Wedding photography · Austin, Texas
Your day, as it really felt.
Candid, natural-light photographs for couples who would rather be themselves than perform for a camera.
Hello, I'm Elena Hart
Photographs that feel the way the day did.
I photograph weddings in Austin and across Central Texas and the Hill Country, and I try to stay just far enough back that you forget I'm there. Most of what you'll receive is the in-between: the nervous laugh, a grandparent wiping an eye, the quiet minute before the doors open.
You don't need to know how to pose. You only need to turn up as yourselves, and I'll take it from there.

How I work
Less posing, more paying attention.
I keep a respectful distance, work with the light that's already in the room, and let the day happen in front of the camera.
She made us feel completely at ease, and the photographs look exactly the way the day felt.
