Eleonora Barna Photography

ppen during the COVID. Eleanora was beyond respectful and allowed this intimate gathering to be one that was really focused on our love and not a pandemic happening around us. The images we got are ones that told the story of our adoration for each other, photos we will cherish for a lifetime and they would not be anything without Eleanora special touch and gift of photography.

. I could tell she was getting a lot of angles and perspectives without being in everyone's space.

ey created and designed an incredible backdrop using the resources available on the spot. She is creative with clarity, innovative with relevance, gentle with boldness and brilliant with humility. She brought an energetic force of peace amidst the wild & chaotic circumstances that surrounded our wedding. Westley also showed such professionalism and served her vision beautifully as he assisted all of her ideas and captured countless once in a life time moments with a second camera. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS!!! The angles she constructed, the moments she captured, the stories her photos tell and the lighting she used ~ all complete perfection. There's no better photographer.

photographer look no further, you will not be disappointed! I am so glad we went with Eleonora instead of someone else. She's easy to work with and really knows how to capture the whole mood/vibe of your day between traditional shots, details, and candids. I'm so impressed and I know we'll always cherish the images. I cannot believe how beautiful the shots are!!! I'm lucky she was available on my wedding date. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

her password-protected website. She was easy to work with and handled everything seamlessly on the wedding day. choosing her as our photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made for the wedding. Thanks for making our favorite moments last forever!

whole process. She did a great job and final photos I received were even better than her portfolio!

ZING! Thank you for doing such a fantastic job of capturing our wedding day!

on who immediately lights up a space with her presence, I couldn’t have had a better experience. Eleonora goes above and beyond what a wedding photographer does, every photo she took is an exquisite work of art that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

t above and beyond, picking out little details from our wedding day and making them shine, and capturing intimate moments that I had no idea even existed until I saw them in hindsight. She made the best of the weather, the lighting, the dynamics, and all else to give us some really beautiful shots. We have an incredible wedding album thanks to her hard work and dedication.

t moments and the pictures are just incredible. They have amazing artistic vision and on top of the stellar quality of their work, they are kind and easy to work with. You won't regret working with them.

g tone got me trough the crisis. She also had snacks which were a lifesaver as I had not eaten much. In fact she had s whole bag of essentials like safety pins, bandaids, tape and such in case needed. She truly thought of everything, but most importantly, it was the care towards people that was the shining light and did not go untouched by our friends and family. Stop looking. She is the best decision you will make.

tiful scenarios. I would unreservedly recommend them for anybodies wedding photography needs! They captured the totality our wedding day with clarity, creativity and an impeccable aesthetic. Two big thumbs up!

al. She has such an eye for what really matters and her sweet and generous personality are so wonderful to work with. I am beyond grateful to have the photo memories of my wedding day to look back on forever.

etc and all the moments that one really wants documented, as well as many freer, off the cuff shots - shot more journalistic style - capturing private moments and here and there, of the guests and the tone of the event in a way that felt very true to the feel of our particular wedding... So many amazing portraits of friends and family that we will cherish forever! I cannot recommend enough!!

rts professional and artistic. We stumbled upon her site, and knew that we had to have her there for our wedding. The very first time we met, we could sense that this was a perfect match. She is patient, kind, gentle, has an incredible eye, and was able to understand our vision immediately. We knew that we wanted some posed photos with our wedding party and family, but we didn't want them to be typical. So, Eleonora came up with some truly remarkable poses for us and the end result was even better that what e had originally asked for. When we look back on our photos, it's so easy to relive the entire evening since she is so good at telling a story with her images. Do yourself a favor and hire this extremely reasonable, extremely kind artist to capture your special day. We are so happy and lucky to have found her. You will be, too.

s are breathtaking and I can't wait to share all of them with the rest of my friends and family!

