I met Yan at the Meadowlands Bridal Expo. While most vendors there were over zealous to pull you into their booth & sell themselves, Yan was quiet and reserved & let his work speak for itself. I was blown away by his work on display. My heart just knew that he was our guy. He included a complimentary Engagement photoshoot with booking him & that was just a small glimpse of what was yet to come. He is absolutely beyond professional & his talent is immeasurable. His turnaround for photos is unmatched. I had my entire wedding album in 3 days. Which is something you never see. He was punctual & worked with the mishaps and chaos that wedding days bring & my husband and I couldn’t be more appreciative of him. There simply aren’t enough words to compliment Yan & his team.
His second photographer Frank was also outstanding. He showed up wedding morning with a huge smile on his face cracking jokes right away. Although we hadn’t met till that morning he is someone who is so warm & happy that you feel like you’ve known them forever. He got some of the BEST action shots & behind the scene shots throughout the day & night. We are still going through them and laughing & even crying happy tears.
Tim was our video guy who I also didn’t meet till wedding morning. He was very quiet & reserved as well but every-time I turned around he was there filming. We haven’t gotten to see our video yet for the video has a longer turnaround time. But I have no doubts or worries in my mind that it’s going to be perfect. Overall Yan & his team are exactly what you need & want for your wedding day.
We are beyond thrilled that we chose Yan to be our wedding photographer. Yan is an extremely talented artist and you can tell that he deeply cares for his work. Throughout the whole process, Yan was very professional and personable! He really took the time to listen to us and capture beautiful moments. He is also very accommodating and timely! We highly recommend Yan!
Yan is absolutely amazing and so so talented. I am so glad we picked him to do our photos. You can see how passionate he is and how much he loves doing it. He made everyone laugh and feel comfortable. He was very attentive and listened to what we wanted. Book him!! You will not regret it!
Any questions?
Yan Schwartzman Photography & Cinematography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Yan's communication was fast, clear, and precise, and he was extremely helpful throughout 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.
Choosing Yan to be our photographer for our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we have ever made. He was incredible throughout our whole wedding from start to finish. Captured a 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!

Thank you so much Amanda, what a beautiful wedding we had as I loved every moment of it. It’s been a pleasure working with you guys, hope we create more memories in future. Enjoy your photos.

Yan is an absolute natural behind the lens! As someone who is pretty particular about photography, I was very selective in choosing my photographer—and Yan exceeded every expectation. His portfolio immediately stood out, showcasing his keen eye for lighting and his ability to capture the most flattering angles in every shot. On the big day, he made everything flow effortlessly and kept us perfectly on schedule without ever feeling rushed. Despite not having done an engagement shoot together, Yan made taking photos feel comfortable and easy. And the results? Absolutely breathtaking. Each image speaks volumes about his talent and vision. I couldn’t be happier with how beautifully he captured our day!
We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding photographer, Yan and his entire team. From the very beginning, Yan exhibited an exceptional eye for detail and a natural talent for capturing 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.

