Hey, I'm Elora. I didn't grow up here, but somewhere between the heat and the red rocks, Arizona became home base number two.

"She ended up being so much more than our photographer."

Elora was our photographer for our intimate outdoor wedding at Desert Botanical Garden, and she helped us with our timeline, one of the toughest parts of planning. She was such a wonderful, cheerful presence on our special day. She's an absolute pleasure to work with and has a beautiful talent for capturing special moments. I'd recommend her to anyone.

We met Elora at a bridal expo and booked her before we even got our engagement photos back. She brought fun, authentic energy to every shoot, giving us real prompts instead of "sit and smile," and helped us plan our timeline and navigate the whole day of our wedding at Schnepf Farms. Our photos exceeded every expectation, capturing moments we didn't even know were taken. We'll be lifelong clients!

"Elora didn't just show up. She became a friend."

"Elora is AHHHMAZING!"

My fiancé and I have no idea what to do in front of the camera, but Elora guided us through fun, flirty poses and scenarios for our shoot at the Downtown Phoenix Courthouse. She's a wiz with the camera and such a joy to be around. If you need photos done for absolutely anything, book her!

"We chose Elora and we couldn't be happier."

My husband and I were blown away by Elora's attention to detail and her knowledge and experience as a wedding photographer. She had a plan laid out for us right away, with monthly meetings to cover every detail leading up to our wedding at Schnepf Farms. She pours herself into her work, and it shows. Our photos and videos came back perfect, we cannot say enough good things! We'll continue to use her for all our events and family pictures.
