I am Elena, an English speaking wedding photographer in Nantes, France.
I was born in Yakutsk in the far North of Russia. After living 10 years in Paris where I started my work as a photographer, I met my future husband and moved to Nantes. This eclectic and lively city, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, has become my home.
My studies in Art and journalism allowed me to develop my vision and my own photographic style. This style can be summed up in luminous, elegant and spontaneous photographs.
EMOTION, romance, BEAUTY…
I have always been a sentimental person. It is for this reason that my images are centered on emotion, the feeling of romance and the light. I follow soft lights and natural colors. This timeless style will forever remain your love.
My experience allows me to be attentive to details, to anticipate the special moments of your wedding and to transcribe the beauty and grace of the photos. This work of finesse and emotions is a main point in my approach to photography. These are the moments of tenderness and euphoria that I capture for eternity for you and for those you love.

what people are saying
Our friends and family gushed over the pictures she took and we'll cherish them forever.
We hired Elena to take engagement photos of us on a freeeeezing early morning in February. We had no idea where to go or what to do. She was a total pro and made everything super easy for us.

This photograph taken 40 years ago seems as alive as ever to me and moves me whenever I see it.
Everyone in our family has a copy of this shot, which reminds us of the importance and strength of our love and family bonds.