Thank you so much Jessica for such a sweet review.
I am so so happy that you are pleased with my services and my photos. This means a world to me! Thank you again and enjoy your memories. Hope we can work again in the future to create even mor...
e memories!
Yan and his team are an absolute MUST on your wedding day and/or engagement shoot. I knew from the moment I saw his photos he is not “just another wedding photographer”. He is a true artist and creative. Yan has an eye for lighting, angles, and is able to turn any setting into a masterpiece! I was originally looking to spend a bit less on a photographer, but once I saw Yan’s photos and met with him for the first time, I knew he would be worth every penny. We did an engagement shoot leading up to the wedding (which I HIGHLY recommend!) so we were able to get to know his style and he could get to know us as a couple. Yan made us feel relaxed, comfortable, and seamlessly guided us from moment to moment. He has a calming energy about him while still keeping the momentum, which is so valued throughout the wedding process! I love that he is able to master both the bright, airy photo quality as well as dark and dramatic tones. Yan is truly a MASTER at what he does and you will not regret hiring him & his team.
I couldn’t resist adding a bunch of varying photos (both from wedding & engagement shoot!) Make sure to scroll all the way to the end so you can see just how incredible and versatile Yan is.
THANK YOU YAN!!
*For reference we had our wedding in June at the Camden County Boathouse in Pennsauken, NJ. It was a hot, windy, and humid day and Yan was still able to create magic*
Response from the Vendor on 06/25/2024
Thank you a million Nadia for such kind words. When the bride is happy with her photos, I think It’s the best compliment any photographer could receive. Enjoy your memories and I can’t wait to capture more of your memories in the future.
We got engaged in October of 2022 and we hired Yan Schwartzman as our photographer. He took our engagement photos at the NJ Botanical Gardens in May of 2023 and our wedding photos at David's Country Inn in November of 2023. The photos Yan took were absolutely beautiful! He is a true artist in every sense of the word and his use of lighting is incredible. Yan was very easy to work with, made us laugh, and kept us relaxed during the most stressful moments. He made the process so easy from the moment we hired him - he is a true professional. Even when we finalized our wedding album he was very patient and welcomed our feedback. He's also very responsive to phone calls, texts and emails, and he communicates very well. We are so glad that we hired Yan and highly recommend him to everyone!
Yan was so amazing to work with from the moment I reached out to him, through the entire wedding process. He was so timely in his responses and professional. On the wedding day he 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!
A big shout out to Yan. Working with him was an absolute pleasure and he is the kindest most decent human being. He works with you on everything goes through timetables of pictures 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.
Yan was super communicative prior to the wedding, answering any questions we had, and helping us plan out the best timeline for the day. He was very efficient, showed up ahead of time, 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!
Yan helped to make our wedding so special. He made us feel so comfortable - from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. We had so much fun working with him. His team was wonderful. We felt so comfortable and cared for while working with Yan. Our photos came out incredible! Yan works with lighting in a way that makes for gorgeous, dramatic photos and candid, fun ones too. We couldn’t recommend Yan more!

Thank you, Maddie, for your kind words. I really appreciate it; enjoy your photos!
Yan
Yan was fantastic! We met with him a few times virtually to go over all the details for the big day. He was attentive and gave us great advise. He was responsive to our timelines and 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!

Hi Christie, thank you so much for your review, I am so happy I was able to capture your wedding the way you envisioned it. Enjoy the photos, can’t wait to work with you again in the future,
Yan
100/10 Yan was so communicative and helpful throughout the planning process. Staying in touch with us, easy to reach and very professional. Day of- he was OUTSTANDING. He was funny, 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!
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2023
Hi Michaela, so sweet of you to write these nice words. I really appreciate it. I really hope that we will be working in the future again and I can’t wait to be a part of that. Enjoy your photos,
Yan
Yan was wonderful to work with! He was responsive, flexible and willing to adjust timelines as needed. Our wedding day couldn't have gone smoother. Yan did an excellent job making 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.
Yan was absolutely excellent. He really knew what he was doing and we really got some fantastic photos. He really worked with us as we are both not very photogenic but he gave great feedback and cues!
Response from the Vendor on 06/22/2023
Thank you so much Ken. What a great wedding you had and I had so much blast photographing you guys. Wish we can do it again. Enjoy the photos,
Yan
Yan is amazing and did a phenomenal job! He was so creative when it came to taking photos and really knows what he’s doing. I will be recommending Yan to others and I will
Be using him for any event I need a photographer for !!
Yan is the best! We found him through a friend of a friend and I'm so grateful we did. He was so easy to work, both with our engagement pictures and day of, and his turnaround time 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.
Response from the Vendor on 04/29/2023
Thank you so much Katrina, what a beautiful wedding we had and what a gorgeous weather! Loved working with you guys, hope we will work again in the future, enjoy the photos!
Yan was amazing to work with! He was super responsive during the whole process. When it came to the day off, he made us feel comfortable and most importantly CONFIDENT in our photos! 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!

