Hello!
My name is Iryna
It's so nice to meet you
A passionate storytelling photographer based in Antwerp. I believe life is full of small wonders, and that amazing people and stories are all around us — I’m endlessly curious to explore it all with an open heart.
My love for visual arts and deep interest in human connection led me into photography — and it completely changed my life. What started as a creative pursuit became a way of seeing, feeling, and reimagining the world around me. I'm a big optimist and a dreamer, a mother to a little girl, and a believer that nothing is impossible if you stay close to yourself and keep going. My family is my foundation — the reason I grow, take risks, and keep pushing my own boundaries to explore what this beautiful world has to offer.
My Philosophy
creating The Space Where Your Story Comes Alive
As a photographer with a strong artistic vision, I help CREATE the right environment for every story to be told in its most authentic way. I find the balance between intentional direction to achieve the shot we’re aiming for, and giving you the space to let your true personalities shine through.
But the key element is... connection. Whether it’s a wedding, a couple, or a family shoot, it’s always about mutual trust and co-creation — a synergy that leads to meaningful powerful imagery. That’s why it’s essential for me to truly connect with the people I photograph. I want to get to know you, fine-tune our energy, and feel like friends — even if it’s just for a day.
Let's chat
My Fav Things
DISNEY Movies STILL Make Me CRY
Here’s where you can delve further into your favourite things outside of wedding photography – everyone might be able to be a photographer, but there’s little quirks that make you unique – chat about that.
Maybe you can talk about your favourite hobbies, food, art or leisure activities. What you do to wind down when you’re not shooting – pets, your family, your hometown.
You can also use this opportunity to rehash your love for travelling – a great way for you to subtly remind them that you’re open to shooting destination weddings.
Remember to wrap up this section by tying it back into wedding photography. For example, “That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)”

Uncover your overall approach to the day and an overview of your process. Help them picture what it’s like to have you there on the day and why what you do is so important. Mention how you’ll help them ensure the day flows smoothly, because you’ve had loads of experience at other weddings.
For example, talk about how you’ll arrive at first light to capture the mother-of-the-bride and the bridal squad helping the bride get ready. Or the groomsmen sneaking a few drinks to calm their nerves.
Chat about how you’ll turn up after one too many coffees, buzzing with energy to capture one of the most important, memorable days in their lives, and that you won’t miss a moment.
Write about documenting the getting ready prep through to ceremony, reception and afterparty (if relevant). How you’ll be there in the centre of it all or as a wallflower behind the scenes, photographing moments and details that they might’ve missed (e.g. Aunty Doris getting drunk on the d-floor). Whether you stick to purely candid shots or will pose them for styled shots.
Behind the Lens
Rain, hail or shine, I won’t miss a beat

What Inspires Me
is the quiet beauty of everyday
I get easily awed by the aesthetics of simple things, like interesting light through a window or the perfect geometry of a pine cone in the forest.
I’ve always been drawn to visual arts, finding inspiration in old magazines, arthouse movies, photo books, art museums, theatre, and dance. Traveling helps me see everyday things from a fresh perspective, and watching my daughter grow reminds me of the importance of each moment — and that every day holds space for a little wonder.
