Lena Karelova - Wedding & Brand Photographer in Barcelona

WOW! Where do I start. I started communicating with Lena back in July for my proposal last week, from the very start all the way to the moment itself Lena was FANTASTIC, extremely helpful and insightful. Lena makes the whole process extremely easy which has resulted in some amazing photos that myself and my partner will treasure for the rest of our lives! Many thanks again Lena, and for anyone looking for an engagement photographer please look no further! 😊

Lena provided the perfect experience. Offered help and answered questions in a timely matter for the planning of the photos. Suggested environments and provided documents to help guide myself towards what I wanted. Her presence was calm, encouraging, helpful, invested, and engaged into emphasizing the proposal as a whole. I would recommend to anyone.

Lena did an amazing job capturing this dream proposal for my fiancé and I. From the start, her communication was A+ and made the entire process seamless and reassuring, all the way up to the big moment. We cannot thank her enough for her responsiveness, her creativity and her professional attitude. 10 out of 10, highly recommend

Lena was so sweet with my three kids and we were able to capture beautiful family photos in Gothic Quarter and Park Guell. She was very knowledgeable on timing and locations and I am so happy with the results.

Lena was amazing. She was able to capture our family vacation with 15 people and make all feel comfortable with the process. She is quick but did not make us feel rushed. The resulting photographs are amazing and will be cherished

I discovered Lena on Instagram, and even without any prior references, I felt drawn to her aesthetic and the way she presents herself as a woman. Trusting my intuition, I decided to book my first personal branding photo session with her — and it did not disappoint. Lena made everything incredibly easy. She prepared a clear and inspiring moodboard aligned with the goals I had in mind, and guided me through those first, often awkward moments in front of the camera with genuine warmth and ease. I felt completely comfortable with her during the shoot. We had great chemistry — just what I was looking for. The atmosphere was fun and empowering, with music that helped me relax and brought out the best in both of us. The results were wonderful. After the session, she delivered everything on time, exactly as promised in the package — and honestly, I feel like she went above and beyond. I’m thrilled with the entire experience. Lena is efficient, professional, warm, and without a doubt, I would hire her again.

We had the pleasure of working with Lena for our family photo session in Barcelona at Park Guell and she was absolutely incredible! We're a family of six - including a toddler and a baby who were not in the best mood after a long travel day from the States and adjusting to the time change - yet Lena somehow worked magic. The final photos were stunning. Her composition and editing style are beautiful and she managed to make it look like we had Park Guell entirely to ourselves. Booking and communicating with her was seamless from start to finish. Lena was patient, professional, and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her and would book her again in a heartbeat!

Lena is such a pro! I did 2 photo sessions with Lena recently and I could not recommend her more. The whole experience has been easy, super fun and the photos are beautiful, thank you Lena :)

Thank you Lena for making my proposal so special! From the planning phase up until the moment, there was great communication despite being halfway across the world. The photos turned out so magical! Cannot recommend her enough!

Lena is fantastic!! She was the photographer for the proposal and the photos are amazing. Everything went very smooth and she is super nice. She comforts you and makes the photoshoot a pleasant moment. Big recommendation from our side🙌 Thanks again Lena🙏

Lena was an absolute pleasure to work with for my surprise engagement. From planning, to execution, everything went perfectly. Communication was fantastic and the memories we captured are priceless. Thank you again Lena!

Lena did an absolutely fantastic job with our engagement shoot this summer. She was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us clear directions on not only finding the area but how to pose for photos as well. Highly recommend using Lena for a photoshoot.

Lena is absolutely incredible! From the moment we met, Lena made us feel so comfortable and at ease, and it truly showed in the stunning photos she captured. She single handedly made the surprise proposal possible for us! Her creativity and attention to detail are unmatched. She has a unique ability to capture the essence of every moment in a way that feels so natural and authentic. The entire process, from booking to receiving the final images, was seamless and professional. I couldn't be happier with the results — each photo is a work of art! If you're looking for a talented, passionate, and thoughtful photographer, Lena is the one. Highly recommend!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lena during our recent family vacation and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, Lena exceeded our expectations in every way. Lena has a remarkable talent for capturing the essence of family moments in the most beautiful and natural settings. Her keen eye for detail and creative vision turned ordinary scenes into extraordinary memories. What truly stood out was Lena’s warm and engaging personality. She made us all feel at ease, which was especially important with our young children. Her friendly and relaxed approach ensured that everyone was comfortable and having fun, which translated into genuine, joyful expressions in the photos. The final gallery was absolutely stunning. Each image beautifully captured the special moments and emotions of our trip, from candid laughs to tender family hugs. The quality of the photos is exceptional, and the way they tell the story of our trip is something we will cherish forever.

