Romantic at heart, observer by nature.
I believe love is worth celebrating, true beauty lasts, and pancakes are just dessert pretending to be breakfast.
Moving between gentle guidance and quiet observation, I document the unscripted moments and those that take your breath away.
“I always thought I was awkward in front of the camera. Until now.”

“Frankly, you won’t find images like this anywhere else.”

Xenia’s photography style beautifully blends documentary and editorial aesthetics, capturing authentic moments while also creating stunning, stylized images. She believes that the wedding day should be as enjoyable as it is memorable, which is why her approach is easygoing and relaxed.
Together with her partner Mark, Xenia captures weddings around the world and enjoy their shared passions for travel, art, and life’s simple pleasures—whether it’s cooking beef bourguignon or feeding the hummingbirds that visit their backyard.
Xenia's background in fashion—both as a model and a photographer—gives her a unique perspective on being in the spotlight, allowing her to create a relaxed atmosphere for her couples. Mark’s film and TV experience adds a rich storytelling dimension to their craft.
I'm xenia — constant world-wanderer, and passionate gems collector.
My journey in art and beauty has been lifelong. I started my photography adventure with a film camera as a kid, and developing those images felt like pure magic. This love for photography turned into a passion for exploring the world. I enjoy traveling to new places and immersing myself in different cultures. When I’m not capturing moments behind the lens, I relish cozy gatherings with friends, sharing stories over delicious food. Most of all, I treasure my time with Mark, my love and best friend, who shares my zest for life and adventure.
“Xenia has an exceptional eye for capturing the magic of every moment.”
