- Alyssa & andrew, historic rockland church colorado wedding
From start to finish, working with Elora and her team was an absolute dream and it honestly felt like another pair of our friends were witnessing one of the biggest moments of our lives. They captured every precious moment of our special day with such grace and creativity, far beyond our expectations. From the intimate ceremony at the historic Rockland Church to our photos on Lookout Mountain and following us to our reception in Morrison, they didn’t just take pictures and video – they told the story of our big day in the most special way. Their attention to detail was impeccable. Every photo felt so personal and true to the emotions of the moment. They were patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire process, making us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. We’re beyond grateful for the memories they've captured for us, and we’ll treasure these photos and the video for decades to come. If you're looking for a photographer and videographer who will not only provide stunning memories but also make your day feel even more magical, look no further than Elora and her team.

"Every photo felt so personal and true to the emotions of the moment. Elora was patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire process"
I had such a wonderful experience working with Elora! What I loved most about the shoot was how natural and comfortable everything felt. During the session, I was honestly surprised at how relaxed I was - I’m not typically someone who likes taking pictures - but Elora made the whole process feel so effortless. We focused on capturing genuine moments, not stiff poses, and it truly felt like I was just enjoying the day.
We had our engagement shoot at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, and it was absolutely amazing! The location was stunning and added a very romantic feel to the shoot!
If you're looking for a photographer, my advice is to choose someone who is friendly and makes you feel at ease—Elora does exactly that! It’s such a huge difference when you’re able to relax and just enjoy the moment. Highly recommend!

Elora was absolutely AMAZING. We had an impromtu trip to Colorado, which I wanted to take advantage of the beautiful scenery and Elora was willing to work with us on such short notice. She was very communicative, fun, sweet and just all around professional. She gave us prompts to do, instead of just "here pose like this". It made the session so much fun and the pictures, OH MY GOSH Yall... they came out incredible. I trusted her process/vision fully and I am so glad I did. She went above and beyond to capture the love my fiancé and I share. The one thing that pleasantly surprised me was she noticed if i needed to stand taller, pull my stomach back so i didnt look weird, it didnt make me feel self conscious, it made me feel like "yes, this girl has the eye". 10000/10 would recommend again and again.
