Elegant Storytelling, Timeless Imagery
You want more than photographs. You want timeless art that preserves your story, the emotions, the fleeting moments, and the connections that matter most.
Through honest storytelling and editorial artistry, I create photographs to be treasured today and passed down for generations.
Ontario Wedding Photographer | Documentary & Editorial Photography
Yelenne.
Welcome, I’m Yelenne.
I’m an Ontario wedding photographer blending documentary storytelling with editorial artistry.
From candid, meaningful moments to timeless, magazine worthy portraits, I capture your day as it naturally unfolds, with gentle direction when needed.
The result? Refined, honest imagery that preserves not only how your wedding looked, but the emotions, connections, and memories that made it yours, photographs to treasure for generations.
What is an Associate Photographer?
An associate photographer is a trusted, hand-selected professional from my team who photographs your wedding on behalf of Selah Photos, following the same artistic vision, approach, and attention to detail you see throughout my portfolio.
The experience & quality remain consistent:
Personally selected photographers whose work and approach align with my standards.
The same documentary-meets-editorial style, with an emphasis on genuine moments and refined portraits.
Professional grade equipment, experience, and thoughtful direction when needed.
All images are professionally edited by me to maintain the signature Selah Photos aesthetic.
I remain involved in the planning, engagement session, timeline coordination, communication, and final gallery delivery.
You can expect the same care, artistry, and quality that define Selah Photos, with a trusted associate capturing your day.
I was planning a destination wedding in Mexico back in 2025 (just got married!) and found Yelenne. Thank the heavens that I did and chose her because I don’t know any other person I would hire to photograph my wedding. She is genuine, kind, listens to your suggestions and captures you as a person. She made everyone feel comfortable and makes you feel like yourself throughout the whole process.
We met a few times over Zoom to discuss the wedding and I’m glad we did. It was so easy to trust her.
I sent Yelenne a timeline of photography, what shots I wanted and she delivered. The details captured throughout the entire day were literal perfection. She spent equal time between the bride, groom, wedding party and family. She sent previews and the full gallery within less than a week (and we were on vacation too)! After seeing the previews, one of my bridesmaids immediately inquired her for her wedding - that’s how good she is.
I can’t thank Yelenne enough for her work and capturing our wedding day more perfectly. Would recommend her over and over again!!

— Niahm & AaronHOW it all happens …
-
We start with a relaxed Zoom call to connect, talk through your wedding plans, and make sure we’re the right fit. You can share your vision, ask questions, and get a feel for how I work before making any decisions.
-
Once you’re ready to move forward, a signed contract and a 33% retainer are required to officially reserve your wedding date. From this moment on, your date is locked in my calendar.
-
After booking, I guide you through the planning process. We’ll refine timelines, discuss details, and make sure everything is set so your day flows naturally and stress-free.
-
This is where everything comes to life. A lead photographer from my team will be there documenting your day as it unfolds, gently guiding when needed, but mostly focusing on real, unscripted moments.
-
Depending on your collection, you’ll receive a selection of preview images within 72 hours so you can relive the emotion and share a first glimpse with family and friends.
-
Your complete gallery is delivered within 4–6 weeks. Every image is carefully edited to reflect your story, ready to be relived, shared, and treasured for years to come.

There are not enough words to describe how we feel about Yelenne! Yelenne recently did our engagement session and wedding day photography with express service and it was easily one of the best wedding decisions we made. During our consult I let her know the most important thing for me was to have photos I could look back on that would bring me back to those special moment of my wedding day and she executed just that! Yelenne came prepared with a mood board and really nailed our vision! If you’re looking for professionalism, a helping hand (in the midst of wedding day chaos), someone who works from the heart, she 👏🏽is👏🏽your👏🏽girl👏🏽! Amiga mia, we cannot thank you enough, we are in awe of our wedding album and wish you a prosperous year ahead! 🩷

payment schedule
-
A 33% non-refundable retainer secures your date and is applied toward your total investment. The remaining balance can be paid in three equal installments or in full, 7 days before your wedding.
Once your contract is signed and retainer is received, your date is officially reserved, and planning begins.
-
The full remaining amount is due 7 days prior to your wedding day. This option is perfect if you’d rather take care of everything at once and move into your wedding week with everything fully settled.

Yes, this is completely normal and something we guide you through the entire time. We will never leave you wondering what to do with your hands. We give gentle direction when needed, but we also focus on natural interaction so your photos feel real, relaxed, and true to you.
-
Most couples book 8–18 months in advance, especially for peak wedding seasons. Once your date is secured with a signed contract and retainer, it is fully reserved and I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure each couple receives a personalized experience.
-
My approach sits in the space between documentary storytelling and intentional artistry. I focus on real moments as they naturally unfold, while still guiding you in a way that feels effortless and unforced. The goal is never to stage your day, but to understand it, so the images feel honest, emotional, and deeply connected to who you are.
I’m not just there to take photos of what happens, but to preserve how it felt to live it.
-
I approach every wedding with a strong sense of observation and preparation. Before the day, I learn your timeline and priorities so I know what matters most to you. On the day itself, I stay attentive to natural moments as they unfold so nothing meaningful goes unnoticed.
-
Of course. While I focus on storytelling and natural moments, I always welcome must-have shots like family groupings or meaningful details. I balance those requests with a documentary flow so nothing feels forced or staged.
