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.

I'm Elena Suhova, and I've been photographing people for ten years: families and couples, maternity and newborns, small weddings, headshots and brand shoots. Family sessions start at £299, headshots at £155 and small weddings at £750. I'm fully insured, and there are more than 40 five-star reviews on Google if you'd like a second opinion.

A little of my recent work

Real days, real people.

Families, newborns, weddings, brand days and one very loud gym. Different days, all photographed the same way, as they happened.

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.

The photos are superb. Elena took the time to show me poses and paid real attention to detail. Would recommend 100%.
