Elvira was such a joy to work with! Her calm, level-headed presence made everything feel so much easier on the day of and she perfectly captured the whole event. Her photos are so full of life and love and energy that I feel like I'm back in the wedding every time I look through them. She was totally unobtrusive but caught every moment in perfect, jubilant detail. The photos are crisp and saturated with color. We will treasure them forever.

Elvira was beyond anything we had hoped for in a photographer to capture our special day. Heading over to New Yew York to elope with my (now) husband... Elvira not only captured us but the beautiful city that surrounded. The love & energy was evident in each and every image. Being someone who hates having her photo taken and struggles to maintain a 'semi normal' expression when knowing there is a camera around - Elvira was amazing and made me feel so relaxed and at ease - it was the 'unsuspecting' moments that we treasure most. We could not recommend Elvira highly enough... she is fabulous!

Elvira was great from the first email until the job delivery. She has been very professional in understanding what kind of results we were aiming at and during the wedding day, she knew exactly what to do and we didn't have to think about that aspect. For us, the wedding photographs were the most important item from our wedding to do list and Elvira went above our expectations. I strongly recommend her to all brides and grooms looking for a photographer.

Elvira is not just a fantastic photographer but also a lovely person, which is beyond important when you share such intimate moment like your wedding day. We eloped in the City Hall this September and couldn’t imagine a better “partner in crime” than Elvira! She was a relaxed artistic photographer with a great sense of humor, who we t above and beyond to get that perfectly unique shot (with a twisted ankle as it turned out later!)! I can't recommend Elvira highly enough! She is the person you need behind the lens on your wedding day!

Elvira is simply amazing! She is laid back, easy to work with, responsible, and extremely talented with a great artistic eye. We worked with her for our engagement photos and our wedding day, and were in love with the results. I got so many compliments that my photos were some of the best wedding photos they had ever seen. Her documentary style is the style you need for your wedding, it's authentic but still dreamy and romantic. Book her!

Elvira's photo's are absolutely fantastic, which is obvious when you look through her work. What might not be obvious is her blend of being highly organized but equally laid back which makes taking photos with her an absolute pleasure. She is kind and considerate and works fantastically with outdoor spaces and natural light. I think what drew us to her specifically were the candid photos she gets of the day and family and friends, which make for beautiful and completely natural snapshots of the day. Elvira took so many beautiful photos but didn't impose on our guests or the day at all. Also, our engagement photos were brilliant. Could not recommend her highly enough.

We are so thankful we hired Elvira to photograph our wedding in Brooklyn this past August! She was so great to work with throughout the whole process. She is incredibly professional, always responsive and on time, but is also flexible and laid back, and was able to roll with the punches when plans changed. When we got our photos back, we were amazed! Elvira really captured the excitement and emotions of our special day! We highly recommend Elvira!
