Hi! I’m Elizaveta—but please, call me Liza.
I’m a lifestyle wedding photographer based near Düsseldorf, and I have a confession: I get excited easily.
Whether it’s the high-voltage energy of a wedding, the "beautiful chaos" of family life, or the quiet glow of a newly engaged couple—I love it all. I don’t just take photos; I fall in love with your story, your "crazy" ideas, and the wild beauty that surrounds us everywhere.
From Pencils to Pixels
My art career started at age two (the moment I figured out how to hold a pencil!). I spent my childhood obsessed with drawing and painting, eventually graduating from the Moscow State University of Industrial and Applied Arts at 23.
While I started in design, I quickly realized I’d rather be in the world than behind a desk. For nearly two decades, I’ve spent almost every day either clicking a shutter, editing magic into frames, or dreaming up new ways to see the world.
The "Liza" Experience: Guided Realism
I believe your wedding photos should feel like you—not a stiff, awkward version of you. I specialize in "Guided Realism."
-
No "Statue" Poses: I use light prompts and fun activities to spark genuine laughter and real connection.
-
The Full Story: From the nervous morning coffee to the unexpected "middle-of-the-dancefloor" moments, I capture it all.
-
Your Comfort First: My goal is to make you feel so relaxed that you forget I’m there—allowing the real magic to happen.
Part Weeding Photographer, Part Professional Adventurer
I’ve visited 40 countries, speak three languages (English, Russian, and German), and feel at home almost anywhere. If you’re planning something "unusual," I’m already packing my bags!
My "Wait, You Did WHAT?" Resume (A Few Things about me that Most Photographers Don't Have on Their CV):
-
Surviving the Arctic: 14 nights in a tent past the permafrost line? Check.
-
Volcano Shredding: Snowboarding down a Siberian volcano? Done.
-
Sky-High Views: Skydiving, paragliding, and piloting gliders. Standard Tuesday.
-
The Vow of Silence: 10 days of Vipassana meditation in India. (I promise to talk at your wedding, though!)
-
Fine Art Roots: A degree from Moscow State University of Arts and a winter spent painting.
Where can we meet?
Whether you’re dreaming of a wedding in the mountains, on a yacht through Norwegian fjords, or in the Icelandic snows—I’m your person.
-
Amsterdam & Germany: I’m just 2 hours from Amsterdam and don't charge extra travel fees to get there!
-
Globally: I navigate foreign lands with the confidence of a pro traveler, so you never have to worry about your photographer getting lost on the way to the altar.
A Quick Heads-Up: Summer weekends are my "rockstar" dates and they fly off the calendar fast! To make sure I can be there for your big adventure, reach out as early as possible.
