Lathrop did amazing with our wedding photos. They turned out absolutely fantastic. Better than any other photography company we have experienced. I would highly recommend. We will absolutely be using Lathrop in our future!

From our very first conversation, Yana and Lathrop made us feel completely at ease. They took the time to understand our vision and the kind of day we wanted to have, and it showed in every photo. On the wedding day itself they were calm, professional, and so fun to be around — we barely noticed they were there, yet they somehow captured every important moment (and so many beautiful candid ones we didn’t even realize were happening). The photos are stunning: natural, emotional, and true to us. We’ve already had so many compliments from family and friends. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and the final gallery exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for photographers who are not only talented but also genuinely lovely people to work with, we couldn’t recommend LYPhotographyCo more highly. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever!

We’re so happy we chose Lathrop & Yana to photograph our wedding day. They managed to capture just how it felt fun, emotional, and full of love. The photos have feeling and movemen...

t, exactly what we wanted. They caught all the little moments that made the day special, even the ones we didn’t realize were happening. They were easy to work with, made us feel comfortable, and helped keep things moving without adding any stress. We’ve looked through the gallery so many times already, and each time it brings back all the feelings of the day. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, thoughtful, really knows how to tell a story through photos, and cares about your photos just as much as you do!

He made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, and it really shows in how natural and genuine everything turned out!! He is so incredibly talented and it absolutely shows and shines through in his work! He delivered so, so, so many photos, capturing every little moment. It's been a few months since the wedding and I feel like I can relive that day and feel every emotion over and over again when I look back on our photos! We could not be happier with the results and the experience he delivered! We are in awe! These are photos we will absolutely cherish forever!

asy to just be ourselves. When we had to make a last-minute location change, they didn’t even flinch. They rolled with it, kept the energy going, and made it feel completely seamless. That kind of calm professionalism in a moment that could have been really stressful meant everything to us. Lathrop and Yana made the entire experience feel fun rather than formal. We laughed a lot, felt at ease, and never once felt like we were being rushed through a shoot or treated like just another booking. They genuinely cared about us and it showed in every single moment of the day. Our photos are stunning and we are obsessed with them. They captured everything we felt that day in a way we never could have asked for or anticipated. Lathrop and Yana, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our story and for creating memories that we will look back on and cherish for years to come.

Our pictures turned out absolutely amazing, and it was honestly hard to choose favorites because we loved so many of them. Their talent truly speaks for itself.

emotion of the day. One of my favorite moments was the first look with my dad and my brother. Yana and Lathrop perfectly captured their genuine emotions, and those photos are now some of my most cherished memories. Beyond the incredible photography, Yana went above and beyond in helping us navigate the venue, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which was such a thoughtful touch. They are not just talented photographers—they are truly amazing people to work with.

y first consultation to the final photo delivery, their work is nothing short of amazing. The photos they take are breathtaking, perfectly capturing the essence and emotions of the day. What truly sets LY Photography apart is their ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small feat! Most of us feel awkward when the camera is on us, but with LY Photography, they create such a fun and relaxed atmosphere that you forget you're even being photographed. Their easy-going yet professional approach puts you at ease immediately, making the entire process enjoyable rather than stressful. On our wedding day, they spent the whole day with us, ensuring that no moment, big or small, was missed. They were there for every laugh, every tear, and every special moment, blending into the day effortlessly, yet capturing it all with incredible precision. They made the experience so exciting and fun that we couldn’t wait for the next set of photos. It wasn’t just about the pictures—it was about making memories that would last forever, and LY Photography excelled in that. I can't recommend LY Photography enough. If you want photographers who are talented, professional, and makes your special day even more amazing, look no further! You’ll be in great hands. 1000/10.

ld use them again. LYPhotography was my wedding videographer, and also my photographer for bridals. They are such a joy to work with. Lathrop and Yana provide wonderful guidance and a good laugh as well. I really appreciate their intent to capture the moment itself rather than consistent posing. Their attention to detail is unmatched. The photos speak for themselves! I am so impressed with all of the work they have provided, all of the small details they include in their work, and their overall care and professionalism. I cannot recommend them enough and cannot wait to book another session!
