Atena Founder & Principal Photographer
Her Journey & Craft

Over Two Decades of Masterful Wedding Storytelling

Born in Iran, Atena discovered her calling for visual expression early in life. She earned her formal Bachelor's Degree in Photography from Soore University—widely recognized as one of the most prestigious art universities in Iran. Driven by a desire to master the international language of portraiture and light, she further pursued advanced study and artistic refinement at the Paris College of Art in Paris, France.

After establishing her roots in Canada, Atena completed a diploma in Commercial Photography from Montreal's renowned Dawson College, merging European editorial sensibilities with technical Canadian precision.

With over two decades as a specialized wedding photographer and having personally documented more than 1,000 weddings, her career has evolved from freelancing for prominent international studios into founding Tiara Studio a luxury Montreal boutique studio dedicated to authentic, emotional, and timeless imagery.
