Meet Your NYC Wedding Storyteller
Hey, I’m Elena. I’m here to capture how your love feels.
I believe the most powerful stories aren't told in front of a studio backdrop - they happen in the middle of a crowded street, in a quiet corner of Central Park, or during a sunset toast on a SoHo rooftop.
I specialize in intimate weddings and engagements because I value genuine connection. My approach is simple: I’m your friend with a camera, guiding you through the city while you focus on each other.
No stiff posing. No forced smiles. Just honest, cinematic frames that turn your fleeting moments into a lifelong legacy.

Moments captured, memories cherished
Planning an engagement in NYC shouldn't feel like a chore. I’m here to be your local guide and visual storyteller. Forget the 'tourist' shots - let’s find the hidden gems that match your vibe. My approach is all about creating a comfortable space where you can be yourselves. You bring the love, I’ll bring the camera and the best location scouting in the city.
Let's create something timeless.
Your engagement session is a rehearsal for 'I Do' and a celebration of 'Right Now.' We’ll wander through your favorite neighborhoods, grab a coffee, and chase the golden hour light between the skyscrapers. It’s about getting comfortable in front of the lens while creating stylish, effortless imagery for your Save the Dates.
More than just a photoshoot.

Intimate Weddings in NYC
A wedding is legendary when it’s true to who you are. I specialize in small NYC weddings where the city becomes your gallery and every moment stays real. My lens stays out of your way, catching the fleeting, unscripted emotions as you navigate your wedding day. Whether we’re chasing the light on a Brooklyn Bridge park or finding a secret corner in the West Village, we’ll create a visual story that looks like a movie and feels like home.
Intimate New York City weddings. Big City. Zero stress.
Planning your engagement & intimate wedding in the world’s busiest city can feel overwhelming. I’m here to make it effortless. Beyond photography, I act as your local guide - helping you time your ceremony for the best light, scouting quiet locations away from the crowds, and keeping the vibe relaxed.
I capture the grand scale of New York alongside the small, quiet details of your love. You bring the emotion; I’ll bring the vision.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FOR YOUR NYC WEDDING
- Where are you located? I live and work in New York City. As an NYC wedding photographer, I find endless inspiration in the city's unique energy and architecture, using its iconic streets as a beautiful backdrop for your story.
- How do we reserve our date? It’s very simple. To secure your wedding date, a 30% retainer and a signed contract are required. Once that’s done, the date is officially yours!
- How would you describe your style? Your images will be "clean" and "classic." I take a blended approach, fusing documentary storytelling with an editorial aesthetic. You’ll see real moments and raw emotions, always presented in a beautiful, artistic, and timeless way.
- Do you charge travel fees within NYC? No, travel within the five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island) is included in all packages.
- What size weddings do you typically photograph in New York City? I specialize in intimate and mid-sized celebrations—from private elopements and City Hall ceremonies to intimate weddings with around 50 guests. This allows me to focus on the unique details and the authentic, close-knit atmosphere of your day.
- How are the photos delivered? Photos are delivered through a private, password-protected online gallery. It allows for easy high-resolution downloads and is perfectly designed for sharing your story with friends and family.
- Do you need a shot list? A list for formal family combinations is very helpful. Otherwise, my top priority is capturing your story as it naturally unfolds. While I prefer to stay focused on authentic moments rather than a checklist, I am always open to any specific creative ideas you might have!
- Do you work with planners or coordinators to build the photo timeline? Of course! In New York City, logistics matter more than anywhere else. I love being involved in the timeline creation process to ensure everything is accounted for, from the best light to the city's unique transit flow.
