Yanira was an absolute blessing to have on my special day. She was always ready to capture the best moments and was so attentive to detail. She has the kindest heart and I could not ask for a better photographer. The pictures turned out amazing...
and were sent to me within a few short days. She was such a pleasure to have and I am more than pleased with my photos!
Yanira, exceeded our expectations as she captured some beautiful pictures of my husband and I in our intimate courthouse wedding. She is very punctual, communicates very well and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

ing with you! And I also can’t wait to work with you again as you start your family :)
We originally contacted Yanira for our engagement pictures. Setting up the location and time was a breeze thanks to her prompt responsiveness. Yanira was on time and ready to get down to business as soon as we arrived to the destination. During...
our engagement session, she made my fiancé and me feel comfortable in front of the camera and we really felt like she got who we were as a couple. We had a few ideas of what we wanted her to capture and she totally listened to what we wanted and captured amazing images. Yanira was able to get a few sneak peak images to us and as soon as we saw those we knew we had to book her for our wedding as well! Just as expected, our experience with Yanira and her work during our wedding exceeded what we could have ever imagined. She knew exactly what we wanted her to capture and every time we look at our pictures, it’s like we’re there all over again. Thank you for all your hard work, your passion for what you do really comes across in every image you take.
We hired Yanira because her portfolio stood out to me above all others! She has a genuine kind spirit and truly cared about our wedding day! She captured the true essence of the moment and didn’t forget any details! She is amazing!!! Cou...

f the moving parts together for a seamless wedding day. I have worked with many wedding photographers and I can say that Yanira Moves through the day calmly and kindly. Many other photographers can be stressed can step on the toes of other wedding vendors and not be as respectful as one should, but Yanira treats everyone with grace and professionalism.
We love Yanira! She’s an amazing photographer and I would highly recommend her. She’s very easy to work with and takes great photos. Five stars for sure!
Yanira is the best photographer you can work with!
We hired Yanira for our wedding photos because her portfolio stood out above all others to us. All her photos look so natural and the emotion of the moment was so well captured, that we knew t...
his was what we wanted for our wedding. And she delivered more than we could've hope for! We were pretty late with booking her, but from the beginning she was super friendly and helpful. She made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and had great ideas for good locations for photos and the results were spectacular! The next day already she sent us sneak-peek photos which were amazing and beautifully edited. We couldn't believe it was us on the photos, in the best possible way! Such a nice memory of this special day for us. Yanira went more than the extra mile for us and we will definitely work with her again and definitely recommend working with her to anyone!
After meeting with a few wedding photographers, I knew that Yanira was THE one I wanted. From the moment we meet, she was very professional, but what sealed the deal was how sweet & caring she was. I wasn’t just another client to her. I truly f...
elt like she cared about my BIG day!! In the weeks leading up to my wedding day, we spoke & text often and she was very genuine & informative. She would answer all my questions & concerns. Yanira photographed 3 straight days for us (fri - rehearsal dinner; Sat - wedding; Sun - family brunch) and her work ethic was stellar all 3 days. We received our online gallery within reasonable time, and let me tell you her work blew me away. She knew how to capture the most intimate moments with my husband and I. As well as the fun stuff at the reception! Looking back on this entire experience with her, I’m so grateful I chose Yanira. I highly recommend her not only for her incredible work, but especially for how kind & professional she is. Photos are the most precious memories to have, and my heart so happy with our photos from our wedding day.
Yanira was such an amazing photographer! I am not photogenic however Yanira was able to make me feel comfortable and made me feel beautiful! Her easy going personality helped me in having fun with my pictures! She edited them beautifully an...
d has a great eye for details!!! I would definitely recommend her work!! Thank you Yanira!!!
She not only takes fantastic pictures, but her sweet and calm spirit makes your session with her that much more enjoyable! Yanira is so down-to-earth and makes you comfortable in front of the camera from the get-go. You can tell her heart is to...
capture sweet moments and memories with your loved ones and not all business. However, she is a professional through and through and works hard to get your pictures to you especially when YOU have a deadline! AAAH! I’m still OBSESSED with my pictures and still trying to find room in my house to add more pictures!
Absolutely loved her and her work!
She didn’t mention in our contract that she did not do touch ups on pictures. She took very long to give me my pictures and when she did she didn’t bother putting it in a cd, in an email or usb. She just told me to download them from her site. ...
Then when I convinced her to do some touch ups on 13 pictures she took over a month to complete them. She texted me and asked me for payment after telling me that the pictures were done. Didn’t ask if they were to my liking before asking for payment. When I viewed them the edits weren’t done like I asked. I sent specific shots of each picture with the specific edits I needed. She lost those edit requests 3 times. I had to take time out of my very busy schedule to gather the pictures with edit instructions and resend them. Then when I asked if she had done any of the edits I asked she said, “I’m editing them from my car and have 2% battery! Could you please approve and pay me?” Not professional at all! I had scheduled her for 3 events even after this episode. But decided on only using her for 2 of the 3 events instead. She didn’t take it well and quit on my 2nd event just like that. She owes me $800 and hasn’t paid me yet. It has been a month and still nothing. Beware

