Your day should be exciting & unforgettable

You most likely adventure off the beaten path and take the road less traveled in life.

You are down to earth, but you don't settle for mediocre.

You adore breathtaking beauty found in nature and in romantic love stories. 

You think that meeting the one you can be vulnerable with, your true best friend you can reveal all of your quirks to and feel at peace in their embrace, 

is pretty exhilarating.

Because you set the world alight together.

You wandered, took the roads unknown, found each other and then said

"no one else but you".

Take a deep breath and enjoy every moment.

This is crazy powerful and it deserves a celebration, that honors your

values and aspirations.

You two are intentionally choosing to celebrate your nuptials in a way that is your own &

I will walk/dance/run with you to help you experience your dreamy vision of the day. 

 What I do 

& WHAT INSPIRES ME

​

​

You might have noticed, that I adore free spirited couples stoked to share their adventures together, because exploring new landscapes in hiking boots, on skis or in a wet suit is my jam.

I am a storyteller.

I document love all over the world since 2012 by creating moody images of a film-like quality.

 Photographing intimate boutique weddings and adventure elopements is my specialty.

I focus on a personalized approach tailored to your vision for the day, guiding you through building a comfortable timeline step by step and helping you select epic locations for your unposed wedding shoot.

More importantly, I want to become friends with you two to create a meaningful connection before your day and tell your story with sensitivity and insight.

I strive to capture candid images full of raw affection, quirky details and authentic moments nestled in unforgettable sceneries. 

Hidden gem alert!

KIND WORDS:

​

"Before starting the search, I had to work around two of my husband's requests: 1. No second-shooters and 2. "No crazy filters or poses". I ultimately interpreted this as: someone who is confident, capable of putting awkward people at ease, has a photo journalistic style, and excels working with both natural and artificial light. This last part was key, as our wedding venue featured both indoor and outdoor spaces. Lastly, it wouldn't hurt if said photographer could also add a splash of glamour / a "wow factor" here and there. With all of that in mind, I have to say that stumbling upon Yana's website was a serendipitous moment."
