“And if, from that inward turn, from that immersion in one’s own inner world, verses arise, it would never occur to you to ask anyone whether they are good verses.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
2025 has been an unexpected year.
Just twelve months ago, Lorena and I did not know each other. Today, we share this project and our first Christmas together. From the very beginning, eleia felt like a shared place: a desire to tell love stories, to look carefully, to capture what often goes unnoticed.
This year has been a leap—toward one another, toward ourselves, and toward a way of working rooted in trust, intuition, and care. Eleia was born from that impulse: from a love of photography and from the wish to leave an honest mark, however small.
The year that saw us begin is coming to an end. These months have been intense, full of learning, commitment, and movement. We close 2025 deeply grateful to the couples who trusted us and to those who walked alongside us during this first stage.
With the launch of our website, we open this space, Stories, as a place to pause, to write, and to give thanks—for what has been, and for what is yet to come.
See you in 2026.
Lorena y Álvaro
