Highly Recommend!

We can't recommend Yuliya enough! She is an amazing photographer and did an incredible job capturing our wedding day. We are so in love with our pictures. From start to finish, she was incredibly easy to work with and made the whole planning process so much smoother. She has a great eye for capturing the little details and we were truly impressed with her ability to be everywhere at once, capturing all the important moments from different angles. She managed to capture all the emotions and created a stunning visual narrative that we will cherish forever. Working with Yuliya was a pleasure from start to finish. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a talented and dedicated wedding photographer. Thank you so much, Yuliya. You are a true artist and we are so grateful for the memories you've captured for us.

Yuliya is incredible!

Yuliya did an incredible job photographing our wedding in Napa this past summer! She is a total genius with a camera and was also a wonderful person to be around on our wedding day! The experience felt very personalized, and she did a great job of showcasing our personalities.

Best Decision we made for our wedding!

First off... Wow! Best decision we ever made was booking Yulia to capture our wedding. From the very first interaction through the knot, Yulia was one of the first to respond to my request for a quote. When you first speak with Yulia right away you will see how authentic and genuinely good she is. You can tell she is passionate about her work and she enjoys her job. It plays a big factor in the results of your photos! Book her right now based on her work alone. It's flawless. Clear. Beautiful. It seems simple and effortless but this is all Yulia and her technique. She is a true artist. She is a professional. And you wont find anyone better. But what has made me want to write this review goes beyond her work. It's her passion and ability to go above and beyond. As a Bride I was extremely nervous right before the wedding. She was able to make me laugh. Keep me calm. Give me clear directions that seemed silly at the time buy helped produce the best pictures! She knew what to say how to say it and how to move my arm in place to give me the best possible figure! She even would cue me on when to take a breath. I can't stop looking at these photos! At one point half way through the family pictures I got really over taking pictures and I was becoming a bridezilla. I was getting anxious about joining our guests. Yulia kept her calm. She was patient with me and kept going. Because she knew id look back and want these photos. She was right. Thank you Yulia for knowing me better than I knew myself the day of. For capturing the most precious moments. For making me feel beautiful and making us relive the best day of our lives! I hope we can continue to use Yulias services for future life events! We are eternally grateful!

Professional and amazing!

It was a breeze working with Yuliya. She was our friend's wedding photographer and was highly recommended. We had our first meeting over coffee and knew immediately we wanted Yuliya as our photographer. She really tried to get to know us as a couple first and clients second. The weeks leading up to our wedding, she continued to be excellent with emails and answered all our questions. On our wedding day, she dressed to blend in with our guests and worked very well with our day-of-coordinator. Above all else, it was a quick turn around to get our pictures (which she captured all our moments perfectly). We greatly appreciated all her attention to detail.

Photographer

Yuliya is our wedding photographer and did our engagement photos and they were absolutely stunning!! She guided us through the process of getting used to being in front of the camera, and made sure we didn’t look awkward in any of our photos! If you are looking for a high quality product and a super sweet, professional photographer, then she’s your gal! Thanks Yuliya!

Yuliya is a wonderful photographer with a beautiful style. I saw her gorgeous engagement and wedding photos online and knew I wanted to work with her for our photos. When I spoke with her on the phone and later met her in person, I knew I had made the right choice. She is a lovely, kind person who is willing to work with you, understand your preferences, put you at ease, and coax the best looks from you. She did an exquisite job on our engagement and wedding photos, and all our guests felt she was caring and fun. I just wish I could hire her over and over just for the sheer pleasure of working with her again. I can't recommend her enthusiastically enough.

We loved working with Yuliya! She did both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and all of our photos came out so beautifully. She is really great at working with you to capture the natural light and beauty of the setting. She was great at making really helpful suggestions. She is also so sweet, fun, and professional. She was always very prompt in getting back to us, and was very thorough and professional in planning with us. From the start, she really worked hard to get to know us as a couple and to tailor our photo shoots to what we wanted. We highly recommend her! She's amazing!

Everyone told me that your photographer is the best investment you can make when it comes to your wedding – they are so right! After the whirlwind has passed, all you have to look forward to to re-live that special day you worked so hard to create for you and your spouse are your photos and video. I’m so glad I chose Yuliya to be our photographer. Her photos look like they’re straight out of a bridal magazine or blog. I had a certain vision of how my photos would turn out, and that vision became reality! I LOVE our photos and could not be happier with them!

My husband and I are not naturals when it comes to taking photos – we needed guidance, and Yuliya does a great job directing you, but not in an overbearing way. She also photographed our engagement session, which helped us figure out what angles we liked and didn’t like. We provided the feedback to Yuliya (which she will encourage you to do b/c she wants you to love your photos), and she really took the time to listen, understand what we wanted, and made the appropriate modifications for the Big Day.

She is super sweet and her assistants are just as nice and helpful. We’ve gotten so many compliments on the photos, and we will treasure them for years to come. Thank you, Yuliya!!

Yuliya is an absolutely wonderful sweetheart! We are so blessed and thankful to have her to be our wedding photographer. During our initial meeting at a coffee shop, she was very warm, calm and welcoming and made us feel so comfortable. Her energy and cheerful spirit was perfect for a rush and stressed couple, who were having a wedding in less than a month! She is very organized, professional and nice to chat with. She took time to get to know us and learn what was important to us. Then we went through the timeline together, and when she knew that I was still looking for a makeup artist, she immediately found me one from her team! She also brought with her sister, Dina - an amazing calligrapher, whose work I admire greatly - I wish I knew her earlier so I would have asked her to help with our wedding programs! We both think that Yuliya was just what we needed and had made things so much easier!

On the day of the wedding, Yuliya arrived early at our hotel and even had checked out our wedding venue prior to look for a potential spot for our bridal party shoot. The majority of our bridal party, my husband and I were never professionally photographed before, so we were not good at posing, but Yuliya made us laughed in minutes and brought us a joyous and comfortable experience. Not only my husband and I, but our bridal party and our guests loved her!

When we received the pictures, we were absolutely blown away by the quality. She took the best candid shots, which we are very much in love. She has a great eye for lighting and picked the right angles that captures the people and surroundings perfectly.

Thank you again Yuliya for all your hard work and for capturing the magic moments in our lives! We must say that the photo shoot has been the most memorable moment we had in our wedding!! We look forward to working with you again in the future!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
