"Elena and Jesse are an actual dream team. We booked them right after we booked our wedding venue - choosing them was the easiest and best decision. There are so many things you start to worry about leading up to your wedding but because we chose Hey Lover I knew we didn't have to think twice about capturing the day. They executed so well; professional, kind, open, flexible. They made us feel totally natural and comfortable, they were there when we needed them, and seamlessly dispersed into the crowd when we were doing our thing and chatting to family. On top of all of that, their combined creative eye is chef's kiss. HIGHLY recommend."

"I can’t recommend Elena and Jesse enough. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They blended seamlessly into our day, present when needed, but never intrusive. We are fairly awkward in front of the camera and they both made us feel at ease and gave helpful tips. Their pricing was clear and fair, and they worked with us to create a package that fit our needs. Even from the sneak peeks, it’s clear they captured the day beautifully - creative, natural, artful, unpretentious, full of feeling, etc etc etc!! The portraits, candids, and detail/venue shots alike. If you're after documentary-style photography with a grounded, thoughtful approach, look no further than Hey Lover. I'm stoked we had them to capture our day."

Thank you thank you thank you for creating something so beautiful that we can watch and cherish for the rest of our lives."

"Elena has the coolest most unique photography aesthetic. She's also a great, calming energy to have on your wedding day. She's super responsive and flexible, and I found she really went out of her way to be organized. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a reliable and talented wedding photographer and videographer!"

"We hired Elena and Jesse to capture our big day in photos, because we wanted someone who would do our small, intimate, backyard summer wedding justice. They spent the day with us, and we could not have asked for more beautiful, natural, pictures. They understood what we wanted and delivered above and beyond. Everyone who has looked at our photos has said they hands down have never seen wedding pictures that captured such real, raw joy and special moments. No posing or awkwardness. Can't thank Elena enough for everything she put together."
