Yelena Tsioma Photography

Yelena & Vlad flew all the way out to Utah to capture our surprise proposal on a mountain top and I was shocked at how smoothly they planned this all with my fiancé!!!🥹💞💞💞🏔️💍. From capturing our dating season in a library🥹✨(one of my favorite shoots EVER!), to classy and rich museum-like photos in a Capitol building with my lover, I cannot recommend these two ENOUGH! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Yelena truly has a gift of storytelling!🙌🏽

If you are looking for someone to capture your wedding (or any special moment or occasion) you're in the right place. Yelena and Vlad are an incredible team who are so fun to work with and put us immediately at ease. They were genuinely interested in learning more about our story and what we were hoping to capture, both for our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. They went above and beyond to include our dogs and even an edit to Include dinosaurs at my request! From start to finish they were so easy to work with , exceptionally responsive and consistently available for any and all questions. They made planning our wedding that much more enjoyable and left us with incredible photos that we will forever cherish. Thank you Yelena and Vlad!!

Yelena and Vlad (her husband and second photographer) were phenomenal photographers and equally phenomenal people to work with! We worked with them for our wedding + engagement photoshoots and were extremely happy with the results as they went above and beyond expectations. They have a unique shooting style to capture cool angles and viewpoints, were easy to work/talk with, and sent out photos in a timely manner. All in all, Yelena and Vlad are genuinely great people who invest in you and your celebration. We hope to shoot with them again in the future!

I can not express my absolute gratitude for the amount of time and effort that was put into our engagement and wedding photos. They turned out better than we could have ever imagined. For our engagement photos, we were taken to the most amazing places. Our wedding was amazing, fun and thanks to Yelena, very memorable!

Yelena and Vlad are the best! They were easy to get along and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are still not sure where they stood to capture those beautiful shots. Apart from being professional, they are also open to other cultures. This made our multi cultural wedding even more memorable. We have nothing but praises for this wonderful team and we keep hearing how great they were with guests during the entire wedding. Everyone is still in a photo coma with the pictures and we highly recommend this duo!

As soon as I met Yelena and Vlad at my friend's wedding, I instantly knew I wanted them to be my photographers for my wedding. They are such sweethearts and work so well as a team. My husband and I loved them from the beginning. The ideas they come up with, the details they capture, the stories they tell, I can go on and on. I can't thank them enough for all the hard work and talent they put into for my wedding and capturing great moments. I highly recommend them.

Did such a wonderful job. Pictures are beautiful and they are so easy to work with.

Yelena and Vald were so amazing! They know what they are doing and helped us be comfortable in front of the camera. They are truly artists and are amazing at their craft!

I booked Yelena and Vlad for my wedding and am so thankful I chose them. We had an outdoor winter wedding and Yelena and Vlad stuck it out through hours in the snow and captured incredible photos. At one point Yelena was giving up her own jacket to keep me warm in my wedding dress in between shots. They are so easy to work with and can make anybody feel comfortable in front of the camera. I cannot thank Yelena and Vlad enough for being a part of our day. They are such professional, kind and talented photographers and anybody would be lucky to book them!

Yelena and Vlad were amazing to work, we will for sure use them in the future for any other photo needs. They captured every moment beautifully and could not be more pleased with their work. Not only do they have an exceptional talent they ensure everything runs smoothly during all stages of your wedding planning. Yelena and Vlad played such a huge role the day of our wedding and couldn’t be more thankful for all of their help, kindness, and talent.

We booked Yelena and Vlad for our elopement in Stanley, Idaho, and they were so amazing to work with! Despite encountering some mountain weather on our wedding day, they were very accommodating and flexible with working through rain, wind, and cold weather to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. It was apparent how dedicated they were to our wedding day and how passionate they are about their work. They were so easy and pleasant to work with and made posing feel natural and effortless. They were even great working with our dog, who can be a little sensitive around strangers, but we still got some great photos with him! I happen to look at lots of wedding photography for work, so I’ve seen tons of wedding photos! Between looking through Yelena and Vlad’s portfolio and working with them, it is clear how overwhelmingly talented they are. They create timeless, creative, and truly magical photos in any setting; and their composition, use of light, and ability to capture pure emotion is simply breathtaking. We feel so lucky that they captured our special day, and we are beyond thrilled with our photos, which we will cherish for years to come! The value of their services is incredible since you are booking not just one but TWO highly experienced professional photographers. If you are looking for photography services for any reason, I highly recommend this phenomenal team!

