Varna Studios originated from a profound passion that grew out of Aurelijus Varna's lifelong hobby.

By seamlessly incorporating films alongside photographs, they breathe added depth and emotion into the final outcome. Guided by Aurelijus' finely honed vision, shaped by years of experience, every endeavour undertaken by Varna Studios bears the unmistakable imprint of his signature style. With every click of the shutter, they aim to authentically capture the purest emotions and the tender vulnerability that makes each wedding truly special.

Nestled in the heart of London, but with projects reaching far and wide, Varna Studios shoots across the globe to document high-end weddings and events for their cherished clients.
