Named One of the best wedding photographers in Cyprus

Big news - I’ve been named one of the Top 5 Wedding Photographers in Cyprus by Wezoree! Recognition like this always feels special, but more than anything, it’s a moment to pause and reflect on what it means to do this work- and why I love it so much.

I’m not in it for the spotlight. What drives me is connection. The quiet seconds between the big moments. The way a glance, a laugh, a squeeze of the hand can say more than words ever could. That’s what I’m drawn to, and that’s what I’m always chasing through the lens.

Cyprus has given me a front-row seat to some of the most diverse and emotional weddings - cross-cultural celebrations, intimate seaside vows, vibrant family traditions - and it’s always an honour to document them with the care and respect they deserve.

This feature from Wezoree isn’t just a badge - it’s a reminder of the trust couples place in me, and how important it is to show up fully, every single time.

"Rooted in street photography and shaped by a deep love for human connection, Karina Leonenko brings an honest, soulful edge to every wedding she captures. With over 13 years behind the lens, her style blends elegant wedding journalism with a heartfelt documentary approach-seamlessly weaving candid emotion, quiet beauty, and cultural nuance into every frame.

Described by couples as their "honorary bridesmaid with a camera," Karina is more than a photographer, she's your calm in the whirlwind, your biggest cheerleader, and your silent storyteller.

Her presence is gentle, her eye instinctive, and her ability to capture the feeling behind a fleeting moment is what sets her apart."
