Irina Sky

Irina Sky's homepage never says where she lives. The tagline "Wedding photographer based in Switzerland, available in Europe" repeats almost word for word on her About and Portfolio pages, and nothing on the site narrows that down further, not a canton, not a town, not a street. Her actual name surfaces exactly once anywhere on irinasky.ch, in a line at the bottom of every page: "All rights reserved © 2025 by Irina Redanskaya." Everywhere else, she's simply Irina Sky.

One of the social icons in her site header answers the question her own copy won't. It links to her profile on MyWed, a wedding photographers' directory, filed under her real surname at a URL that spells it out. That profile states a city her own site never does: "Lausanne, Suisse." It also lists 3 working languages, "anglais, russe, français," a detail irinasky.ch never mentions either, even though every page of it is written in English.

Her portfolio page backs the location up independently. 4 named galleries sit behind the header, each captioned with a real place: a December church ceremony "in Montreux, Église du Sacré-Cœur," a reception at a golf club in Gruyère, a civil ceremony in Vevey, and a wedding in Yverdon-les-Bains. All 4 towns sit in the same corner of French-speaking Switzerland, on or near Lake Geneva, in canton Vaud or neighbouring Fribourg. One of her 3 published testimonials, from a couple named only as Bettina and Aurélien, names that same Montreux church again. None of this proves where she sleeps at night, but 3 independent pieces of her own published material, a linked directory profile, a portfolio, and a client's own words, all point at the same small region, and nothing on the site contradicts it.

So "available in Europe" reads as reach rather than a rotating base. Nothing on irinasky.ch claims a booking outside Switzerland, and every piece of dated, located work she shows publicly sits in that same Vaud-Fribourg corner of it. A couple wondering whether she'd travel for a wedding elsewhere in the country, or across a border, gets no answer from the site either way. The honest read is a photographer working out of the Lake Geneva region whose own marketing deliberately keeps that vague.

What she'll actually sell a couple is easier to pin down than where she lives.

3 tiers, priced by the hour only at the top

Her services page lists 3 named packages, priced in Swiss francs or euros at parity. "Just a couple" starts from 600 CHF or EUR, covers 2 hours and just the 2 of them, and delivers up to 60 edited photos. "Civil Wedding" starts from 770 CHF or EUR, covers 2 to 3 hours, is pitched at an intimate ceremony of up to 20 people, and delivers up to 100 edited photos. The top tier, "A great day!", drops the flat price for an hourly one: 300 CHF or EUR per hour across 5 to 12 hours, covering whatever mix of preparation, the ceremony itself and the celebration a couple books her for, and delivering up to 700 edited photos. It's also the only tier with a stated bonus, a gift of film photography alongside the digital set.

The shape of that range suits a destination-wedding couple reasonably well. The entry tier functions like an elopement package without using the word, priced for 2 people over a couple of hours. The middle tier is sized for exactly the pared-back kind of ceremony this catalog covers often: a legal signing with a handful of guests rather than a full reception. Only the top tier runs the length of an actual wedding day, and it's the only one billed by the hour rather than as a flat rate, so the total scales with however long a couple actually needs her for rather than snapping to a fixed day.

Beyond the 3 tiers, her page lists 5 add-ons with no prices attached: a photo book or wall prints, stylist services, hairdresser and makeup, a rentable studio, and film photography as its own separate line. Book any package above 2000 CHF/EUR and she throws in a complimentary Lovestory shoot before the wedding day itself, aimed at couples who find a camera pointed at them awkward until they've done it once already.

No email, no address, and a 2 to 4 week wait for photos

Her FAQ states a processing window of 2 to 4 weeks, with delivery through an online gallery and couples choosing favourites by email. All 3 packages promise the same delivery method, "private access to photos on disk," which on this site means an online gallery rather than a physical drive. Nothing on the site addresses raw files, a second shooter, or what happens if she can't shoot the booked date.

Getting in touch runs through a phone number, +41 79 904 53 78, mirrored as a WhatsApp link, plus Telegram and Facebook handles and a contact form. No email address and no street address appear anywhere on irinasky.ch, including on the dedicated contact page. The only address information anywhere in this research is the city named on her MyWed profile, and even that comes from a linked, third-party page rather than from her own site.

English on the page, French in the reviews

For a tenant built for English-reading couples, her own site already clears that bar on its own terms. Nothing in her navigation switches language, and every page opened for this listing, home, about, services, portfolio, contacts, came back written in English throughout. Her MyWed profile separately lists English as one of the 3 working languages, alongside Russian and French.

What's worth flagging is who's actually reviewing her in public. Of the 3 testimonials on her own site, 2 are written in French, from Emie Renevy and from Bettina and Aurélien, and only 1, from Emily-Rose Jons, is in English. That's a small sample, and it says more about who has written to her recently than about whether she can run a wedding day in English. But a couple booking off this listing should read it as a signal: her most visible, recent client voices skew French, even though the site they'd book through, and reportedly her own working language list, has no trouble with English.

What a couple gets by clicking one link off her homepage is a fuller picture than the homepage volunteers on its own: a photographer working out of the Lausanne area under her real name, 3 working languages, 4 real weddings with towns and churches attached rather than stock imagery, and a pricing structure that scales from a 2-hour elopement package to a full day billed by the hour. None of it is hidden exactly. It's just one click deeper than the page a couple lands on first.
