In a world where wedding planning often feels like a
performance—choreographed to meet the expectations of curated
Pinterest boards and picture-perfect Instagram posts—finding a sense
of self in the process can feel like searching for a quiet corner in
a noisy room. But for photographer
Elana Loo, planning a wedding centered on authenticity was worth the search.
With the same intentionality she brings behind the lens, the Artifact Uprising Ambassador approached her wedding as a deeply personal celebration—a reflection of her and her partner’s story. In this candid conversation, she reveals her honest convictions and what it was like to let go of external pressures, lean into what matters most, and plan a big day that not only looked beautiful, but felt beautiful, too.
