Kind Words
What my wedding photography and videography couples are saying.
“It’s hard to put into words just how happy we are to have had Elora capture our wedding photos and video. From the moment we signed with Elora we just knew it was the right fit. She takes the time to get to know who you are, what your vision for your wedding is.
By the time your wedding comes you know you have a friend ready to help capture your big day. And then from there, Elora works wonders. Her creativity in how she put together our pictures and video is just so beyond anything I could have imagined and truly one of a kind.
Looking through her portfolio I can imagine we aren’t the only happy couple that has worked with Elora.”
-Aman & Taylor, 2023
“Elora truly was a gem as our wedding videographer! We couldn't have asked for anyone better. Our small little micro-wedding took place in Banff in the beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains, and Elora captured every enchanting moment of our special day.
When we received the final videos, we were absolutely blown away. We've played them countless times, and with each time, it's like we're right back in those magical moments. We love the videos so much!
Thank you, Elora, for gifting us with an invaluable treasure that allows us to relive the most beautiful day of our lives. Your work radiates your talent and passion. We're so grateful to have had you as an integral part of our wedding journey.”
-Cierra & Jenna, 2023
“EASIEST DECISION EVER. We hired Elora as our videographer for our wedding, and we could not have been happier. Throughout the entire wedding planning phase, Elora went above and beyond to help us with local recommendations and other super clutch tips and pearls.
She was an absolutely pleasure to work with and get to know, going out of her way to check in, provide personalized (and lengthy) responses to our questions, and get to know us personally to ensure that she could incorporate our vision into her creation.Prior to the wedding, Elora took us on an "adventure session" to get some extra shots before the big day.
She took such care to ensure that we selected an activity that spoke to "us" and worked around that seamlessly. She was so gracious and did such a great job of making us feel comfortable.When we got married in July 2023, and she was also working with her assistant, Muzza. He was also an absolute pleasure to work with and get to know.
On the wedding day, Elora and her team were absolute professionals. They were so friendly and kind to us and our guests. They did a fantastic job of receding into the background, but still used their tremendous talent to capture unbelievably precious footage from the day.We could not recommend Elora more highly.”
-Craig & Victoria, 2023
“We had an incredible experience working with Elora as our wedding videographer. From the moment we found her website, it was clear that she was extremely talented, as her portfolio displayed a wide range of high-quality work.
After watching our wedding video, we were thrilled to see that Elora perfectly captured the most important parts of our special day, as well as other moments that we missed during the blur of the wedding day. Her skill and attention to detail were evident, and we are grateful to be able to look back on all of these memories.
Elora was also very creative and had a lot of great ideas for different locations to capture amazing shots. She encouraged us to try new things and talked us through the shots, making the video process so much fun. In addition to her videography skills, Elora was also very friendly and made us feel relaxed, comfortable, and able to have fun in front of the camera, even though we are usually a bit awkward.
She worked seamlessly with our photographer team and ended up becoming someone we consider a friend. Her warm and welcoming personality made the whole experience so much more enjoyable.
Elora valued our input and prioritized us throughout the process, and even gave us suggestions for things to do around Golden during our stay. We cannot recommend Elora enough as a wedding videographer. She was a vital part of making our special day perfect, and we are so grateful for all of her hard work and talent. Thank you, Elora!”

“WOW. JUST WOW. My wife and I had many discussions about where would be best to focus our budget for our big day, and we're so totally over the moon that we decided to invest in videography with Elora May.
Before booking, we watched all of her portfolio online and loved the feel and energy in each and every video, we felt it completely the matched the vibe we wanted to go for. From our initial video call with Elora, it was like she was one of the family, she put our mind at ease whenever it came to any questions we had, and she was equally as excited as we were about the whole shebang!
Not only is Elora very talented at what she does, she is also just an amazing human being to have there on your special day, such a warm, fun, positive individual, I'd recommend her 1000%! If you're uncertain on whether or not to book her, just take a look at her previous work and it'll make the decision for you.
Thank you Elora, our wedding video we will cherish forever, we cannot thank you enough!”
-Harry & Darci, 2022
“If you are trying to decide if a Videographer is something you want to include in your wedding plan, I was once you! And I can tell you that without a shadow of a doubt, Elora as your Videographer is a must.
