Hi, we're Yuri and Darina, married to each other, and married to cameras. We live in Valencia and shoot weddings across the region: here in Valencia, along the Costa Blanca, and further out whenever a couple asks us to.

We split the day between us in a way that just works: Darina has an eye for the quiet, editorial moments (the dress hanging just right, the light on someone's face before the ceremony starts). Yuri stays close to the action with a more documentary approach, catching the parts nobody poses for. He also shoots on 35mm film for part of the coverage, which gives certain frames that grain and warmth digital just doesn't do on its own, and flies a drone for the wide, sweeping shots of the venue that you can't get any other way.

Most of our couples are flying in from the US, the UK, or elsewhere in Europe to get married here, so we're used to planning around jet lag, tight timelines, and family who've never seen Spain before. Whether it's Valencia, Barcelona, Sitges, or somewhere along the Costa Brava, if you're picturing a wedding on this coast, we'd love to talk about it.

Hi, I'm Darina. I'm a photographer based in Valencia, and I've been doing this for 18 years now, starting back in Ukraine before life brought me here to Spain.

I photograph people, mostly. Families, women wanting a portrait session that actually feels like them, couples getting engaged or married, expecting mums who want something more than the usual maternity poses, new babies in their first days of life. I've shot over 750 weddings at this point, so the big, chaotic, emotional days don't rattle me anymore. But honestly the quieter sessions, a woman doing a solo portrait shoot or a family just wanting to remember this year, mean just as much to me.

My style leans editorial. I'm not big on stiff poses or "say cheese", I'd rather guide you through something that feels natural and catch you in between the posed moments, when the real expression shows up. A lot of my women's portrait and boudoir clients tell me they came in nervous and left feeling like a different person just saw themselves differently for an hour. That reaction is honestly why I still love this job.

I work across Valencia and out along the Costa Blanca, Altea, Calpe, Moraira, Javea, wherever a session takes me. I also travel further when someone books me for it, and I occasionally go back to shoot for a few days in another country when the timing works out.

Language wise I speak Ukrainian, Russian and English fluently, and I'm working on my Spanish. I switch to whatever feels most comfortable for the clie
