Welcome! I love capturing special moments between couples and families 🤍 Hi I'm Oana

Thanks for visiting my page!
(10)

I have a passion for videography and my goal is to make beautiful, fun videos that you can look back on and remember that special time or event in your life.

I want to share something thats been on my heart for quite some time now...

I've made the decision to put a pause on my photography career. I know that's pretty abrupt, but this whole year the Lord has been putting it on my heart.

This season I am in, needs me to be fully present at home, with my kids, with my husband.
My kids are only little for a bit and I will never get this time back with them. I'm trusting that when God wants me to come back to photography, He will provide abundantly.

With that being said, all bookings are closed. I am currently working on finishing all the wedding galleries from the fall.

If you need to get in touch with me, please text, email, or use my website which will stay active for a few more months. I'm staying on social media for the rest of the week to tie up some loose ends and then I will be logging off .

Aly & Will 🤍💍

Gosh, where do I begin?
Everything from your love story to yesterday's wedding day is nothing short of answered prayers. 🙏

It was such an honor to capture these moments for you two.
I can't wait to see what God has in store for you.
Continue putting Him first.

Ah Monday. We meet again, and you know what? I'm not mad about it.
I love Mondays! Monday is my reset button.

My planner is all filled out, groceries are done, meals are planned. Lord willing it will be a good week 🙏

Reminiscing about this sweet day 🤍

Alyssa & Sinas' wedding gallery is almost done, and I always get so excited for my couples to get their wedding photos 😁

I remember waiting so eagerly for my wedding photos 🥰

Yesterday was a dream ✨️
Congratulations Evan & Kate! 🤍💍

This weather is perfect for getting things done around the house... or at least that's how I see it 😁

Also, baby Jack took an awesome nap this morning, which allowed me to get some editing done 🙌

Here are some favorites from Alyssa and Sinas' library date 🤍🥰

Spent the last day of April with the most beautiful family capturing their newest addition. Welcome sweet Lilianna 🌸

Hi, it's me, Oana ( pronounced Wana) 😊

With some new faces around here, I thought I would take the opportunity to say hello 👋 🙂

I'm the girl behind Elle West Film + Photo 📸

I'm also a wife and a mommy to three kiddos 👧👱‍♀️👶... the youngest being only 2 months old, which is one of the reasons why I'm not very consistent with posting on here 😌

I've made the decision to close my bookings for the rest of the year. I have lots of weddings that I'm so excited to capture in the next months/summer/ fall and a few family sessions 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 But ultimately, I want to be more present at home and spend the summer making fun memories with my family 🤍

So, with all that being said 😁 i also want to thank you all for your support. It means so much! 🙏

E + K 🤍
To say I'm excited for their wedding is an understatement

04/02/2023

I've been wanting to post and share this sweet moment from last night's engagement session all day, but I kept getting distracted. So here it is 🩶

Michael and Paige are the sweetest humans, and I am so excited to capture their wedding day 👰‍♀🤵

I'm going to go back to taking Sundays off social media so I'll be back on Monday 😊

Have a blessed Sunday ✨️

Dear 2022....
... you were the year that I took a leap of faith. Leaving my stable job to pursue photography full-time...and wow was God ever so faithful.

2022 was my most successful / busiest & most challenging year to date. I've learned so much as a photographer, but also as a person.

I was hoping to end the year with a few more posts and some fun reels, but sometimes things don't go as planned and that's okay.

I do want to truly say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all my clients. You are the reason I am able to do any of this. Your support means so much to me and my family.

Moving forward there are a few things I want to do differently to be able to offer my clients the best experience. I'm hoping to implement these changes in the next few months.

As most of you know, my husband and I are expecting our 3rd baby very soon, so you might notice I'll be sharing more personal things on here till my 2023 season starts up again.

Happy New Year & God Bless

Oana

Mr & Mrs / A winter wonderland ❄️🤍

Yesterday was so dreamy! Elisabeta and Nicholas braved the cold and I was able to capture some of the sweetest moments between them 💕

They had a cozy reception at the beautiful Sirocco Golf Club with stunning views, surrounded by family and friends.

Elisabeta and Nicholas I can't wait to see what God has in store for you two 🤎

10/25/2022

To all my 2023 couples...I'm so excited to work with you and capture your love 🤍

I can't believe last year I was thinking how great it would be to venture out and book more couples/engagements/weddings and God totally heard my prayer and has blessed me so graciously

On that note, I finally finished editing my first wedding 🙌😁🥳 I know I say this a lot but man I seriously have the best, most patient and understanding clients🤎

10/22/2022

Well its official....

the snow fall today confirmed for me that the busy season of photography is coming to an end and it's time to cozy up at home and get ready a different busy season 🍼💙

Last night with these two beautiful humans ✨️🤎💍

09/27/2022

Getting ready to sit down and edit, but I just had to share this sweet moment from last night's session 🤎✨️

I'm so excited for all the fall sessions coming up 🍂

09/21/2022

How stunning is Kelsey you guys 🥰 the makeup, the jewelry, the hair, the outfit... I'm obsessed with it all ❤

I captured Kelsey and Herbs engagement photos on a cold, overcast March afternoon, but these two rocked it! 💍

I'm so happy to be able to finally share their session and I'm so excited for their intimate wedding day coming soon 👰‍♀🤵‍♂

Sweet in-home newborn session 🤎

Not going to lie, editing these photos I couldn't help but think that in just a few months I'll have a newborn 🤍🥺

09/19/2022

One week down, one more to go....or at least I hope 🤞

This past week my hubby started the renovations in our home and I've been going back and forth between my parents place and coming in the city for sessions.

I'm happy to have a session free week this week. I REALLY need to catch up on editing and I'm hoping my hubby will be done the renovations so we can go back home ☺️

I have my laptop and hard drive with me so if you've been waiting to hear back from me, or waiting for your gallery. This week is the week. Let's hope! 💪

09/12/2022

They did it! 👰‍♀🤵‍♂
...these two beautiful humans got married this weekend and I was there to capture all the moment. Like this one, which is one of my favorites 🤎

09/08/2022

Getting married in 2023? 💍

I am officially accepting bookings and couldn't be more excited 😁

Wedding photography has been something I've been dipping my fingers in and I love it! 😊

So get in touch! I look forward to hearing all about your special day 🤵‍♂👰‍♀

Back & White Love 🖤🤍

I've got 3 weddings this month which makes me so so so HAPPY 😊

Weddings are so much fun! I love seeing the couples look and feel their best, love meeting family members, hearing their speeches, watching the first dances...

Ahh what is there not to love 🤗

My husband thought I was crazy to book a photoshoot the day we fly back from our family vacation, BUT it was definitely worth it.
