Introduction: I love hearing, sharing, and capturing stories- especially weddings or intimate family moments. I'm always honored to get asked to capture a special day or moment that I wouldn't have gotten to do otherwise.

Elena blends her natural talent for capturing big and small moments with a technical expertise in filming and a true mastery of storytelling. I am incredibly grateful that we asked her to document our pre-wedding celebrations with family and friends. The two videos she created for us so perfectly capture the day. My husband and I tried to play down the formality of our wedding festivities, but Elena helped us see the beauty in truly embracing it. Her excitement for our marriage and her role in documenting the celebrations made us feel loved and at ease. Elena is incredibly organized and efficient in her workflow. She had video edits pulled together faster than we could get her music recommendations! She was extremely modest and asked for feedback throughout the editing process. Our request to add a few more specific friends and family members into the videos was quickly followed up with seamless edits. When we played the final videos for our parents, they received a round of applause. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they moved me to tears. Following the celebrations filmed by Elena, my husband and I got married in a very small ceremony out of town. Upon receiving the raw footage captured from this event, we immediately handed it over to Elena. She viewed it and recommended creating two videos: one of our vows and one of the day overall. We agreed and she edited absolutely beautiful sequences of both!

Elena filmed and edited all of the behinds-the-scenes work videos on workforce.io, in addition to a common craft style video that introduces our startup company. Our customers remember us by that video. Common craft was a new style for her, but she learned quickly and produced a fantastic piece. Elena's ability to tell compelling stories has helped her capture what it's like to be a welder, line cook, and forklift operator - in 2 minutes each! She is a filmmaker and curious ethnographer at heart, which helps unveil more than just surface details, no matter the topic area. In the time Elena films with you, she gets to know you and tells your story in a way you could not. She also is quick to turn around edited video, and very open to feedback. In the end, she always delivers energetic, high quality work. In addition to her professional qualities, Elena is a really pleasant person to work with. She's collaborative, creative and optimistic. I have worked with her over 4 years, and without hesitation, I'd recommend Elena for any of your video needs - from weddings to business. Oh, and ask her about her jazz singing!

FAQs

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
We are creatives with our own sense of style and aesthetic. While we can absolutely change our aesthetic to meet customer preference, I'd suggest that the customer go with the provider who most closely fits their own personal aesthetic. I guarantee you, if you let the creative do what they do best- they will exert much more passion and effort towards the project.
