Some photographers capture moments. Others create art. Andrii Vernyi does both. With over a decade of experience and more than 300 weddings behind him, Andrii is a storyteller, using his camera to weave together the raw emotions, fleeting glances, and timeless beauty of each wedding day. From Ukraine to Europe and now across the United States, he continues to refine his craft, blending authenticity with aesthetics to create wedding photography that speaks to the soul.
“My name is Andrii, and I am a photographer with over 11 years of experience. Having photographed more than 300 weddings throughout my career, I can confidently say that this is my true passion.”
Andrii’s journey began in Ukraine, where he first fell in love with the magic of photography. Over time, his work took him across Europe, capturing love stories in breathtaking locations. Today, he is based in the United States, traveling across the country to document weddings with his signature artistic approach.
Beyond photography, Andrii is also a mentor. “I have experience in teaching photography, helping others develop their skills. At the moment, I am writing a book that will guide and support people in learning or improving their photography abilities.”
Andrii’s approach to wedding photography is deeply rooted in emotion. He describes his style as a fusion of art and documentary, where natural moments unfold effortlessly in front of the lens. “I am a wedding photographer who values authenticity, emotions, and aesthetics in every frame. My goal is to capture genuine feelings, tender glances, and warm embraces, creating bright and harmonious images.”
His priority? Ensuring that his couples feel completely at ease. “For me, it’s essential that couples feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. That’s why I work effortlessly and unobtrusively, preserving the sincerity of each moment and creating images that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.”
To create his stunning visuals, Andrii relies on high-end professional equipment, ensuring every moment is captured with clarity and depth. His setup includes:
Canon R5 Mark II
Canon R5
Canon 28-70mm f2.0
Canon 16-35mm f2.8
Canon 50mm f1.2
These tools allow him to adapt to different lighting conditions and settings, delivering consistently breathtaking results.
While the magic happens in the moment, post-processing is where Andrii refines each image to its full potential. “I focus on a natural and timeless editing style that enhances the beauty of each moment without making the images look overly processed.”
His approach involves careful adjustments to colors, contrast, and exposure, ensuring a consistent and elegant aesthetic. “My goal is to create a consistent, elegant aesthetic that feels both artistic and authentic. Every image is carefully retouched to ensure it looks its best while preserving the genuine emotions and atmosphere of the day.”
For Andrii, photography is more than just a profession—it’s a calling. “It’s an incredible feeling to witness and preserve such meaningful moments, to be a part of their special day, and to tell their unique love story through my images.”
But his passion doesn’t stop at capturing moments. He also loves sharing his knowledge. “I also love teaching others about photography—it’s rewarding to help people develop their skills and passion. This combination of creativity, human connection, and storytelling brings me immense joy.”
A strong connection between the photographer and the couple is essential for creating breathtaking images. “First and foremost, my priority is understanding my clients and their vision for their special day.”
Andrii ensures that every detail is discussed beforehand, so the couple feels confident in his ability to bring their vision to life. “If they seek guidance, I am always happy to share insights from my experience. Most importantly, I strive to build a friendly and comfortable connection with my clients so they feel at ease and natural in front of the camera.”
No two weddings are alike, and Andrii believes in offering flexibility. “Yes, absolutely! I can create a custom package tailored to the couple’s specific needs and preferences. Whether it’s adjusting the coverage time, adding extra sessions, or including special requests, I am happy to work with them to ensure they get exactly what they’re looking for.”
Preparation is key to stunning wedding photos, and Andrii offers valuable guidance to couples. “Yes, I have several guides for brides that can help them solve the issue. Also, the client can write or contact me with any question.”
His experience allows him to anticipate challenges and help couples feel prepared and confident for their big day.
Andrii’s love for travel means he is available for weddings anywhere across the U.S. “Yes, I can photograph in any state across the U.S.”
He finds inspiration in beautiful landscapes and unique venues, capturing love stories in breathtaking locations.
For Andrii Vernyi, photography is more than just capturing images—it’s about storytelling, connection, and artistry. His dedication to authenticity and aesthetics ensures that every couple receives timeless images they’ll cherish forever.
