Yerevan, the capital of Armenia and one of the oldest cities in the world, was founded in 782 BC, making it 29 years older than Rome. Its story begins with the fortress of Erebuni, built by King Argishti I and today the ancient ruins coexist in harmony with modern buildings and lively streets. The city is poetically called the "pink" capital, since most of its buildings are made of volcanic tuff in warm shades of pink that glow beautifully at sunset.

Yerevan enchants with its rhythm: by day it welcomes visitors with museums, parks and landmarks, while by night it transforms into a vibrant hub of cafés, restaurants and clubs. A walk through its streets reveals the city's unique spirit, where antiquity and modernity intertwine at every turn.

At its heart lies Republic Square, where from May until mid-autumn the spectacular dancing fountains perform a symphony of water and light to classical and contemporary music. Another emblematic spot is the Cascade complex, from which sweeping views of the city and the majestic Mount Ararat unfold. The panorama is especially breathtaking in the evening, when city lights create a magical atmosphere.

Yerevan is not only a historic capital but a living organism, filled with energy, warmth and hospitality. A visit to Armenia's capital always leaves vivid memories and a longing to return.

Founded in 2013 by Emma Marashlyan, "Marashlyan" Photo Studio became the first professional studio in Armenia specializing in photo sessions with vintage and traditional Armenian costumes, known as taraz. Here the atmosphere of the past is carefully recreated and each outfit reflects the cultural heritage of a particular region of the country.

Guests are offered individual, family and group photo shoots that turn into a small journey through centuries. Before trying on the chosen costumes and jewelry, the photographer explains their history, symbolism and unique features, allowing participants to feel the depth of tradition. This introduction helps transform the process into more than just a photo session – it becomes a cultural experience where the past comes alive in every detail. In the final photos, it is especially evident how people's emotions intertwine with the spirit of ancient Armenia, making the images living witnesses of a rich history.

The studio has long been a favorite not only among locals but also for tourists, as it allows everyone to "wear" Armenia in its authentic form.

👉 The cost is for 1 photo per person and extra charge is required for more photos.
👉 The reservations should be made in advance.
