Stephen (in collaboration with his wife Yuliya) is a fantastic photographer – easy to work with, flexible, and very high quality. From our engagement photos to the wedding day, they gave us photos that took our breath away and really captured the spirit of the moment. Stephen and Yuliya worked well with our videographer and even managed to capture a beautiful sunset wedding photo on one of the rainiest days this summer. We highly recommend W Studios and are so happy with the photos!
Stephen and Yuliya photographed our wedding in June and did an absolutely amazing job, beyond anything we could have ever hoped for. They captured all the special moments perfectly and were so fun and easy to work with!!! They made it a dream, and we have gotten so many compliments on their amazing photographs (and many requests for their information!). We’re incredibly grateful for all of the memories they captured for us. We could not recommend them more for any event!!! Thank you Stephen and Yuliya!
Stephen and Yulia joined us for our wedding last weekend and all we have to say is WOW! What an amazing dynamic duo. Not only did they make us feel so special, but also knew what they were talking about and made us feel so at home throughout the whole day!
Stephen was knowledgeable, helpful and although we have not received our proofs yet we can already say that these will be some of the best photos on the planet!!! Thank you thank you thank you for being with us on our big day we could not be happier with our choice of using you as our photographer!
Stephen and Yuliya did an absolutely beautiful job. We could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. I have looked through them countless times, and I am still in awe! From start to finish, they captured the true spirit of our wedding. It is clear that each and every photo was carefully crafted. The wedding day flew by, but my husband and I are able to relive some of the most special and fleeting moments that Stephen and Yuliya so perfectly captured in photos.
Stephen and Yuliya were also great to work with. They were kind, funny, respectful of our time, and professional, and they made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. I can say with confidence that choosing W Studios was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
Could not be more happier with Stephen and Yulia. They were so accommodating and personable and made us feel so comfortable during our day. The photos turned out so beautifully. To put the cherry on top, we had very little time to take photos due to traffic that day and Stephen took extra time to take pictures with us a couple of days later to make up for that! Highly recommend them.
I can say with confidence that working with W Studios NY was the best and easiest choice when it came to planning our wedding. I adore Stephen and Yuliya - working with such a lovely, talented couple only added to the fun we had on our wedding day. The style of photography is incredible and fit our desire to have a more candid, relaxed approach. Since we've received our online gallery, we are told time and time again that our photos are right out of a magazine! I do not believe I have seen more incredible wedding photos, ever. We are beyond thrilled to see the memories of our day look even more beautiful through the gifted work of Stephen and Yuliya. Though we did not order our album yet, W Studios NY timeline in creating one is flexible, which is great. I would 100% recommend W Studios NY and would choose them for any event moving forward. Worth every single penny, and we were happy with the price.
Just, WOW! Stephen and Yulia's photos from our wedding came out absolutely incredible -- they captured so much of the true spirit, love, fun, and happiness we and our family and friends felt that day. Going through the photos brought back so many emotions, and we are beyond thrilled with how they came out! Stephen and Yulia, you two are the best -- thank you, thank you, thank you for letting us relive the day through an amazing set of 1,200+ pictures!
We also worked with Stephen for our engagement shoot, when he willingly traveled to the college campus where I met my husband to capture extremely meaningful, and beautiful, shots.
Can't say enough about W Studios!
Wonderful service, easy to work with and excellent quality.
Steven and Yuliya were a breath of fresh air. From the start they were easy to communicate with, up front about terms, and accommodating to our schedule. They took the time to discuss what we wanted and executed it perfectly. Our engagement session was beyond what we could have hoped for, and our wedding photos were even better.
Two things of note, Steven and his crew were not only punctual and professional, but also able to seamlessly navigate our complicated, large family and reel in our large bridal party with ease. Having a photographer you are comfortable with and confident in their abilities surrounding you that day is invaluable. Secondly, our make up artist was over two hours late, putting excessive strain on the course of the day. I was disappointed when I realized there would be no pictures of me and my mother together in the getting ready process, as she was stuck in the make-up chair while I was putting my dress on and getting out the door. But when we got our pictures from W Studios there it was! A perfect capture of a fleeting moment when my mom was walking out and looking at me. W Studios will not disappoint.
Stephen/W Studios is the reason we chose to get married at Bedell Cellars. We saw his photograph in New York Magazine and instantly feel in the love with the venue. From our engagement photos to wedding pics, everything was fantastic. The quality and service was truly outstanding. Rich and I couldn't have been more pleased to work with Stephen and Yuliya. We are so happy we chose them to photograph the best day of our life They are one heck of a team!
Stephen Grande and Yuliya from W Studios were amazing photographers for our wedding. We could not have been more pleased with the pictures. So creative and sweet, the pictures are perfect and truly represent who we are as a couple. Stephen was very punctual, and open to requests and opinions. We highly recommend W Studios!