Thank you so much Shanna, I had a blast photographing your wedding, enjoy the photos,
Yan
Book Yan immediately! We hired Yan for our 11/26/22 wedding and could not be happier with our photos. We met Yan a year prior to the wedding for our engagement photos. We knew we made 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%.

Thank you so much Alyssa for kind words, what a pleasure it was to photograph your wedding. Truly enjoyed working with you guys and capturing your big day. Enjoy the photos, hopefully we can work again the future
Yan was just simply AMAZING!! The wedding day can be stressful and chaotic; however, with Yan, getting the all the moments of the special day captured will be one thing you don't have 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!
I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer on my wedding day. My photos came out so beautiful. Yan was wonderful to work with for both our engagement photos and our wedding day. 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!
Yan was INCREDIBLE! Where do I begin?? Leading up to our actual wedding, he was very responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions- even going as far as offering a phone 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!
Working with Yan was a dream! Leading up to the wedding he answered all my emails and questions so quickly and had me at ease! Yan is so beyond talented, our photos turned out amazing, 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 !!

Thank you so much Kara, such a pleasure was to photograph your wedding, enjoy your photos!!
All I can say is WOW!!! Yan has a real talent when it comes to capturing true emotion and incorporating every detail around him. The pictures were so perfect and he was able to capture 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.
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2022
Thank you Paula, what a joy it was working with you guys and the venue you chose was so amazing. I will truly miss it. Enjoy your memories
Yan
I really wanted a company that offered both photography and videography and am very happy that I found Yan Schwartzman! From the initial inquiry, he set up a zoom call which I thought 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.
Response from the Vendor on 07/31/2022
Thank you 🙏 Laura, so sweet of you. Of course, what a pleasure it was being a part of your big day, thank you again for such a great review, enjoy the photos and video, hopefully it won’t be the last time.
Yan and his team were absolutely incredible. Not only did he make the process of choosing him and planning our day easy, he could not have been more kind, flexible, or professional 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!
Not only has Yan been an absolute pleasure to work with, but his photography is simply stunning! We had the pleasure of working with Yan for both our engagement shoot and our big day. 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!
Our experience with Yan and his assistant Maria was truly amazing. Yan was so patient throughout the chaos of our day, and managed to take the most beautiful photos through it all. 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!
What isn’t there to say about Yan? If you want your wedding day to be remembered the right way, you hire Yan. When we first inquired Yan it was during Covid - the process of trying 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!!!
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2022
Thank you so much Dallas, I am speechless from what you wrote..it means so much to me, what a pleasure it was to photograph your big day, thank you again for everything and enjoy your photos
We booked Yan for our February wedding and let me just say his pictures speak for themselves! His work is beyond amazing!! He is very detail oriented and makes sure to get you in the 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 :)
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2022
Thank you so much Jamie, so sweet of you. I had such a blast photographing you guys on this beautiful and warm February wedding. Thank you for your patience, it’s truly an honor for me to be a part of it. Enjoy the photos!
Let me start by saying that Photo/Video was probably the most important vendor for me, so hiring the right team was absolutely necessary. I've been working with Yan for about 2 years 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.
Yan went above and beyond for our wedding day! He is very detail oriented, and takes the time to ensure he has the best shots! He was able to capture every moment we wanted, and added 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!
Yan is the BEST of the best !!! He shot our engagement shoot and 2 of our weddings, which were spread apart by a year due to COVID. It rained like a hurricane during our engagement 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!
My husband and I just had our wedding photos taken by Yan, and once again we are blown away. We have been very fortunate to have had Yan capture some of our most memorable moments 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!!
We were very fortunate to have Yan as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met him he made us feel very comfortable. He was friendly, professional, and had our best interests 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!
yan was incredible to work with during our wedding! he is so kind and easy going and put us at ease throughout the day.
my husband I wanted to do a first look so we could do portraits 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!
Response from the Vendor on 08/16/2021
Hi Sarah, thank you so much for kind words and I am so happy everything worked out the way you envisioned it. Enjoy the photos and it was a pleasure photographing your wedding!
Yan was absolutely amazing! He captured the most breathtaking photos of my husband and I at our wedding. One specific was of us in rain (with and without a clear umbrella), it was stunning. He was extremely professional, patient, and an overall pleasure to work with.
Response from the Vendor on 07/10/2021
Thank you so much Brianna, I really appreciate those kind words, I loved working with you and photograph your wedding, hopefully we can work in the future again, enjoy the photos😊
One million times THANK YOU! Thank you for the laughs and the beautiful pictures, I would recommend you for any event possible, you love what you do and you enjoy every minute of it 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!
Response from the Vendor on 07/01/2021
Thank you Angelica for such beautiful words, it means so much to me. Enjoy
Planning a wedding can be an extremely stressful and daunting process! This makes finding the right vendors, that you mesh well with, so important! Yan was the very first vendor that 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!