Yelena and Vlad were so great work with! They did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

Amazing husband & wife duo. They made us feel so beautiful and amazing on our special day and went out of their way to capture everything! I highly recommend them! ❤

Yelena and Vlad are an amazing team! We couldn’t be more thankful to have had the opportunity to work with them and that we chose them to photograph our wedding day. Their attention to detail, flexibility and artistic style are truly incredible! The teaser photos we’ve received are beautiful, and we cannot wait to see the rest of them. Highly recommend for any photography need!

I can not say enough nice things about Yelena and Vlad. They were so amazing to work with and went above and beyond with us. I only met with them and fell in love with not only their work but who they are as people. They are amazing and I highly recommend them.

Yelena and Vlad are both very talented photographers. They partnered so well with us to create our vision for an outdoor, somewhat non-traditional, boho-y wedding. They were so fun to work with and captured such beautiful moments from our special day. We would recommend them to anyone!

Thanks to Yelena and Vlad, we had one of the best days of our lives. We could not be more pleased with how Yelena Tsioma Photography made this event a magical experience for us newlyweds and our guests. They are very professional, experienced, and accommodating when photographing the best wedding ever. They guided us every step of the way when it came to photos during the big day and the photos turned out spectacular. We could not have done it without them and for that we are very thankful. Keep up the great work Yelena and Vlad. Thanks again for everything!

Ahh, where do I begin?! Yelena and Vlad are two very amazing humans. They made our wedding day photography something to enjoy not stress about. They are professional, talented, and love what they do. And our pictures show that. We couldn’t be more happy with our pictures, and the album. Will definitely recommend them to our friends and family.

We loved working with Yelena and Vlad. They did a great job getting all the traditional wedding photos as well as some creative and fun shots we would never have thought of doing! We've gotten endless compliments on our wedding photos. Can't recommend them enough!

Yelena and Vlad are AMAZING at what they do. They made my husband and I so comfortable in front of the camera. We had so much fun taking pictures throughout our elopement. Our pictures are better than we could have imagined! Thank you Yelena and Vlad!

Yelena and Vlad are an amazing couple to work with. They made it very convenient for us to meet and discuss what we wanted for our wedding even though it was in the middle of a global pandemic which I truly appreciated it. Their photo quality is fabulous and they really take the time to get the best pictures and make it fun. It was also great to have both angles of photos since there were two of them taking pictures. They captured all of the special moments we could have hoped for our wedding day. I appreciated their enthusiasm at trying to get photos of us with smoke bombs in pumpkins and capturing all of our guests dancing in their halloween costumes. I would recommend Yelena and Vlad for any type of photography you need.

I would highly recommend Yelena Tsioma Photography! We just took our engagement photos with Yelena and Vlad and had such a positive experience. They met with us before hand to understand what we wanted out of the photos and when we began the shoot it was clear they had listened to every word. We decided to take photos in Stanley and they picked the most breathtaking locations, and put the time in to make sure our photos were exactly what we wanted. They were also so much fun to work with! Yelena and Vlad are a creative power couple who have the most incredible visions and ideas for photos which showed in our final album. My fiance and I were pretty nervous to take photos, but they made sure we could losen up and have fun with it as they made us feel so comfortable. The quality we received was honestly so beyond my expectations I cannot wait to hang up our photos and of course for them to photograph our wedding. These will be photos we cherish for many years to come.

