There are not enough words to describe how happy my husband, myself and our families were with our wedding photos, shot by the incredible Elyana. What a hidden gem of the LA photographer world! We were planning our wedding from across the country, and from the beginning, she put us at ease. We had great phone calls, she showed us her portfolio, and just went above and beyond. Her meticulous planning, easy spirit, and talent really speak through the beautiful pictures that were captured. We went with the full day package plus a second shooter, and we were so glad we did! They were able to capture all the moments we were looking for, documenting a photo journalistic approach that lead to amazing candids, sweet moments, and literally a photo of every single guest at our wedding. I could not believe that. every single guest was captured in a beautiful and natural way, giving us an album that transports us back to each and every moment, allowing us to see multiple angles, and ensure... Read more that all the photos we wanted were captured. Her subtle way of keeping the day going, without being commanding or pushy was incredibly appreciated, as wrangling bridal party and family alike takes effort. Not to mention her charm and amazing personality really put us at ease and allowed us to feel like old friends, very quickly. We have received so many compliments on our photos, and have heard many "these are some of the best wedding photos we have seen!" multiple times over. Her ability to capture natural light was an artistic expression that really sold us on her work, and blew us away, as our ceremony was outside on a beautiful sunny day. It is hard to chose a favorite photo, and we didn't have to wait long! We received our photos within the month. She even went the extra mile to provide additional edits upon request. There is nothing she can't do! there is so much more I could stay, but simply put, don't overthink this choice, Eylana will provide you with the most incredible photos of such a special day, and is the easiest and best decision from our wedding that we made!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with Elyana for our engagement shoot. She was professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. From the moment we arrived at our shoot, she instantly put us both at ease and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out spectacular, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Elyana was the photographer for our wedding in Temecula, CA in December 2019. We saw her style and knew it was a great fit for us and for our beautiful venue. We were beyond thrilled with the experience and the photos that we now have forever! We went with the additional photograph which we think was a good move getting some additional photos of the groomsmen while Elyana focused on the bridal party. The venue (Galway Downs) is spectacular and Elyana really captured its beauty with each picture. Some people come away with a few photos that they like but we really are so happy because so many of the photos are flawless. Elyana will be a personable and calm presence on your big day and we cannot say enough good things about the experience. We know a lot of people who spend so much money on their photos and we just couldn't be happier for the value and quality we got. Thank you so much.

My husband and I feel so blessed that we were able to book Elyana for our wedding. In addition to being extremely talented, she was friendly, caring, flexible, and responsive. She scouted locations near our venue before our wedding day, set up a seamless first look, and efficiently and professionally handled family and group pictures in a way that made the day stress-free. When we got our picture back (in ONLY 4 WEEKS!), my jaw dropped. My friends and family have been raving about how our pictures look like they belong in a magazine, and I have to agree! Her talent and vision turned out pictures that my husband and I will treasure forever! If given the chance to pick again, I'd pick Elyana every time.

We were so blown away by Elyana - hiring her was by far one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process! Neither my husband nor I generally love taking photos, but Elyana made us feel so comfortable and relaxed! She was able to accommodate taking pictures at multiple locations, had lots of great suggestions, and captured everything we wanted at our ceremony and reception. She couldn't have been nicer, and her photos of our day were incredible!

Elyana is a very friendly person who is very compassionate in her work. She is a hard worker as she carries out what the client wants. With my experience, she had many candid pictures as I was able to relieve my wedding through her photos. Her photos embraces all the emotions on my wedding day. Elyana is easy to work with and very professional. She is very detailed and organized when planning your day- she did that to mine , and I wanted everything that I imagined it to be. My wedding photos came out exactly what I wanted.

I have only received sneak peeks of some of my wedding photos (which came the very next day!) and I am IN LOVE with Elyana's work. She is extremely professional and a huge joy to work with. I would recommend her to everyone, she is a true artist and you will not regret working with such a professional and talented person!

Elyana is like having a best friend who just so happens to also be a fantastic photographer. From the minute we met her at our engagement shoot, she helped put us at ease and guide us through the photos like we were her friends rather than clients. On our wedding day, she was such a joy and comfort to have around. You can tell she truly loves her job! Not to mention, the photographs are just gorgeous. Her beautiful esthetic and eye for gorgeous light resulted in beautiful photographs that we will cherish forever. If you’re wondering whether to hire Elyana, wonder no more. You will not be disappointed!

We totally love Elyana as the best photographer ever! She is very easy to communicate and responsive. Her skills and personality made the whole picture shooting experience run very smoothly, and we actually had tons of fun in the process. She is great at making you feel very comfortable and not nervous in front of camera. We will definitely recommend Elyana to all of my friends and family. She is amazing!

I knew from the minute I saw her portfolio that she was the one for us. I spent so much time looking for the one photographer that would stop me in my tracks similar to love at first sight lol and I felt that "spark" when I saw her work. If you are debating on a photographer DON'T! That is the one thing that you can keep forever and so cannot wait to fill up albums and our house with her photos! Elyana was amazing from the very beginning. My mom and I met her at a coffee shop and our connection I felt was instant. She clued me in to how she works and also advised me on timeline and worked with me on my budget as well. She was very thorough and listened to my vision and was the sweetest with my mom who had many questions and stories for her. Leading up to our day, she would text me and assure me that everything will be beautiful and was always so excited which made me so happy to feel that! She truly loves what she does and knows her craft very well! I am forever grateful to her and Gin... Read morea (her second shooter) which I highly recommend! Throughout our wedding day she was calm, professional, but also very enthusiastic which made me and my now hubby want to take more and more photos! Her work speaks for itself, but i will tell her that choosing her was the best decision after saying yes to my now husband ☺️ You will not regret it! Now I can't wait for more milestones and have her be a part of our family and capture them to share years later! Thank you Elyana and Gina!

If there is one thing you take away from this review it's this: HIRE ELYANA! When my husband and I found Elyanas page I knew immediately I wanted her to so our engagement and wedding pictures. She has a soft and romantic feel in her pictures. She was so easy to talk to in our preinterview. She was open to all of our ideas and trying new things. I felt like I was talking with a girl friend. When it came time to take our pictures she made us feel so comforts let because she was having so much fun. It's obvious she loves her job and she loves her clients. We ended up booking her for our wedding and less than 24hrs she gave a taste of our photos and they couldn't have been more perfect! She captured the full essence of me and my husband! I wouldn't have wanted to work with any other photographer!

My experience with Elyana was absolutely amazing. It was so easy to work with her and we all had a blast. She’s gives great direction and makes things as comfortable as possible. Never once did I feel awkward. All my photos came out great and so natural, my entire family loved them. Aside from the work that she did, as a person she was so fun to be around. I’m looking forward to working with her more.

Omigosh! Our photos from Elyana are absolutely amazing! She is a great person to work with, really relaxed and comfortable. My husband and I didn't feel awkward posing for photos at all (a true feat)! Elyana is prompt in communication and getting the photos out, and is super flexible. 10/10 will recommend to all family/friends!

Elyana did an amazing job photographing our wedding! She included both candid and portriat pictures in our collection, and they are simply breathtaking. She knew when to step in to help us with poses and when to step back and capture the candid moments. I actually had four different locations to be at throughout the day, and she drove to each one and was there ahead of time to set up. She is a very humble person and it made me feel very comfortable to get my pictures taken. We received our pictures when she said they would be ready and they were easily downloaded onto our drive. We also purchased a few canvases and they also arrived quickly. I must also add that she has affordable plans.
