Intimate weddings and elopements across Surrey, documented properly, without the fuss.
Intimate weddings, registry offices, garden parties, elopements for two. If you'd rather have a proper meal and the people you love than a ten-piece band and a guest list you can't name, we'll get on well.
I document the day as it happens, relaxed and honest, and hand you back the story of it, not an album so heavy you never open it.
My guide to planning a small wedding in Surrey covers register offices, venues, timings and how much photography you need. Plenty of couples do a shoot together beforehand as well: here’s one in central London.

“Looking through our photos feels like reliving the whole day again.”
Where do I even begin… Elena is honestly incredible at what she does and we feel so lucky that we found her to capture our wedding day.
From the very beginning, she made the whole experience feel so personal. Meeting us for coffee beforehand, taking the time to get to know us, listening to exactly what we wanted from our photos and making sure she understood what was important to us. Her communication in the run-up to the wedding was amazing and we always felt completely looked after.

On the day itself, she was just brilliant. She made us feel so comfortable and somehow managed to capture all of those little moments, emotions and details so naturally. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the whole day again.
We were then completely blown away when she sent us our previews the very next day! Every single photo was beautiful and we honestly couldn’t stop looking at them.
Elena is unbelievably talented and has such an eye for capturing moments in the most beautiful way. These photos are something we will treasure for the rest of our lives and we are beyond grateful to her for giving us such special memories of our wedding day.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is incredible at what she does and choosing her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We loved our photos and our experience with Elena so much that we are now booking a family shoot with her too. 🤍
A few things worth knowing before your day.
As much or as little as you like. An elopement is often just a few hours, ceremony and portraits and away. The intimate day runs from the getting-ready to the first dance, and the full small-wedding day stretches to around ten hours. We map the timeline together beforehand so the parts that matter to you are covered, and nothing feels rushed.
That's no trouble. Register offices and candlelit rooms are where I spend a lot of my time, and I shoot in a way that keeps the mood of the room rather than blasting it with flash. You'll get photos that feel like the day felt, not washed out and clinical.
More than ever, I'd say. Some of the most moving days I've photographed had ten people in the room. Fewer guests means more real moments and more time to catch them properly. The size of the guest list has nothing to do with how much the day is worth remembering.
Tell me your date and your plans. We start with a chat. I've written more for couples marrying in Caterham, Reigate and Redhill, and at Croydon Register Office.
I reply within 24 hours.