showed has been very impressed, and they love the photos. Not only are the photos amazing, Eleonora is so fun, sweet, and easy to work with! My mom is a wedding planner, and I used to help her with quite a few weddings, so I have interacted with quite a few photographers, and Eleonora is definitely in the top. I know a lot of photographers only shoot weddings because it is a way to make money and it's always needed, but Eleonora really seems to enjoy it, and that definitely shows through in the process and the end product. We absolutely recommend her, not just for weddings but for any photography needs!

ed her immediately because she was so sweet and because of her amazing reviews. Our engagement photos were at Malibu Creek State Park. We waited until the lighting was perfect and had plenty of time to shoot. Eleonora shot us for 4 hours! Could not believe her level of commitment. She also makes this funny sound when she gets really excited with good lighting or a good angle. It's very fun :) She did everything as promised in the outline and was very upfront with budget and timing. She did run a little late on sending us the photos (she is booming in popularity!), but she promised us extra pages on our photo book- a compromise I am extra thrilled with! Our wedding was so much fun and it FLEW by. Eleonora and her husband were there to document each step of the way. Her husband was with the guys, and she was with us. Both produced wonderful photos. And the sheer NUMBER was impressive! Her specialty is candid photos. Granted, I loved the posed photos we did. But it was the candid photos that blew us away- the emotion during and after the ceremony, the dancing, and all the laughter. I loved reviewing the photos and seeing how happy everyone was and how much fun we all had. A big thing for us is we didn't want to spend the whole wedding taking photos. I was very happy with how Eleonora got our entire shot list done BEFORE the wedding and just 20 minutes into our cocktail hour. We loved that we actually got to enjoy our cocktail hour and our entire reception. Could not have asked for a better photographer to immortalize our favorite day. So excited to print our photos and get the wedding book. Thank you so much, Eleonora for a wonderful experience.

e look and feel we were looking for. She also was amazing at capturing fun, unique moments that weren't cookie-cutter photos you see on every wedding website. At one point, she and her assistant even literally got down on the ground in the middle of our dance floor to get an amazing action shot of everyone bouncing and singing along, and that floor was definitely not the best for laying on at that point in the night! And my favorite photo of the night was this incredible action shot where my husband and I were dancing in the middle of a circle of our friends and family, and she took it from above where he and I are in focus and everyone else is in motion - it's gorgeous and so unique. She has a fantastic eye and isn't afraid to try fun, interesting ways to capture the feeling of the day. She was also just so much FUN to work with, and had so many of her own ideas to bring when we had just vague descriptions of what we were looking for. I should also mention we were planning our own wedding from across the country, so when we had questions or weren't able to scout locations for photos, she was able to accommodate and help ensure everywhere we selected would end up with beautiful images. I cannot recommend Eleonora enough. If you are considering working with her, just say YES!

y but she made me feel so comfortable. She also didn't miss a moment! She spent most of the day with us: getting ready, group photos, riding to the venue, and there after. Meanwhile, her husband spent the day with the groomsmen. Eleonora was finished editing very quickly also! I didn't expect the edited photos to come in before a couple months but got them much sooner. Everything was perfect! I really couldn't imagine a better experience. I'll cherish these photos for the rest of my life. Thank you Eleonora 💜

ound her. Worth every penny!

ndid shots. She was more than accommodating. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone else.

a last minute flat tire that made him too late to do the originally planned first meet photo shoot! But Eleonora came up with a new plan, orchestrated it with her husband-partner Westley, and it was absolutely magical. The team worked so hard all night, capturing beautiful moments, the best photos of our family and friends. Elenora didn't stop for a second- even though it was her own birthday! It's so clear that she loves what she does. You'll love your photos and experience. We did!

otographer, you want both a skilled photographer and someone with great energy. With Eleonara you have the best of both!

work.

