Meet Your Experience Team:

Hey There, I’m Jolana!
Your Photographer, Experience Creator, and biggest Hype Person!

At my core, I’m a lover of human connection. I’m a people-pleaser in the best way, always hungry, slightly awkward, and very willing to make a fool of myself if it breaks an uncomfortable silence. I’m happiest somewhere outdoors, doing something just outside my comfort zone, camera in hand. I don’t believe you need to fit a specific mold to be worthy of being photographed. I believe you just need to be you — messy, happy, nervous, awkward… real!

The reason I do this work is simple: I want people to feel safe, seen, and completely unjudged being themselves. In a world that feels increasingly focused on trends, perfection, and consuming more instead of feeling more, I’m drawn to experiences that actually mean something. I’ll choose a hole-in-the-wall restaurant over a five-star one any day, and I’d rather experience a place the way locals do than check off tourist boxes. I don’t chase trends — I chase connection.

Meet Kalika!
The Fierce Protector of your Peace, Drone Pilot, & Resident McGyver.

He’s with me at every experience for a reason. While I’m an extroverted introvert, channeling my inner ninja to be everywhere silently, Kalika is a full-blown extrovert who thrives on bringing the hype, problem-solving, and jumping in wherever support is needed. 

From MacGyver-ing last-minute fixes to acting as bartender, pack mule, or pulling moms onto the dance floor when the energy dips, his focus is always the same: fiercely protecting your experience so you can stay present. 

And when the moment calls for it, he’s always ready to lighten the mood – whether that’s breaking the ice or fully committing to a pirate impression, accent and sway included (and yes, you should absolutely ask him to, you’ll make his day!)

 

The Photography Experience  is available to travel worldwide for elopements and weddings, with home bases in New York, Europe, Mexico, and India!
