Do you crave authentic, natural shots that truly capture your unique story and the raw emotions of your wedding or elopement?
If you're looking for a photographer who values your comfort, creativity, and the beauty of spontaneous interactions, I see you.
You want a relaxed experience where you can be yourself without feeling the pressure to perform for the camera.
You desire an artistic, editorial flair combined with the narrative depth of documentary photography to tell the full, unfiltered story of your day.
You need a photographer who is unobtrusive yet attentive, capturing the genuine essence of your celebration.
If this resonates with you, let's create something truly special together.
Hi there, I'm Elysa
I've always been drawn to anything creative, and photography has been my outlet since I was young. It’s my craft, and I take it seriously. I draw inspiration mostly from every day life - in people’s stories, travel, books, movies, sometimes just wandering down a city street. There is so much beauty in ordinary moments if you take time to observe it - I truly believe that my observational nature and artistic eye is one of the greatest strengths I will bring to your wedding day. I feel so much joy when capturing the subtle details and fleeting moments - loving glances shared throughout the day, tears of joy during significant moments, and stolen kisses.
My photography style is photojournalistic
– catching the candid moments as they happened, while adding prompts and posing as it’s needed. Booking me will ensure you end up with a gallery of photos that document exactly how the magic happened the day of your wedding or elopement.

I was amazed by Elysa's impeccable work! The gallery she sent me was truly outstanding. Our elopement was quite stressful, but she managed to turn it into an amazing experience. I strongly believe that people who are created to create, do what they do best. I look forward to working with her again in the future and wish her all the best, as she is truly one of the best!

For a normal package, I will come solo to shoot your big day. If you book a 10-hour wedding package, I require a second shooter to assist me. While not required otherwise, I highly suggest booking a second photographer if you are planning on having over 150 guests. That way you’ll get every angle of your special day and we won’t miss the emotions around your wedding event. It’s especially important if your partner is getting ready at a second location.
