ABOUT ME

Capturing Love, One Frame at a Time
Hello! I’m Inna Chirko, a passionate wedding photographer based in the beautiful state of Vermont. My journey into photography began as a personal quest to capture the fleeting moments of life, and it has blossomed into a fulfilling career where I have the privilege of preserving the love stories of countless couples.
My Story
Born and raised in the picturesque landscapes of small country - Kyrgyzstan, I have always been inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds me. This inspiration is reflected in my photography, where I strive to blend the elegance of human connection with the charm of our stunning environment. Whether it’s the rolling hills of Shelburne or the quaint streets of Burlington, I find joy in turning these settings into the perfect backdrops for your wedding day.
My Approach
I believe every couple has a unique story, and it’s my mission to tell yours through my lens. My style is a mix of candid, documentary photography with a touch of artistic flair. I love to capture those unscripted moments—the laughter, the tears, the joy—that make your day truly yours. I pride myself on being more than just a photographer; I am a storyteller, an artist, and most importantly, a friend who is there to support you every step of the way.

Of course! What is important to you, is important to me. I do my best to highlight everything that has meaning and is part of your wedding day vision!

Each wedding is unique, but in general, around 65/hour of coverage. Quality over quantity is important to me, and telling your story in a way that lets your personality shine through, is always the goal.
