Yana Benjamin | Boutique Weddings + Adventure Elopements

Hello there, lovely! My name is Yana, I am a European living in Michigan, crazy in love with the California coastline and zinfandels, ambient music and a good hearty pho. I am also a documentary photographer specializing in boutique weddings & adventure elopements available to travel worldwide. Before finding my niche in wedding photography, I studied extensively in the classical street photography style, which provides the foundation of my approach: capturing "the moment" and telling visual stories. Let's dream up your wedding day captured in unposed, authentic, moody, film-like images.

Please reach out to me over my photography website. Otherwise, unfortunately, I won’t be able to respond to you via Zola. My documentary approach with a fine art aesthetic has been the driver of my brand since the very beginning. I will provide a tailored experience with your unique wedding in mind.
