Amazing!

Working with Iryna was so easy! She has a great eye for her photos and is such a lovely person to have around on your special day. We also did an engagement shoot before the wedding and she returned the photos in a timely matter. It is hard to choose a favorite! Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend!

I recently booked a graduation photo shoot with Iryna. She made the whole experience fun and stress-free, and the photos were absolutely beautiful — vibrant, emotional, and full of life.
This wasn’t my first time working with her — last year, Iryna also photographed our wedding, and we were blown away by her talent, professionalism, and warm personality.
She’s truly gifted at capturing the moment. Highly recommend!

So excited!!!

We were so excited to work with Iryna and she totally delivered! From the start, she made us feel at ease and actually enjoy taking photos (which we were nervous about). The photos are gorgeous and really capture the vibe of the day. Can’t stop looking at them!

Wedding photoshoot that felt like magic

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Iryna for our wedding photo shoot in the botanical garden this past March, and the experience was nothing short of magical. From the moment we first met, she exuded a sense of professionalism and warmth that immediately put us at ease.
Iryna chose the best locations within the botanical garden, ensuring that every shot would capture the natural beauty of the surroundings as well as the love and connection between my husband Nelson and me. Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the shoot, from the way she directed us into poses that felt natural and comfortable even with my long veil, to the way she used the light and environment to create truly stunning images.
What truly set Ira apart was the ability to capture the emotions of the day. Each photo radiates with the joy, love, and intimacy we felt, turning moments into memories that we will cherish forever. It felt like Iryna was not just documenting our wedding but telling our love story through the camera lens.
The final photos surpassed all our expectations. Each image is a piece of art, beautifully edited yet still so natural.
Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Ira’s passion for photography shines through her work and interactions.
In summary, Iryna provided us with an extraordinary experience and beautiful, timeless photographs that we will treasure for a lifetime. If you are looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture the essence of your special day, look no further.
Thank you dear for making our wedding day so memorable and for giving us the most beautiful images to look back on. You are truly exceptional at what you do.

Wonderful!!

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for capturing our wedding day last year so beautifully. Iryna’s work has left us with memories that we will cherish forever! Her professionalism throughout the day was impeccable - from arriving early to staying late to capture the final moments, her dedication did not go unnoticed. We particularly loved the candid moments Iryna’s captured. These shots reflected the genuine joy and love shared amongst our family and friends. I also want to admit her attention to details. Photos editing maintained the natural beauty of the day while enhancing the visual appeal.

Thank you once again for your outstanding work.

What to expect

You can expect a relaxed and friendly atmosphere during the photo session. I guide you through natural posing and candid moments to help you feel at ease in front of the camera. I prefer a natural editing style that enhances true colors and emotions without heavy filters. After the shoot, you’ll receive a preview within a few days, and the final edited photos will be delivered within 2 weeks. I’m always open to discussing ideas and special requests to make the session uniquely yours.

About

My name is Iryna and I am a professional wedding and family photographer. I started 7 years ago and at first it was just a hobby, though I realized that capturing people’s emotions is my vocation. It is a great pleasure to be part of the most important moments of your lives. “Carving” photos of love stories, engagements, wedding vows, baptisms of children and making these unique instances unforgettable are priceless for you and for me. I am glad that with some families, so-called «cooperation» has already developed and we captured their memories in photos and videos forever. Perhaps you are the next one.
