I will be taking photos of the whole wedding; including get ready, reception, ceremony, focusing on photojournalism. Wedding package start at $500.

I shoot with an artistic documentary style and create a unique storytelling experience for when you look back years later. My goal is to let you live "in the moment" and have fun on your big day, and let me capture those candid moments you might miss! I am your photographer if you love photography, design, and creativity.

As a storyteller, I love to capture emotions, smiles, happiness and the warm atmosphere of the wedding in beautiful and endless moments. All couples are unique and I take great pride in understanding what is important to You. I have been photographing weddings for over 12 years and in that time I've shot more than 450 weddings in the U.S, Iceland, Italy, Sweden, Indonesia (Bali), France and other. I'm so honored to win numerous awards from the most prestigious wedding associations such as Fearless Photographers, ISPWP and Masters of Wedding Photography.

My name is Hendrick. I have a brilliant wife, an amazing son, and a wonderful daughter. I've been incredibly fortunate, but feel especially blessed to have been gifted a creative eye. Stylistically, I offer documentary photojournalism with a touch of dramatic flair. I seek to be as unobtrusive as possible come time to capture moments of raw emotion. My unwavering goal is always to create a deep personal connection between the subjects in my images and those viewing them. Oh, and trust me, you'll have fun. Lots and lots of fun. ;-)

I'm a natural wanderer who loves listening and capturing stories of people. Weddings are more than just the dress and decorations, it's about telling a story the best way possible and showing you how beautiful your day is, especially the love you have for each other and your loved ones.

I'm there to capture all those moments, the way you look at each other, the way your friends laugh and celebrate your joyous day, and it's my job to make it even more magical through my lens, rain or shine.

At this point in my career I have captured over 150 love stories and I'm not ready to stop anytime soon.

As your New York City elopement photographer, I promise to be your biggest fan. The proof is in the pictures.

I treat photography as the art form it should be and not just a business. I spent years perfecting my skill set, and always trying to push myself to new limits. My goal is to tell a timeless story with my work. I am extremely passionate about my craft and love the possibility that my photos can transport people back in time to relive their most amazing day of days.

Now some quick tidbits on me as a person. I love traveling, hiking, biking, and any other kind of adventure you can throw my way, I'm a foodie and pretty good around the grill, I'm a huge fan of the arts, from any genre of music, books, movies, and traditional art, a dog lover, and most of all I'm a romantic. All this may sound a little personal, but I am letting you see who I am because this is how I view the world and this shows through my photos.

Your wedding day is about fun, love and bringing your favorite people together! As an artist and as a wedding photographer, I want to create photos that tell the story of who you are as a couple and what an epic adventure your wedding day is, whether big or small!

You are in love and want your wedding day to reflect your unique style and personalities, have fun and not stress out about the little details. You want to be surrounded by people who mean the most and not spend hours posing! I promise to skip the cheesy poses and I will let you enjoy your cocktail hour because, well, it's fun and you should be celebrating with your guests and tasting all the food;)

I started Elvira Kalviste Photography to document joy, capture real stories of love and make you look like the badass couple you are;) My studio has grown since to include amazingly talented associate photographer Yunika and associate videographer Angel.

Elvira Kalviste Photography is proud to donate a portion of each booking to organizations fighting to protect our environment and wildlife!!

Every couple's love story is worth remembering.

Why? Because their marriage matters.

When two people stand in front of their closest friends and family to exchange vows, they're not simply hosting a fun party for the people they love. They're making forever promises that knit their lives together. It's special, intimate, even sacred.

That's why I want to be there.

I want couples to have enduring reminders of the love they have and the promises they've made.

And more than that, I want them to celebrate all their favorite moments with their guests:

- Remember their grandparents out on the dance floor, cutting a rug like they used to in the old days.
- Cherish the moment their best friends teared up seeing the bride in her dress for the first time.
- Instantly recall what it felt like during every important moment of their day.

That's why I photograph weddings.

And that's why I want to photograph yours.

Photographing life's beautiful moments and winning over grumpy two year olds since 2009. My goal is for a perfect stranger to be moved to tears, burst into laughter, smile a real honest to god smile when they look at your wedding photos. No pretense, nothing fake. We are surrounded by everyday magic - we just need to open our eyes.

Couples who want to document all the fun, zany, poignant, and not-so-traditional moments of their wedding: You've found your photographer match!

My goal is to capture your offbeat, wonderfully unique wedding no matter where in the world-or HOW in the world-you're celebrating. As a photojournalist who fancies plenty of creativity mixed with emotional candids, I'm able to deliver one-of-a-kind shots. My clients lean toward the nontraditional: Quirky, joyful, adventure-driven celebrations and photographs that make you look twice. And if you're not quite sure what you want to do for your wedding yet, I have dozens of ideas up my sleeve. Together, we'll brainstorm something that's absolutely magical.

I'm based in both New York and California, and work across the U.S. and worldwide. When not photographing engagements, weddings, and elopements, I work as a travel and humanitarian photographer in remote parts of the globe. I've worked on every continent except Antarctica, and rarely say no to an adventure. Some of my favorite hobbies include scuba diving, camping, cliff jumping, and hiking-many of which often make their way into my clients' photos, especially when we share common travel interests. After living in several different countries and photographing adventurous couples in dozens of parts of the world, I know there are still many adventures yet to come! So let's collaborate and capture something that's completely and utterly you.
