Choosing photography as a career was one of the smartest moves I've ever made. My journey began in 2008 while I was pursuing a degree in the Netherlands and taking photography classes. Initially, I focused on fashion photography, but as I shot more weddings, I became captivated by the art of capturing real life stories through images. The look of joy on the couples’ faces when they saw my photos was a reward in itself and solidified my decision to focus on wedding photography.
After almost two decades of work and countless shoots, I’ve learned it’s not just about having a good camera. It’s about finding the right composition, lighting, and waiting for the right moments to unfold. There’s an awareness of the present that is so key in my work. You can’t miss those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Now, as a luxury destination wedding photographer living on Ibiza, I strive to improve with every shoot and bring my clients' stories to life through my lens.
As a proud father of two amazing sons, I enjoy spending quality time with them— making them laugh and creating memories. My free time is spent with them, along with my wife and friends, where a good glass of wine, soothing music, and warm sunshine bring a smile to my face.
Since 2018, my wife Avieta and I have been traveling the world as a destination wedding and event photographer team, capturing the most beautiful and meaningful moments for couples on their big day. We work to balance high-level styles and pristine color palettes with the raw emotions of a wedding, and the rich story behind each bride and groom’s union. It’s a magnificent artistic privilege. Every day I wake up feeling grateful for this opportunity to do what I love and create memories that will last a lifetime.
With over 15 years of experience shooting around the world, Youri brings a soft and luminous style to his work; it’s natural and living. He loves a good warm and sunny location like his home in Ibiza, but his Dutch roots also thrive in the tranquility and beauty of a winter wonderland in the mountains. When the temperature drops, there's nothing quite like heating up by the fireplace and enjoying its warmth. And in case you're wondering, a fresh slice of peanut butter toast never fails to start his day off right! He speaks English, Dutch, and German fluently, and is working on his Spanish.
Born in Zurich, Switzerland with Serbian roots, Avieta began her professional career in Zurich as the first woman ever employed at Google’s European headquarters. There, she implemented the people-first culture that still thrives today. Then after running a successful consulting career, she later met Youri in Ibiza and recognized how much she missed the creative world. Since 2018, she has been harnessing her natural artistic eye and photography skills to assist Youri, working together and traveling the world to capture exceptional moments. She is a proud mother of two grown children, speaks 6 different languages, and runs her own female-focused branding and photography business. You can find her photography work here.
