About the photographer

Six years of
chasing light.

I'm Elara — a self-taught photographer based in the DMV area. I started shooting weddings in 2019 and haven't stopped since. My work has been published in two regional magazines and I've shot for brands, nonprofits, and families across Maryland and Virginia.

Every session is just us, good light, and a camera. No rushed timelines, no generic poses. Just honest, beautiful images.