We can not say enough amazing things about Yelena and her husband. From the first consultation to the final shot, they were professional and we felt that they really listened to who we were as a couple and what our vision was for our big day. Their eye for beautiful photos is definitely 5 star! We are an adventurous couple and wanted our photos to reflect that and step out of the box a little bit and they are truly breathtaking. We will be using then again for future family photos and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Hiring Yelena and Vlad was the best decision I made! My family and friends all commented on how amazing and hardworking my photographers were. I have the most beautiful photos, everything that I hoped my wedding photos would be! We were even featured in a blog from my wedding dress designer: https://eddyk.com/eddy-k-bride-cassandra-in-dreams-style-sloan/ :) Opting for the package with the wedding album is SO worth it, we have the most beautiful album of memories. Hire them!

Yelena is a wonderful photographer. The session was perfect and she made it fun and effortless. It was exactly what I had wanted and so much more. My husband and I are both thrilled with the results and would 150% use her again!!

Yelena and Vlad were amazing to work with. They have a creative eye for capturing the perfect moments with fun ideas for different shots (like Milky Way photos!). They were very professional, great pricing, and you get the bonus of having two photographers which made it great to capture both wedding parties. Would definitely recommend!

We are beyond happy with the services provided by Yelena and Vlad. From engagement photos to the wedding, everything was perfect, well planned out, and they made it easy and fun! Neither myself nor my husband care much to pose for photos, but the creativity and energy of these two made it a breeze. We adore our photos and they’re truly unique and gorgeous. Our package was incredibly inclusive as well, we feel like we got a fantastic deal considering the quality of their work. Many’s photographers give you pretty standard, predictable, replicable photos. Not these guys! Hire them!!!

Yelena and Vlad are truly talented photographers. They ensured our day went by seamlessly and their attention to detail is wonderful. They are two amazing people and were so easy to work with. Their ideas are so creative too! We seriously could not have asked for better people to work and share our special day with! We also purchased a photo album from them-soooo worth it! EVERYTHING was worth it. I cannot express my gratitude enough and highly recommend them (:

Yelena and Vlad provided the most extraordinary experience!! Every single member of my husband and my families raved about how much they enjoyed them both (we had a very small wedding where Yelena and Vlad actually stayed in the same lodge as us) and how they could not believe the care and creativity they both put into our photos. The photos are just absolutely amazing!!! (And this is coming from a gal that is notorious for hating photos of herself - and I am quite literally obsessed - truly can’t stop looking at them!!!) They both also made the experience so comforting and calming, I am not exactly comfortable being on the spot with attention on me - they both have a gift and have clearly found their calling. We can only hope they enjoyed the experience as much as we did. :) In my opinion, you simply cannot go wrong with them!!!

Yelena and Vlad spent a lot of time working with my fiancé and I to give us just the photos we were hoping for. They were very professional and attentive.

We used Yelena and her husband as our wedding photographers and we had such a great experience working with them. They worked with us and adjusted the original plans when Covid-19 majorly changed our wedding plans, and gave us AMAZING photos. We loved working with them both and would highly recommend them.

After looking at many photographers and trying to get in contact with them, Yelena was extremely responsive and easy to meet with. While she has many clients she makes you feel like you are the most important. Not only is she an amazing person to work with, her work is even better! She is the only photographer we are going to be using from here on out. I'm not exaggerating when I say that we will be planning out events around her availability.

Yelena and Vlad were simply incredible to work with! They do amazing work, we’re very good at communicating, offered amazing package options and quickly got our edited photos back to us! I could not have asked for a better experience!

Absolutely adore working with Yelena and Vlad!! Our wedding and trash the dress shoots were a blast, hike and all! The photos are fantastic! Highly recommend working with them. I don't like cameras nor pictures of me really; yet I love their work and they are great at making sure you're comfortable. Yelena was always willing to talk about what we were wanting for our images and work towards our goal.

Yelena (and Vlad) have been a joy to work with. Their personalities and good attitude made our wedding day that much more enjoyable. Yelena's work is phenomenal. We couldn’t be more satisfied with our pictures and wedding album. Our photos turned out to be breathtakingly beautiful and we are looking forward to sharing them with our friends and family! Yelena did a good job listening to us, fulfilling our requests, and was the fastest photographer we’ve encountered to present us with the finished product. We definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for above-average photography.