I would recommend W Studios NY to everyone!! Stephen did an absolutely amazing job photographing our wedding, we could not be happier with the way that our pictures turned out, they are stunning!! He did such a great job of catching all of the happiness and love of our wedding day. All of our family and friends were so impressed with our pictures!! Stephen and Yuliya were both so sweet and helpful, they were a pleasure to work with!
In addition to taking amazing pictures, W Studios NY offers great services for their price and really fast turn around time! We would use them again in a heartbeat!
Stephen & Yulia were referred to us by my cousin... We were married last year (6/12) and have since recommended W Studios to more than 6 other Happy Couples who have been equally as thrilled with their work. From the Engagement shoot to the last shots during our wedding reception Stephen & Yulia have a way of capturing the moments we never want to forget. They are professional yet friendly & truly create a relaxed atmosphere (which is GREAT when things on your wedding day may get a bit hectic!)
The best compliment in the wedding world is a referral... so here is ours!!
Looking back on our wedding I would say the most important choice we made was choosing W Studios as our photographers. The day may only last a few precious hours but the photos are what stay with you. Because of the artistry of Stephen and Yuliya we have a timeless and perfect account of our most special day. I use the term artisty because they are able to capture moments in a way that perfectly depict our relationship. Nothing was forced or manipulated and we were left with beautiful, authentic memories from our day. Besides being incredible artists, they are also very kind hearted people who were a pleasure to work with. I am proud to have had them as our wedding photographers and look forward to working with them again as we celebrate more life moments.
We're so happy we chose W Studios NY as our photographer. Stephen did an amazing job and was so easy to work with throughout the whole process. The package we chose included an engagement photo session which we normally wouldn't have gotten but we were so pleased with the photos. It was a great opportunity to get to know Stephen and good practice for us on how to be more comfortable in front of the camera! On the day of the wedding he made sure to get photos of all the things we had mentioned to him we wanted. He was truly a pleasure to work with and made the wedding planning process that much easier because he was the perfect combination of easy going but in control.
Choosing a photographer for our wedding turned out to be the most stressful part of planning. There are so many photographers and studios to pick from in NYC! I wanted to make sure I get the formal shots I wanted to give our parents, the candid shots showing the emotions of the day as well as pieces of art I can cherish for years to come. We received everything we wanted from Stephen and then some. He is friendly, flexible, professional and responsive. We met several times and had a engagement session. This allowed us to be comfortable and natural around the camera (something my husband was very nervous about). W studios is a great value and I would recommend them to my friends. We love our pictures.
We used Stephen to shoot our engagement photos around Manhattan and we could not be happier! For starters, Stephen work is amazing, but it was his calm/easy going demeanor that made us truly open up in front of the camera. He was instructive, but not pushy. Helpful, but still let us contribute to the process. We actually did not want the day to end! In terms of the photos, the end result truly exceeded our expectations! We have so many wonderful options it has been difficult narrowing them down. In addition to a great product, Stephen is extremely professional and delivered the photos in a timely fashion (unlike other some of the other reviews we read). You will not be disappointed with W Studios!
My husband and I met Stephen and Yuliya about 2 years ago at a WellWed wedding event- once we saw examples of their work, we knew they were "the ones!" Working with Stephen and Yuliya throughout our entire wedding festivities was a wonderful and priceless experience. The quality and professionalism of their work is like no other. They are creative, patient and will work hard to capture every moment. We just got married on Sept 7th and have already received a preview of our photos- We have the most gorgeous pictures to always remind us of our most special day!
It is truly hard to put into words how amazing Stephen and Yuliya are, & how happy I am looking back at the 'relationship' my husband and I built with them. We had one of the best engagement shoots ever -- they made it feel so natural, and even my husband was comfortable in front of the camera. Their level of professionalism is unmatchable. The W Studios New York crew, assistants included, were so unbelievable at our wedding.
It's hard to put a picture into words-- but EVERY photo (and there were thousands) was PERFECT. Stephen is an artist. His eye is unbelievable. The photos themselves, are works of art. Coupled together with Yuliya, I have 2 completely different photos of the same exact moment. I LOVE IT.
They are easy to get ahold of, and truly care about making your wedding day picture perfect.
I had access to my photos online on our "One-Month Anniversary."
I cannot thank them enough. I wouldn't think about hiring another photographer if I had the chance.
W Studios is a wonderful photography studio. Both Stephen and Yulia are fun, professional, and so at ease that you can't help but feel as though a good (but very talented) friend is taking your picture. The quality of their work is just wonderful - capturing absolutely every emotion of the day impeccably. Another perk of working with them is the extremely speedy turn around time for proofs - what eager bride doesn't love that?
Stephen is truly an artist. I am blown away by the photographs from our wedding and cannot say enough good things. Professional, friendly, and all around great team that W Studios New York has!!!
We got a sneak peek of our wedding photos only a week after the wedding while we were on our honeymoon and I was overjoyed to see such great work!