the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Eleonora is an exquisite photographer (Wes too!), with an eye for identifying all those touching moments you'd want to remember from your wedding AND the photography skills to capture them on the spot in the most beautiful way. Her innate sense of color, texture, light and composition has resulted in so many images that we cherish. In addition to the stunning quality of their work, Eleonora and Wesley were such a fun addition to the party! They brought so much positivity and passion and had a way of making their subjects feel comfortable and genuinely happy to be photographed. They can seamlessly dance between being unseen, to respectfully commanding the attention of a large unruly group, if needed. We are eternally grateful for their beautiful work. They are an adorable and incredibly talented couple and we HIGHLY recommend bringing them on board for your big day (and we have recommended them to multiple friends and family members)!

mony and the reception with beauty and flare. Even when my husband and I were moaning "do we have to?", she persevered with humor and grace, and boy, was she right! We can re-live our wonderful wedding day over and over as if it was yesterday.

ure all while completely following our wedding plan. My wife and I got married in California but live in Oregon, so we had to do a lot of our planning remotely. Even over the phone, we immediately clicked with Eleonora’s personality and her philosophy toward wedding photography -- that she wants to be an observer in the moment and not get in the way. She also agreed with and was supportive of our desire to not do “first look” photos before the ceremony. Avoiding the pre-ceremony shots like that can add a lot of stress for a photographer, but she handled it with paramount grace. After viewing the shots from our wedding, I can say she and her partner Wesley definitely are ninjas! We can’t believe how many great candid shots there are of us and all our guests, no one was left out, and we never felt like the photographers were monopolizing anyone’s time. Our posed shots are really great too, because both Eleonora and Wesley have a talent of getting their subjects to enjoy coming out of their shells during poses. Looking back, my wife and I are beyond thrilled with the whole experience. Eleonora is a great person and photographer, and she worked very hard for us to come up with the perfect wedding photos, for an extremely fair price -- she really is the full package. Hire her!

runch as the whole wedding party had a cruise to make. She managed to get every family member in no time flat with some especially courageous shots in the wetlands that may or may not have been the chagrin of not a few dry cleaners. And then went with us all on the most raucous Carnival cruise wedding that has been in years. She took photos of everything and was so gracious, even though I think we may have been a little rough around the edges, she always felt like one of the family and I know my new sister is head over heels about all the prints she got . "HotDOG!" -WT

vity and charisma in every shot. We were very lucky to have received family photos that have brought us all closer because of the moments caught. Thank you Eleonora

d time she took to answer all our questions and give us helpful suggestions that made our day that much better. The communication we had and the effortless way she guided us trough our wedding day. The most amazing engagement session that helped me connect with my now husband Jack in a whole new way and felt like the best date ever. The way she continued to care for us after the wedding to insure we had the most amazing legacy art book to cherish for generations to come. I could go on, but in the end, all you need to know is that having Eleonora as your wedding photographer will be the best decision you make. She was even more wonderful then I had imagined.

tos she took are priceless to me!

ow all I can say is we made the best decision! She and westley made us feel at ease and even managed our rowdy bridal party. They covered every little detail - every guest- and every moment- She made our dreams come true and now we have the photos to prove it! Our guests and families are so impressed by the photos and can't wait to order and hang on our walls! 💕

. She found Eleonora on the knot, and we contacted her that same day. She was so friendly and personable over the phone, so we knew we had found the right person. We met her at our engagement shoot – and fyi, my husband and I are so awkward in front of the camera, but Eleonora helped us feel more in our element and we became more comfortable as the shoot went on. It was also a great way to get to know her. On your wedding day, your attention gets pulled in a million directions and there's so much going on that you miss out on certain things, but these photos show what everyone was up to from start to finish. Eleonora and Wesley captured every moment, and did so very creatively and beautifully. If I hadn’t seen pictures of me getting into my dress, and all the last minute prep my husband and his groomsmen were doing, I wouldn’t have realized how awesome and comical it was since I was so nervous and anxious in those moments. We had a romantic and elegant vibe to our wedding, and these pictures reflect that. It looks like a fairytale. We’re just so thrilled and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. But Eleonora doesn’t stop there – she also created our thank you cards, which are amazing. Even in the way she packaged them for shipment, the detail and touches she added for the presentation was beautiful. She is truly passionate about what she does, and I can’t wait to get started on creating a wedding album with her. Thank you, Eleonora!

