Elopement photography
in Portugal & Europe

Windswept vows on the cliffs, a table for two at sunset, and photographs that feel like the day itself
My favorite thing to photograph

When it's just
the two of you,

everything

slows down

Elopements are my favorite thing to photograph. When it's just the two of you — maybe a few of your favorite people — everything slows down. There is time for a long walk on the cliffs, a quiet ceremony, champagne with the ocean below. Nobody is watching the clock.

I've photographed elopements from Sintra's hidden beaches to the Algarve cliffs and the Azores. And because I live here, I help with everything: the location, the timeline, the light, the officiant, even the little table for two at golden hour.

Kind words

From the couples

“We are so happy we chose Yana for our elopement! She made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her… When we got our gallery back, we were honestly blown away. Every photo is beautiful, and she captured so many little moments that we'll treasure forever.”
