“Its never just about the photos – its about what they make you feel. The gallery isnt a collection of images; its a portal”
Yolanta Birkhane is a wedding photographer working between what is seen and what is felt. Her work blends raw, documentary moments with editorial frames—a balance between instinct and intention. It feels immediate, yet built to age well.
Her background as a circus artist shapes the way she sees: through movement, tension, and timing. Photography began at the margins, backstage — where nothing was ever fully controlled and everything was alive.
Drawn to contrast, she captures where light meets shadow, elegance meets imperfection, stillness meets movement. The images hold space for ambiguity — for what lingers in the in-between. Each gallery is built around feeling. Not just how it looked, but how it lived.

We are beyond grateful for the story you’ve told through your photos
Yolanta! We could never have dreamed of a better wedding photographer than you.
It was such a gamble – reaching out to you just two weeks before our wedding, full of hope after coming across your profile. But we instantly fell in love with your style and just knew you matched our vibe.
You responded with an energy that was exactly what we needed in the midst of all the pre-wedding stress. You were calm, you asked the right questions to help us focus on what truly mattered that day, and it felt incredible to be met with such skill and passion for what you do.
Having you by our side on the biggest day of our lives was nothing short of amazing. You kept that same energy going, making us feel completely at ease and natural. You fit in immediately – no awkward warm-up, no friction, just effortless connection.
And then. The delivery. The photos. It’s not just the subjects you captured – it’s the emotions in every single image that fill us with love every time we look at them. We are beyond grateful for the story you’ve told through your photos. We’ll keep coming back to them, and they’ll always bring us back to how that day felt for us. And for that, we truly can’t thank you enough.
A few that feel extra special to us are, of course, the ones with our daughters. And then the portraits of just the two of us—inside the palace and out on the street. They are incredible.

Pure, raw, and elegant
We all know you’re an incredible photographer, but apparently you’re also an amazing videographer? We are forever grateful to you for capturing the essence and emotions of our wedding day – not only did you fulfill all our requests, but you completely exceeded our (very high!) expectations. Having you film our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!
There’s nothing traditional about your work – it’s pure, raw, and elegant.
I love the moment when the dinner and party part of the film begins. The way you dared to choose background music we hadn’t requested—and absolutely nailed it—was such a success. That section instantly transports me back to that feeling of walking through the rain to the venue, finally sitting down, and just soaking it all in.
The form we filled out beforehand wasn’t just a great way to communicate our wishes with you—it also helped us align and really articulate our vision. That was so valuable.
I’ve already been recommending you to others (wish you weren’t booked on that date!), and I’ll absolutely continue to do so.

Yolanta truly brought the energy and vibe of our wedding into these images
Yolanta, how do we begin? We loved having you at our wedding! From the very start of the day to the very end, I felt so comfortable having you around – and the photos you captured are just incredible. We cried, laughed, smiled, and relived every emotion of the day when we received them. You truly brought the energy and vibe of our wedding into these images.
From the moment we met you, it felt like you were a friend – like we had known you forever, and you just got us. We threw a tight schedule your way, and you still delivered beyond all expectations! Truly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
It was so impressive how you handled such a large group and made everything look so effortless and natural. We love the candid shots – looking at them, we feel like we’re right back in the moment again.
You understood our vibe from the very beginning – it was a perfect match! Your attention to detail, your thoughtful preparation, everything made this experience so special.
We will tell everyone about you!!!
We’ve already had so many comments on our photos… even acquaintances in Australia are reaching out to Amelia saying how cool and amazing they are!!
