Guided by a longing for the world, I chase the stories that move us.
I’m captivated by the raw beauty of real emotion — the candid, unscripted moments that unfold naturally and the intentional artistry that shapes them. My work blends authenticity with editorial edge, transforming your celebration into a visual narrative that feels timeless, elevated, and alive.
Nothing compares to creating an emotional connection. My work is driven by the desire to evoke real feeling — capturing the raw beauty of honest moments and the emotions that shape them.
Welcome to my world — where intentional chaos meets luxury, and every moment becomes art.
Imagine warm summer nights, elevated style, bold emotions, and celebrations alive with movement and energy. This is the space where I create: a world shaped by maximalism, spontaneity, and art direction in motion.
I don’t simply observe a wedding — I feel it.
I read the room, sense the rhythm, and immerse myself in your dynamic as a couple. I guide when it elevates the moment, step back when emotion unfolds on its own, and lean into the beautiful chaos that makes your story uniquely yours.
To me, life is full of unnoticed magic — waiting for someone to say yes to experiencing it fully. That’s what I do for my couples: I live their day with them, step into their world, and translate their energy into imagery that feels visceral, cinematic, and profoundly personal.
Through my lens, your celebration becomes more than a memory.
It becomes a crafted, art-directed, emotionally charged universe — a visual legacy reflecting the elegance, depth, and unforgettable intensity of your wedding.
A True Artist & Beautiful Soul – Claudi Klassen is the ABSOLUTE BEST <3
As a photographer myself (and former model), I’ll be honest—choosing someone to capture our wedding day felt like one of the biggest decisions of the entire planning process. I’ve spent my life on both sides of the camera, and I knew how important it would be to find someone with both the eye and the energy to tell our story authentically.
The moment I discovered Claudi Klassen of Klassen Weddings, I knew I’d found someone truly special. And from the very first interaction to the delivery of our final gallery, she exceeded every expectation.
Claudi has that rare, intangible magic: she sees what others miss. The quiet, fleeting glances. The joy in motion. The soul behind the smiles. Her work is the perfect blend of editorial elegance and raw documentary beauty—timeless and cinematic, yet deeply personal. Every frame she delivered felt like a piece of art and a piece of us.
But more than that—Claudi was just a joy to be around. She made everyone feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated. She brought this calm, confident energy to the day that made it so easy to be fully ourselves. Letting go of creative control isn’t easy for me, but with Claudi, I never questioned a thing. I trusted her completely—and it was so fun to watch her do her thing.
She captured not just the moments, but the feeling of the day—the electricity in the air, the emotion in our vows, the connection between all the people we love most. Looking through our photos brought us right back to those moments in a way we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives.
If you are even considering working with Claudi—run, don’t walk. She’s not just a phenomenal photographer; she’s a kind, intuitive, wildly creative soul who pours her heart into her work. We’re endlessly grateful for her, and I know without a doubt that our wedding would not have felt the same without her behind the lens.
Thank you, Claudi. You gave us a gift we’ll cherish forever.

Ugh I honestly don’t know where to start. We came across klassen weddings through our amazing wedding planner isoleplanning. Photographers for our big day were the top task in our wedding as I love photos and unfortunately my husband hates taking them. And we just knew the importance of having the right photographer. As soon as we saw klassen weddings portfolio we just knew we had to hire her. And oh my god BEST DECISION we’ve ever made. Let’s just say Claudia came prepared with a mood board presentation a week from our wedding and share thoughts of what she has in mind. On wedding day she came prepared with her team and they captured everything better than we pictured. Everyone is saying our wedding photos are magazine cover worthy total VOGUE and honestly we couldn’t have agreed more. Sam and I absolutely loved her she made him comfortable behind the lens he said he didn’t mind all the photos cause he was at ease (mind you I can never get this man to take a single picture) and I just loveeed having her there. It honestly felt like your hanging with a friend who just happens to be amazingly talented and had an eye for details no one else has. She was helping us practice for our first dance and was on the floor with her knees helping me get on my party dress as my sister couldn’t do it how is she even real. Claudia from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. For the best photos ever and for capturing our special day so beautifully every time we look at these photos we feel like we’re right back in the moment. No question you’d be lucky to have klassen weddings as your wedding photographer 🥹🤍

I don’t even know how to put into words what my photographer did for me and everyone at my wedding….but I’ll try. Somehow, she made every single person look like a supermodel. Seriously. Her eye for light, emotion, and detail is unreal, but it’s more than that, being in front of her lens makes you feel invincible. She has this rare, beautiful gift of pulling your inner beauty out and translating it into photos that feel like you, but elevated, glowing, powerful. Looking through our gallery felt like stepping into a dream, but one that somehow captured the truest parts of the day and of ourselves.
She’s not just talented — she’s the best in the game. If you’re lucky enough to have her behind the camera for your wedding, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Total magic.

I know the unpredictability of life — the beauty, the chaos, the fleeting moments that make it unforgettable. I understand how quickly memories can fade and how precious they truly are. Through years of experience, wedding photography has become my calling: a way to capture these ephemeral moments, the energy of your day, and the stories that unfold naturally yet intentionally.
I don’t just take photos — I craft imagery. I guide, I observe, I read the room. I immerse myself in your energy, feeling the rhythm, the pauses, the unspoken emotions, and the spontaneous bursts of joy. My approach is maximalist: every detail, movement, and fleeting glance is considered, yet allowed to breathe, creating a balance between art direction and candid authenticity.
Every frame is designed to make you feel seen, celebrated, and alive. I elevate real, unscripted moments into cinematic, emotional imagery that honors your story. It’s not silent storytelling — it’s art in motion. Every look, every laugh, every tear is captured fully, naturally, and with a touch of refined elegance.
