getting their subjects to enjoy coming out of their shells during poses.

    Looking back, my wife and I are beyond thrilled with the whole experience. Eleonora is a great person and photographer, and she worked very hard for us to come up with the perfect wedding photos, for an extremely fair price -- she really is the full package. Hire her!

    Eleonora is amazing. Seriously – I can’t rave about her enough. When it came to booking a photographer, I left it up to my mom because she’s into photography and is extremely picky. She found Eleonora on the knot, and we contacted her that same day. She was so friendly and personable over the phone, so we knew we had found the right person. We met her at our engagement shoot – and fyi, my husband and I are so awkward in front of the camera, but Eleonora helped us feel more in our element and we became more comfortable as the shoot went on. It was also a great way to get to know her. On your wedding day, your attention gets pulled in a million directions and there's so much going on that you miss out on certain things, but these photos show what everyone was up to from start to finish. Eleonora and Wesley captured every moment, and did so very creatively and beautifully. If I hadn’t seen pictures of me getting into my dress, and all the last minute prep my husband and his groomsmen were doing, I wouldn’t have realized how awesome and comical it was since I was so nervous and anxious in those moments. We had a romantic and elegant vibe to our wedding, and these pictures reflect that. It looks like a fairy tale. We’re just so thrilled and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. But Eleonora doesn’t stop there – she also created our thank you cards, which are amazing. Even in the way she packaged them for shipment, the detail and touches she added for the presentation was beautiful. She is truly passionate about what she does, and I can’t wait to get started on creating a wedding album with her. Thank you, Eleonora!

    I won't sugarcoat it... I am a control freak. I am so nutty that I wouldn't even let the catering people set up the space. I had to do it all myself because I'm THE bridezilla.
    That being said... when Eleonora showed up to shoot my special day she understood me INSTANTLY. She would suggest photo ideas that I would never have DREAMED of but were EXACTLY what I wanted. I didn't have to give her a single direction all day. She worked all night to get the most incredible shots (and even dealt with various family members battling her with their own personal cameras.)
    She was all smiles and SO MUCH fun. Eleonora is a wizard. A WIZARD.
