Couple Photographer in Provence | Valeriia Stanis

Provence has a light unlike anywhere else. Golden, soft, unhurried, it makes everything feel more tender. I'm based in Aix-en-Provence and photograph couples, engagements, elopements and weddings all across the region, from the cobblestone streets of Aix to lavender fields, olive groves and hidden villages or wherever your story takes us.

Whether it's a romantic walk through Aix-en-Provence, an elopement in the countryside or a wedding day in the South of France - you're in good hands!

What a Provence session looks like?

Provence invites you to slow down and that's exactly what we do. You walk together, breathe the air, take in where you are. No rushing and no stiff posing. Just you, the landscape,and the kind of light that makes everything look like a painting!

These are the photos you'll look at years from now and feel exactly how it was.

What I offer ?

You're in Provence or planning to be. Maybe you live here and want to capture this place you call home. Maybe you're visiting for a wedding, an elopement or simply because Provence called to you.

There won't be rigid posing. I create a space where you can simply be yourselves - wander through the streets of Aix, walk through the fields, hold each other close and I'll stay close, watching and documenting your important moments. The ones you'll want to look at twenty years from now and feel exactly how it was.

It's easy to work with me🙂 If you prefer, we can always have a call before the session to get to know each other better.

Browse the options below and find what feels right. And if nothing quite fits, the last one is for you!

  • I specialise in couples and love stories - engagements, elopements, intimate weddings and any moment worth remembering. My style is documentary and candid: natural light, your energy, emotions and precious moments . No stiff posing, no over-edited results, just you, as you are.

  • Provence is usually beautiful anytime of the year and if there is no severe conditions outside only a little rain - it will only make your photos look unique! I want you to feel comfortable and I also don’t want to damage my own equipment :) We’ll figure it out!

  • Absolutely! And if you're feeling a little nervous in front of the camera that's completely normal, almost everyone tells me the same thing 🙂

    Even though my style is candid and natural, I do guide you throughout the session. I'll suggest where to walk, what to do, give you little actions to play with or to talk and then I step back and watch for that exact moment to happen. Most people forget about the camera pretty quickly and people around us also don’t care and will forget about us in seconds!

  • No - RAW files are not provided.
    If you book me it means that you like my style and trust the whole process.

  • It depends on the type of a session, but I do deliver quiet fast, because usually I can’t wait to share it with you!

  • I’m based in Aix-en-Provence, in the South of France, but I work across Provence and Paris. I also travel for photography projects throughout Europe upon request.
