Nice to meet you – I’m Lana, the person behind the camera. I am from Yakutia (Republic of Sakha), the coldest place on Earth.

When I look at my own wedding album from 22 years ago, I see mostly posed groups of people. I see who was there and what everyone wore, but my real memories are different: my brother dancing first time jive with an English guest, my 11yo nephew dancing with his dad, our friends laughing and having fun. Those moments live in my head, but they were never photographed.

Years later, I discovered documentary‑style wedding photos – imperfect, candid, completely alive – and something clicked. I started quietly photographing my own family and friends that way, and over time it became my profession.

Today, I offer creative, cinematic wedding photography for couples who choose France for its nature, food, wine and culture. If you’re planning a destination wedding around Cognac, Bordeaux or anywhere in South‑West France, my role is simple: you live the experience with your favourite people, and I turn it into a visual story you can come back to for the rest of your life.

I work with natural and off‑camera light so your images feel like scenes from a film. Whether you’re hosting a château weekend with 100 guests, a small vineyard wedding or a family ceremony at Atlantic coast, I focus on pure emotions.

After years of editing, creating and telling stories in France, I’ve embraced a simple mission: to give you wedding photographs that feel like your day really felt – emotional, cinematic and full of life – not just a collection of pretty poses.
