Photographer’s Atlas of Wedding Venues in Bulgaria
Every wedding region in Bulgaria has its own light signature. As a husband-and-wife duo of two photographers (Yani & Viki), we plan your ceremony orientation, drone aerials and relaxed 25-minute Golden Hour walk around the natural landscape.
Region 01 · Sofia, Vitosha, Pasarel & Pravets
Tree canopies soften midday light, while Vitosha and surrounding hills dip the sun 15–25 minutes before astronomical sunset. Lake shores and open forest clearings deliver breathtaking early Golden Hour portraits and drone reveals.
Region 02 · Plovdiv, Thrace & Starosel
Wide-open western vineyard horizons create a long, warm Golden Hour. Stone courtyards and barrel cellars also offer timeless editorial backdrops if midday sun is intense.
Region 03 · Melnik, Sandanski & Struma Valley
With over 280 sunny days a year, the Struma valley combines Mediterranean warmth, dramatic sandstone formations for drone photography, and glowing twilight dinners under string lights.
Region 04 · Bulgarian Black Sea Coast
As seen in the real wedding story of D & D at La Vita (Ahtopol), the eastern sea horizon reflects soft pastel pink and blue tones at sunset while coastal cliffs frame cinematic drone and portrait compositions.
Region 05 · Central Sofia & Boyana
We pair editorial portraits along Sofia’s historic streets and royal gardens with relaxed documentary coverage of courtyard receptions and candlelit dinners.
For International & Expat Couples Planning a Wedding in Bulgaria
Many of our couples live in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands or the USA and plan their Bulgarian celebration remotely. We make every step clear, calm and effortless in both English and Bulgarian.
01 · Video Consultation & Digital Contract
Check your date online, meet us on a relaxed video call, and secure your date with a clear agreement and a 500 EUR bank-transfer deposit.
02 · Fluent Bilingual Coverage (BG & EN)
We communicate naturally with both Bulgarian and international guests. In SIGNATURE (1800 EUR) and LUXURY (2700 EUR), two photographers, drone aerials and travel across Bulgaria are included.
03 · Complete Experience & Heirloom Album
Share your private high-resolution online gallery with family worldwide, with no fixed cap on delivered photos. LUXURY also includes a pre/after-wedding session, a 30×30 cm 30-page leather album and priority delivery up to 3 months.

Before you reserve
Ideally, as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. We accept a limited number of weddings so every couple receives personal attention and consistently high-quality work.
Yes. SIGNATURE is designed for weddings throughout Bulgaria, while LUXURY is available in Bulgaria and EU destinations. For weddings in Bulgaria, travel to your chosen venue is included in the collection price. For wedding venues more than 50 km from Sofia, the client provides two nights for the photography team in one double room — the night before the wedding and the wedding night. To allow us to remain fully present throughout the celebration, please provide a dedicated vendor table and meals for two at the reception. For weddings outside Bulgaria, travel and logistics are outlined in a clear, bespoke proposal.
Delivery for INTIMATE and SIGNATURE is within 5 months. LUXURY includes priority editing and delivery within 3 months. A preview selection of favourite moments is included in SIGNATURE and LUXURY.
All collections include a generous selection with no fixed cap — the complete story matters more than an arbitrary number. For full-day coverage, you will typically receive between 700 and 1,000 photographs, depending on the pace and schedule of the wedding day.
Yes. An album is included in LUXURY and can be added to INTIMATE or SIGNATURE. Choose a 20×20 cm album for €210 or a 30×30 cm album for €270, each with a bespoke layout and 30 substantial pages.