Yelena and Vlad were so easy and fun to work with! We got so many STUNNING phots and had such a fun time. Our package we purchased included an engagement session but since we skipped this we did photos in our wedding gear the weekend after the wedding and it was such a fun way to relive the day and get some amazing shots of just us in different scenery. Yelena and Val were so flexible and we traveled from Boise to Stanley for the session. Wedding day they were also amazing capturing every moment and we’re there for the entire day which was nice not having any time constraints making the day no stress! Couldn’t recommend them enough and absolutely worth the investment.

Yelena and Vlad are point-blank amazing!! This couple is so dedicated to making your day amazing and made my husband and I so loved on our wedding day. Yelena and Vlad are so lovely to work with and be around. Yelena and Vlad took our engagement pictures, wedding pictures, and they were available to meet multiple times before the big day. I love their creativity and dedication to get the perfect shot! We got a very rare picture with the milkyway and it turned out AMAZING! I cannot wait to work with Yelena and Vlad again when our family grows :) I cannot thank Yelena and Vlad enough. You will be making the best decision to hire Yelena and Vlad for any occasion. I am more than happy with our engagement and wedding pictures and I cannot wait to feature them in our home.

Yelena and Vladimir were absolutely fantastic to work with! If it was possible to give more than 5 stars, I would. They did our engagement and wedding photos, and it was a wonderful experience. They are so fun, creative, laid back, professional and great at communicating! We have some amazing wedding photos we will cherish forever, and our friends and family have all commented on how great our photographers were and how beautiful our pictures are. We are excited to work with them again!

Yelena and her husband took our simple ideas and ran with them until we had our dream photos. They loved every minute of capturing and creating, and made our wedding photo process absolutely delightful. We were left with beautiful memories and gorgeous, flattering pictures! Highly recommend!!!

Personal, courteous, prompt, prepared and professional all describe Yelena and Vlad! They worked to get every shot we hadn’t even though of! We were so glad to have them capture our wedding and would recommend them to friends and family any time!

I'm so happy we chose Yelena Tsioma Photography! They did such a wonderful job and were very patient with us! I love our photos and the album turned out so beautiful. They go out of their way to be sure your photos turn out special and they capture the best moments! P.S. Consider doing a second day shoot, so worth it! :)

How do you capture one of your biggest and special days in your life? Booking with Yelena ans Vlad as our photographers for our wedding was one of the best and easiest decisions of our wedding planning. In fact, when we started planning they were the first ones we got to check off our list. It's really a no brainer. The quality and talent that you get compared to the price is really a steal! Yelena and Vlad truly know how to capture a love story and that's what she did for my husband and I. Not only do you have the choice of photos on a usb drive or cd but you can also get prints and canvas and the most amazing wedding album ever to display and share with family and friends. When we started getting photo teasers, our friends and family commented how great they are. We are saying this because Yelena and Vlad are very good at what they do. They are so responsive and take the time to answer all your questions. When you meet with them, you are open to many wonderful options and are not limited in the style or design that you want. Yelena and Vlad are up to date with the latest trends and photography styles too! Not only are they talented but they are extremely kind, professional and personable! They both have an artists eye and you can see it in their amazing work. Everyone at our wedding mentioned how nice and great they are! We have been married 3 months now and it is truly a treat to look at the photos of our day. They captured every single important moment to perfection. When you book with Yelena and Vlad, you will be so glad you did. So worth it!

Yelena Tsioma Photography is seriously the best! My now husband and I had NO idea where to start with wedding planning except for getting a good photographer. We lucked out with this duo because they were so helpful with their advice and experience and helped us plan a beautiful day. They took the time to get to know us and figure out just what we wanted in our pictures. On the day of the wedding my wardrobe had a slight issue and Yelena came in as the MVP and helped get us back on track. All while still capturing precious moments. They have a wonderful eye for love and capture every moment. The most important thing to me was getting pictures that I could look back on and never get tired of. They gave me that and more!

