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.
From the mountains
to the beaches, we love it all.
