Yan Schwartzman Photography & Cinematography

ble from the second you meet him. He effortlessly assists with posing and direction, and offers the best suggestions during one of your most special days. Extremely prompt and effortless communication with getting our photos to us and making edits for our albums. I would use Yan again for anything I wish to have the best keepsakes for. He was truly the best!!

ughout the entire process. The quality of his work was excellent, with a quick turnaround time, and he went the extra mile to ensure every moment was perfectly captured. Yan makes you feel so comfortable from the first time you meet him, which is really helpful for people who aren't used to being in front of a camera. Yan finds inspiration in the smallest details, capturing things we wouldn't have ever thought of. I couldn't imagine a better photographer for our special day.

ton of amazing photos and made it so fun! (Our entire wedding party loved him!) We are so grateful to have Yan apart of our big day! We highly recommend booking with Yan!

pturing the essence of our special day. His professionalism and warm demeanor made us feel comfortable and at ease, allowing us to enjoy every moment while he worked his magic. Yan’s timing was impeccable; he never missed a single important moment. The candid shots he captured are some of our favorite photos, perfectly reflecting the joy and love we felt. His creativity and unique perspective brought a fresh and artistic touch to our wedding album, making it a true work of art. Our guests were also incredibly impressed with Yan’s ability to blend into the background while still capturing stunning shots. He was always there at the right moment, yet never intrusive. The resulting photos are a beautiful blend of posed and spontaneous, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Yan's dedication to his craft and his passion for photography truly shone through in every picture. We are so grateful to have had him as our photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to perfectly capture their special moments.

was so kind and great to work with. The photos came out incredible - he is so talented! He provided the photos back to me so quickly. Would definitely reccomend!

and six to them so you are not impinging on your reception. A preview of the photographs my daughter’s wedding Saturday night seem beyond our wildest imagination. Thank you so much. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner for the photography and videography.

ime, and even finished the first look and family/bridal photos way ahead of time. He was wonderful to work with the day-of, giving us tips on how to pose and a constant reminder for me to keep my chin up. His videographer was able to follow us around, was super friendly, and was able to capture the best moments. Everyone had high regards for Yan and his videographer and LOVED the photos and videos!! The photos were done within TWO days of the wedding- insanely fast and impressive, and SO many photos!!! One of my bridesmaids even booked him for her future wedding next year! Yan is super efficient and does a great job capturing the best moments. We did ask for a few updates to the photos and videos (with the correct wedding date, and to lower the music so we could hear our voices/vows), and while we felt like his responses were a little curt, everything was so beautiful and those were minute details to the wonderful work he and his videographer did! We hope one day to be featured on his social media with his other brilliant work!

nd was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made us feel extremely comfortable with his visions and the photos came out amazing. We can't wait to put together our album and hope to work with Yan again in the future. Highly recommend this great professional and gentleman. Thank you!

, personable and flexible. He truly knows what he is doing, getting perfect shots and beautiful veil photos. He is incredibly talented!! I wish I could get married all over again just to have an excuse to work with Yan again! We also worked with his videographer who got some amazing shots of us. If you’re considering booking with him - DO IT!

sure we got all of the important shots and we didn't even provide a shot list. He even shared a few sneak peaks before I walked down the aisle. All of the pictures were breathtaking and we had our full gallery less than 72 hours after our reception ended.

t feedback and cues!

him for any event I need a photographer for !!

is incredible! We had our wedding pictures back in less than a week and we are obsessed with them. His pricing is incredibly reasonable and we really appreciated that he doesn't give the hard-sell other photographers gave us. We are hoping to have the chance to use Yan again in the future for our next milestones.

s! We got married less than 2 weeks ago and already have all of our pictures and they are flawless! he is truly talented and works with natural light which makes for some beautiful photos. i also appreciated him showing me some of them as he was taking them so i can see what he saw and it made us that much kore comfortable. we also used his colleague for videography and Tim was amazing as well. so helpful and a blast to work with!

ade the right decision after seeing the beautiful engagement photos he took. We took our photos on Sunday 10/31 and literally had all of the photos the following day, 11/1! Yan was so easy to work with and was very responsive. The day of our wedding was an absolute dream! Yan, Tim (videographer) and Luke (photo assistant) arrived on time and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I had a hard time seeing some of Yan's visions but WOW does he have an eye for a great photo. I couldn't believe all of the beautiful shots that Yan captured. Again, our photos were ready for review in record time! We were married on 11/26 and had our whole gallery back by the following Friday. We really loved working with Yan and can't thank him enough! We would recommend Yan 10000%.

