Documentary Wedding + Editorial Beauty
Based in Calgary, AB
I am a wedding, elopement and couples photographer
I document love stories in a natural, honest and unobtrusive way — focusing on real emotions, connection, and the in-between moments that make your story yours.
I am based in Canada and available for selected destination weddings worldwide. Travel is part of my work, but my focus always stays the same creating honest and timeless imagery, wherever the story takes place.
My story
I bought my first camera in my first year of university, originally thinking I would go into fashion photography. I started with portraits and focused on light, style, and expression.
Everything changed when I began shooting weddings and love stories. I realised I was drawn not just to how people look, but to how they feel in real moments.
Today, I focus on honest, timeless wedding photography that captures real connection and emotion.

Hello, I’m Galyna, and I’d be honored to capture the beautiful moments of your Love Story.
Wedding Collection Rome, Italy 2023
This photoshoot took place in Rome at the end of summer 2023. The weather was absolutely perfect, and although the city was bustling with crowds, we used this energy to our advantage, capturing the couple at the heart of the summer season in Rome. The photos highlight iconic Roman features, including a delicious pasta meal at a restaurant near the Pantheon, shots by the Trevi Fountain, and the timeless beauty of the Pantheon itself. The combination of the lively atmosphere and the couple’s intimate moments made this shoot truly unforgettable.
“In Rome, the heart is always happy.”
— Eat Pray Love (2010, Rome)
Rome is a city where every corner whispers romance, and each street is a timeless backdrop for love stories waiting to be told.
