About Focus on the Moment

Focus on the Moment

Head Photographer

Hey there, I'm Elena! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Bristol, VA/TN serving clients across Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. While my heart is in the Southeast, I'm always ready to pack my bags and capture your love story wherever it takes you across the country. My shooting style is relaxed, playful, and evocative. I value connection, authenticity, and true colors. I help couples who love candid shots and cherish raw emotions! Before becoming a wedding photographer, I spent a decade as a travel reporter. This shaped my photojournalistic and observant approach. I absolutely LOVE hunting for the ideal moment!

Important Note: I don’t expect you to be a professional model! My style is perfect for those who feel a bit camera-shy. I help bring out your natural selves with fun and easy prompts, never holding you in a pose for more than 30 seconds. This dynamic flow ensures your photos are genuine, laid-back, and whimsical. In three words: Joyful, Organized, Creative.

    Elena is a very delightful photographer to work with. She is has a very creative eye and thought process, and is able to get from great concepts to the delivery of gorgeous and beautiful photos. She is very professional and is willing to go the extra mile to get ALL the shots. I was so pleased with the photos she took of my wedding florals; I think she must have sprinkled some fairy dust on those flowers to get the gorgeous images that she did. I would choose to work with her again and again.

  • Wonderful and efficient

    Elena did a wonderful job capturing the pictures we wanted at our wedding. She was efficient. My husband and I did not want to spend a ton of time taking posed photos and wanted her to capture us dancing and living in the moment, and she did just that. We got wonderful pictures of us posing and of us dancing. Definitely recommend her!!

    We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer! From start to finish, Elena was absolutely incredible. Their attention to detail is unmatched; every shot was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. She made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera, which truly brought out the best in our photographs. Not only is she incredibly personable, but her editing skills are also top-notch. Each photo is a stunning work of art, capturing the magic and emotion of our special day beautifully. We are beyond thrilled with the results and couldn't recommend Elena more highly. 10/10 recommend Focus on the Moment Photography for anyone looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer. Thank you for making our day so memorable and giving us photos we will cherish forever!
