Capturing real moments
as editorial love stories

A small intro to our own love story

We're Liana & Vadym — and we're in love with raw love.

Two lovebird photographers, originally from Ukraine, now based in Barcelona. We both started photography in 2012 — that's 22 years between us — and joined together as Couple Stories when we got married in 2018.

We work as a quiet duo: one of us close to the small moments, the other reading the whole room. Movies, music, vintage magazines, and art shape how we see — you'll find us at the Joan Miró Foundation, or cooking and dancing wildly in the kitchen to Sinatra and Coldplay.

The pictures we make for you will mean something not just now, but ten, twenty, fifty years from now. We approach every story with that in mind.

Love, L & V ♡

tips for: finding your photographer

Our art is inspired by movies, novels, vintage fashion magazines, postcards, and love letters.

Cinematic. Timeless. Editorial. We chase pictures that look less like wedding photography and more like a 35mm photo found in your grandparents' attic — soft grain, real color, the kind of frame that asks you to keep looking.

We work with available light when we can, with intention when we can't. We give our couples room to be themselves. The result is a quiet, honest archive — one you'll want to print, frame, and live with.

re: where we'll meet you

Barcelona · Spain · Europe ·
Worldwide.

We're based in Barcelona and travel without hesitation. Roughly a third of our weddings each year happen somewhere we've never been — that's the part we love most. Tell us where you're going; we're already half-packed.

re: the questions we get most
  • For Signature weddings, you'll receive 500+ edited images on average — sometimes more, depending on hours of coverage. Engagement sessions deliver 60+, elopements 200+. We don't cap delivery; we cap quality.

  • We don't. Raw files are unfinished — they're not the photograph, they're the negative. Every image you receive is finished by us, the way we mean for it to look.

  • For weddings in Europe, travel is often included in the collection. Anywhere further, we quote travel transparently and book everything ourselves so logistics never become your problem.

  • A 25% retainer holds your date. The balance is due two weeks before your wedding. We countersign a simple contract that covers expectations both ways — short, plain language.

  • A preview gallery of 30–50 favourites lands in your inbox within 7 days. The full edited gallery is delivered within 8 weeks.

  • Yes — we design heirloom linen-bound albums in-house and walk you through every spread. Most couples add this after seeing the full gallery.
