ELAINE GREEN | PHOTOGRAPHER

DRAMATIC AND DIFFERENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Welcome and thank you for stopping by! I'm Elaine Gan, also known as Elaine Green | Photographer, based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and I'm thrilled to offer my photography services both locally and globally.

As a professional photographer, operating room registered nurse, and music educator, I am committed to delivering excellence in every project I take on.

“It’s extremely rewarding doing what I do – I enjoy being able to capture the best side of people and preserving memories that last a lifetime. Photos become more and more valuable as each day passes. It’s been over two decades of constant pursuit to create innovative works of art for my clients and for myself, an unending labor of love.” - Elaine Green

About Elaine

Founder + Lead Photographer

I've dedicated 20 years to crafting unique images for my cherished clients across the globe! Throughout this journey, my work has garnered international acclaim, with numerous awards in photography and photojournalism from the Wedding Photojournalist Association, the Artistic Guild of the WPJA, Fearless Photographers Organization, International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers, the Professional Wedding Photographers of Canada and I've been recommended by StyleMePretty, Junebug Weddings, Wedluxe, Perfect Wedding Magazine, Blush Magazine, Wedding Photographer Select Europe, Signature Weddings, Wedding Maps, MyWed, Weddingbells, Brides Magazine, Bridal Expo, Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, Oasis Conference Centre, CityTV, CBC, Global TV, Edmonton Journal, Calgary Herald, and various media networks for my innovative style of capturing emotional moments and creative portraits. 

My expertise extends beyond the lens; I’ve served as a judge for the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers competition as well as the Professional Wedding Photographers of Canada contests. I've been named in the top 5% photographers in Wedding Wire, top 3 photographers in the Professional Wedding Photographers of Canada, top 25 wedding photographers by Wedding Bells Magazine, and top 50 photojournalists by the WPJA.  

But who am I beyond the accolades?

🌿My love for the vibrant chartreuse inspired my company name, Elaine Green!

🏥Outside of photography, my heart belongs to healthcare as an operating room registered nurse, where I love ortho & general surgery – a profession that's as fulfilling as it is challenging.

🎶Music courses through my veins. A multi-instrumentalist, I've been teaching piano for over three decades and have nurtured the musical talents of countless students. Should you wish to explore the world of music, feel free to visit my other passion project at Edmonton Piano Teachers.

💕 My better half, Duane, is my associate photographer and cinematographer who has been professionally shooting for over a decade. Together, we have an adorable son, James, who is the light of our lives.

🌎 Traveling, indulging in naps, and mastering the art of self-productivity are some of the joys of my life, along with a good cleaning session.

I live by the mottos:
- Better to arrive half an hour early than a minute late.
- Strive to be better today than yesterday.
- Be like water - adaptable, growing, and ever-changing.

Testimonials

We spent a lot of time researching and interviewing different photographers, and we could not have asked for a better photographer to share our special moments. Elaine was a consummate professional - always on time, responsive with emails, easy to work with - and she was warm and enthusiastic during the photo shoots. She has a great eye and chose locations that suited our personalities. The quality of her photos far exceeded our expectations, I wholeheartedly recommend her to capture your day. - Krishna + Amit

Truly a great experience for us, she captured all the right moments. It was a brutally hot and busy day for us, but she kept our spirits up and made the photos very enjoyable. I really valued not having to worry about the quality and the direction for our wedding photography. what i loved most, was she understood our personalities and took pictures that was a value to us (funny offside moments, group moments, etc) i would strongly recommend Elaine to everyone! - Kevin + Irene

ELAINE THESE ARE AMAZING PICTURES!! Our families are loving all the pictures too!  Thank you thank you thank you!! You are so amazing to work with and so professional and fun! We can't thank you enough for being there for our wedding and making us feel comfortable, and also stress free, knowing that we have the best photographer in the city taking our wedding pictures. I've looked through the pictures so many times already! - Iram + Rizwan

Elaine is well worth the investment. The quality of Elaine's work is excellent, every picture is framing quality. We received many, many high quality images with artistic characteristics. I loved her abilities to capture colours, scenery, and special moments. I wanted a very tight schedule so that my photography hours were allocated for specific times each of my wedding event days. She ensures beforehand, who is responsible for adding photography hours and who she should report to with any issues. I highly recommend Elaine who can ensure that you have a stress-free fun time being photographed during your wedding! - Jade + Ricky