Thank you Lisette, I truly treasured your wedding and the connection we’ve had since day one. I truly will miss it. Thank you again and enjoy your photos!
Yan was incredible from the moment we with met with him mid-pandemic over Zoom. We fell in love with his editorial style shots & the beauty & thought he puts into each photo. During our engagement shoot, Yan made us feel at ease and even more excited for our wedding. At our wedding, he took gorgeous shots of us, our family and bridal party. He listened to what mattered to us the most and totally came through. Our whole family commented on how much they loved him -- and they haven't even seen the pictures yet! I can't wait to have Yan take more photos at events in the future.... would recommend him to anyone!

Thank you so much Samantha for sweet words, I still miss your wedding and I can’t believe how quickly everything went. I truly truly enjoyed capturing your beautiful day and I wish we can do it again! Enjoy the photos!
Yan did an excellent job!! He was super accommodating, especially when we had to change the location of the first reveal. He was super easy to be around as well, and gave comforting and useful directions when posing everyone. He didn't miss a beat, especially in the chaos of a wedding! We're gratefully to have beautiful pictures that will last a lifetime!

Thank you so much Veronica, I love you guys!
Yan was absolutely amazing! He did our engagement photos and wedding! He made us and our family and friends comfortable (since we aren't used to professional photo posing), he was on time, and our photos turned out incredible ( I couldn't believe it was even me!!!). He tells you exactly what to do, he made me feel good about only paying for one photographer and he produced the photos within days!!!!! I would 10000% recommend Yan for really any of your special life moments.
We had the pleasure of using Yee for engagement photos and two weddings due to covid ! Talk about breath taking !! I booked Yee based off reviews and photos on this app and honestly I am so happy I did ! Every single photo is just perfect and he makes it fun! He makes all of it memorable & becomes family ! We love Yee & will
Use him for every event we can ! Book now !
Choose Yan! He did such a wonderful job at our wedding. He captured each of my favorite moments perfectly. And the photos are beautiful. He was timely and easy to contact. No delay at all. Best yet, he had our photos for available after a week from our wedding! That was unheard of to me.Usually you don’t receive your wedding photographs for months. But after 1 week we had our pictures. We received a link where we can view and share all our pictures. Within 1 month he finished our album, and sent us a digital copy to make sure that we agreed with the chosen photos and design. now we are just waiting for our printed album. From the previous albums he showed us, at our first meeting, I cannot wait!
He uses light beautifully and just captured GORGEOUS PHOTOS.

Thank you Joyce for such sweet and kind words. I truly loved photographing your wedding and working with you guys, it’s been my please and honor! Enjoy your photos!
Yan was so detailed and professional to work with for our engagement and wedding photos. We have such beautiful photos of our wedding day that we will cherish for years to come. Yan took formal photos of us and family members but also took the time to take more candid and cool pictures of us that are so special to have.

