Find Your Perfect Wedding Vendors
Iana Vlach
Iana Vlach photographs love like someone who knows what it can heal. What began as a camera pointed at family moments became a lifeline—and then a calling. Today, after years behind the lens and three dedicated to weddings, she chases the feeling of the day rather than a formula. She resists labels, steering clear of trends-as-aesthetic; her aim is simple and ambitious at once: images that feel timeless because they feel true. Her approach is feather-light and warm. Iana blends in with a smile and easy humor, lets couples forget the camera, and invites them to just be—laugh, hug, dance, even show a little passion. That’s when the good stuff happens.
Srebar Photography
Srebar Photography are a husband-and-wife duo whose work feels like a love letter to modern elegance. Born from their own romance, they create images that are effortlessly chic and unmistakably real—where documentary spontaneity meets fashion-forward refinement. Their signature look steers clear of clichés and stiff posing: think fluid movement, clean lines, and a calm, confidence-boosting presence that lets couples look like themselves—only better.
Together, they plan with precision—timeline, venue flow, even DJ cues—review mood boards, and quietly blend in like welcomed guests. Their post-production is timeless: true-to-life color with a subtle, cool balance and meticulous skin work that keeps texture intact. The result is magazine-level imagery that still feels intimate and human.
Yana Peneva
Yana Peneva tells love stories like a curious explorer—seeing, feeling, and translating a couple’s world into images that breathe. Based in a tiny seaside village of just forty people, she’s spent 15 years traveling, reading, wandering, and chasing new worlds—then weaving that sense of wonder into wedding days. Her style is emotional, natural, authentic, real: no stiff posing, no over-directing, just space for people to be themselves and forget the camera is there.
With a keen eye, Yana moves easily from quiet tenderness to lively celebration. She photographs 25–30 weddings per year, offers custom packages when needed, and happily stamps her passport—Goa and Mallorca are standouts so far. For couples who want photographs that feel true to them—poetic yet grounded, intimate yet alive—Yana delivers imagery that reads like a shared dream, one you can step back into for years.
Anastasiia Kharyna
Anastasiia Kharyna is a Ukrainian wedding photographer based in Bulgaria who turns an obsession with the “perfect shot” into photographs that feel emotional, elegant, and timeless. Trained as a doctor, she returned to the camera with fresh purpose and now brings 11 years of experience to weddings across Europe—balancing editorial polish with real, unguarded moments. Her color work stays natural, her retouching subtle, and her images breathe with atmosphere rather than effects.
Client experience is her superpower. Anastasiia starts by listening—really listening—to a couple’s vision, then offers clear, calming guidance and a relaxed on-the-day approach so people look like themselves, just a little more cinematic. Travel is part of her DNA—Italy, France, and Greece are favorites—along with the thrill of new places and cultures.
Art Photo Story
Art Photo Story is the two-person team, a “photographic family” who fell for each other through the craft and now chase unscripted, out-of-the-box weddings across Bulgaria. Their imagery blends documentary honesty with a cinematic pulse: nothing stiff or over-posed, just gentle direction rooted in movement and feeling so couples stay relaxed and real. The edit keeps colors true and skin tones natural with a warm, film-leaning finish. Expect thoughtful help with planning, a focus on tiny details as much as big emotions, and photographs that feel both romantic and individual to the world you’ve created.
Finding “the one” is simple: shortlist two or three, ask for full-day galleries, get clear on delivery times, backup plans, film vs. digital, plus what’s included. Book early—Bulgarian Saturdays disappear fast. Whether you’re saying “I do” under Sofia’s city lights, by the sea in Sozopol, or in a monastery courtyard near Veliko Tarnovo, these five can catch the quiet looks, the happy tears, the dance-floor chaos. Save your favorites, reach out, lock the date—and let the magic happen.
