Fariba Akbarpour is not just a wedding photographer—she’s a visual poet, a memory maker, and a seasoned artist with a Master’s degree in Photography from the Art University. With over 18 years of experience, she has built Yada Studio into a brand that speaks the language of love across continents.
“I’m Fariba Akbarpour, a passionate photographer with a Master’s in Photography from Art University. For over 18 years, I’ve had the joy of capturing love stories around the world with my incredible team.”
Every image by Fariba and her team is steeped in emotion, framed with intention, and shaped by a profound understanding of aesthetics.
When asked about her photography style, Fariba describes it as a seamless blend of documentary truth and fine art beauty. Each photo tells a real story—raw, elegant, and deeply personal.
“My team & I combine documentary honesty with fine art aesthetics to create timeless, heartfelt images.”
There’s a soft strength in her work—a balance between the spontaneous and the refined. This duality is what makes Yada Studio stand out in a sea of sameness.
Great artistry requires great tools. Fariba relies on state-of-the-art cameras and prime lenses to ensure every detail is crystal clear, every emotion perfectly preserved.
Post-production is just as meticulous. Her workflow involves Lightroom for thoughtful color grading and Photoshop for flawless refinement.
“We use Lightroom for color correction, exposure, and tone adjustments. Then we move to Photoshop for skin retouching, cleanup, and fine details like dodge & burn.”
This attention to technical precision elevates each image into something truly timeless.
What sets Fariba apart is not just her eye for detail but her heart for people. Her approach to client relationships is deeply collaborative.
“I take the time to understand my clients’ vision and provide thoughtful guidance to ensure the final result surpasses their expectations.”
Whether it’s a small elopement or a grand destination wedding, she believes in building trust from the very first conversation.
At Yada Studio, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Fariba works closely with couples to craft packages that reflect their individuality, traditions, and dreams.
“Absolutely! Since every couple has unique tastes and traditions, it’s important to understand their vision and preferences. We’ll work closely with them to create a custom package that perfectly aligns with their needs and reflects their personal style and cultural values.”
It’s this commitment to personalization that keeps clients coming back and referring others, time after time.
Fariba’s passion for destination weddings is palpable. Of all the places she’s traveled to document love, Italy holds a special place in her heart.
“Yes, we do destination weddings! We’ve had the privilege of shooting many weddings in Italy, and I have to say, it’s one of my favorite destinations. The stunning landscapes, rich history, and romantic ambiance make it the perfect backdrop for any celebration.”
From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the timeless charm of the Amalfi Coast, she finds inspiration in every sun-soaked frame.
After nearly two decades in the industry, Fariba reflects on what she would tell her younger self if she were just starting:
“Focus on quality and consistency. Building a reputation takes time, but consistency and delivering high-quality work will earn you the trust and loyalty of your client.”
It’s a reminder that great artistry is not only about passion, but patience and purpose, too.
