“We had interviewed a few photographers for our wedding, but I fell in love with Izida’s portfolio which had such a natural, authentic, and airy vibe.”

ABOUT Izida
YourPHOTOGRAPHER
I’m Izida, the owner of Izida Lukmanova Photography, and I’m so glad you found me! I believe that getting to know my couples is the #1 way to create an amazing photography experience. Let me share a little about myself:
I was born north of the Arctic Circle and lived there for three years.
I’m based in Santa Monica, CA, but I absolutely LOVE to travel—for work or fun!
I have a 7-year-old son named River, who is my favorite person in the entire Universe.
I’m very family-oriented and deeply miss my Russian family. That’s why I treasure wedding days—it’s so special to see families come together to celebrate love.
As a romantic and sentimental person, I tend to shed a tear at every wedding I photograph. I’m passionate about capturing the energy and emotion of love, and my ultimate goal is to ensure my photos are not just seen but truly felt.
My style is a mix of candid moments and guided poses. Fun fact: sometimes even candid-looking photos involve a little direction! I love working with couples like you—those who value photography, want natural poses, and want their true essence and personality captured.
