I fell in love with photography when I was twelve, after discovering my grandfather’s old Zenit film camera at home in Ukraine. There was something magical about capturing light and emotion, about turning everyday moments into something unforgettable. That quiet passion stayed with me, grew stronger over time, and eventually became my life’s work.
Photography also brought me someone very special. I met Yurii in my hometown, we were both just starting out, young and full of curiosity, and it was photography that brought us together. As our relationship grew, so did our work. Somewhere along the way, our love and our craft became deeply connected.

our story
We’re very different - two personalities, two creative minds - but that contrast has become our greatest strength.
I’m drawn to emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling. Yurii has a brilliant eye for light, structure, and timing.
Together, we bring both perspectives into everything we do. Our style is natural and editorial, but more than that - it’s honest. Because at the end of the day, we’re not just capturing how things looked. We’re capturing how it all felt.

Maria and Yurii are really more than photographers. From the beginning, they offered endless support, advice, and guidance. We felt like we could relax in their safe hands and just enjoy our Big Day. Maria has a great taste, vision, and attention to small details. She managed to capture so many wonderful moments that we ourselves missed! It was an absolute pleasure working with them. The photos are so beautiful that we are having trouble selecting which ones to frame.
