I have been photographing and editing events since 2009 when I was lucky enough do this professionally. I love shooting Engagements, Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Portraits and other Special Events and get to work with other wonderful, and creative photographers and videographers. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to do something I love and have passion for!.
I work primarily in the tri-state area, but love to travel and have photographed in many other states. I am a people person and I really enjoy getting to know each of my clients. This is why I am often told that my clients feel very comfortable with me which is probably why most of my work comes from recommendations.

Elana photographed my wedding on 10/15/21. Besides being an absolute pleasure to work with she captured every single beautiful moment in the most non intrusive way. She wrote a story with her photos. Thank you Elana. Kevin and I are so impressed with your work.

Elana was a JOY to work with- I highly recommend her!! Elana was the photographer for our son's bar mitzvah. She was responsive and very easy to reach. She took the most amazing photographs of my family, my son and the event... it was literally so fun to look through all the photos, each one was just beautiful! She caught so many candid and spontaneous moments. I can write so many superlatives but honestly, the photos speak 1,000 words. I am just so happy we chose her as our photographer - you won't regret choosing her!!

Elana was amazing to work with! She is professional and super fun! As an event planner, there’s nothing like having a great photographer to not only capture all of the small details but also the overall feel of the event and Elana does just that! Her images are absolutely gorgeous, artistic and original. I look forward to working with her again!

Elana did an amazing job for our son’s Bar Mitzvah. I had first met and booked Elana pre-Covid based on her pictures, reviews and how personable she was upon meeting my family. Her prices are fair and reasonable especially considering the many services she provides including not only photos but also montages and album designs. (I got so many compliments on our montage). Once Covid hit, our plans changed including venue and timing and Elana worked with us completely and was so responsive to every email, text and phone call. We received our pictures back from her quicker than I expected and were

Elana did a wonderful job as photographer for our son’s bar mitzvah. Before the event, she took lovely photos of my three boys on another day in Battery Park. At the ceremony, we got all of the key shots and people, and the party had a nice mix of candida and posed shots. Elana delivered the files in a very timely way. We are still working on the album, but I’m confident that it will be lovely.

Elana took beautiful photos of our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. She was easy to work with and very flexible in changing the time of the event due to covid. She was safe and respectful of our guests and got such great shots. We had a few pictures that needed editing and she fixed them perfectly!

Elana did an amazing job photographing our wedding!! She took so many great photos and really captured our day so beautifully! The turn around time to get the photos was quick, especially considering the volume of photos we received. She was also very flexible with our location changes that were required due to the pandemic. I highly recommend Elana Goodridge Photography for any event! Thank you so much, Elana. Your work will be in our home for years to come. :)

Love our photos Elana captured from our Bat Mitzvah! She knew how to photographically freeze the special moments, the little details, and the exciting events. The whole night is recorded in fun photos that we have loved looking back on! The quality of the photos themselves are really beautiful. They are artfully done but maintain the genuine feel of the moment! Look at her gallery and you'll love her work too!

Absolutely loved Elana, she is so amazing and natural with her work! She found the best spot for us to take pictures at and was willing to travel and wake up early in the morning to beat the summer heat!! Not to even mention the amazing pictures that she sent us! Couldn't be happier, thank you so much Elana!

Five stars on every level since the day I first messaged Elana. It doesn't matter if your priority is professionalism, flexiblity for scheduling or pricing, photography and editing talent, or reliability because she's got all of it. She responds to messages within hours, never days, and was able to meet my fiance and I just days after I contacted… her. She took our vision, priorities and budget, and put together our own wedding/engagement package with incomparable value. Hiring her for our engagement photos and wedding day has by far been the most stress free part of wedding planning. We
