launched my business at fifteen, shooting senior portraits and delivering the files on a CD before first period. My business cards were embarrassing. I was completely self-taught, and I was absolutely hooked.

A year later, a lovely couple named Danielle & Kyle asked me to photograph their wedding despite the fact that I had never even attended one. I said yes! I walked in knowing nothing and walked out knowing exactly what I was meant to do.

When I left for college in Boston, I fell deep into the world of commercial photography, shooting lifestyle campaigns for fashion brands and editorial work for magazines all while learning medium and large format film in the darkroom. That combination of fine art discipline, art history, and magazine direction became the foundation of everything I do today. It's what shaped the way I see and how I approach a wedding day.

Fifteen years later, the thing that still drives me is the same thing that drove me at sixteen - the moment a couple exhales, forgets the camera is there, and just exists in their day. The pride on a parent's face during milestone they've waited their whole life to witness. Photographing grandparents that have been married for 62 years. The small, joyful, unrepeatable moments that make every wedding day unique.

I live in Boston with my best bud of ten years Paul, who had a crush on me in high school photography class. I was blissfully unaware until we reconnected in college - halfway across the country in Chicago, as fate would have it. Thankfully, he's a big Lena fan with a lot of patience.

my biggest fan

I like to pretend I’m a Food Network star in my kitchen, which is stocked with every polka dot appliance Kate Spade makes. Cooking and baking satisfies my creativity, and I'm known to have years-long recipe swaps with my couples.

Yes, chef

Chances are I'm in Chinatown with a belly full of pho and a bubble tea in each hand. When I'm not enjoying a Pad Thai fueled Bravo marathon in my pajamas, you'll find me biking on Martha's Vineyard, spending winters in Miami with a book on the beach, or completely offline in a sauna.

when i'm not working...

Every vacation is a research trip, whether I plan it that way or not. Art and architecture, the way color moves through a painting or light bounces off a centuries-old facade - it all finds its way into my work. The details I notice in an alley in Kyoto, a garden in Lake Como, or a museum in Paris show up in the way I frame a moment or see a space.

never enough art

the fun facts!

Let me tell you, this woman is INCREDIBLE, and I work with all kinds of wedding vendors for my own job. Not only is she unbelievably talented, but her passion for what she does shines through in every moment. She captured every detail, every emotion, and every candid laugh so perfectly — each one feels like a piece of art and perfectly reflects the love and joy of the day. Lena was somehow everywhere she needed to be without ever being intrusive — she could anticipate every special moment before it even happened. Her direction was clear and encouraging, and she made everyone feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Lena is truly one-of-a-kind.
