    Yves the owner is an amazing artist which allows him to deliver an amazing end product. Yves takes his profession very seriously and listened to our wants and needs; more than all the other vendors we talked with combined. He was willing to meet with us after hours and design the product to meet our exact wishes. Yves also is a really nice person to work with. If you are searching for a photographer that is patient, understanding, and a serious professional look no further.

    Highly Recommend Yves / YJM Photography!!

    My husband Alex and I chose Yves at YJM Photography for our wedding 8 years ago and we feel blessed that he has been our photographer ever since! A true professional. Not only does he have the talent to capture amazing photos, you can tell he actually loves what he does. He always listens to all of our requests and needs, a real pleasure to work with and his creativity is second to none. Yves is the only photographer we trust for all of our special occasion, as well as professional business photo shoot needs!

    For someone like me, who has a face for radio, Yves made me relax and comfortable on my wedding day. I don't really like standing still, yet alone striking numerous poses for the camera. But Yves and son made it fun and even enjoyable!

    We got our wedding pictures back the other night and were simply blown away by them. Wedding days can become such blurs. You are on the go all day but with these lovely pictures, we can reminisce for the rest of our lives. Cheers Yves!

    I am so glad that Yves was our photographer! Our wedding pictures came out so beautifully -- he really did capture all the important parts of the wedding, and got some great candid pictures as well. He has a lot of fun and fresh ideas, and has also been photographing weddings for many years so his work carries a polish and sophistication from those years of experience. He really listened to what we wanted, made great recommendations, and was calm throughout all the of chaos during the wedding. Would recommend him to anyone!

    Yves is an amazing photographer to work with. On the day of the wedding a bride and groom spend a lot of time with the photographer around them so it's important for it to be someone who shares your joy with you and understands the importance of capturing all your special moments and Yves did just that for us! He is professional yet fun to work with and has a lot of ideas for great shots but also listens to what is important for you to capture. He was prompt on the day of and had our proofs ready sooner than we expected with great quality.

    YJM Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Jessica for the wonderful review. You and Nick were such a great couple to work with. I enjoyed photographing every moment of your wedding day.

    We selected Yves to photograph our wedding because of his outstanding pictures on display at Elliston Vineyards. We wanted a mixture of traditional and artistic photos, and Yves came through on both counts. He did a wonderful job accommodating our special requests, and provided us with beautiful, high quality photographs. He was responsive, caring, prompt, and a joy to work with. Highly recommended! Thanks you, Yves, for our beautiful wedding photos!

    Working with YJM Photography was a real pleasure. Yves takes great pride and professionalism in his work while remaining very courteous. With all the excitement and emotions on a wedding day, it is difficult to process everything that is happening. His wonderful pictures let me relive the best day of my life every time I look through them.

    Keep up the great work. I highly recommend YJM Photography for your next event.

    We couldn't have had a more professional photographer for our wedding than Yves. Family and friends were amazed how focused and hard working he was during the wedding to get all the shots. Trust me, the photos can prove it. We are very happy with all the photos and had a difficult time narrowing them down for the album because they were all good.

    We hired Yves to photograph our company Holiday Party and he was amazing! Professional and flexible, he met our every need. Our employees were very satisfied with their printed-out portraits - we received many compliments for their quality. He was very professional and unobtrusive about tactfully posing couples and groups so that they could look their best in the photographs.
    His venue and candid shots were excellent - the lighting was great and everyone looks great in his camera!
    After the event Yves was very prompt about getting back to me with our prints and photo dvd.
    I would definitely book Yves for another corporate event!

    Yves, Lisa and I cannot thank you enough for the outstanding job you did at our wedding. The photos of the back yard and surrounding open space captured the look and feel that we wanted for our big day. Your pleasant manner made every family member feel so comfortable when being asked to move here, over a bit, stand up a little taller and smile. We never felt pressured to be in a pose or miss a moment of the party as your timing was spot on. Thank you. Our photos are amazing. C & L 9.15.12

    Yves was fantastic to work with. He was incredibly friendly and informative. He knew exactly where to go to get the best shot. We ended up with some photos that are just stunning. Our wedding was in our back yard. We had worked hard for a long time to get the yard in shape, but Yves fabulous eye for photography made it look even more beautiful!

    Yves was an amazing photographer to work with. Upon our first meeting he was able to show us a wealth of sample photographs to get a real idea of the kind of work he does, all of which are wonderful. Yves was also great about staying in contact and making sure he had all the specific details of the wedding to make sure no important shots were left out and that he had the names of everyone that needed to be in the photos. His demeanor was nothing but professional, and he was an absolutely pleasure to work with. We felt comfortable posing for him and he did a great job of letting us have our space and still getting the shots he needed. He was very prompt and arrived at the venue hours beforehand and stayed until the music stopped to ensure every moment was documented.

    His pricing was very reasonable as well. Compared to most other photographers we looked in to, he was the most experienced and the most competitively priced.

    Overall, I would highly recommend Yves to anyone looking for a great photographer for their wedding or event. He was amazing to work with.

    Yves is a great artist with a flair for capturing the moment. We love our photo album and all the photos Yves took at our wedding. We enjoyed working with Yves as we met and planned what was most important to us for our very special day. We loved his ideas too! The memories he captured for us are priceless, we highly recommend Yves.

    Yves was great to work with! He was very responsive and gave great suggestions for different places to have our wedding pictures taken to ensure that we would have a lot of variety. I had a lot of family in from France and he even was able to speak to them a little in French! We spoke over the phone and via email several times before the wedding to ensure that we had the timeline down and to organize everything. After the wedding he even rushed to get us a few photos since of course we were anxious to see some shots. They turned out great! He always sticks to the time frames he provides which helps set expectations so you're not just waiting around wondering when your photos will be ready. I would definitely recommend YJM Photography to any future brides and grooms.

    Yves at YJM Photography was phenomenal to work with! He took the time to get to know us and what type of photos we wanted for our wedding. His shots were amazing, arty and beautiful. He was unobtrusive on the day and took tons of amazing pictures. He arrived early, stayed late and he was an absolute pleasure to be around. We thoroughly enjoyed having him at our wedding. I would highly recommend him to all of my closest friends, family and to you!
