About
I was born and raised in rural Hawaii among surfers and cattle ranches. I grew up milking cows, gazing at double rainbows, and hiking over lava fields. I am currently based out of California and Hawaii, but find myself on airplanes and road trips often.
A background in theater and environmental science nurtured my love of collaboration, story, and the outdoors, and taught me to balance preparation and improvisation.
Cinema, travel, and nature are where I find inspiration. I feel the most at home when I am in the warm waters off Hawaii, hiking mountains, or curled up with a good book.
I also photograph a limited number of weddings each year. My wedding portfolio can be viewed at elenaweddings.com.
