Timeless Stories,
Authentically Told
Editorial wedding and elopement photography for couples who value artistry, intimacy, and the beauty of genuine moments.
Where Fashion
Meets Fine Art
Drawing from a background in fashion photography, I bring an editorial eye and a deep reverence for light to every celebration I document. My approach is unhurried and intentional — creating space for real emotion to unfold naturally.
Based in Charleston's French Quarter, I work with couples who see their wedding day not as a production, but as a deeply personal story worth telling beautifully.

Engagement & Bridal Sessions
A relaxed session designed to build our connection before the wedding day. We'll find beautiful light and let the session unfold naturally — no stiff posing, just you two.
Lena has an extraordinary ability to make you feel completely at ease while creating images that look like they belong in a magazine. Every single photo from our wedding tells a story — we relive the day every time we open our gallery.Caroline & James Whitfield

Natural Light,
Editorial Eye
I believe the most powerful images are born from real moments — not manufactured ones. My style blends the sophistication of editorial fashion photography with the warmth and spontaneity of documentary storytelling.
Every frame is intentional, composed with an awareness of light, texture, and emotion. The result is a collection that feels both elevated and deeply personal — images you'll treasure not because they're perfect, but because they're true.