Thank you so much Caroline! Your wedding was absolutely stunning and I truly enjoyed to be a part of it. So glad you loved the photos, enjoy 😊
We found Yan online in 2019, met with him and really loved his personality and his approach to his work. He did our engagement photos, which came out beautiful. He was extremely flexible when we needed to reschedule the wedding from June 2020 to November 2020 due to COVID. He was professional, wore a mask the entire time, gave us a sneak peak while taking pictures, threw his artistic touch on the pictures and was an overall great photographer and person to work with. We also hired a second photographer through Yan for part of our day and he was also super professional and took awesome shots, it was nice to have 2 different creative perspectives for the day. Both were very easy for our wedding party and family to get along with. Highly recommend him for anyone, the photos came out fantastic and he does not break your bank.

Thank you so much Lindsay for sweet words. So happy you loved the photos. Enjoy the memories and thanks for everything. I truly enjoyed working with you guys!
I can not say enough good things about Yan. From that first phone call he made me feel so comfortable and answered my 100 questions because I had no experience with wedding planning at all! He went out of his way to meet me and show me some of his work before contracts were signed. I could not imagine my wedding day without him! His was extremely professional the whole way through! He was also very flexible and understanding when we had to change our plans so many times due to COVID! I HATE taking pictures but Yan made me feel so comfortable and made it fun! He captured EVERYTHING! His turn around was SO FAST for the final pictures and he even allowed me to meet with him to help create my album! I am so grateful for Yan and his amazing work!! I would 100% recommend him to everyone!!
Yan was an amazing photographer to work with for our engagement and wedding. He has such an artistic eye and produced some truly beautiful photos. We were novices at posing in front of the camera but Yan made us feel comfortable. We cannot recommend Yan enough!
Yan was phenomenal. We received over 700 pictures for four hours of time, and he had them to us in less than a week. He has great vision and could identify photo locations and poses that I never would have imagined. The lighting especially is stellar. He captured the joy of the day and was fun to work with as well. Highly recommend!
Yan was great to work with! He was extremely personable from the start . We absolutely love our pictures and would recommend him to anyone!
Yan is hands down the best photographer who thinks out of the box. He is very professional who was able to take incredible shots while working well with the videographer and DJ. We had a hard time choosing pictures to decorate the house as all pictures were simply amazing. The slide show at our wedding reception offered by Yan was truly exceptional. Hands down the most talented, best priced, and easy to work with photographer.
Nowadays, anyone can take a photo, but it takes a true professional to capture emotion. We hired Yan to photograph our wedding and the pictures are absolutely stunning. The emotion he was able to capture is palpable. I am able to recommend Yan without hesitation, not only because of his incredible talent, but because he is easy and enjoyable to work with.

Hi Robert! It was a true pleasure to photograph yours and Jamie’s wedding. Thank you so much for kind words, I will always remember that day. Happy life together and be well!
Yan Schwartzman is a true artist and absolutely wonderful at what he does. From the moment we met, working with Yan was effortless and seamless. We always felt heard and in good hands. Even during this pandemic Yan never missed a beat and we really appreciated how easy it was to work with him. Yan goes above and beyond to get the shot. We worked with Yan for our engagement shoot, small micro wedding this August 2020 and can't wait to work with him again at our big wedding next year. Yan does not disappoint, we love the photos we have.

Thank you so much for kind words Giovanna!
What a pleasure it was being a part of your small and intimate wedding, I can’t wait to photograph you again next year.