The piece of magic Elora curated for us cannot be quantified or put into words. The most common sentiment I hear from people is their wedding went by too quickly, in a blink of an eye. A day that you spent months or even years planning, is over in a few hours. Thanks to Elora we are able to revisit that day over and over.
We'll never be able to thank her enough for the time she took to get to know us as a couple and the absolute artistry behind the scenes. The finished product is a masterpiece and now one of my most prized possessions.”
-Jenne and Bree, 2021
“Elora was the videographer for my husband and my wedding back in November 2021, and I don't have enough good things to say about both her as a person, and as a vendor for our special day.
Elora was gracious and kind from the very beginning of the process and hopped on video calls (due to COVID) to get to know us and our relationship to best capture the wedding. You can tell she really cares about the people she's working with, and wants to know the couple and their quirks/passions/what makes their relationship unique.
On the day of the wedding itself, Elora was such a calm and kind spirit to have in the rooms getting ready with myself as the bride, as well as for my husband. She made me feel so at ease having a camera following us around to capture those once in a lifetime moments.When we headed out for photographs/video shots outside, she lent me her coat and boots to ensure I stayed warm (it was November after all!).
The video (both the teaser, and the full film) were everything we could have imagined. I truly think that a Videographer as talented as Elora is a worthwhile investment, and gave us the most wonderful keepsake from the wedding. The videos truly captured mine and Ethan's relationship, and while originally I had wanted this footage to be more private for my husband and I - I haven't been able to resist showing everyone in our lives! It's just so, so good.
Thank you again from Ethan + Eleanor for your dedication to your craft, and being such a wonderful person to celebrate our special day. We cannot recommend Elora enough!”
-Ethan & Eleanor, 2021
“I cannot recommend Elora highly enough! If I were to write down every reason you should book with her it would be pages so I will leave you with some highlights.
She is professional, friendly, detail oriented, creative, and prepared. You feel an instant connection from the first time you meet her and you can tell that she truly cares about each of her couples. It is not just a business transaction she truly cares about who you are and wants to deliver your dream film. You watch her brain work as she envisions the shots she will get when you discuss your upcoming wedding. She made us feel comfortable, kept us loose and laughing, and works phenomenally with photographers/DJS/any other vendors to make sure everything runs smoothly and is perfect for you. Our teaser film was delivered so quickly after the wedding and took us right back to that magical day.
When we received the wedding video we were speechless. It was better than we imagined it could be. The day goes by so fast and adrenaline is running high! There is no way you can remember every moment and detail. Photos are great but to have your words, laughs, whispers captured from the happiest day of your life is priceless. Elora is a who you want to trust with your special day.”
-Taylor & Jake, 2021
“There are not enough kind words you can say about Elora. From our very first time meeting her via zoom, we knew that she had the vibe that put us in our comfort zone. The entire time we navigated the pandemic, Elora kept us updated with options, Canadian happenings, and optimistic outlooks. Finally, when the borders opened, we were able to come to Canada from the US and work with Elora.
There were three things that made Elora cement herself as an essential part of our day. First, her ability to work with our photographers in tandem was amazing. Both groups were able to openly talk about certain shots they liked, needed, and made it feel all very fluid for us as subjects. Second, she was great at keeping my wife and I natural and loose during a time where we normally would not. I do not mind the spotlight, but Elora was able to talk to Lauren throughout the process, keeping her smiling and engaged.
Finally, the speed and quality of the final project delivered was amazing! From the focus, the shots, the audio, and all the way to the editing made for a great product. The movie has brought joy to us that were there and was great for families that were not able to make it.
Bonus! On top of everything for our wedding day, two short days later Elora made the sunrise climb up Tent Ridge Trail with us and our photographers for an adventure session. She captured more great footage, kept the same positive attitude, and it felt like we got to know her even better. Overall, Elora went to great lengths for us, from climbing, joking, and feeling like fast friends, all the way to risking a bridge closure on her commute to capture our day. We cannot commend, nor recommend her work enough to anyone and everyone.”
-Lauren & Cody, 2021
“If I could give 10/5 stars I would! Elora is one of the kindest people you will ever meet! Not only was the film she created absolutely amazing and perfect for us, she was also able to "saved the day" when our helicopter was cancelled due to being out on a search and rescue... she stepped up and drove us to an amazing sunset view for our couple shots. She captured us and our adventure sides perfectly and truly created our little magical masterpiece! We couldn't be happier xox THANK YOU!”
