I'm Lena. Your wedding day memories connoisseur, specializing in all things candid, posed, and the ultimate sappy but oh-so exhilarating love stories.
Before all this, I was just a traveler looking for meaning in life. Ok, ok, that might be a bit dramatic. I picked up a camera for the first time in high school, but I didn't make much of it until about 3 years later after I had my first baby (who is NINE now, to give my story some historical reference). I started my business in 2014 working with newborns and families, but my true heart and soul always pointed me to the love stories - weddings, elopements, engagements. After my first wedding I knew it was where I belonged - so here I am, waiting to hear YOUR love story, and equally as thrilled (and quite frankly, honored) to be a part of it. So what are we waiting for?
I'm Lena
am so freaking excited you're here! By the end of this process, I'm pretty sure we're going to be besties. But first, let me introduce myself a little better.

breathtaking • moments • captured
Let's create magic, together. I don't expect you to know what you're doing - that's what I'm here for. I've spent the last 7+ years perfecting posing, creating movement between people, and taking that love you have and making it feel like the most exciting, exhilarating thing you've ever experienced and translating that into the content I deliver to you.
It's an investment, but it's more than that, it's an experience. Experiences are always better with people you like, right? Honorary BFF's is what's on the menu. Show me that dress, girl! Call me with venue questions. Let's build that timeline together. Complaints about your sister? I'm here for it. And like I said, by the end of it, you'll have some incredible content to show off, and a new friend to boot.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO SHOW-OFF YOUR LOVE STORY, CREATE SOME NEW MEMORIES, AND LOOK GOOD DOING IT - YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

Common FAQs
Q: How long have you been a photographer?
A: I first picked up a camera right after my son was born in 2014. I immediately fell in love with all things artsy - and eventually the idea of motion picture i.e. videography came around in 2017. I built my team that year, and we all have this burning passion and desire to create - even off the clock.
Q: How many weddings have you photographed?
A: I've photographed over 150 weddings as the lead photographer/videographer , and I've had over 300 weddings as a second photographer or associate. And since there's only 52 weekends in a year, my weekends have been basically filled with love stories and late-night celebrations ever since I became a photographer.
Q: Do I need a second photographer?
A: Honestly, it comes down to a budget question. Unlimited budget - then sure, you'll get more beautiful photos. Personally, I say no --- unless you have more than 200 guests AND you want specific focus on them and/or you want the exact same moment captured from two different angles OR if you have a really large wedding venue that would be difficult to move between two areas quickly. Otherwise, I have personally photographed more than 200 weddings completely solo and every single couple I have ever worked with has been 100% happy.
Q: Do I need an engagement session?
A: That totally depends on your needs. You can use the photos for your save-the-dates, invitations, website registries, guest books, framed prints for your guest table, bar, and your house... and of course Facebook & Instagram! Plus, it's a way for you to get a little practice in front of the camera before your big day and it gives us an opportunity to get to know each other. :) Personally, I highly recommend it. And heck, it's also a really great way to add to your experience as an engaged couple. Make the most of it!
Q: What kind of equipment do you use?
A: This might start getting a bit technical, but I personally use a Sony A7IV and A7SIII. Both are literally on me at all times throughout your wedding day so I never have to worry about changing lenses, switching memory cards, or changing batteries. Every moment matters - and this is where those years of experience really kicks in.
Q: Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, guest books, etc?
A: Totally! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those. That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence that they are going to look amazing on your walls and in your fine art heirloom albums. And all of this is done & ordered right through your online gallery!
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes, I do! Traditional payments are $1000 due at the time of booking (within a week) and the final payment is due 30 days prior to your wedding day. But, if you wanted to do the payment plan, I can stretch it into equal 1/3's or 1/4's if that works best for you. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will make it happen. It's that easy.
Q: what happens if you aren't able to make it to our big day?
In the super unlikely event that I am too ill, injured, or there's some other emergency, either I or my team have a list of colleagues that we can call on to replace me that have similar styles of photography & editing. You're in good hands. I promise.
Q: How do I book you for my wedding day?
A: Love that question the most! To book me for your special day, simply let me know what you want included in your custom collection: 1) Number of hours of coverage, 2) Engagement session (optional), 3) Second photographer or none (optional), and 4) What payment plan option works best for you.