We can’t say enough good things about Yan. He was wonderful to work with from the moment we had our first engagement shoot all the way through our wedding (part 1). Yan was super flexible, even when we postponed and had to put a backup date on calendar.
We are so happy to have had Yan be a part of our most important and special days!
Yan provided the photography and cinematography for my wedding. He was a pleasure to work with. He was always professional and punctual. Most of all, he has a real talent for photography and it was easy to shoot with him since he has so many ideas! He had my photos back to me within a week, which was wonderful. Our wedding photos turned out amazing!!!
The past few months have been difficult due to planning a wedding during COVID. Yan has been so flexible and calming throughout each and every change. When we decided we were going to do a small ceremony this year and our big reception next year, he had no problem accommodating us. While taking pictures, Yan kept it fun and made us laugh the entire time. My husband and I got a few pictures to preview the night of our wedding and got the rest of the pictures two days after. We love each and every single picture and we cannot stop staring at them. Yan exceeded our expectations and we will be recommending him to everyone we know. We cannot wait to work with him again next year!!!
Yan has just been outstanding. At every point he's gone above and beyond what we expected. He really went for the perfect shot in every scenario, even using the reflection off of a glass table to get a really cool effect that I can't imagine anyone else would've thought of. This just speaks to his attention to detail and the dedication he has to his craft. Both my bride and I are are not great at getting our picture taken but from the engagement photo shoot to the wedding Yan made us feel really comfortable and you can really see how important that is. Even when it started to rain he stayed incredibly calm and really helped us weather the storm. He also made sure to capture, not just the big events, but also great small moments that I'm sure we wouldn't remember without a photo to remind us about it. The album that you get is also outstanding. Yan picked out great shot and if you want to change anything makes the process really easy and couldn't be more accommodating. We love showing it off!
It goes without saying that he is an absolute professional. He respected our timelines at a very early wedding and was fully prepared from the moment he got to the venue. We did have some issues and Yan was quick to correct them and we were more than pleased with his work.
Bottom-line is we'd recommend Yan for any photography needs and we know you'll be happy when you see the final result. Make sure to say hi to his aborable Frenchie Gigi!

Thank you so much Patrick for sweet review, I really appreciate that. So glad you loved the photos and it means a world to me. Have an amazing life together and hope we will do more sessions in the future with more additions to your family.
Ya...

We couldn’t be happier with our experience and are so grateful that we had Yan to help capture our special day. I was so happy he gave us the option of “first look photos” so we could enjoy more of the wedding with our friends & family. Loved my photos of the wedding! He’s was punctual, easy to work with, & very talented. This was by far the best option for our wedding.
Yan was the best photographer a bride could ask for. He was professional and kind and really captured everything we could ask for and more. Many people compliment on the perfect lighting or perfect scenery, which were both INCREDIBLE in all of the shots, but what he did best was capture the JOY and LOVE that was felt in the room from getting ready, to saying I do, to dancing the night away. You will be blown away by him like I was! Thank you Yan!!!

Thank you so much Maria for sweet words, I truly loved and enjoyed capturing your big day. Enjoy your photos!!
From the moment we met with Yan to use him as our photographer it has been nothing short of perfect. He was timely in answering any questions and changing anything we needed. We didn't have a grand plan to go by, but Yan knew exactly what to do and it made the day easy and effortless. There was no pressure for time, everything flowed so smooth. It was a day full of laughter and joy, and that includes when your photographer makes you laugh at flowers. Words can't describe how amazing Yan was. I've seen some snippets of photos from the night and my husband and I cried on how amazing they look. Seriously, if your looking for a photographer who knows exactly what to do and how to do it to make the day easy and get everything you want in and also getting shots you didn't think of, I highly recommend Yan. 100% best decision ever.

Thank you so much Victoria, it was my pure pleasure to capture your beautiful wedding and make sure everything goes smoothly. There were so many beautiful moments and I am so happy that we were able to capture them. Enjoy the photos!
My husband and I just got married a couple of weeks ago on November 29th 2019. Yan was the photographer at our wedding and I cannot emphasis enough as to how utterly amazing and professional he was. Weddings are extremely stressful in and of themselves, and on top of that , my husband and I aren't ones who are naturally comfortable being in front of the camera, but Yan is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! He is WAY more than a photographer, he is a TRUE ARTIST!!!!! Photography is his PASSION and you can tell that from the moment you meet him. He made us feel so comfortable it was like he was a part of the family! I follow him on all of his social media and continue to be astounded by the artistry he creates and posts. I am honored to have had him take our photos at our wedding. They came out absolutely AMAZING! Words cant express how good they were. There are so many phenomenal shots that we are honestly having a hard time picking our favorites! Our photos look like we should be in a magazine - and its all thanks to Yan. He is a true professional, you won't even notice hes there! He is able to capture TRUE moments of your day. Not just the stand in a line and smile photos. No no, I mean TRUE moments that exude the exact emotion you are feeling in that moment. It just jumps right out of the photo. True artistry... Thank you Yan from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so memorable. Our photos are absolutely perfect and we will be reliving the emotion of the that day through your talented shots for many many years to come! Cant wait to work with you again!

