Yana Korn Photography stands at the intersection of elegant storytelling and high-end fashion photography. With a unique ability to capture both the beauty and emotion of weddings, Yana Korn has built a name for herself over the past 14 years, blending her background in fashion and commercial work with the personal, intimate moments of couples’ special days.
Yana doesn't just take photographs; she creates art. "For me, photography is not just about capturing moments but about creating art that tells a story," Yana says, "Every detail matters, from the lighting to the composition, to the colors and the textures." Her images are not only a reflection of her couple’s love story but a celebration of aesthetic beauty and timeless elegance.
Before discovering wedding photography, Yana worked extensively in the fashion and commercial photography world. This foundation is clearly evident in the way she approaches weddings. Her attention to detail and sense of composition is unmatched, creating a striking balance between candid moments and editorial-style portraits. "I discovered wedding photography about 12 years ago," Yana shares. "After working in the fashion and commercial industry, and fell in love with it."
Yana’s signature style can be described as "elegant storytelling with a fashion touch," a blend that allows her to capture not only the key moments of the day but also the essence of the couple, their personalities, and their love.
Yana's work is rooted in precision and quality. She uses the Nikon Z8, ensuring that her images are crisp, vibrant, and full of life. The equipment is just one piece of her process, though; post-production is equally important. Yana takes pride in her high-end editing and retouching techniques, ensuring that every final image looks polished and timeless.
One of the aspects Yana loves most about her work is the emotions she witnesses. "I'm so in love with the charming beauty, emotions, tension of two people celebrating their love and enjoying time with their family and close friends," she says with enthusiasm.
This love for emotion and connection drives her to capture the most genuine moments. Her goal is to ensure that each frame she takes conveys the unique story of the couple’s relationship. "The heartfelt connection with my couple ensuring that every frame shows their unique beauty and tells a unique story of their love," Yana notes.
Yana understands that each wedding is unique and that couples often have specific ideas for their big day. As a result, she works closely with clients to achieve their desired outcome, offering customized packages to meet their individual needs. If a couple needs something tailored, she’s happy to create a custom package.
Yana typically offers 10 hours of coverage per wedding, providing ample time to capture everything from getting ready to the final dances. She limits herself to covering 23 weddings per year, ensuring that each couple receives her full attention and dedication.
Yana believes that the key to beautiful wedding photos lies in trusting the photographer and letting go of stress. "Trust your photographer to capture genuine moments," she advises. "Relax, enjoy the wonderful experience, and let your love shine through." She also encourages couples to pay attention to small details—like accessories, flowers, or props—that can add a touch of elegance and personality to their photos.
As a destination wedding photographer, Yana has a deep appreciation for the beauty of travel and new locations. "I work most of time in Italy, Switzerland, Mallorca, Holland, France," she says, highlighting her love for European landscapes. However, Yana is also available for weddings anywhere in the world, always ready to travel to capture a couple's most important day.
