Elvira is awesome. Her photos are STUNNING. I'm not sure what kind of secret, elven, pixie dust magic is hidden inside her camera, but every photo she gets is pure gold. From start to finish it was an incredibly easy process. She is responsive, gets back to you in a timely manner, accommodating, and efficient. She seems to really love what she does, which made us enjoy the process so much more. Personality-wise, she is calm, cool, and collected, and remains laid back and easy going, even on the big day, which was a welcomed contrast to most of the craziness going on around us. We absolutely love our photos, and everyone we show them to comments on how great our photographer was. We couldn't agree more. Out of all the vendors we worked with, Elvira was by far the best.

Elvira and her team are absolutely wonderful! They are so professional and their work is absolutely stunning! I could not recommend them more! They made us feel so relaxed the whole day and always greeted us with a smile! Could not thank them enough for capturing our wedding day! R

My husband and I eloped in NYC in November and hired Elvira as our photographer. We wanted a very intimate ceremony with only two witnesses, and wanted our photos to be genuine and candid moments from the day. Elvira did just that! We could not be happier with the photos form our special day and our decision to hire a photographer, specifically Elvira. She truly captured all of the emotions throughout the ceremony and was so much fun to work with!

Elvira photographed my City Hall wedding and she was fantastic. She met us at City Hall, took pictures there and then all around downtown Manhattan after the ceremony. We ended at a restaurant where she took pictures of us with our friends for about an hour. She was very easy to work with and had great picture idea. She also works really quickly without compromising quality. The photos came out beautifully. We couldn't have asked for anything more - she captured the day perfectly.

My husband and I loved Elvira! She was warm, professional, and of course took amazing photos we will treasure forever. She was especially great at catching candids that really captured the emotion in the room.

Our wedding photographer was one of the most important vendors to us, and we knew from the second we saw the natural look of the photos on her website that Elvira would be a great fit for us. It sealed the deal when she met up with us for coffee and her personality and curiosity about our relationship totally blew us away! As someone who doesn’t really enjoy having my picture taken, I knew I needed someone easygoing and who wouldn’t take too many posed photos, and that’s exactly what Elvira does. We learned early on at our engagement shoot that Elvira will do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot, and now that our wedding is over we are totally amazed by our final galleries and excited to start creating our album with her! We had a 2-day Indian/American wedding and Elvira’s photos captured the details of each day so beautifully. Our photos are full of rich colors, natural light, and don’t look posed at all. She also captured plenty of candid shots of our guest’s reactions throughout the weekend. Throughout the entire process Elvira has been communicative and an absolute pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend her enough!

I immediately knew I wanted Elvira as our photographer because after scrolling through many others’ galleries, her portfolio actually moved me to tears!!! Elvira was the perfect choice for 1) our intimate NYC wedding (50 guests) and 2) my boudoir session. On both occasions, she was super responsive to any questions/requests we had, professional, good-humored, and all around amazing to work with. For our wedding, I can’t even describe how happy we are with the photos. Her documentary style captured many little moments in an artistic way. Our favorite memory of our wedding day was with Elvira, when we visited various spots in the city and got truly unique and unforgettable portraits. For the boudoir shoot (April 2019), she helped me feel prepared and know what to expect. Although it could have been awkward, she immediately put me at ease and I had so much fun! The H&M artist and location she chose were both perfect, and I was blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out. It was difficult for me to narrow down the final set, but in the end she delivered a gorgeous leather-bound photo book. I couldn’t be happier!

I don't even know where to start. Elvira is the most amazing photographer and we were so lucky to work with her. Not only are her pictures beautiful but as a person she is so genuinely kind. We have only seen a few pictures from our wedding but I cannot wait to see the rest. Her documentary style was exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. We really just wanted someone to capture the pure moments from the day and Elvira did just that and more. If you are looking for a photographer, choose her!!! We could not have chosen a better one.

Elvira was the absolute best to work with! We met her two years before our wedding and she was super responsive and helpful during the entire planning process. We had our wedding at the Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn (a pretty over the top venue decor-wise) but Elvira and her assistant photographer made everything look super cool and classy. They found spots in the venue to shoot in that we wouldn't have even thought of! Such an enjoyable experience. Elvira was an absolute professional and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (note: we're normally very awkward!) and the photos were a true reflection of our love for each other, our family, and friends. Couldn't recommend her more. Thank you for a lifetime of memories.

We are so happy that Elvira was our wedding photographer! She was referred to me by several friends who have worked with her for their own weddings. I knew that we made the right choice fr om Day 1, when I met Elvira for the first time. We had our first chat over coffee, wh ere we got to know each other and discussed things like how I met my husband, what our wedding was going to be like, and the style of photos that we were interested in. The whole process from our first meeting through receiving our edited photos was so smooth and stress-free. She is incredibly professional to work with and pays such attention to detail, all while being very laid back so that you don't have to worry about a thing. Our photos came out absolutely beautiful and we wouldn't have wished for anything more! My family loved Elvira and her photos so much that my sister is also having Elvira photograph her wedding, too. :)
