Elena Skaya Photography and Cinema

photographer. I know a lot of people only want photos at the wedding but there’s a lot going on and we felt like we missed the creativity that you can get in the studio! I highly recommend Elana Skaya Photography and Cinema for any media needs! She says what she’s going to do then she does it! Thank you so much for creating such beautiful photos and memories for my beautiful bride and I. You guys rock!

ver! I also participated in her bridal special for a bridal boudoir photoshoot. (I was nervous at first) but I had so much fun doing it! Will likely hire them in the future for other events

photographer and videographer. We are blown away with the photos and video!! We would recommend Elena and Nik for photography and videography to anyone that asks!

nted. The video they produced was amazing. I highly suggest getting their video service. All night long, our guests kept coming up saying they are the best wedding photographer and videographers they'd ever seen, and we have to agree! We 100% recommend Elena and Nick !!!!

s the importance of having them for your engagement shoot as it is a great way to get comfortable posing and being in front of the camera prior to your wedding day. Needless to say, my wife and I were blown away by their work. We look forward to working with them in the future for other photo sessions. Thank you Elena and Nik for capturing the big moments on a very important day!

they tell you all the poses to do and make it very fun and comfortable. Elena also did our engagement photos and I did a boudoir shoot with her as well. We were so pleased with all of our photos that will last a lifetime! We are looking forward to more shoots with Elena and Nik in the future!

ave all been absolutely beautiful! We would highly recommend them to anyone!

. Photography/Videography was the biggest expense of my wedding, and though it may seem like a small fortune, it's not one you want to cut corners on. The flowers will be withered away, your dress stored, never to be worn again, the food will be gone & no one will even remember what was served, & lets be honest, that piece of cake you have in your freezer is going to taste like cardboard on your first anniversary. The photos and videos will last a lifetime. They will capture just how stunning you look in that dress & how perfectly your bouquet coordinates, how beautiful your cake display was & how all of the decor you spent countless hours deciding on came together. Having the video you will be able to watch all of your "first looks" over and over again. You will be able to see the look on your grooms face the moment he sees you walking down the aisle. For this, you cannot put a price tag on.

was immediately drawn to the artistry of Elena's photos and her ability to capture these beautiful moments between couples through unique perspectives. We were not originally thinking of hiring a videographer, but after viewing Nik's wedding films, I quickly realized this was an essential addition. We could not be happier with our choice! From our very first interview, Nik and Elena made us feel incredibly comfortable. We decided to do a bridal portrait session one month prior to the wedding, since multiple friends had recommended this. I'm so glad we decided to do this! I also did a hair and makeup trial that day, and it was a great way to make sure I was going to feel comfortable the day of the weeding and start to feel really comfortable in front of the camera. The day was an absolute blast!! I felt like a model, and Elena's cues for the shots helped me feel more comfortable in front of the camera. When it came to the wedding day, we were absolutely blown away by the level of care and professionalism. From start to finish, we always felt that they were capturing every important moment, but it never felt distracting. All the cues they gave us for arranging our group shots with family helped us feel natural and not like we were posing for the camera. They were able to send us a teaser photo and video very quickly, which was amazing as we were able to share with friends and family so soon after the wedding! I cried tears of joy when I watched the teaser video and looked through those first photos. I felt like I was reliving the magic of the day all over again. Everyone always said the day goes by so fast, and it's absolutely true! We are so so glad that we were able to have the magic of that day captured and to be able to go back and relive those wonderful moments time and again. Planning a Covid wedding was one of the most challenging experiences I've faced so far. But one thing that was never a challenge was working with Nik and Elena. We knew the weather would be touch and go that day, and sure enough we did get rain for our planned beach wedding. The rain broke just long enough for is to run out to the beach for our couples portraits, which was hands down our favorite moment of the day. We were so impressed at the ease at which Nik and Elena were able to switch gears from capturing an intimate candlelight indoor ceremony to family portraits under the covered porch, to action shots of running on the beach in a moments notice when the rain cleared just just long enough. I can say enough good things about this talented and genuine couple and how happy we are with our choice!

session. My fiancé and I had not really been professionally photographed, so we were a little nervous about what to do, but Elena and Nik made us feel comfortable and gave us direction. We had a great time shooting with them, and when I received our full gallery, I was blown away! Elena made us two goofballs look elegant and classy, while still capturing our personalities. I’m in love with our photos! We really loved working with them and highly recommend them!

t it as I was! They did a day-of surprise slide show at the end of our reception with about 15 photos which made everyone ball their eyes out. They also posted over 20 fully edited breathtaking photos in less than 32 hours. Elena and Nik were so genuine, calming, and professional. You can’t ask for 2 better people to take along with you on your wedding journey. From the beginning of the 14 month planning process until well after the wedding was over, these 2 made us feel like we were family. Never once did we feel like we were a bother, even with our hundreds of questions that we probably asked more than once!!! Thank you Elena and Nik. You guys helped make our dream come true.

tc. All of our photos were edited and sent back to us in a timely manner, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out! We will use her as our photographer for all of our life milestones! She's amazing!

photographer and that photographer, who will remain unnamed, backed out 90 days before my wedding. we were already on a short timeline (5 month engagement). So I was in a panic. Also, I'm the worst bride ever and I have a super busy job and no wedding planner and I had no idea what to ask, look for, etc. She met me on a short turnaround and was very responsive throughout the process. She was professional & patient. Every questions she asked of me, my answer was: "um, I don't know." and she was very patient and professional and told me how she ran things. I knew she was perfect because she would guide me through the day. Wedding Day: The weather was gross and the church did not allow flash photography but My photos are perfect. Also I was running late to the ceremony and stressed out but she told me to wait and take some bridals...I think I was a bit annoyed and stressed but it was worth it. She said something to the effect of "they can't start without you" and took some beautiful photos of me on a Colonial Couch....it was stunning. My husband absolutely HATES taking photos but she captured some amazing VERY NATURAL shots of the two of us...truly talented.. I will absolutely be recommending Elena and calling her for any future life events. THANK YOU!

ue. We are extremely pleased with the final results and can't wait to work with them again in the future! Highly recommended!!!👍🏻

ictures were exactly what we wanted. We loved taking pictures with them and they made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and made sure to capture all of the moments of our day. They go above and beyond for their clients and are always open to new ideas. I would recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

many angles, in a very short amount of time. I am so happy with the way they turned out, one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, for sure!

tures I pick they made an amazing book! I have and will always recommend Elena Skaya Photography to anyone I know getting married, that just got engaged, or even for family pictures. These guys were just overall great!

s, even when they were overseas for their wedding and honeymoon! I would HIGHLY recommend them for your upcoming wedding!

f my shoulders because their level of expertise put my mind at rest. I totally handed over some ideas and that was it. They rolled out my vision in to a magical creative master piece with no effort. Good god they were a blessing. Do yourself a favor and book thesr two. It will be the best money you spend during wedding. Promise!