I'm so happy we chose Lena to capture our family photos while we were in Barcelona. Lena captured and delivered incredible, joyful, and sweet photos of our family despite our 18 month old toddler being SUPER cranky almost the entire photo session. I have no idea how she came through with such beautiful pics, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much, Lena!

I AM OBSESSED is an understatement. I did a full brandshoot+ with Lena and the whole experience was incredible. Lena was very considerate and took the time beforehand to help plan the experience. She considered all my ideas and wishes and truly cared about the results. The photos and videos are everything I could have possibly imagined and so much more. THANK YOU! I would do it again anytime.

Lena is a fantastic photographer and a true professional. I proposed to my longtime girlfriend in Barcelona (she said yes!) and Lena helped me in planning and coordinating the effort. She had fantastic recommendations for locations based on the type of scene I was looking for. She was early to the scene and ready when we got there. Lena took amazing photos of both the big moment as well as a little photo shoot after. The moments she captured for us are priceless and I’m very grateful she was the one a part of this big event as she was a big contributor to its success. I highly recommend her as a photographer.

I cannot recommend Lena enough! Her photography and composition is fantastic and she was extremely professional and friendly. Lena helped me plan my engagement well in advance with great suggestions and overall made the process super easy. Highly recommend!!

My wife and I travelled to Spain for our babymoon this summer and had the most wonderful experience with Lena who helped to capture our precious moments together. Due to poor weather conditions, Lena was very flexible in adjusting her schedule to fit us in at a later time and was very communicative during the whole process. She made us feel comfortable during the entire shoot and helped to guide us when needed. Our photos turned out amazing - definitely would recommend Lena to any of our family and friends when they visit Spain.

Lena was an incredible photographer who helped me capture the perfect moment. From helping plan the event, to giving tips to be photogenic, she made the proposal, planning and all transactional aspects of the service seamless. I would highly recommend working with her for proposal photos and planning.

Working with Lena was a great experience! She helped me plan a secret engagement proposal photo shoot for me and my fiance in barcelona that went off without a hitch. Very laid back, fun and easy to work with, both in the lead up to and on the day of the photo shoot. The photos turned out amazing!

Lena was an amazing guide and photographer for my proposal in Sitges, a beautiful town I had never visited before. She assisted me with every detail and captured the most wonderful moments of our engagement. My fiancée and I are so grateful for her work and we highly recommend her services. You will not regret choosing Lena.

Lena is first and foremost, an utmost professional in every sense of the word - she answers emails, queries, understanding briefs in timely manner and a very talented photographer. She captured our family photographs indoor and outdoor evoking our natural dynamics, smiles, with great lighting and nice composition. All the final photographs are outstanding. She is very courteous and pleasant, making it a joy to communicate with. We highly recommend her services! Low Family, Singapore

I wanted to capture some family photos during our recent family trip to Barcelona. Being a photographer myself, choosing a photographer that captures movement and connection was important to me. Lena was so kind, full of great ideas, and made everyone feel at ease. We got our pictures back quickly, and they are so beautiful! I couldn't love them more! Thank you times a million, Lena!

Lena was amazing! From our first time talking all the way through our engagement. She was super flexible, very knowledgeable and helpful with the setup, and was an amazing communicator. If you’re planning an engagement in Barcelona I highly suggest Lena to capture that amazing moment!

As a photographer I always look extra closely at other colleague photographers and look for a photographer who radiates style and class and photographs in beautiful light tones. I also think detailed photos are very important. Well I can tell you…. I have found our photographer for when we are in Barcelona. Lena is very sweet, patient and delivers beautiful fine art photos! We are so happy with our new family photos that are already hanging large in the living room. Thank you very much dear Lena! Keep up the good work and see you next time! Abrazos, Família Ribas Gallardo

We had an amazing experience with Lena!!!! She and my partner worked so hard for my surprise proposal. She was so sweet and really listened to what my fiancé's vision was. I am so grateful!!!!