ave to worry about. Yan was always responsive to any questions we had during the planning process. He let us know the timeline and other things to note beforehand. He understood what is important to us and executed above our expectation. We wanted our wedding pictures to capture those candid moments, not only of the wedding parties but also our guests. Yan delivered exactly that! When my husband and I got the wedding pictures back, we got the opportunity to re-live that perfect day. We are so GRATEFUL of that! In addition to that, my husband and I never thought we are cut out for more creative and artsy shots; but Yan guided us through the process and created some beautiful shots that we will treasure forever. If you are looking to assemble the "dream team" that will execute beyond your expectation on your big day with zero stress added, Yan should be your top pick!

ay. He also got us all our photos back so quickly! His prices are very reasonable as well. My only regret is I hired him for 8 hours instead of 10!

one call to go over things in detail. On the actual day, he and his assistant (Tim, who was also wonderful!) showed up on time and were extremely professional throughout the entire process. And I mean PROFESSIONAL! You can tell that photography is Yan's passion. He came equipped with everything he needed to get the perfect shot, including a lighting stick which was totally unexpected but made some of the shots really beautiful and unique. What I really loved is that he gave all of his subjects direction on how to pose, which made the final product look AMAZING! We really appreciated all of the thought that went into creating the perfect shots. Yan and Tim were very friendly and warm, not just to myself and my husband but also our families and bridal party. And the turnaround time for the pictures was so quick! We are in love with our photos. So, would I recommend Yan? ABSOLUTELY. You'd be hard pressed to find a better option. He has set the bar really high! Thank you Yan and Tim for capturing such a magical evening. I want to live it over and over again, and now I can with the amazing photos that you took!

zing, he has an Extraordinary eye for photography. Spots we didn’t think to take photos at Yan positioned us and took the most beautiful photos. I can not recommend Yan enough, I would book him 100 times over !!

pture the most amazing moments of our wedding, every time I look at our collection of photo’s from my engagement and our wedding day , I feel like I am back there again, living in the moment. I would highly recommend Yan Schwartzman Photography, if you are looking to capture something special! His work is very unique and I assure you, you won’t be disappointed.” Thank you for making my special day even more special and making sure I was able to relive my wedding in every single picture you took. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding day and you see this review! This is your sign to contact Yan for your special day.

ght helped us get to know each other more than just through email or a phone call. You definitely want to be comfortable with your photographer because you are with them all day on the biggest day of your life! I liked Yan right away -- he is professional, very artistic, has a sense of humor and offers many extras that added value to his already more affordable pricing. He offered a complimentary engagement shoot which was awesome! It's a great chance to really get to know him and his style and it was great practice for us as a couple who had never had professional photos done before. He also includes a beautiful leather bound wedding album and lets you see it online and make any changes prior to printing. It comes in a fabulous keepsake box and is truly STUNNING. In addition, you get to choose an acrylic print -- it's huge and again, just STUNNING! Different from a canvas print that you can make and order yourself. We recently had a party at our house and so many people complimented the acrylic print! As for the photos on your wedding day, Yan takes a variety of shots and has a creative eye with lighting. He gives you access to all of your photos in an online album -- we have 800+! His assistant Maria is fabulous and such a calming presence throughout your big day! We also LOVED our videographer Tim! He and Yan work very well together. He gives you a 3-5+ minute highlight video and a full length video of the day (ours was 2+ hours and includes the full ceremony, speeches, dances etc!). Honestly, our video is something I truly cared about and looked through many videographers and Tim's work goes above and beyond. I am writing a novel here but honestly, I am just so happy we chose Yan! I also liked that it's just him and Tim because they truly care about you throughout the process. We received all of our wedding photos within 1 week! (How crazy is that!?) We received the videos within 10 days! I know friends that have waited way more than 6 months to get their pictures and videos back.

during our wedding. Yan and his team showed up on time, ready to go, and took the most incredible pictures all day long. We will recommend him to everyone we know. He is a true gem!

ay. He has an eye for lighting like no other photographer I have ever seen before and can make a simple backdrop look like a true work of art. Our wedding day was unfortunately very windy, but Yan and his assistant, Maria, were able to snap pictures quickly, create some magic, and have us laughing throughout the process. Book Yan for your wedding — you will not regret it!

