About Focus on the Moment

Focus on the Moment

Head Photographer

Hey there, I’m Elena! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Bristol, VA/TN, serving couples across Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina—with a special love for weddings in the DC and Northern Virginia area. My style is relaxed, playful, and observant, and I help camera-shy couples feel comfortable in front of the lens. Before weddings, I spent a decade as a travel reporter, which shaped my storytelling approach. I also offer a seamless photo+video bundle with my trusted videographer, so your day is captured beautifully—without any chaos.

Important Note: I don’t expect you to be a professional model! My style is perfect for those who feel a bit camera-shy. I help bring out your natural selves with fun and easy prompts, never holding you in a pose for more than 30 seconds. This dynamic flow ensures your photos are genuine, laid-back, and whimsical. In three words: Joyful, Organized, Creative.

    From the moment we booked Focus on the Moment, they were extremely quick to respond to all of our questions and provided incredibly knowledgeable guidance throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, they truly went above and beyond, blending seamlessly into the crowd to capture all the special moments we wanted - from our first look on the rooftop bar to the dance floor celebrations. Their passion and excitement for our special day was palpable, and the final photos exceeded our wildest expectations. We highly recommend Focus on the Moment to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated, and genuinely caring wedding photography team.

    Dylan, thank you so much for this beautiful note! Photographing you and Jessa was an absolute joy from start to finish. It means the world to hear how much you both loved the photos. Wishing you two all the happiness (and more rooftop sunsets!) in this new chapter together.

    Elena from Focus on the Moment was an amazing choice for our small and intimate wedding! She was so helpful with not only making our vision come to life but also helping us find fantastic vendors to use for our special day. We could not have done it without her!

    Elena is a very delightful photographer to work with. She is has a very creative eye and thought process, and is able to get from great concepts to the delivery of gorgeous and beautiful photos. She is very professional and is willing to go the extra mile to get ALL the shots. I was so pleased with the photos she took of my wedding florals; I think she must have sprinkled some fairy dust on those flowers to get the gorgeous images that she did. I would choose to work with her again and again.
