About

Cup of Green Photography is a relaxed, storytelling photography studio based in Caterham, Surrey, specialising in small weddings, elopements and intimate celebrations for couples who want their day to feel like them, not a big production.

Led by photographer Elena, Cup of Green is all about real connection and unposed, joy‑filled moments – the quiet squeeze of your partner’s hand before the ceremony, the belly‑laughs with your closest friends, and the tearful hug with a parent when no one else is watching. With a calm, reassuring presence and a mostly documentary approach, Elena blends in with your guests, gently guiding you only when needed so you can relax into the day while she quietly captures the story as it unfolds.

Cup of Green is a perfect fit for registry‑office “I do”s, cosy pub receptions and garden gatherings of up to around 50 guests, where every person there really matters. Couples love the generous image galleries, fast sneak peeks and clear, simple packages designed specifically for elopements and intimate weddings, making professional photography feel easy, personal and genuinely worthwhile even (and especially) when you’ve chosen to keep things small.
