Elen Studio Photography

Elen Studio Photography is a Derby‑based specialist in wedding photography and cinematic wedding films. Led by award‑winning photographer Elena Bocharnikova and filmmaker Yury, our creative team brings 15+ years of experience to every wedding, treating your photographs and films as art rather than mere snapshots. We focus on the connection between the bride and groom, the atmosphere of the day and the small, telling moments that make each wedding unforgettable. Why choose Elen Studio? We combine a contemporary, timeless aesthetic with confident technical craft. Elena’s approach blends unobtrusive reportage with beautifully posed portraits so you get honest, emotive documentary images alongside elegant, magazine‑style bridal and couple shots. Yury’s filmmaking brings a cinematic eye to the day—trailer teasers, 5–7 minute highlights and optional full‑length ceremony and speeches—so the movement, voices and atmosphere you remember are preserved alongside your stills. How we work: every booking begins with pre‑wedding consultations so we understand your priorities, favourite styles and the flow of your day. Many couples choose an engagement photoshoot first — a relaxed session that builds confidence in front of the camera and helps us discover the kinds of images you love. On the wedding day we provide full‑day coverage, working as a discreet, professional team to capture preparations, the ceremony, family groups, couple portraits and the evening party. Each image is hand‑edited and delivered via a password‑protected online gallery and high‑resolution USB; bespoke wedding albums and printed products are designed by us to a premium finish. Our promise is to make you feel at ease so your photos and films reflect genuine emotion, joy and connection. Whether you want a classic bridal portrait, natural documentary reportage or a cinematic highlights film, Elen Studio tailors the creative approach to your day. Based in Derby and serving the East Midlands, we take pride in helping couples preserve their wedding story with elegance, style and warmth.