-Erin & Tobi, 2021
“We didn’t plan for it initially, but having Elora with us during our elopement was one of the best decisions we made!
Elora has a talent for capturing authentic moments as well as the beautiful scenery we were in. We now have the most gorgeous and intimate film to remember our day with!”
-Leah & Garret, 2021
“Elora was an absolute dream to work with. What started out as - what seemed like - a tough decision, easily became one of our best decisions of the wedding. Not only did she beautifully and perfectly capture our day, but her contagious personality was a true highlight throughout the wedding weekend.
From our very first email interaction with Elora, we knew we had made the right choice. Her passion, knowledge and overall positivity extended beyond the role of videographer. She went out of her way to get to know Dan and I, suggested officiants in the area when we were struggling to find one and excitedly jumped in when we asked if she'd photograph our Friday welcome reception. Throughout our wedding day, she made Dan and I, our wedding party and family super comfortable while filming. Aside from her excitement and humor, you hardly knew she was there.
Both the teaser & final video far exceeded our expectations! I've probably watched our wedding video a hundred times and each time am blown away at all the love, creativity and humor that Elora pumped into our short film. She beautifully told the story of Dan and I, made me both laugh and cry and captured the very best moments of our big day. We are beyond thankful that we get to relive this day over and over through her incredible work.
We'd highly recommend Elora and will continue to look for any opportunity to work with her (or just hang out with her in general, haha!) in the future. Vow renewals 8.10.2029? Thank you for everything, Elora!”
-Erin & Dan, 2020
“Our plan was to elope all along, knowing that it was top priority to find someone who could capture our day for not only sharing with friends and family, but to deliver professional grade photos and video as a lifelong keepsake. The more we tore apart social media platforms, the more we came back to Elora - and she did not disappoint!
Simply, it was an amazing experience dealing with Elora! She was enthusiastic and completely in tune with our expectations. She provided our must haves, while still grabbing the extra shots above and beyond to fulfill capturing the emotion on our wedding day. Elora delivered a stunning package of pictures and video in a timely manner, with excellent correspondence along the way too!
It is also worth mentioning how exceptional Elora was for us - Covid restrictions due to Provincial measures meant we ended up cancelling our venue 27 days prior to our wedding day. Our all inclusive Elopement Package was gone, leaving us with nothing but Elora and a Commissioner.
Elora did not hesitate to help us out. She immediately went on scouting missions to provide us pictures of different Covid friendly locations, and give us an idea of how to solve our venue issue since we were a province away. Her local connections gave us leads on hair & makeup, flowers, catering, and ultimately our new private venue which ended up fitting us perfectly.
Our day was saved, we owe it to Elora and can't thank her enough!”
-Bryan & Ashley, 2021
“Initially I was on the fence about booking a videographer for our wedding, but after working with Elora, I am so glad I did!! Elora is truly an artist, the videography was breathtaking and we are so incredibly happy with the finished products!
Both the teaser video and the final video are unbelievable, she totally understood and captured our vision. Elora’s music choices were on point and perfectly suited the videos. Even though I’ve watch the videos tens if not hundreds of times, they still bring a tear to my eye!
Elora made us feel so comfortable and most of all was super fun to work with! We received so many comments from our guests complimenting Elora on her professionalism and how wonderfully the videos turned out.
We also planned a day after session with Elora and our Photographer where they took us to some amazing local locations for some mountain biking shots. It was so much fun, we had a blast, and the biking segments in the videos were awesome!
We love our videos, they are so beautiful and ever better than we could have imagined. We will treasure them always. I am so happy we decided to book with Elora, the videos have been something really special to share with our friends and family who weren’t able to join us on our wedding day.
We can’t recommend Elora highly enough. Thank you for documenting our beautiful day and for some super fun mountain biking! We can’t wait to come back and do some more biking in Golden! Thank you again!”
-Alanna & Kevin, 2019
“Elora's videography work is captivating, touching, and so perfectly and elegantly put together! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and has such a keen eye for moments. She is a videographer that is entirely "at home" behind her video lens, who makes you feel comfortable as she captures you, and intuitively knows how much guidance to offer you.
Our jaws (literally) dropped watching the video she put together for our wedding. We are still in awe of the extreme detail, musical touches, and features she added to make it one of our most cherished keepsakes. Any person (or couple) that has the honour and privilege of working with Elora will not be disappointed. Thank you, Elora, for your absolutely beautiful work.”
