A decade of Mediterranean light. Every frame on Kodak Portra. Fifteen weddings a year — no more.
I'm Olya Kobruseva
I've spent over a decade photographing weddings across Spain and southern Europe — vineyard estates near Barcelona, clifftop ceremonies in Mallorca, sun-warmed courtyards in Seville, lavender fields in Provence, the Côte d'Azur at golden hour.
I shoot exclusively on analog film, not because it's a trend, but because nothing else holds Mediterranean light the way Kodak Portra does. The warmth in your skin. The softness of a glance. The feeling of a moment that is already becoming a memory.
I take on fifteen weddings a year. Not more. So that every couple I photograph gets my complete creative attention — from our first conversation to the final image in your hand.
"Olya didn't just photograph our wedding in Mallorca — she knew exactly where the light would be perfect at golden hour, which corners of the venue to use, and how to make every moment feel completely natural. The film photos are beyond anything we imagined."
An elegant celebration in the hills above Aix-en-Provence, where warm Provençal stone met Kodak Portra in the most beautiful way. Featured in Style Me Pretty.
Golden hour in Seville's Plaza de España, honeymoon portraits in the Alcázar gardens — the kind of warm, unhurried afternoon that analog film was made for.
A vibrant summer celebration at Gran Villa Rosa — palm trees, poolside colour, and Barcelona at its most joyful. Shot on Kodak Portra. Featured in Style Me Pretty.
A summer wedding among the cypress gardens of Cigarral de las Mercedes, Toledo — golden evening light, historic grounds, and one of the most beautiful venues in central Spain.
