a little note before we start

Dear almost-newlyweds,

If the thought of wedding photos gives you a tiny knot in your stomach, you are not alone. Maybe you are thinking:

  • “We will look awkward in front of the camera.”
  • “We have no idea how to pose.”
  • “The centre of attention all day? No, thank you.”

Good news: you are exactly my kind of people. I’m a little shy myself, so I know how uncomfortable it feels to stand in front of a camera. That’s why I won’t just tell you to “act natural” and hope for the best. I’ll help you relax, give you a little direction, and make sure we have a good time along the way.

P.S. “I’m not photogenic” won’t work on me, so don’t even try. I hear it a lot, and somehow it’s never true.

What you really want

Quality time with your loved ones and a day you truly enjoy

No hours of stiff posing. We’ll plan the photo time so it feels easy and fun, like a little escape from everyone, a moment just to be present with each other. The rest of the day you simply enjoy your people, while I catch the hugs, the laughs and the happy tears around you.

Real wedding stories

No two days are the same, but they all have one thing in common: couples who forgot about the camera and just had a good time.

What I photograph

Love comes in all shapes

Weddings, elopements, love stories or a growing family. Whatever the occasion, what I really photograph is the connection between you.

Meet your photographer

Hi, I’m Evelina!

I photograph weddings for couples who feel a little shy in front of the camera.

If the idea of posing makes you nervous, you’re my person! I’ll never leave you standing there unsure what to do with your hands. I tailor the whole shoot to your personalities, guide you when you need it, and quietly step back for the moments that happen on their own. My photos are warm, full of colour, movement and the quiet moments in between.

The photos matter, but so does the experience. It should feel like hanging out with a friend who happened to bring a camera.

So, tell me a bit about you two and we’ll go from there. That’s usually how the friendship starts!

Kind words

Couples who were nervous too

Most of these couples told me they were anxious about being photographed. Here’s what they had to say afterwards

A photoshoot with Evelina is incredibly easy and relaxed. We laughed a lot, and at no point did I feel like I had to know how to pose. Her enthusiastic “Oh, this looks so good!” comments make you feel instantly comfortable and confident.

“She made our wedding day easier right from the start: helped us choose the photoshoot location and tailored the photoshoot format to fit our personalities. Since it was our first photoshoot experience, we didn’t know what to expect but Evelina created a great atmosphere, was well-prepared, and took care of everything.”

Grita & Lukas

“The photographer helped us a lot, starting with visualizing ideas, giving advice, and searching for photoshoot locations, and ending with the wedding day itself. Evelina was not just a photographer, she felt more like a guest.”

Noralyn & Ramūnas

“During the photo shoot, we were given instructions on what to do, but we were left to express ourselves. The lights, angles and compositions are all taken care of to perfection, demonstrating technical and artistic competence.”

Rachel & Giuliano

“Before the photoshoot, we were a little nervous, wondering whether we would feel free enough in front of the camera and whether we would be able to relax. But we felt safe, calm, and very natural. The warm, sincere, and professional communication helped a lot.”

Dominyka & Aurimas

Questions couples ask

Good to know

Can’t find your question here? Just ask me. No question is too small, I promise.

We are really awkward in front of a camera. Is that okay?

More than okay, it’s my favourite kind of couple. I give simple, clear directions, little prompts and games, so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! I’m based in Vilnius, Lithuania, and photograph weddings and elopements across Europe, including Italy, Spain and France. Tell me where you’re dreaming of, and we’ll plan it together.

How soon will we see our photos?

You get a sneak peek within a week, while everything still feels fresh. Your full gallery follows, edited by me by hand in my warm and colourful style.

We don’t have a date yet. Is it too early to write?

Not at all. It’s never too early to say hello. I’m happy to share planning advice and location ideas even before you have decided everything.

Can you help us find a location?

Yes, I’d love to. I’ll suggest locations that fit your vibe and share ideas for activities that feel like you.

Do you photograph couples, maternity and families too?

Yes, mostly in Vilnius and around Lithuania. Engagements, anniversaries, bumps, toddlers and dogs are all very welcome.

Looking for a little inspiration?

Let’s get this conversation rolling

It’s never too early to get in touch, even if you are still figuring out the date and details. Tell me a little about you two, and I’ll happily share ideas and advice from my experience.
