Documentary Wedding Photographers Serving Brooklyn, NYC, Westchester & Beyond
Capturing you
In the living & in the loving of real moments
The tender details,
those fleeting sparks of emotion.
If you’re seeking something deeper, something more. Something artfully captured. Something wholeheartedly true to you – we’ve got you.
Choosing a wedding photographer isn’t just about finding someone who takes great photos—it’s about finding someone you trust to capture the real, unfiltered moments without turning your day into a production. With 11 years of experience, we know how to blend into the rhythm of your wedding, letting things unfold naturally while staying ready for whatever comes next.
We don’t do stiff poses or overproduced shots. No recreating Pinterest boards or forcing moments that don’t feel like you. What we do best is catching the in-between—the glance across the room, the way your hands find each other, the quiet pause before the next big moment.
Our couples often call us kind, and that might be the compliment we cherish most. While we bring professionalism and experience, at the heart of it all, we care about the people in front of our lens just as much as the art we create.
Weddings are beautiful—the stylish details, the stunning spaces, the energy of the day. But what stays with you are the people, the deep connections, the way it felt to be surrounded by your inner circle. That’s the story we’re here to tell.

Hello
I’m ELVIRA
(EHL – VEE - RAH)
With over a decade of experience as a creative documentary wedding photographer, my passion has been – and always will be – witnessing people in their element and capturing the deep connections they hold dear. At Elvira Kalviste Photography, we love the lovers. The couples who aren’t afraid to boldly express themselves, creatively and emotionally. Who have a spontaneous sense of adventure but still love a quiet, tender moment.
Who understand love is anything but perfect & made all the more beautiful because of it
Life isn’t a Pinterest board and neither are our photos. That’s our promise.

"What really makes her special isn't JUST the tangible qualities in her photos but the intangible ones. There's something transportive about her work that's hard to really describe until you look back at your wedding photos for yourself and relive the best moments, laughing or smiling along!"

"Elvira's photo's are absolutely fantastic, which is obvious when you look through her work. What might not be obvious is her blend of being highly organized but equally laid back which makes taking photos with her an absolute pleasure."

"I'm not sure what kind of secret, elven, pixie dust magic is hidden inside her camera, but every photo she gets is pure gold."