Elaine was amazing to work with! She communicated very promptly, was always on time, and was professional in her services. The photos she took of our wedding were amazing! She captured all the important moments in a beautiful and artistic fashion and chose great locations for formals. She made us feel at ease while taking photos and provided all the cuing to create amazing shots. She was also flexible and willing to stay longer at our reception to capture a few more memories. Thank you Elaine! - Jody + Andrew

We couldn't have made a better decision in choosing our wedding photographer; we had understandably high expectations after looking at the online portfolio. Though I have to say, Elaine more then exceeded anything that we might have imagined. My husband and I especially loved that we did an engagement shoot, which was something we hadn't previously planned on. It made us feel a lot more comfortable on our wedding day and we actually ended up loving the engagement photos so much that we chose to purchase them as well. We can't thank you enough Elaine! - Brittany + Paul

Elaine is AMAZING! She is very professional and talented and was a lot fun to work with! She's also very friendly and immediately puts you at ease and calms your nerves during your crazy hectic day. She even brought me food as I was switching between gowns hug Elaine and didn't have time to stomach anything! She has a keen eye that captured all of our wedding details including the details I forgot to tell her about or didn't notice myself. She never misses the perfect moment, the smiles, the laughter, the exchange of looks...the things you missed because you were crazy busy with something else at that moment. But I'm very grateful to Elaine who has turned all those beautiful moments I missed into a wonderful memory that I can cherish and look back on. I couldn't be happier with our choice! Thanks Elaine! - Megan + Corey

In any photo where we manage to look good, you have set it up so it turns out amazing - and that's really the best that a photographer can be!!! Thanks - you are wonderful! YAY - Gina + Jason

Elaine photographed our engagement photos this May and we are blown away by them! They turned out amazing and we keep having people ask us who took our photos. Elaine was creative beyond what I thought imaginable. She also ensured we felt comfortable and was very sweet, patient, and encouraging. She never made us feel nervous - and the pictures show exactly that! She has far exceeded our expectations for an engagement shoot. She also listened to what we wanted in terms of turn around time and maintained that in her service. Thank you again Elaine and we will cherish these photos for a long time! - Yashna + Rajiv

We are extremely happy with the service Elaine provided! We love the images she captured! We had an engagement session prior to the wedding and it was a great opportunity to get comfortable with Elaine's approach which was very relaxed and natural. She was very flexible and was agreeable to working 16 hours to capture our day from getting ready in the morning to the bouquet/garter toss at the end of the night. We are still in the process of finalizing our wedding album but she was quick to design a beautiful layout that included all the important moments of our day. She was very professional and prompt with text messages and email responses. - Cindy + Vic

Absolutely amazing! Spent as much time as we needed to get all the pictures we requested and more. Very kind and enjoyable to work with. Pictures to die for! Would highly recommend to anyone for any event!!! - Nicole + Charlie

Great to work with and scouted out locations to meet our photography "wants". Provided us with a list of second photographers that we were able to choose from and meet and discuss our vision with. Gave us our photos in a timely manner in multiple formats for both printing and Web use. Great creativity, enthusiastic, and wonderful to work with. - Kelsey + Justin

Elaine is simply amazing! She did our Maternity photo shoot for our family. Elaine's work is as beautiful as her personality & we were very lucky to have her capture our cherished moments of being pregnant with our son. The photos were breathtaking to say the least & the entire experience was so much fun. Elaine made us feel at ease the entire time. She has a gentle nature, but our photos were gorgeous & the rest of our family loved them! I am thankful that Elaine made time to capture those moments we will cherish forever. Every photo taken was beautiful. When we got our photos back we couldn't pick a favourite, they were all equally beautiful! - Kristy + Neil

WOW!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! IM SO HAPPY!!!!!! :') Thank you so much Elaine! You're definitely one of the best ones out there!! Chris and I made the right decision :) - Kat + Chris

Elaine was very professional and pleasant to work with. She is quite creative! I would recommend Elaine to anyone requiring pictures of any sort. She was quite accommodating when we required her to stay a few more hours after our reception. - Vijanti + Vageeshan
