Elegant Storytelling, Timeless Imagery
Let me guess, you don't just want wedding photos. You want art. You want images that feel timeless, intentional, and deeply meaningful. Of course you want the beautiful portraits and the moments everyone expects, but what you're really looking for is something that will stop your friends, family, children and grandchildren in their tracks years from now and make them say, “Wow.” You want photographs that preserve not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt, the emotion, the people, the legacy, and the fleeting moments that can never be recreated. If that's what you're looking for, you're in the right place. My approach is rooted in documenting your day honestly and artistically, creating imagery that feels as valuable decades from now as it does the moment you receive it.
Ontario Wedding Photographer | Documentary & Editorial Photography
Yelenne.
Welcome, I’m Yelenne, an Ontario wedding photographer capturing weddings with a blend of documentary storytelling and editorial artistry.
My approach combines candid, genuine moments with timeless portraits and gentle direction, creating imagery that feels both refined and deeply personal. From the quiet, meaningful moments to magazine-worthy portraits, I document your wedding day as it naturally unfolds, without interrupting the moments that matter most.
The result is a collection of timeless wedding photographs filled with emotion, beautiful composition, and the details that make your story uniquely yours. Artful yet authentic, your photographs will feel just as meaningful years from now as they did on your wedding day.
What matters most to you
✓ You want photographs that feel genuine, not forced.
✓ You want timeless images that won't look dated in 10 years.
✓ You want beautiful portraits without spending your entire wedding day posing.
✓ You want magazine-worthy photos of the two of you while still capturing the real emotion of the day.
✓ You want family photos to be organized and efficient so you can get back to celebrating.
✓ You want a photographer who can gently guide you when needed and blend into the background when moments unfold naturally.
✓ You want to be fully present on your wedding day, trusting that every meaningful moment is being documented beautifully.
If this sounds like you, you’re exactly the kind of couple I love working with. You don’t need to worry about posing, lighting, or where to go. I’ll guide you when needed and let genuine moments unfold naturally. My documentary approach with a touch of editorial direction creates timeless, artful photographs that preserve not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Yelenne is the best in the business!!! She’s so incredibly talented and you can see the magic she creates in each photo.

Wedding Photography Services
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!!

Fine Art Wedding Album. A handcrafted heirloom album designed to preserve your memories. An album turns your wedding memories into something tangible, something you can hold, revisit on anniversaries, and share with future generations. There's something special about sitting together on the couch and reliving your day page by page. While digital galleries are convenient, albums become family heirlooms that grow more meaningful with time. $750 to $1500
Film photography. For couples who love the beauty of the imperfect and the timeless.
Film captures light, color, and emotion in a way that feels nostalgic, artistic, and deeply personal. Each frame is intentional, creating images with a softness and authenticity that can't be fully replicated. It's a beautiful addition for couples who value heirloom-quality photographs and want a unique layer added to their wedding story.$120 per roll.Bridal Session. A chance to slow down and create without the pressure of a wedding timeline. Your wedding day can be busy, and portraits are often limited by schedules, weather, or venue restrictions. A bridal session gives us dedicated time to create beautiful, intentional photographs in a relaxed environment. It's an opportunity to wear your dress again, explore a meaningful location, and capture timeless portraits without feeling rushed. Many couples also find it helps them feel more confident and comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day. A dedicated portrait session before or after the wedding day $500 per hour.
Expedited Gallery Delivery. Relive your wedding while the emotions are still fresh.The days immediately following your wedding are filled with excitement, reflection, and conversations about your favorite moments.

Receive your full gallery sooner than the standard turnaround time ( within 7 days) $900.
Additional Coverage Hour. Because some moments aren't meant to be rushed. Whether you'd like more getting-ready coverage, extra time for portraits, or want to document more of the dance floor and celebrations, an additional hour provides flexibility and peace of mind. It allows your day to unfold naturally without feeling like you're constantly watching the clock. Perfect for extra getting-ready time, travel, or extended reception coverage. $500 per hour.
Rehearsal Dinner Coverage. Some of the most meaningful moments happen before the wedding day.The rehearsal dinner is often where stories are shared, emotions run high, and families and friends gather in a more intimate setting. It's a chance to document the anticipation, heartfelt speeches, and connections that are an important part of your wedding weekend but are often forgotten once the big day arrives. Document the intimate moments leading up to your wedding. $500 per hour.

8 hours
Perfect for couples planning a wedding day with most events taking place in one location or with a streamlined timeline. Eight hours typically allows enough time to capture the final stages of getting ready, the ceremony, family portraits, couple portraits, cocktail hour, and many of the key reception moments. If you're envisioning a more intimate celebration or don't need extensive dance floor coverage, 8 hours is often a great fit.
10 hours
My most booked collection, 10 hours offers the ideal balance of full-day coverage and a relaxed timeline, capturing everything from getting ready to reception highlights, with plenty of candid moments in between.
Not sure how much coverage you need? I’m happy to share sample timelines ranging from 8 to 14 hours to help you decide what works best for your day.
Need more than 10 hours? Additional coverage is available at $500 per hour.

.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. I’ll be there documenting your day as it unfolds, gently guiding when needed, but mostly focusing on real, unscripted moments.

-
At the time of booking, a 33% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date. This retainer is applied toward your total package investment. The remaining balance is due prior to or on your wedding day, as outlined in your contract.
Once your date is confirmed, I will officially reserve it for you and begin the planning process to ensure everything is in place for your wedding day.

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 I guide you through the entire time. I’ll never leave you wondering what to do with your hands. I give gentle direction when needed, but I 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.
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! 🩷
