Youri Claessens Photography

I’m Youri Claessens, a wedding photographer with nearly two decades dedicated to creating luminous, elegant, and emotionally rich images. From my base in Santa Eulària des Riu I specialise in wedding photography and wedding reportage, supporting couples who want a bespoke approach: intimate island ceremonies, celebrations across Europe and far‑flung destination weddings where light and feeling shape the narrative. My approach blends fine‑art and documentary styles: I seek natural beauty and unposed moments — the sincere smile, the unexpected tear — to build a wedding gallery that brings you back to the feeling of the day every time you look at it. Together with my wife and partner, Avieta, we offer a boutique, personalised experience; we travel as a team when required and care for every detail, from pre-wedding planning to final delivery. I work with a clear philosophy: tell the whole story without rushing. I don’t “count hours”, I count moments. That’s why I accept a limited number of weddings each year; I want to be fully present and ensure every edit is made by us at home, preserving the tonal consistency and palette that define my work. If you’re concerned about wedding photographer pricing, I’m happy to talk and explain how we tailor coverage to your priorities without compromising quality. Choose us if you’re looking for a wedding photographer who combines visual sensitivity, international experience and a warm, approachable manner. We speak multiple languages and connect easily with couples and families, which helps when documenting multicultural celebrations and diverse destinations. Although wedding photography is my primary focus, I also run workshops and mentoring for photographers — a complementary offering for those who want to learn the craft — and I take on private event photography when it fits our schedule. Telling your love story with respect, elegance and feeling is my priority. If you dream of wedding photos that are both timeless and personal, from Santa Eulària des Riu to anywhere in the world, let’s talk and make those moments live forever.
