LOVE letters

“Working with Elena was an AMAZING experience for our wedding. She was really organized -- but was also very calm and made everyone feel relaxed. I really connected with her, which was so important because a photographer is with you through one of the biggest days of your life. I would highly recommend her!”

My wife and I had the opportunity to work with Elena and we can't say enough about her professionalism and how she exceeded our expectations. Needless to say, the photos came out amazing. She captured moments in ways that bring my wife and I right back to that special day, and her photography vividly expresses all the emotion and wedding love we felt.

Elena!!! These are absolutelyincredible. We love them so so much and can't thank you enough!!!!

After researching wedding photographers for a while, I came across Elena Wolfe. From the moment, I saw her work, I was drawn to her organic, natural photos. She guided us through everything... I would recommend her to every bride! She is the best!!!

She made me feel at ease, which is what every couple needs leading up to their wedding day!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE feelings you're left remembering

When the years pass and memories get blurry, you’ll have beautiful photos to reminisce about the amazing life you made together.

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

I would describe my style as Artful Storytelling Photography. Portraits are natural I work quietly to capture authentic candid moments. My photography is
organic and best described as soft, luminous and airy.

With an artful and editorial approach, I use natural light and the beauty around us to create images that evoke emotion and tell a beautiful story. I take a really personal approach to each wedding and document the unique personalities and emotions that are happening thought the day.

DO YOU USE FILM OR DIGITAL AND WHAT CAMERAS DO YOU USE?

I use both film and digital and really think that each has unique qualities.
I love my current camera lineup! I have backup equipment that is always nearby. My current lineup includes:
Fuji GFX 100S & 50S II

Fuji X100v
Sony a9ll’s
Contax 645’S
Rolleiflex 2.8f

DO YOU SHOOT WITH A SECOND SHOOTER OR ALONE?

Both! Although I love telling your wedding story fully myself and always work with an assistant, some days and schedules will require a second photographer. Second shooters are photographers that have shot with me for a few years, have a similar shooting style and awesome personality! We will split bride and groom prep and cover different parts of your day to give you even coverage of your complete wedding day.

HOW DO WE GET OUR PICTURES?

High resolution images are delivered electronically though a private online gallery. You can download as many times as you like and I always recommend saving a backup and backing up all of your pictures every few years.

WHAT IS THE ONLINE GALLERY AND HOW CAN WE VIEW IT?

The online gallery is a special way to store, view and share your images from your computer or phone. The gallery is password protected which allows you to share it with select family and friends. You can also select images for your album or order professional prints. You will receive the link to the gallery about six to twelve weeks following your wedding, and sometimes sooner.

HOW MANY IMAGES CAN WE EXPECT?

A typical online gallery will contain 600-1000 final edited images. The number fluctuates depending on the amount of coverage, if there is a second photographer, and if the couple plans to see each other before the ceremony making time for more photos.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

I am located in Katonah, NY in the heart of Westchester and the Hudson Valley. I photograph weddings throughout the Westchester County & the Hudson Valley,
the Tristate, as well as NYC, Catskills, the Berkshires, New England, Connecticut, and Vermont.

HOW DO WE BOOK YOU AND CAN YOU HOLD OUR DATE?

Please send me a email and we can set up a time to speak on the phone or meet in person/skype.

Yes, but only with a signed contract and a deposit.
