Travis T. Sent on 04/21/2022Elina is fun, artistic, and flexible
Elina should absolutely be your wedding photographer. She's fun, artistic, and flexible. She has the best "eye" of any photographer we looked at in the Tampa Bay area. She's gives great direction on the day of and made my wife look stunning.
She also is very patient and rescheduled with us through covid delays 3 separate times at no extra charge.
I consider Elina a friend and I will ask her to do our 1 year and baby photography in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️ -

We had our engagement and wedding pictures taken by the talented Elina Levy from @elinarosestudios. The first time we tried to take our engagement pictures it was raining, but instead of canceling, Elina captured some amazing pictures of my now husband and I playing in the rain. Although those pictures turned out to be great, Elina gave us another day to retake the pictures just in case. Both sessions were amazing, she was literally rolling around in the sand and soaking wet with us. She also did an amazing job during our ceremony and reception, capturing all special moments and details for us. She worked with our budget and guided us on what to do and how to pose during our sessions. She is truly amazing and although I’m not planning on having kids yet, I already want her to take my maternity pictures, my kids pictures and my grandkid’s pictures…. that’s how much I love her work! -

Fun and Fabulous!
Elina brought so much energy to our event! My husband and I had a small wedding reception party a few months after our elopement. Elina was able to do a quick styled shoot with us before our event started, and she captured the most amazing shots right before sunset! We were so appreciative of how intentional she was at our event to make sure we got a picture with every one of our guests. She was great at positioning and directing us to get the best angles for the photos. I think our favorite part about working with Elina, other than her sweet personality, was the effort she put forth in the planning process. From several phone conversations to make sure she understood our vision, to scoping out the venue and photo shoot locations beforehand. She knew exactly what to expect and brought her own ideas on what would be best for our photos. Overall great experience! We love our photos and we would love working with Elina again :) -

Kendall and Justin’s perfect day!!
Elina was the most sweetest and beautiful person to work with. I fell in love with her the moment I met her, which was the day of my daughter’s wedding. As a mother who planned her daughters wedding from 18 hours away I couldn’t of been more pleased to work with Elina and her husband. My daughters photos were absolutely perfect!! Thank you Elina Rose for a picture perfect day!!! -

Angela Sent on 01/31/2019Beautiful photos!
I hired Elina when she had a sale for her boudoir shoots and I knew I wanted to surprise my (now) husband with a boudoir book. She was AWESOME and somehow I wasn’t nervous whatsoever the whole shoot. She made me feel super comfortable, was well aware of my insecurities and I had so much fun that I want to do another one! I would have liked for her to be a tad more communicative (communication is literally #1 in my book for vendors) as my photos were about a week late (she had brides with weddings before mine so since I was early, mine got pushed to the end) but she ended up sending me way more photos than is guaranteed in the contract so it definitely made up for it! She was going to print the book for me, but she didn’t get back to me about it, so I ended up printing on my own through Artifact Uprising. The book came out absolutely gorgeous & my husband was completely shocked. I would definitely do another shoot with her again & recommend for any brides who want to feel confident & sexy. -

Elina captured beautiful, raw and sincere photos of myself, my husband, friends and family on our special day
Elina is talented, sweet, professional and captures gorgeous candid moments. I guess the only negatives I experienced was that 1. the majority of my family pictures had an orb from the sun in them, unable to be removed, per Elina. Covering people’s bodies and faces, not just put in the open background where it could have been cropped out. It has made it very difficult for me to fully enjoy or even print these family photos out with this orb that you simply cannot miss in them. 2. I significantly remember other poses / live action photos that were indeed taken but were not included in my wedding photos. But overall with the price that we paid, I am a satisfied customer of hers overall. 100% satisfied would have been all 5 stars but no one is perfect, right? I’ve seen many other memories that Elina has captured (one album which included my little brother’s wedding) and I know she does great work. -

Jesi Sent on 04/29/2022Beautiful photos and great fun to have, but ultimately caused a great deal of stress
Elina was a lovely addition to our wedding day and I’m so glad she was there. She had a fabulous energy and vibe, and she listened to everything I needed and asked for in regards to the shots I wanted. We just go our photos back a few days ago and they’re stunning- really clear and beautiful and colorful.
Unfortunately, I felt I needed to write this review because of the lack of responsiveness after our wedding from Elina, which means I cannot ultimately recommend her., especially if you are a bride who values this. I have even received a message from another bride going through the same thing currently asking for advice. Our photos were weeks late (according to the date ELINA said they would be ready, not my own expectations), but instead of Elina reaching out and simply letting us know the situation, she not only didn’t contact us, and ignored us when we contacted her. She was unreachable for weeks. This may not seem like a long time in hindsight, but for a bride who begins to think the worse every day that possibly pictures are missing or lost, it felt like forever! When she finally sent the pictures, half were missing. And of course, the experience of finally sitting down and going through my wedding pictures with my husband was now tainted with huge anxiety- where were the other pictures and why wouldn’t she address it when she sent them? The gallery didn’t even come with a message in the email. My husband immediately reached out, and she shared that the outside editing company was sending them soon. It wouldn’t have been a big deal. But again,, it begs the question, why not proactively tell us that after the stress you know we‘be already experienced? The whole situation felt bizarre and hurtful.
I know photographers are busy and humans just like us. But in a time of texts, calls, Instagram, email etc, there is no excuse, in my opinion, to not shoot a quick message and say “hey guys! Just to let you know the photos will be two more weeks, I’m really making them perfect for you thanks for your patience”, rather than ignoring us for almost a month and only sending half of the pictures when the gallery is up. I am sad to not write a fully glowing review, which is what I was expecting to do! -

Terrible quality / unprofessional / horrible photos delivered
We had an awful experience with Elina.
Her personality was great though her work was terrible. Elina was prompt on time and communication up until the delivery of the photos where she then had excuses of being sick. I had to remind her that the contract delivery date was in effect and she then turned nasty demanding more money (screenshot attached).
We did not receive 1 photo of me (the bride) in my full dress or a solo shot of my husband though well over 50 photos were taken of these images. The importance of these images were communicated in writing to Elina as we expressed we cared more about the intimate photos then “party”.
Elina decided to deliver terrible photos of our guests stuffing their face with food rather then the meaningful photos of the bride/groom. How could you not deliver 1 photo of the bride in her dress when we spent over 10 minutes trying to get a beautiful shot with the veil!? My husband was extremely disappointed that he has no photos of himself to share from this day.
Not only did she lack on the photos she delivered but the quality was poor. The images looked washed out and need additional editing.
We were so hurt by this experience since she seemed to have a kind personality that was passionate about her work. We reached out to Elina and expressed this immediately, she did not care and instead demanded a tip for her work.
How incredibly unprofessional and entitled.
Since posting this review on Facebook Elina blocked me and sent hateful texts. - screenshots attached.
I would never recommend her to anyone. -
