I photograph weddings in a calm, natural way — without pressure, without forced posing.Your day is not a photoshoot. It’s something you live through — and I’m there to capture it as it truly feels.

I’m Yana — a photographer and a mother of five, drawn to quiet, meaningful moments.
I understand how emotional and personal a wedding day can be, and how important it is to feel comfortable and safe in front of the camera.
I will gently guide you when needed, but never interrupt the natural flow of your day.


Every wedding is different, but my approach remains the same — calm, unobtrusive and focused on what truly matters.

Below you’ll find simple coverage options for intimate weddings and meaningful celebrations.


You don’t need to know how to pose.

You don’t need to feel “perfect”.

You just need to be yourselves — and I will take care of the rest.
