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.

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!

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.

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!!!

Yuliya is hands down, my favorite photographer. From our initial meeting, Yuliya was very warm and welcoming and instantly made me feel comfortable. I have never been professional photographed before, so I felt incredible awkward at first, but she made me feel like the most gorgeous girl around with endless words of encouragement, adjustment of lighting and by picking the perfect scenery. When I received the pictures, I was was absolutely blown away by the quality and even squealed with excitement. Yuliya picked amazing angles that captured the surroundings perfectly and I was in love with every picture.

In addition to being her client, I am also a wedding planner so I have had the chance to work with hundreds of photographers over the years. Yulia's work is completely unique and stands out in the most romantic, soft and stunning way. Her attention to extreme detail is noted in her art and creates a masterpiece-style capture, which is hard to find in most photographers. I HIGHLY reccomend Yuliya to every potential bride, professional or anyone needed a "go-to" photographer. You will NOT be disappointed by her work.

Thirty years from now I'll still remember my wedding as vividly as I do today because of the pictures that help me relive it every time I look at them. Yuliya shot our wedding a few months ago, and to say I was amazed at what she gave us would be an understatement. Yuliya did more than just take pictures; she became a part of the wedding and was able to record it in a way that captured our life in the moment. As a photographer myself, I searched long and hard to find someone who could produce work that I felt confident in, and let me tell you, Yuliya exceeded all those expectations. Yuliya is not only great at what she does, but more importantly she's a wonderful person, and that is a large part of why her pictures turned out so well. She spent a lot of time getting to know my wife and I; what we loved and what was important to us, and that is why she was able to shoot our wedding so well. She knew us as a couple and we knew her as our friend, so she truly captured our magic moments. Yuliya is very easy-going, fun to work with, and was just what my wife and I needed. If you are still searching for a photographer, stop. You have found her and you won’t find any better.

Yuliya is an incredibly amazing photographer. She went above and beyond on our wedding day. She captured all of the traditional moments, as well as all of the special moments that made our wedding unique. She has a very special gift. Yuliya made everyone feel so comfortable and we all had so much fun with her. I especially love how she caught so much joy in the guests faces. She captured love and laughter like I could have never imagined. Absolutely beautiful! I can not stress enough how blessed I feel to have Yuliya as our wedding photographer. We love you Yuliya!

Yuliya falls into the "best decision we ever made" category! Our experience with her was perfect in every way imaginable. With Yuliya, her professionalism made is such that there were no details to be concerned about throughout the entire process. It never felt like a business arrangement - she was happily there to capture the magic of the moment on our wedding day. Since our wedding, we always get compliments of the photos Yuliya took. We couldn't possibly have a higher recommendation for Yuliya and we know when we renew our vows someday we'll want Yuliya there to capture the moment!!

Yuliya has been an absolute dream to work with. She was so warm and friendly but totally professional during our initial consultation with her. And the way she put a nervous bride-to-be at ease--I just knew that she would be a good fit for us. (I have a big family and a very opinionated, but well-meaning mother who I KNEW would be making a lot of "suggestions" on the wedding day) She understands wedding day dynamics and big, crazy loving families, so who better to shoot our wedding?

Before our engagement shoot, I felt comfortable emailing with her about our outfit choices, props, etc. All that stuff that seems so silly when you say it aloud but MATTER when you are a bride and having your once in a lifetime moment! Neither the hubby or I are particularly photogenic and are so awkward in photos usually, but Yuliya was so fun and put us at ease and had us laughing in minutes that the smiles on our faces in the photos are genuine.

She met with me a week before the wedding to go over the timeline and provided some very helpful insight and also to get my opinion on which shots were the most important to me. She even happened to be in the area prior to our wedding day and swung by the venue to check it out and to see what the lighting would be like!! On our wedding day, it was wonderful to have her by my side. She stayed calm through all the madness of a very hectic day and stayed much longer than she needed to in order to get all the shots we wanted. We got our gallery of photos in time for our one month wedding anniversary and they were BEAUTIFUL. Yuliya goes above and beyond the call of duty as a wedding vendor and I can't think of anyone who worked as hard as she did to help us make our day perfect!!!

Meeting Yuliya was one of the best parts of our wedding planning process. From our first conversation on the phone I felt like we were old friends reconnecting. We were so lucky to have Yuliya fly out to New Mexico where we live for our engagement shoot in the desert which was such an amazing experience for us. And to top it off we got to spend the weekend with her and get to know her and she got to know us. When it came to the engagement photo shoot Yuliya showed her professionalism and skill. My husband and I have never really been great in front of the camera and somehow Yuliya made us feel so comfortable that after a few minutes we felt like old pros. She even let me wear her signature Fedora and one of her statement necklaces which elevated the look of the shoot with so much style. It was an unforgettable experience.
For the wedding planning Yuliya was so helpful with tips for planning based her on experience and frequently checked in with us for details and updates. On the day of the wedding Yuliya brought her sister Dina as a second shooter which was awesome. They are a great team and so talented. We just got our wedding pics the other day and we are stunned. I keep looking at them over and over again and notice new things each time. With her collection you really re-live the day and the experience. It was definitely the best day ever and now we have a collection of photos that take you right back to that day which is priceless.
Yuliya has a unique and beautiful photographic style. It is so clear to see the passion she has for what she does and for life. It is quite an inspiration. And to top it off she is so professional, accommodating, flexible and talented with a good eye for style. I cannot recommend her enough for an amazing experience and a gorgeous set of photos that will help you to relive your engagement and wedding day for many years to come.