5 Stars for Lena! I emailed Lena inquiring about her services for our family photo shoot and received her response the same day. She made it very easy to coordinate our session to our preferred preferences, met us on location before we arrived and delivered our photos in the 2 weeks time frame she informed us of for a combo shoot of 9 people. The site she sends photos through is very easy to navigate and really shows such great quality of work in her photography. Easy to share with family and friends as well as download. We absolutely loved our photos that captured our hearts and what we hoped for during our family's visit. We loved the colors, clarity and the memories she helped us to create. I highly recommend Lena for your photo session! Thank you so much Lena!! Kind regards, Sotelo Family

She helped me coordinate additional services to make the engagement shoot very special and was upfront with timelines and pricing. I would recommend using Lena to anyone looking for a flawless experience and great pictures :)

Lena es una excelente profesional que hizo nuestras fotos de compromiso hermosas y la experiencia fantastica. La recomiendo en especial a personas viajando a Barcelona con idea de sorprender a su pareja con un compromiso internacional.

Ha sido un placer trabajar con Lena, súper profesional, paciente y con tanta expertise!! Transmite mucha tranquilidad al hacer una sesión, en mi caso nos tocó una parte en la calle y Lena fue muy amable y comprensiva conmigo, además tiene una vibra e imaginación increíble! Me encantó toda la experiencia, la calidad de su trabajo es A1 y el apoyo brindado antes de empezar, durante y al haber finalizado nuestro trabajo… fue extraordinario! Definitivamente de las mejores que he podido tomar ♥️ muy agradecida!

We had a wonderful family photo shoot with Lena whilst we were visiting Spain. She was professional, responsive and knew exactly how to work with our two young children to get the best from them. We're delighted with the photographs - and are so grateful for the happy memories that Lena captured for us.

Tuve la suerte de que Lena nos hiciera una sesión de fotos y el resultado fue ESPECTACULAR. Además de ser encantadora y muy profesional, nos creo el mejor recuerdo que podríamos tener de nuestra bonita familia. Muchísimas gracias Lena, repetiremos seguro pronto.!

Dear Lena! I want to tell thank you for the beautiful photos you made of me and my beloved boyfriend during our trip to Barcelona. As I am working as a photographer myself I was very precise on choosing who to book for our couple photo session. I am so happy that we found you! Not only the photographs went beyond our expectations, they are so romantic and in the same time a so real, but also your help for all the preparation in advance (outfits, best locations) was something very precious. Thank you so much! I am sure it was not our last time seeing each other. We would definitely recommend Lena to everyone looking for a professional photographer in Spain. Her skills and vision are simply amazing!

We had a wonderful experience with Lena! She had excellent recommendations on neighborhoods and locations for our photos, and was so much fun to work with! Her use of light is what initially attracted me to her photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend if you are looking for a photographer in Barcelona!

Lena is a delight to work with! She makes her subjects feel comfortable and encourages them to do what feels right in front of the camera which creates the most stunning and natural photos. Her editing and usage of light is what attracted me to her work and she truly delivers. If you're looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend, I highly encourage you to reach out to Lena. Gracias Lena!

We are so glad we choose Lena for our special day. Everyone will always love their wedding photos because it depicts their special day. We love ours because of that, as well as appreciating their craft and creativity as great photos in their own right. Lena glided effortlessly around the venue, blending in and making everyone feel at ease, much to the brides delight as she normally avoids being in front of the camera. Lena is also so lovely to deal with. From the initial meeting over coffee to the various skype calls and catch ups. Basically we cannot recommend her enough. From initial call, to the day, to her care and consideration on choosing the right printers and paper samples for the finished book and prints. Lena thank you so much for capturing some of our best memories!

Lena is certainly one of the best photographers in Barcelona ! She took an engagement session for us during our trip. She was very detail-minded and gave us good suggestions on the route and all the posings! Her photos are stunning as well! She's so good at catching our best moments. Overall we love her work so much and she really made our photoshooting a memorable one~Will definitely recommend Lena to all couples who wish to have their engagement session in Barcelona😍

Una fotografa estupenda! La recomeindo al 100%.

I found Lena on google search. We were going on a vacation to Barcelona and wanted to take some family shots which are natural with the beautiful surroundings. Family photoshoot with a 3 yr old is not easy at all but Lena was very accommodating and patient. We had a good time and the photos turned out beautiful :)

Lena made a photo-shooting for the bachelorette party we had in Barcelona in September. We really enjoyed our time spent with her, as she created a pleasant and casual atmosphere so that we could feel ourselves relaxed and not reserved while being photographed. The photo-shooting took place in different locations and the photographer managed to capture the perfect light and angle. The photos we got are so bright, vivid and full of joy and happiness that when looking at them one can still feel the same emotions as on that special day. Thank you, Lena, and hope to see you again! :)