I truly strive to give my brides a wonderful experience from the moment we meet till the day they receive their personal on-line gallery. I offered you thirty free photo touch-ups as a gift to you. ( I don’t usually do that unless my clients bu...
y prints from my professional printing services ) I didn't charge you a traveling fee to fly to Italy because you are my brother in-law's cousin and you asked me for a good family discount. There is a difference between editing and touch-ups. Editing is color correcting tones and hues and whatever the photographer's photo editing style is and touch-ups is more in depth work. You made a non-refundable deposit of $700 to reserve two wedding dates with me. A small wedding in Italy and one in Temecula. Some of my wedding packages come with complementary engagement sessions so I gave you that service. But since you canceled the second wedding date in Temecula because you wanted an unlimited amount of touch-ups for free the engagement session is no longer complimentary. So I charged you for that service. The second deposit you made of $600 has to go towards the engagement photography service I provided for you. Your engagement session date was rescheduled several times because of the California wild fires and your photos were being worked on during every photographers busiest season of the year, The Holidays. I sent you the contract several times and you failed to sign it. You also asked me to change the contract so that you wouldn’t be liable to the wedding package pricing... I’m sorry but you breeched our verbal contract when you tried to renegotiate and canceled my services for Temecula. In the end I spent 3,000 in travel fees which were non-refundable non of which I ever charged you for. I honestly and truly wish you the best of luck Christine!
Yanira is nothing short of incredible! Choosing a photographer was one of the hardest parts about wedding planning for us. From the moment we saw Yanira’s work, we were in love. She was exactly what we were looking for. Yanira was so amazing to...
work with, from the engagement session all the way through to the end of the wedding. She was super professional, got along so easily with our wedding party & family, and did such a fantastic job with our photos. I barely even noticed her on the day of the wedding. Yanira is so talented at what she does, and she makes everyone she works with feel comfortable & at ease. We would highly recommend her to any couples that want a fun, laid-back, all-around awesome person to shoot their wedding.
Yanira was an incredible photographer to work with! We absolutely love our engagement and wedding photos! She was quickly responsive and extremely helpful. She was very organized and worked very well with our coordinator and the venue. She is v...

Thank you so much Luis I truly enjoyed photographing you and Lucy's engagement session. You are one of the sweetest couple I have met!
Yanira consistently went out of her way to make sure I was satisfied and pleased with everything during my big day, and afterwards. I am so grateful Yanira was there literally the entire day from 9am-10pm. She is a shining example of profession...
alism and creativity. Every image of our wedding jumps off the page, as if coming to life. Yanira has a way of blending the authenticity and "realness" of people with magical auras. Lastly, within two minutes of meeting Yanira you know she truly cares about you and your event, and will be there to not only capture your day, but to celebrate in it with you. That is special and unique. I love everything that is Yanira Scalise Photography. She is a rare gem. I would definitely work with her again in the future (family portraits), and I recommend her for anyone out there who wants to be wowed by their wedding photos!

I'm a California girl born and raised! I've been an artist ever since I can remember... I found my passion in photography until I started taking photos of my boys. I've been a photographer for 10 years now and I feel so grateful to be sharing my gift with every bride I meet. I know photos can be intimidating but I think my relaxed personality helps my clients be at ease during photos. Little bit about me: I enjoy hot yoga, eating healthy and a good cup of coffee.
