Behind the camera
Yani Yakov
To me, wedding photography is one complete emotional narrative — honest to the people, refined in its imagery and meaningful for years to come.

Approach
A calm presence. Genuine care for people.
I observe more than I direct. Documentary instinct, editorial restraint and natural portraiture come together with close attention to details, atmosphere, light and movement. I do not work through a checklist. I look for relationships, family gestures, friendship and the energy of the celebration, shaping them into a coherent gallery with different rhythms and emotions.
After the day
The edit follows the story.
Every frame is refined with care to preserve natural skin, the character of the light and a consistent sense of place. No generic filters, artificial polish or fleeting trends. Post-production supports the story; it never replaces reality.
Family and team
My wife and I are family — and a team.
We understand how much invisible planning and emotion lives inside a wedding day. We are not simply two more cameras, but a steady pair of eyes and a dependable presence: we understand the schedule, help quietly and take responsibility for what has been entrusted to us.
Family and human connection mean a great deal to us, and that shows in the way we photograph the people and moments that make your day wonderful. With most of our couples, the friendship naturally continues after the wedding — through holiday gatherings and photographs of new family milestones.
Who we photograph
For people drawn to what is real.
We work best with couples who value family and beautiful imagery, and want to enjoy the emotion of their day without unnecessary stress. Whether in Bulgaria or elsewhere in Europe, what matters is that the experience remains yours.

Kind words
From the people who trusted me with their story.
Curated contacts