Professional and courteous service. Made myself and my fiance feel relaxed and natural throughout the whole experience. We have not seen a better and more professional photographer on any weddings or events who cares as much about what memories you will have after everything is over. The only person we would recommend to all our friends and family.

In one simple sentence: Yuliya is now our photographer for life!

A friend recommended Yuliya when my then fiancee and I were on the hunt to find that special one to capture not only our engagements, but THE big day. While looking at the portfolios of many photographers, they were all very talented, yes, but we decided on Yuliya because her photographs were not just pictures, but they were captured stories. My fiancee and I wanted more than just a wedding photographer: We wanted someone that could tell OUR story, not someone else's on repeat.
When we finally met Yuliya, she was everything and more. She is a polite, young woman that may come off quiet and reserved, but will quickly make you feel as though you have been friends forever. In this initial meeting, she politely answered all of our questions and seemed sincerely interested in our love story and wedding plans. My now husband and I quickly fell in love with her.
Through the whole engagement and wedding process, Yuliya remained very personable, listened to us (mostly me) describe my wedding dreams and allowed my husband and I to just be 'us.' Anytime we had a question or thought, she was available to listen and was very prompt when returning emails, phone calls, and arriving to our photo shoot/brain storming meetings.
As our engagements and wedding day quickly came and went, we have been left with not only beautiful photographs, but a lasting friendship. My husband and I have worked with Yuliya on two occasions since our wedding day and every event is as fun as the first and the results are always surpassing of expectations.

Yuliya is a professional, knowledgable photographer that always allows her clients to participate in the creative process and let their personalities/relationships shine. She is not just a photographer, but an artist who cares deeply for what she creates. They are not just photographs to Yuliya or another job, but an art and experience. She's truly the whole package.

Before picking our photographer I did some research on photographers and loved Yuliya's pictures the most. Her photos were beautiful - capturing couples looking very natural with beautiful light, composure, and exposure. We are so glad we chose to have her as our photographer. We were both very nervous about the idea of having our picture taken and possibly messing them up :) but Yuliya made us feel completely comfortable through the whole process. We had so much fun working with her especially during the engagement photos. Our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined! She made us look so good! She captured so many wonderful moments and details at our wedding. Yuliya made sure to photograph all of the details that we were not even able to see ourselves that day! We are so glad that we invested in such a talented photographer. On top of the amazing photos she is a pleasure to work with - so professional, responsive and willing to work with you. She was easy to communicate with, very clear and on time. We were pleased that she was able to get our photos back to us in a timely manner (a shorter time than she projected). I would not hesitate to recommend her!

There are so many decisions you have to make when you are planning your wedding and it’s hard to know if you’re making the right ones. Hiring Yuliya to be my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made. Working with her was like working with a a friend I had known forever (even though we had just met!). Yuliya has this amazing spirit that makes you feel at ease and she is so talented that when you get your photos back you will find yourself saying, “I didn’t know I could look like that.” She understands love, lighting, photography and friendship. She also understands weddings. She will reach out to you before the wedding to make sure she understands what’s important to you - the little details about your handmade bridesmaids flowers or the fact that your Grandma is flying across the country and you want special shots with her. And then she will shoot your wedding and capture your special day like she has known you and your partner forever. Chances are, she will also send you a slideshow of your best shots while you’re on your honeymoon. I watched mine about 20 times in a row from our hotel room in Maui.

If you’ve found “the one” and now you need “the photographer” look no further than Yuliya. Seriously. Stop reading this and contact her.

Great Photographer! Our wedding day was perfect from beginning to the end having Yuliya as a part of it. The photography sessions of our wedding day felt relaxed, fun, and productive all at once. She took lots of stunning photos while being very punctual and on-track with our schedule, which we liked because my wife and I were very intent on staying on schedule throughout our special day. She is very professional, yet down to earth. She's easy to connect with and a pleasure to have around during the whole wedding experience. Im confident that you'll love her from the very moment you meet her!

Yuliya is very talented at capturing those candid moments and making them look flawless and beautiful. She makes such an effort to be much more than just the photographer, she's personable, relatable, understanding, patient, fun and very hard-working. You will not regret trusting her to create amazing memories from your life's biggest moments
