Our Story
My name is Elvira (eh l - v ee - r ah) and I love photographing people in love.
I love weddings that focus on LOVE and CONNECTIONS. I thrive on capturing THE FEELING of your day and I want to catch all the small in-between moments as much as photographing the grand events of your wedding day. My style is very much photojournalistic/documentary with some epic portraits of you two thrown into the mix. I don't follow Pinterest boards! I am inspired by patterns, the unconventional, light, YOU and the unexpected that comes with all wedding days. To sum it up, I am pretty stoked to do what I do and meet people like you who let me unleash my creativity and trust me to capture REAL LOVE STORIES artfully and with style!

Is October the best time to have a wedding in the Hudson Valley? This sweet ceremony makes a strong case for it.

A wedding postponement is like... trying to teach a group of friends a TikTok dance and coordinate a video with uploading over Zoom. 😆
1️⃣ First, you have to work with the venue to find a new date everyone is comfortable with.
2️⃣ Next, you confirm the rest of your vendor team is available on the new date.
3️⃣ Then, you have to negotiate postponement terms with each vendor and sign new contracts or amendments.
4️⃣ And you can't forget about your guests! Between all of those tasks, you have to notify guests, update your wedding website and prepare to mail or email out a new save the date!
Showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties all have to be rescheduled or replanned to be safe.
It's crazy and stressful and keeps you busy from taking a moment to grieve your original wedding plan. We have now completed or started the postponement process with all of our 2020 couples and we can't express how resilient, brave and selfless they have all been through this extremely tough process.
We feel so grateful and lucky to work with such wonderful couples (and very grateful we are doing the postponement dance instead of a Tik Tok dance), and we can't wait to make your wedding weekends amazing in 2021 and 2022!

We appreciate our clients dearly, but we also appreciate our network of vendors immensely as well! 💕
Without them, we wouldn’t be able create the perfect weddings for our couples! As much as the outbreak has affected our couples, we know that it has affected our vendors, too! So, we wanted to give a shout out to our network during this rough time, and let them know that we appreciate them!
