By walking away from their previous work assignments,
Nik and Elena were able to focus on full time photography
and video production beginning in 2015. They are
based in beautiful Virginia Beach, and the couples they've
worked with are from all over the world. Their most
adventurous couples are from Boston, D.C., Mexico,
Jamaica, and New York. Traveling to these unforgettable
locations is a passion of theirs, so it never feels like they
are working.
A fun fact about Nik and Elena is that they are both from
the same country (Kazakhstan).
They have many friends in common and actually met each other
in Virginia Beach (what are the chances!) and it was love at first sight! Their parents live 20 minutes apart and love seeing their children so happy.