PHOTOGRAPHER, that’s Eleonora. We were lucky to have her as our wedding photographer. She also did our engagement pictures which she included for free so she could get to know us better, we weren’t planning on doing engagement pictures. So happy we did it. She enlarged and framed two of those photos for us for a very reasonable price. They are hanging in our living room now. Its like Art. I can't say enough good things her and her husband/assistant Wesley. They brought a beautiful energy to our wedding. From the beginning she patiently listened to what I wanted, never said no or we can't, or made me feel unreasonable which I am sure I was at times. She did everything to bring my vision to life. She truly loves her job and wants the bride to feel happy and stress free unlike some other photographers that I interviewed before I met her. We forgot to take a photo with my husband's cousin, which made them unhappy. Eleonora suggested photo shopping them in, which was a brilliant idea. She did a bunch of especial edits for me, when I tried to pay her for the editing time she wouldn't take anything. Her focus is making her client happy. Not only they took beautiful artistic pictures but it was just a joy working with them. I had a Persian wedding, with different customs and traditions, she asked questions did her own research before the wedding to be ready. Our wedding was also very long, with a change of location, it was also on the beach. They were ready in my suite at 10 am and worked to 2am. They stayed focused throughout and worked endlessly to take all the shots I requested. A lot of our guests commented on how hard our photographers were working and how professional they were. Lets just say they were a big hit with our friends and family. ;) At the beginning I told Eleonora I don’t like my profile pictures since I think it makes my nose look big, she asked me to trust her and let her take some. Thankfully I did and those photos are my absolute favorite. She does magic. We found our lifetime photographer. If she is available to do your wedding you are very lucky.

e found her. Not only are they talented and have fantastic eyes for their art, they are very sweet and knows how to get the job done. Eleonora and Westley took out engagement photos and wedding photos and I love them all! I will continue to hire them for all of our future photo shoots!! We are hoping its for a baby!!!

ul candid photos. I am in love with the photos of the wedding party! They will be cherished forever. <3

get those 'perfect' shots. You've nothing to worry about if you're in Eleornoras hands.

prior to the wedding to chat, introduce herself and asked for a schedule of the two day event far in advance. She met us at the venue for the rehearsal and to get a pre lay of the land, which I love! With schedule in hand she was always where she needed to be and that made things very easy for me as it was never hard to find her over the very large area that was both the wedding site and the reception. We stayed in constant communication with each other about the scheduled parts of the two days and she was right on cue for the unscheduled surprises, of which there were many, it was a pretty wild affair. I could see that she made great use of her time and was ALWAYS shooting!! I even had to reminder her to please remember to stop for some dinner! I highly recommend Eleonora and will be letting people know about her in the future. Class act!!!

just the beauty of the surroundings, but the emotion of the moment. She shoots from the heart, putting all of her artistic self into her work. She is able to draw the joy out of her subjects with unsurpassed style and imagination. Like the Engagement photos, the Wedding photos turned out magnificent! What a very gifted and elegant artist Eleonora Barna is!

m a photography point of view. She recognized that we are a creative bunch and encouraged us to use it! Im thankful for this time together because she made me feel at ease on the BIG DAY. Her professionalism and love of her job made everything so special. Im so happy she was able to capture all the details that I missed that day. We chose to have our photos done after the ceremony, which was a VERY tight timeframe. Eleonora was efficient and thorough with the requests we had talked about. Eleonora even displayed our engagement photos during the reception which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing! I got more compliments on the photos than the gourmet charcuterie! Eleonora managed to capture of photo of the entire crowd dancing, I know I will always love looking at this photo because it transports me back to the best day of my life!
