Hello, I'm Elena

The person behind Cup of Green.

I photograph families and business owners across Caterham and the towns around it. Muddy knees, proper laughter, no stiff poses. Just you, at your most yourselves, done well.

What I photograph

Six ways to work together.

See pricing
Family & Couples Relaxed sessions that feel like your family, at your own pace. Explore Maternity & Newborn Gentle, in-home sessions for the newest chapter. Natural, never posed. Explore Brand & Content Images that do a job: a launch, a website, a feed that needs filling. Explore Events The whole celebration, captured properly, so you can enjoy your own party. Explore Headshots A proper headshot, done well, in about an hour. No awkward poses. Explore Small Weddings Intimate weddings and elopements, documented properly, without the fuss. Explore

Short on time, or on budget? A few times a year I run mini sessions: twenty-five minutes for families, fifteen for a headshot.

Where I shoot

Caterham first, and all round it.

I'm based in Caterham and out most weeks across the surrounding towns. That's where I usually am, not where I stop. I have a bag and I travel, so if your day is somewhere further, or somewhere beautiful, tell me about it.
