Welcome


Hi, I’m Alena


I fell in love with photography through storytelling and preserving moments naturally.

Elopements are where that feeling comes alive the most, no timelines and no pressure, just space to be fully present with each other.

I document your day in a way that’s authentic and natural, blending digital and 35mm film so your memories feel timeless, textured, and real.
