Your expat friendly photographer in the Netherlands

Meet the Photographer for dreamers, romantics & free spirits

Hi, I'm Boryana Mileva, the heart and soul behind Avelim Photography (it's just my last name reversed!). I'm a self-taught photographer, working graphic designer, and behind the camera... a hopeless romantic.
People I work with have often never done photoshoots before. I make sure my clients enjoy themselves while being photographed, and they always walk away with images they love. I document weddings, maternity sessions, and love across the Netherlands for people with big feelings and beautiful stories.

Let's chat

my philosophy

Warm, dreamy, and emotionally honest...


... my work is about capturing the atmosphere of your moment, not just the visuals.


I photograph in a way that feels discrete and intuitive, giving space to feelings and natural interactions.

​

This is my philosophy, when I assemble the collage of your memories. 

Testimonials

Working with Boryana was an absolute dream! From our first message to the wedding day, she was wonderfully kind, patient, and attentive. Looking through our photo gallery felt like reliving every happy tear and laugh all over again. Boryana has an extraordinary eye for detail and a passion that truly shines through.