Yelena and Vlad are the perfect wedding photographer duo. Everything went absolutely swimmingly for both our engagement pictures and our day of photography. I am beyond impressed with the value we received in our price range with these two. They are detail oriented, responsive, professional, and fun! I am also so pleased seeing our pictures and knowing that even as we get old and gray our pictures will stand the test of time. They are edited and captured in a classic, clear style that really makes each picture all about the moment. You won't regret booking them for your big day.

I can't say enough good things about Yelena and Vlad. They took our engagement photos and wedding photos. They were the most professional wedding vendors we worked with by far. They are very good at what they do and we are in love with all of our pictures. Any questions we had were answered right away and we were always kept in the loop. The two of them are the kindest and most respectful people we've ever met. I would recommend them to everyone. Please consider them for your photography needs. They are amazing and you won't be disappointed in their work.

We had the best experience with Yelena and Vladimir! I would recommend them to any of my best friends/family. They were responsive, professional, and so fun to work with! It was evident that they truly love what they do. We never felt rushed or like we were on the clock at all. They helped us feel comfortable and at ease, and had some of the best ideas for shots. Both Yelena and Vladimir take photos so you end up with an excellent selection of pictures. Not only were they amazing to work with the day of our wedding, but they went up to our location a couple of weeks ahead of time to scout it out. Hands down the best experience and value we could have found, and our photos are breathtaking!

Yelena Tsioma was very professional, friendly, and fun to work with. She made us feel comfortable and the pictures turned out amazing!

My pictures were absolutely beautiful. I chose very difficult, low-light, indoor venues, and the work Yelena did was breathtaking. Yelena captured every moment that mattered, which was exactly what I’d hoped for. On top of the exceptional outcome, the process was professional and fun. Yelena and her husband Vlad are fantastic partners who put so much thought and effort into their work. Their packages and contract stipulations are clear and fair – and their pricing is great for the high-quality work they produce. They had scouted every location prior to the big day and knew exactly what would work. They also were open to ideas and found great additional shots on-the-fly. They were tremendously dedicated to making the process as enjoyable as possible, which is very important given the marathon nature of most wedding day picture sessions. Finally, I cannot say enough good things about the way Yelena delivers her work. From the editing of the images, to the ease of the initial digital review process, to the creation of the album, to the beautiful, above-and-beyond way she presents you with the final product, Yelena is exactly what anyone is looking for in a wedding photographer.

Yelena and her husband are an awesome team and the photos turned out incredible!! I couldn’t be happier!

Yelena and her husband, Vlad, were amazing photographers! Not only were the 1,000+ pictures of my wedding beautiful, but their customer service was the best I have ever had. They were always happy to meet me in person, multiple times before and after the wedding. They were always on time and never put a time frame on a meeting that we had. They made sure all of my questions were answered and that I felt great when leaving a meeting. You know how anxious a bride can be!! They were always so friendly. What I also loved about their photographing at my wedding was that guests didn't even notice them taking photos during the ceremony! Yet, they got such amazing photos of the ceremony, but were so quiet. They were never a distraction to guests during the ceremony or reception. They also made my husband and I feel really comfortable during our engagement photo shoot because we both felt so awkward since we had never done any sort of photo shoot before. They made us feel at ease. And their turn around period for engagement photos and wedding photos was SO FAST! Seriously, I wish I could rate them MORE than just 5 stars... Amazing people, amazing price, they are the best in the Treasure Valley! Thank you Yelena and Vlad!!

