Images can remind us of—
who we are and who we can be

—an everlasting
replay of memories.

Photography to me, is a way of being in the world, to expand myself and to share how I perceive this life. It’s a practice of paying attention and to be present. To see past the ordinary and mundane, to the sublime or what might otherwise be invisible.

I see photography as part art, part craft, forged into an authentic expression. My work is a reflection of both my inner and outer world, capturing memories that resonate. If you find yourself drawn to my work, it’s likely because you recognize certain aspects of yourself within it

Images can remind us of who we are and who we can be. I'm privileged to have met people along the way that feel a genuine connection to me and what I capture.

hopefully we can
create something
Beautiful Together

Yolanta, how do we begin... we loved having you at our wedding! I felt very comfortable having you around from the start of the day until the end and what amazing photos you captured!! We cried, laughed, smiled and felt all the emotions of the day when we received the photos and we really felt that you brought the energy and vibe of our wedding into these pictures. From when we first met you through to this moment, we felt like you were a friend, like we had known you for a long time and that you understood us totally. We challenged you with a tight schedule and you delivered beyond our expectations! Truly, thank you from us! xo

Cornelia+Andrew

Working with Yolanta was everything we could have hoped for and so much more! From the start, she made us feel completely supported, capturing our wedding in a way that was fresh, edgy, and truly unique. Her eye for detail and her artistic vision are incredible – she found angles and moments we never would have expected, and the results are breathtaking. Each photo feels like a piece of art that brings us right back to our day in a way that’s anything but typical. We’re beyond grateful to have found someone who could capture our wedding with such authenticity and originality. These are moments we’ll cherish forever!

Beatrice+Dawid

Yolanta, we don’t even know where to begin. You captured our day exactly as we experienced it in the moment—if not even better. You made us, our families, and our friends feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and we’ve never felt as stunning as we do in your photos. We were blown away by your creativity and how you had a clear vision for every shot, which made it so easy for us to know how to pose and move. The fact that the final result exceeded anything we could have imagined wasn’t a surprise, given how incredibly professional and confident you were in your work. Words can’t express how happy we are with every single photo you took. To call you an amazing photographer would be an understatement.

When I'm not third-wheeling at a wedding, you can find me being and doing—searching for beauty, seeking stories, pursuing peace, and creating meaning in every moment.

about me

Born in Latvia, raised in Sweden, and shaped by 19 years as a circus performer, my life unfolds in contrasts. Best mornings start with coffee in bed, a book in hand, and the quiet presence of my husband, Patrik, and our four(!) cats—a grounding ritual before the chaos of creativity.

The human, partner, and artist I am today is deeply shaped by my roots — the discipline and childhood of the circus (my dad as a coach from Moscow) and the presence of my husband since 10 years back. Since we met at his Tinder-hosted Valentine’s singles party, he’s been my co-pilot and constant challenger. An artist in his own right, Patrik has unlocked parts of my mind that thrive on growth, stillness, and curiosity. Proposing to him after seven months was bold — but one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

’m drawn to scents that bring memories to life, fashion, art, growth, the hum of crickets on warm summer evenings, and the fleeting beauty of Swedish summers.

When I’m not shooting weddings or being doing, I teach yoga. On the mat, leading a vinyasa class, I find a stillness that’s hard to match.

I’m often asked why weddings. It’s simple — they bring together love and creativity in a way that’s rare. You feel the raw pulse of unity unfolding, and capturing those moments with authenticity and artistry is what makes it all so meaningful.

Have
Questions?

  • I’m based in Sweden, on the island Gotland.

  • Yes! If you’re considering a destination wedding, let me know and I’ll create a tailored proposal for you.

  • My approach is to capture your story creatively: candid and expressive photos showcasing not just grand moments, but also the hidden gems in between. I simply listen, observe and co-create. Real feelings, the spontaneous, surprising, unscripted. All of that goes beyond a pose. You can't plan for it, but I can capture it. But I do believe in directing your experience and curating an environment that allows you to be you.

    I see myself as a co-creator with my couples and not just a professional delivering a service. By creating a easygoing vibe together - it will show in your photos. After all, wedding photography is about more than just one day. It’s about documenting who you are and how it felt to be there.

    Your job is to trust the process, be willing to let your guard down, and show up with the intent to be fully present— I'll do the rest.

  • Moments captured with an editorial eye sums up my signature style. A mixture of artistic timeless moments with a love for raw, candid, fun and experimental documentary moments.

    I love that every single time I pick up my camera, every new story will be completely different from the last. Every wedding is a fresh canvas for me. Your day is unique with its own flavor, and so should be its imagery. That's why I'm not sticking to “photography” rules or a fixed editing formula. My mission is to edit your wedding to match the feeling of the day. But that being said, expect your gallery to feature around 50% timeless black and white shots.

  • On average, I deliver 50-75x photos per hour spent shooting. However, you can rest assured that I am never one to withhold images if there are more to deliver! You will get anything and everything that meets my standards.

  • In the week following your wedding, you will receive 10 preview photos (if included in your package), offering a sneak peek into the collection to come. Eight weeks later, your complete wedding gallery will be delivered.

    Images are shared through an online gallery.

  • Once you decide you’d like to move forward, we hop on a video call to ensure we are the right fit and of course answer any of your questions. After that, to secure your date, you’ll put down 50% of the total cost plus travel and accommodation expenses upon contract signing. And you are booked!! Once you are on board we will begin curating your photography experience.

    Please be aware that due to high demand (especially may-august), your date is confirmed only upon receiving your deposit payment.

  • Many couples book more than a year in advance, sometimes even two. But there are also some spontaneous requests. The sooner you reach out, the better the chances are that your date is still available in my calendar.

  • No, not a full blown movie (atm). But, I do offer a more of a “the best of” vertical movie that I edit + piece together in a creative way, synced to a song that captures the vibe of your day and your unique style.

    Reach out for more info.

  • Yes, fine art prints, editorial photobook, 35mm analog photos, drone, second shooter, micro-film, highlight instagram reels, express delivery, next day sneakpeek delivery and ofc also engagement/dress fitting/day before or after shoots. Get in touch to receive my pricing guide.

  • Prices depend on factors such as celebration days and guest count. Whenever you're ready, send your inquiry my way. I'll provide you with my price guide, and we can discuss your wedding plans on Google Meet.

    Customized packages are available.
