Photographs
That Make You Feel Seen & Heard
Captured by an Alaska photographer with a fine art approach
Think: an Alaska photographer who makes you feel at ease, and film-inspired imagery (with real film takes too) that capture the emotions with elegance. You’ll feel seen and heard through photographs that value feeling something over appearing perfect, while still pausing to incorporate a timeless, unfading photographic style. The beautiful part is that this naturally results in the kind of imagery that is a perfect reflection of your experience.

This fine art wedding photographer’s philosophy
Together, we’ll prioritize the truth of who you are as a couple over curated images, and yet, because the images are cultivated with stories, they are that much more powerful as a result. All in all, I’m a photographer of emotion — making art out of lived experiences without overlooking the details or timeless aesthetics that will make it all too easy for the photographs to transport you back to these full-hearted feelings.
“zoya was an absolute magician at capturing all the little details, micro-moments, and precious interactions we would have missed otherwise”
“From the first call Zoya took the time to get to know us, our love story and helped guide our vision for the day. It was important to us that the day didn't feel staged or robotic. Reviewing our gallery was like re-living the day through various perspectives that feel truly priceless. She went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best experience and was incredibly attentive and thoughtful at every step."

Her artistic style matched perfectly with what we hoped for, she really understood the vibe we wanted for our day and she greatly exceeded our expectations. Zoya has such a friendly and joyful energy, you will hope she sticks around to hang out after her coverage is done.”

Alaska Photographer FAQs
Frequently Asked. Answered For You.
The minimum amount of coverage available is 8 hours. I have found that this is the optimal amount of time to accomplish the full storytelling effect that makes this approach so stirring and transportive. When sufficient time is given to paint the full picture, we can document the day as it unfolds from start to finish.
Yes, digital is reliable and simpler to capture, and film photography offers a unique softness and nostalgia that simply cannot be replicated. Throughout your wedding, you might catch me switching seamlessly between my digital and film cameras at varying moments. So when you receive your final galleries, you’ll find an exciting yet moving variety of images. Keep in mind, though, that film is more sensitive and most moments will rely on the faster digital pace.
Organic moments and timeless imagery are the key underlying elements of my photojournalistic style. By combining authentic candid photographs with an artistic-minded lens, the results are luxuriously-told stories that will continue to move you for years.
There will be time made for the traditional (and essential) portraits of you as a couple, your bridal party and your loved ones. Otherwise, I will quietly blend in to witness moments as they are. A gentle, yet reassuring presence there to document the artistry of the moment.
That’s the beauty of my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography: you don’t have to do anything other than live. By simply breathing each other in and appreciating the celebration happening in front of you, the feeling will flow freely from you. No posing skills required. That being said, I will of course guide you during portraits and in other moments when a trained eye is needed.
Breathe It In. This Is It.
It’s true, you don’t have to sacrifice the moment for artistic wedding photography.
