01/ my vision

elegant documentary Wedding Photography for Couples Who Want to Be themself & fully present

I photograph weddings around the world with a documentary eye and an editorial sensibility. From the atmosphere of an extraordinary setting to the people, gestures and unexpected moments that make your celebration yours, I create photographs that bring you back to how it all felt.
Candid, effortless & artistic imagery for refined celebrations in Italy, france & worldwide

I've always been curious about people and the way they connect with each other.
Photography simply gave me a reason to keep observing.
Preserving meaningful moments with elegance and intention.

a Wedding that reflects who you truly are

I want the people I photograph to feel comfortable enough to fully enjoy the wedding day and forget that a camera is even there
My couples prefer to stay themselves. They value genuine moments as much as beautiful imagery & aesthetic details

03/ about me

I work with discretion and a deep respect for what matters most.

I've always been interested in people and the relationships between them. When I look at a wedding, I notice the atmosphere, the emotions, and the way people interact with each other. I notice the quiet moments between all the big ones. A reassuring touch before the ceremony. A proud look from a parent. Friends laughing together during dinner.

Of course I appreciate beautiful design and thoughtful details. I love architecture, fashion, flowers, and all the elements that make a celebration feel unique. But what interests me most has always been the people.

"Elena is a phenomenal photographer and was such a pleasure to work with for both our engagement and wedding photos. She captured every special moment in a classic, romantic and timeless way. My family and friends have commented that her work is ‘magazine-worthy’. Thank you!!! Elena, it’s hard to put this all into words !!! You are so amazing and you can make anyone look like a movie star, seriously!! I hope our paths cross again sometime, you deserve all the recognition and success!"

memories that
feel alive

The flowers will fade. The music will end. But the people who were there and the way it all felt — those are the things that stay. Those are the things I photograph.
