This was a very anticipated e-session with Richelle and Jay! We rescheduled it a couple of times due to Winter storm and cold weather and I am so glad we did! The Spring colors and the sun rays matched Richelle and Jay's personalities so well:) We explored Washington Square Park and the neighborhood around and we were able to find some unexpected locations! Can't wait to document Richelle and Jay's wedding later this year which, no doubt, will be as fun as this colorful e-session!

Emily and Matthew surprised everyone by getting married in Hawaii. They literally decided to elope after landing on the beautiful island of Oahu. What an adventure that must have been! Their family and friends gathered at the elegant Hawaii inspired celebration dinner at the Bakehouse back in NYC to congratulate the happy couple. I was so impressed with the venue decor and location. I loved the gorgeous sunset light pouring into the room during the cocktail hour and the nearby piers provided a perfect backdrop for Emily and Matthew's portraits.

Read MoreOlga and Javier Central Park - Elopement Photography by Elvira Kalviste
I never really believed in online dating until I started shooting weddings. It turns out so many of my couples found their love online. Olga and Javier are no exception. These two opted for a private elopement at the New York City Hall followed by a photo session in Central Park. I love working with couples who have a vision for their wedding photos and Olga and Javier were wonderful collaborators. We took a stroll around the lake stopping by the iconic Bethesda Fountain and we found some gorgeous blossoming cherry trees. However, Olga and Javier were most excited about the lake and the row boats after seeing some of my other photos taken on the lake. Unfortunately, the boathouse was closing earlier but it didn’t stop us. The guys at the boathouse were so kind to let the newlyweds enjoy the boat ride after the closing hours and we got the shots we wanted:) Congratulations once again, Olga and Javier!
