Candid & artful photos 

Based in Oregon, the pnw, and beyond

Welcome to my corner of the interwebs! 

You're probably here 'cause the idea of big weddings or stiff photoshoots stresses you out. Or you know you deserve to plan your wedding or elopement however feels right to you. Or it's been ages (if ever) since you and your partner had photos taken.
If so I already love where your head's at, and I might just be the perfect photographer for you!

Taking candid, artful, landscape filled photos for people like you absolutely lights my soul on fire! And I love supporting and cheering on couples who decide to get married how they want, where they want, in a way that's authentic to them! 

If that sounds like your vibe, AMAZING. Let's talk more about your dream photos!

Get to Know me

lighthearted, small groupers, outdoorsy, and  intentional

I honestly think we're in a new era of what getting married looks like. An era where eloping in the mountains means freedom, expression, and moving away from performance. And small scale weddings mean simplicity, presence, and intentionality with the people in your corner. 

I'm the kind of photographer for people like you—who chase how a photo makes you feel rather than how "pinterest worthy" it is! The kind of photos that only become more precious and irreplaceable over time. Who cares if a photo is slightly crooked, or blurry, or not posed to perfection. What matters most is the memory it holds!

“She made us feel completely at ease, like we could just be ourselves, and it shows in every single photo. I’ll treasure these 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫. If you're looking for someone who captures emotion, connection, and beauty all in one frame—𝐬𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞.”

"I am so grateful we were able to work with Elena! Working with Elena was so easy and just delightful! She is SO SO KIND and helpful throughout the whole process. She provided reassurance and encouragement and sent helpful guides and questionnaires to make sure we were always on the same page. We will treasure forever having such lovely memories captured; it really is priceless." 

Steph & Johnny

“Hiring a photographer was my biggest stress for our wedding, but the moment we found her we knew we were in good hands. It’s not just the quality of her work, but who she is as a person too. She felt like a friend, someone we could trust with the most important day of our lives.”

ana & joey

"We absolutely loved our experience with Elena. She made us so comfortable during our engagement shoot, even though it was our first time meeting her. She was so friendly and knew exactly how to direct us to capture such perfect moments!"
