Hi there, I’m Hristina!

And I’m so glad you are here.

It means the world to me that individuals like you trust me to capture the most delicate moments of their lives. I moved alone to another country to chase this dream, and almost a decade later, I still find it surreal (read: I’m pinching myself daily!)

I absolutely love what I do, and want the passion that radiates through my photography and films to inspire you and leave you with memories you will cherish forever. Thank you again for being here. Together, we will create something extraordinary that will resonate with your soul.

Weddings

  • For couples who feel deeply. I blend in with your people and capture your day as it really was: the joy, the nerves, the tears and everything in between, across Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Croatia, or anywhere your love story takes me!

    Documentary and candid wedding photos that make you gasp and cry (but just a little!), and bring you right back to how it all felt.

  • One day you'll press play, and it will all come back: the shaky voice during your vows, your best friend's speech, the song that pulled everyone onto the dance floor..

    Your wedding isn't a film set, it’s an intimate, sacred thing and we will never ask you to fake a smile. We move quietly and let the day unfold.

    Every film collection includes your wedding day film, a short reel to share, the audio of your vows and drone footage, planned together with your photos so it all tells one story.

  • Just the two of you, or only your closest people. I’m guessing you chose to elope because there’s a little something in your soul that said, “This feels right by us.”

    That indescribable feeling is exactly what we’ll capture for you in our photographs and film.

    It’s a bold decision to create a one-of-a-kind experience — a story to be passed down through the generations. And, it’s woven into a once-in-a-lifetime trip that gives you the adventure you’ve always wanted.

Before & beyond the wedding

  • The perfect test-run before the big day, and a love story of its own. We plan the location, outfits and ideas together, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy the experience.

    It is a great way to meet each other and for you to get used to the camera a little bit!

    And by the end, you'll be saying "I never thought this could feel so easy!" Booked with your wedding, it comes at a special rate.

  • Because your love deserves more than phone selfies.

    An anniversary, a new chapter, or just because. An intimate experience bringing you closer together and reminding you how beautiful your everyday life is.

    An afternoon well spent together, snuggling on your sofa or drinking champagne on a picnic blanket at your favorite spot in the park.

    Tailored for deep connection and creating memories you’d love to frame on the wall.

  • Tiny hands, big giggles, a growing belly.. A relaxed session where nobody has to sit still and say cheese.

    Just your family, exactly as you are. These become the photos your grandchildren will look back on one day.

  • Celebrate yourself with this self-love experience in a safe space.

    An afternoon that's only about you. We choose the place, the outfits, the music, then slow down and let you settle in.

    No rushing and no right way to look, only the version of you that shows up once you finally relax.