Oh my, thank you so much Dana for such beautiful words, I am so flattered. I truly truly loved working with both of you and capturing your day In the best light. It was my biggest pleasure ever. Glad you loved everything and enjoy the photos.
I met Yan at a Bridal expo and knew from the moment that I met him, that we had to have him photograph our wedding day! Yan’s positive attitude and attention to every important detail made it go so easy. Any request or concern that we had, he made sure it was taken care of. He was so patient with our large bridal party. He was kind, and most importantly excellent to work with. Having Yan photograph our wedding day was like having a team of photographers, due to his skill of shooting with multiple cameras by himself. We are so happy that we chose Yan to photograph our special day. He really is THE BEST!

Yan is AWESOME! He was able to capture the most beautiful moments from the best day of our lives. He is incredibly talented and easy to work with. My husband and I were so comfortable in front of the camera because of Yan. He made us feel at ease and relaxed. We enjoyed every minute with him and are thrilled to have these photos for the rest of our lives!
If i was to describe a wedding photographer, i would definitely say trustworthy, professional, with sparkling eyes, creative, willing to do extra mile, always supportive. With this said, Yan is all of it and more. I am extremely happy with our wedding pictures and want once again say THANK YOU!
Quality, professional, fun, responsive, punctual, creative; there are not enough words to describe the benefits you get working with Yan. He was by far the greatest vendor we booked, not a single ounce of regret. You not only receive stunning photos and videos, but it's an entire magical experience that not any photographer can capture. I can't wait to use your services again Yan, thank you so much!!!
We had so much fun with Yan on our wedding day. He made great use of all the beautiful places at our chosen venue and he captured all the important moments. The pictures were perfect!! showing how talented and professional he is with his work. Yan made us feel comfortable at all times, and everything went smoothly as planned. We couldn't have picked a better photographer for our special day! Thanks a lot, Yan!!
Yan was the absolute best fit for our day! He seamlessly captured some of our favorite moments and the essence of our day. He was calm, poised, creative, and professional. Yan listened to our requests, and when we were stumped for ideas, we trusted him to be our creative director--and it was perfect! He understands the couples he works with and captures them authentically and beautifully! 10/10 recommend! Thanks Yan!
High energy personality.
Great eye for highlighting the couple’s and venue’s strengths.
Efficient at both taking photos and editing; we had our full gallery within 3 weeks of the wedding!
Yan was amazing to work with for both engagement and wedding photos. We selected Yan for his impeccable style—every photo we took, he knew exactly where the light was and how to best capture it. We also loved his candid style for photos during the wedding. He captured all the great moments from the dance floor! Yan is also very responsive and quick with getting the photos back to us before the deadline in the contract. We couldn’t thank him enough for being an excellent photographer for our wedding!
Do not even think of using another photographer for your special day!! Yan is so professional and easy to work with. He’s a true artist.
Yan was a pleasure to work with. Throughout the planning process leading up to our wedding he was responsive, informative, and helpful. Then on the day of our wedding he took on a large list of family photos all by himself with great efficiency.
His photos are all beautiful works of art. He knows how to use lighting to make color pop and his black and whites are gorgeous as well. He saw the beauty in a lot of places in and around our wedding venue that made for very romantic photos.
We got our photo gallery back from him in one week which is super fast! He is currently working on one of his stunning photo album for us which we can’t wait to see.
We definitely would recommend Yan to photograph your next event!
Yan is a pleasure to work with . From the moment we connected and started planning our day Yan came with great suggestions for timeline, pictures, backdrops and candid shots.
Our wedding day went so smooth because we knew Yan is a professional and he will take great pictures of us.
We cannot recommend Yan enough to anyone looking for a great photoshoot to capture their love and create lifelong memories.