Professional, flexible, and congenial. I cannot thank Yelena and her husband enough— they make a great team

Yelena and Vladimir are absolutely incredible! They were so easy to work with, very laid back, fun and professional! We asked them to shoot our wedding in Oregon and they arrived early the day of the wedding, prepared and ready to go and caught every moment and more! Before the wedding day they told us what to expect with the event timeline and asked what we are looking for- if we wanted any specific shots done and whatnot, they helped us create a photo timeline so we can get group photos done in a quick and timely manner. They stayed true to their contract and we had picture proofs on time without delay. We loved them so much and cannot wait to work with them again soon, definitely recommend them and will be booking again soon! :)

Wow! Yelena and Vlad are AWESOME! These two were so great, I don't even know what to say! First off - their work is fantastic. They're able to create beautiful, artistic photographs as well as traditional wedding photos for your parents. We desperately wanted to go outside for our wedding, but it ended up rain/snowing all day long. They helped us make the most of the situation, and we ended up with some absolutely beautiful shots that couldn't have happened if the weather was perfect. These two have wonderful, fun, caring personalities. When it started snowing during our photo shoot, Yelena immediately gave me her coat off her back, then Vlad gave his to Yelena. It was so sweet, and these two really work hard to give you the best wedding photos possible. I know that I'll be hiring them again in the future for various photo shoots. Yelena also helped me do a tasteful boudoir shoot a few months before the wedding, and kept it a secret from my groom the entire time. It was so fun! I highly recommend the boudoir shoot - it's a huge confidence boost and makes a great wedding gift for your husband.

Where do I even begin? Yelena and Vladimir are an amazing photography couple. It's fitting that a husband and wife would photograph a wedding together! They were far more affordable than all the other photographers in our city, and even with the travel fee for them to come to Pocatello they were more affordable, offered more hours of photography and more edited photos, and they had two photographers working the wedding instead of one. Having two shooters is invaluable. You get different angles, they can simultaneously capture precious moments happening in two different places (how often do you see a sweet moment happening behind the solo photographer's back? Not the case when you have two people! I am so grateful). Plus it saves so much time on the big day to have two shooters. Vladimir took care of the guys' getting ready photos, Yelena was with us ladies getting photos at the same time. When it comes to group shots, one will arrange you or hold the flash and the other takes the picture. They get the perfect lighting because one can hold the flash at the perfect angle and distance while the other snaps the picture. We even got a few incredible aerial shots because Yelena saw a perfect lighting opportunity and hopped up on Vladimir's shoulders to capture a tender moment. They are so dedicated to their work and getting those perfect photographs! The photos are still being edited, but they did release a few for us to see on Facebook. Everyone is telling us it looks like a magazine wedding--the colors are so vibrant, the people so beautiful, the lighting so spot on, and the artistic angles make you swoon. We never felt rushed to get all our photos taken because they offer many more hours of photography than the competition, and they're so knowledgeable that they know how to fluidly move you from one pose to the next, snapping candid shots along the way. Yet they never overwhelm you. Their creativity is astounding--you wouldn't even think to ask for some of the gorgeous photos these two will take. Those artistic photos are my very favorites so far. Yelena and Vladimir are very easy to get along with (my husband doesn't like taking pictures, but they had him laughing!). They were so willing to answer my many emailed questions, usually giving me more advice or information that answered questions I didn’t even know I had! From the very first meeting I knew I would be comfortable with them. I even had Yelena do a boudoir shoot for me (just her of course; Vlad brought in lighting equipment and then waited in the car until we finished). She helped me pose every hand gesture and point my toes just perfectly to make me look my very best. I felt beautiful, and she would coach me on what angle to turn my shoulders for example, and as soon as I got it she would say, "Perfect, you are gorgeous!" as she snapped a few different photos. I'd never done a boudoir before, but she is the right photographer for the job if you are considering it! She is very comfortable with it, which helps you relax and enjoy the experience! I loved it—it was fun! And again, she is so creative. I cannot wait for my husband to see! Our photos are stunning, Yelena and Vladimir were more talented and amazing than I could ever have dreamed of, and the hardest part about the whole thing will be choosing which of the hundreds of perfect pictures to print and hang on the walls. I didn't have to think of a thing, they were just there, capturing every moment for us to treasure.

Yelena is the best photographer in the treasure valley with very reasonable prices. I have been in several weddings where she was the photographer and had her do my own engagement and wedding photos. She is so sweet, professional, and does amazing work!
