About Eleanor
A decade of learning how to disappear at weddings
I am Eleanor - a documentary wedding photographer based in New York City. I have spent over a decade learning how to be fully present at a wedding without ever interrupting it. I know how fast the day moves, and I know the images couples return to twenty years later are the ones where nobody was performing.
My approach is quiet and intentional. I do not pose you constantly or direct the room. I move through the day at its own rhythm, anticipate moments before they form, and edit for emotional continuity - not for visual trends that age.
This Is For You If
- You value real emotion over heavy posing
- You care about atmosphere and visual storytelling
- You want gentle guidance without constant interruption
- You want images that feel timeless, not trend-dependent
- You want to be fully present on the day, not choreographed
- You want someone who disappears into the background
Client Words
★★★★★
“We looked through the gallery at midnight the week after our wedding and cried for an hour. Eleanor caught moments we did not even know happened - my grandfather and my dad, just standing quietly by the window together.”
★★★★★
“The gallery felt cinematic and emotional without ever looking overprocessed. Every image is exactly how that day felt - not how a photographer told it to look.”
★★★★★
“We were nervous about feeling awkward in front of a camera. Eleanor moved through the entire day quietly and the result is the most natural, honest set of photographs I have ever seen from a wedding.”
★★★★★
“Worth every cent. We have friends who spent less and regret it. The photographs are the one thing from our wedding we will have forever and Eleanor understood that without us needing to explain it.”
★★★★★
“She arrived calm, stayed invisible, and delivered something extraordinary. Multiple guests asked us who the photographer was before the day was even over.”
★★★★★
“From the first call to the final gallery, everything was exactly as described. Clear communication, a genuine editorial eye, and work we are endlessly proud of.”