. Not to mention we got all of our photos back less than a week later - can't beat that! I would highly recommend using Yan and his team for any of your upcoming events, you wont regret it!

to even find a photographer during these strange times just gave so much anxiety and Yan just eased all of that. Yan was the first photographer we met with for our wedding and his charm, passion, positivity, reassurance and smile went a long way. We scheduled other photographer appointments that same day but they did not compare Yans vibrant and fun personality. we called Yan after all of our meetings that same night and signed our contract with him. With the package he provided us we got a photographer (obviously him), an assistant and a videographer that he works with for ten hours, an album, all the photos, an acrylic print, a highlight video and a full video. (his prices are amazing!) (AND LADIES IF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IS TALENTED AND CLEARLY KNOWS WHAT THEYRE DOING ONE PHOTOGRAPHER IS OK!) We got to experience Yans work for ourselves when we did an engagement shoot with him and his work speaks for itself. When we received our photos back I was just extremely excited for our wedding day. We had several get togethers and phone calls where we developed time lines - first looks, bridal party etc which all was really helpful. I would send his inspiration photos of previous brides there as he sent me some and just saved them away so we can recreate a version of our own. I was really happy that hes been to our venue before and just knew the ins and outs of spots. Its so funny because this day is overwhelming as it is and he just kept reassuring us were fine and to have fun with it. After all this is the most important part of your wedding day because you get to look back on this forever. His photos and the videographers videos captured our day to the fullest and I could not have been happier. The turn around time for the photos and videos was WITHIN a week of our wedding and everyone who saw these photos ALL said that they belong in a magazine! Looks like we found our family photographer for life!!!

he proper position in order to get the perfect photo. Not only are his pictures great, but he also has great customer service! You can tell Yan truly cares about his couples. He always answers emails/texts quickly, and we got our pictures back sooo fast!! He even texted me the week of my wedding to tell me the weather was looking great which I thought was super sweet! Don’t hesitate to book Yan! You will be happy with your decision when you see how beautifully he captures your day :)

rs now and he never ceases to amaze me with his brilliant photography. Yan is INSANELY talented. Like, the real deal. He did our engagement shoot in December 2019 and the pictures were unreal - it was that moment we knew we made the right choice. Not only were the pictures crazy beautiful, but he sent a few of them that night, and we had the whole album less than a week later. So many people raved about these pictures, asked for Yan's information, and a few hired him for their wedding. Our wedding was Nov 2021 and once again, Yan pulled through. It put me at ease on wedding day knowing that I trusted Yan 100% to take absolutely breathtaking pictures - he knows how to set you up, makes you comfortable in front of the camera, and is so efficient in doing so (knowing that no one wants to be taking pictures longer than they have to!). Throughout wedding day, Yan would show me the pictures in real time on his camera - this was amazing, even my bridesmaids were commenting how fantastic that was. Of course, I was blown away by every picture I saw. The next day Yan texted us some teasers, and before we even left for our honeymoon a week later, we had the whole digital album. I can't recommend Yan and his team enough - I've been doing so for the past 2 years and will continue to do so forever.

ded his own creativity along the way.. we also ended up ordering a few albums a few months later and he was so easy to work with! Highly recommend!

shoot and first wedding and looking at the pictures, you wouldn't even be able to tell. He has been beyond helpful in every aspect of the wedding planning timeline over these past 2+ years. Our wedding pictures were delivered within 4 days and every one of them was our favorite. We were blessed to work with him from start to finish, and will never want to work with anyone else!

yet, as of this weekend 9/25/21. From Engagement photos to maternity and now are wedding!!! He has become part of the family!!! We can not wait to see what the future has in store for us, and the moments he will capture!!

ts at heart. He walked us through the process and gave us plenty of time and space to consider our options. He is incredibly passionate about his work and truly does care about providing memories of such a special day to his couples. We were lucky enough to have him not photograph just 1 but 2 weddings (thanks COVID), an engagement session and my father in-law even hired him for a family photo shoot! He kept us laughing and smiling through the 3 years we got to work with him, and he was always responsive and respectful. Yan was able to capture memories of both our special days and for that we will always be so grateful!

aits prior to the ceremony. yan and his team set it up perfectly and the pictures are just amazing. the portraits came out fantastic, too. during the reception, we asked him to get candids of everyone, and we just love them. the prints were also done for us only a few days after the wedding!

stunning. He was extremely professional, patient, and an overall pleasure to work with.

t and most importantly your photos show all of it. You are the best at what you do and people would be crazy if they don't choose you as their photographer for their wedding day. Thank you again!

at we met with and from the moment we stepped in the door we instantly felt welcome and knew that we made the right decision. He had come highly recommended from one of our friends. My husband and I are both very camera shy and just naturally not used to being the center of attention but Yan made us feel SO comfortable! He posed us in very natural positions and made us laugh. He has such a wonderful personality and is truly a master of his craft! You can tell he truly loves what he does - he gets very excited when he gets a good shot and his passion for photography shows in his work! We also received both our engagement photos and wedding photos extremely fast and they were stunning! Even my bridesmaids were so impressed with him! If you're looking for a passionate, professional, and talented photographer, look no further!
