THE EXPERIENCE 

CAPTURING TIMELESS MOMENTS AROUND THE GLOBE

From my hometown in the Netherlands to my adopted home in Ibiza, I has spent almost two decades photographing luxury weddings and high-end events all over the world.

REAL, PURE EMOTIONS

As a wedding photographer I love to seek those moments of genuine joy and connection— the bold laugh of a friend, the delighted tears of a family member, the incomparable look of lovers. Natural beauty is my guiding light, but it is my quest for capturing the story and creating a high-end, bespoke experience that sets me apart.

BEHIND THE LENS - YOURI CLAESSENS


TIMELESS, PERSONAL,
and ELEGANT. ENRAPTURED BY PASSION. 

I am fine-art wedding photographer based in Ibiza. Together with my wife and business partner Avieta I travel all over the world to capture the best and most beautiful destination weddings and private events. Between the two of us we speak 6 languages fluently, allowing us to create genuine relationships with our clients and to give a unique personal experience. Photography for me is more than just work — it’s my way of seeing the world: it's making intimate connections and telling a story.  


We count the 
unforgettable moments, the in-between feelings

My clients are seekers of beauty and lovers of travel, with the taste for adventure and sea salt in their hair. Let wanderlust guide you. Let the story of your events unfold in front of you, and relive these days through luminous, soul-stirring images. Let me transport you back into the feeling of it all.
