Eleonora Barna Photography

turing 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!

ment! 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 💜

stically recommend her to anyone else.

ally 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!

h great energy. With Eleonara you have the best of both!

s 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)!

nd 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.

d 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!

ged 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

ived family photos that have brought us all closer because of the moments caught. Thank you Eleonora

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.

ade 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! 💕

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!

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.

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!!!

rty! They will be cherished forever. <3

're in Eleornoras hands.

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!!!

nt. 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!

ative 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!

all that and more, she went above and beyond what we had agreed apon not only were we completly satisfied we were astonished. The outcome, professinal apporach, the easy going demenor, and the level of commitment she displayed was unmatched by any of our other vendors. Elle was our favorite person to work with, a shinning light of the wedding business. She was the perfect match for us, and I would highly recommend her not only for wedding photo's but photo's of anykind. Especailly artistic, creative shots she excels in the details, and capturing the moments you've surely forgotten. Shes the Top Knot photographer thats for sure.

e couldn't have been more grateful for how Eleonora helped out day to shine.

f the bride cannot stop smiling.

I to fully be in the moment and especially present with each other. Our engagement shoot became a cherished day for us, full of tenderness, playfulness, and reverence— thanks to the wholehearted space Eleonora held for us. On our wedding day Eleonora came early and left late, generous and passionate in every moment of the day and night. Everyone could feel her love and joy in capturing every detail and each precious moment. Eleonora is amazing with people! She brought out the very best in all our family and friends. And since Darin and I were familiar with working with Eleonora from our engagements shoot, taking our wedding photos was delightful, fluid, and so much fun. Eleonora celebrated us & the magic of our day…. and that ’s exactly the essence of our beautiful wedding photographs. We’re so grateful! Thank you Eleonora! ~DC

oments. She makes you feel so amazing! You need to book this girl! you will not be disappointed!! Thank you eleonora for all your hard work and for making our day so special.

ed by the level of detail she was able to capture. Not only did she pay attention to my husband, me and the bridal party, she also took countless shots of almost all our guests. More importantly, everybody looks wonderful and natural through her lens. It feels that she was nowhere during the event, but looking through the photos it feels that she was everywhere at the wedding - telling such a comprehensive story through various angles. As the bride, I missed a lot at the reception because of change of dress and make-up retouch, but thanks to Eleonora I was able to relive those moments!

se great moments that I was hoping to get. When I saw Eleonora's images I thought they were amazing. The feelings captured on those images were just incredible. Having a skilled photographer on your special day is a must. I highly recommend Eleonora's photography for your wedding day and any special occasion.

r engagement shoot we met Eleonora to discuss what we wanted and Eleonora was very personable since the beginning. She made a great effort to get to know us as persons to be able to portrait us in a unique way and tell our story through the photos. Eleonora came up with fantastic ideas for the engagement shoot, we had such a fun day with her and the photos came out great! Prior to our wedding day Eleonora ensured she had all the details needed of our wedding day and guests. On our wedding day Eleonora was there from the preparations to the ceremony and reception and went over and beyond to not miss a moment. She captured our special day in such a beautiful way! Our guests felt at ease with her and just loved having her around. Once again the photos came out amazing and we were able to relive the day through them. Eleonora has an incredible talent to capture all the different emotions and her photos are truly magical! We are so happy that we chose Eleonora as our photographer and cannot thank her enough for her spectacular work. We highly recommend Eleonora to anyone who wants to make sure that they are in the best hands on their special day. Eleonora is simply a star!

o over lighting. On the day of the ceremony she was with the girls and I for hours of primping, she then got pictures of the location, guests, and all the guys. She stayed at the reception almost till the very end. She worked a very long and tireless day. She delivered far more pictures than we had imagined in a short time period, we were on our honeymoon and they came through. I love my pictures and going through them to this day brings a smile to my face.

g to end. I knew within moments that I wanted to hire her for the big day. She glides seamlessly throughout the day, never in the way, never intrusive - the ninja of wedding photographers. Her grace and calm nature instantly puts everyone at ease and the work she is able to do because of it is just fantastic. Our photos were perfect and ever since I have been referring her to all of my wedding clients. She is a joy and a talent.

y of your life. I will hire her for my wedding and continue to reccomend her always. 👰 💝

brought tears to our eyes. She captured the whole thing so beautiful and honestly. If you want The best, look no further!

ides excellent professional direction. You will be thrilled with the results. My photos are so beautiful and special. You only get to have your wedding once, you should absolutely go with the best, I'm so happy that I did.

he covers everything from a shot list to any special needs or requests and makes sure to get it all. She gets to know you and your venue before your wedding day, so she knows exactly what she is doing. She lets you relax on your big day because she already knows exactly what you want and how she is going to get it. Every shot- from the objects (rings, decorations) to the people is beautiful and vibrant. I love looking at our wedding photos over and over again!

back I was in tears. The truth an d beauty was so honestly captured. It's amazing that one photographer can capture the job of 3. I have nothing but gratitude for the generosity and talent we received from Eleonora.
