I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge how amazing Yulia was. We were so happy (& pleasantly surprised) to see the results from our photo shoot. It easily surpassed our expectations and I would highly, highly recommend Yulia. It was a great e...
xperience, a great set of photos and all while being treated very professionally. We would very much recommend Yulia to anyone needing a photographer with an amazing eye!
I've had the pleasure of working with Yuiya multiple times: as a fellow wedding vendor, and as a client being photographed, and I can easily say that Yuliya is among the very best! Her talent speaks for itself; not only are her photos gorgeous,...
but she is also very easy to work with. She was so positive, upbeat and friendly the whole time she took pictures of me for my business, and she's the same way when I work weddings with her; she always has a smile on her face, which makes working with her so enjoyable. I will say it again: Yuliya is among the very best in the business.
Yuliya guides her clients throughout the shoot to help them look their very best. She captures the moment in a natural and un-forced way, but also notices the small details that throw a picture off and will gently fine tune your posture, have y...
ou turn slightly to capture a more flattering angle, or straighten displaced clothing or accessories in order to ensure there are no awkward moments and make the most of each shot.
A special touch that Yuliya provides is her keen attention to helping to bringing out the best in each photo. Unless you are a trained model, it can be uncomfortable to pose or act natural in front of a camera. Where many photographers will simply "capture the real moment", Yuliya wants to capture that real moment in a beautiful way and ensure that you are happy with your photos and the way you look. She approaches the shoot in a relaxed way that helps you feel calm, and yet at the same time, is attentive to helping you fix little details like hand placement or posture so that your pictures are flattering and show you at your best.
Amazing photographer!! Yuliya did our pre wedding photoshoot and the result was amazing!!! She is super talented and extremely passionate about her work!! She truly wanted to take the best shots for us and this was reflected in each of our pict...
ures!! Thank you Yuliya!! Can’t wait to work with you again in the future!!’

You guys are so sweet! Loved loved working with you, Your wedding day in Lebanon looked like a dream
I feel so lucky that Yulia was our photographer at our wedding. Yulia is the best of the best and her work is just so stunning that brings elegant and unique approach to all her photos. Literally when we received the photos we were like "wow". ...
My husband doesn't like take any pictures and he always says that he is not photogenic and not looking good at any pictures, Yulia was giving him a good advice how to stand, how to hold, which direction to look that helped a lot to look natural in the pictures, and directed him all way during the shooting. My husband never met Yulia before and told me right at the wedding "Wow she is amazing!" There is a saying it's not just about the camera but it's all about the eye and how you see pictures thru your eyes. It's totally about Yulia!! Yulia has an amazing eye how to take pictures and from which angle that they would look unique and different. You can see from the first step when she walks in that she loves what she does. Yulia perfectly directed guests and family for pictures. I feel if it's not her work we would not have family shots or any pictures with guests. Being as a bride everything was going so fast that I could not think of any details during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Yulia is totally professional that had a great communication with all guests, including friends and family members, and making sure she could capture these candid moments in the pictures. Besides being a great photographer she is beautiful inside and outside. When I first met Yulia a couple months before the wedding, we literally spent hours just talking and I felt like we've known each other forever. Yulia has a sweet personality that is easy to work with her. The pictures came out just stunning. For a quite short period of time she was able to capture all kind of different portraits in different locations and we are greatful forever that Yulia delivered the timeless memories at the biggest day of our lives. We highly recommend Yulia to anyone for timeless photos, it can be either wedding or engagement or just portrait pictures. Thank you Yulia for everything!

Elena, it was truly a pleasure to have met you in this wedding planning process!!! I feel like we were meant to meet. I'm happy to have finally met Andrew at the wedding, it was truly a special one!
Yuliyah is the sweetest and she is so personable! We did a family portrait session, and we are so thankful for her patience, kindness, and compassion. We love the light and love she captured in each image! So grateful!
Response from the Vendor on 09/27/2019
Thank you so much Aidah, cannot wait to do more photo shoots in the future
Yuliya is so incredibly talented, kind and professional! We were lucky enough to have her as our photographer at our 20 year vow renewal in Napa Valley. People that could not attend our event later saw our pictures and said they felt like they...
could experience our immense joy and love from the day! Everything about how Yuliya interacts as a photographer is outstanding. She provides gentle guidance when needed while quietly capturing pure magic from the day. She captures the essence in a way I've never experienced before and we truly feel blessed we met and hired Yuliya.
Response from the Vendor on 09/27/2019
Renee! It was so special to do your twenty year vow renewal, what an honor and your BHLD dress was stunning
Yuliya is top notch when it comes to not just quality photos, but capturing the emotion of the moments. We were so moved by her photos and feel grateful for her work!
Response from the Vendor on 09/27/2019
Thank you so much for your sweet review! I loved your New Years Eve wedding, so colorful and lovely!
My husband and I planned our wedding long distance, and we were anxious to find vendors who would make the process as easy as possible for us on top of producing quality work. Yuliya is professional, helpful, kind, and feels like a friend from ...
the second you begin talking to her. Not only did she shoot our wedding beautifully, but she shot our engagement photos in our hometown of Chicago while she was there on a personal trip. She is the best and you will not be disappointed.
Response from the Vendor on 02/20/2019
Dianne, I loved working with you guys! Chicago with you two was so much fun!
We did our engagement photoshoot with Yuliya, and we couldn't be happier that we found her! She is a true professional, and was very available and helpful in planning our engagement shoot, offering her expertise in choosing the right location, ...
makeup and outfits. When we finally met, she was incredibly personable, and my fiancé and I both felt so comfortable around her. She is truly an artist, and her passion, skill and vision show in each of her photographs. Our photos are STUNNING. We are so in love with them and with Yuliya! We can't recommend her enough!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/20/2019
Shilpa! I loved meeting you and your fiance on your trip from NYC! Cannot wait for more adventures together, you truly are special people!
My husband and I are in agreement that Yuliya was THE BEST of our wedding vendors and her work is unparalleled to all other photographers we've ever experienced.
Yuliya went above and beyond to deliver us not only amazing photos to last a life...
time, but incredibly personalized service. I felt like we instantly connected the first time we spoke on the phone. Our engagement shoot was so easy. My husband is not very photogenic but Yuliya gave him good direction and advice that he looks like a natural in all our pictures. When it came to our wedding she was on top of it with a thorough photo timeline and shot list. She was able to fit in all the shots I had asked for with even some time to spare so we could enjoy our cocktail hour. We got our wedding photos back a few months later and we were amazed. There were so many beautiful photos, it was so hard to narrow down and choose our favorites. My family and friends are STILL talking about how stunning her photos are!
Yuliya has an amazing eye and is talented in both posed portraits and also capturing candid moments. On top of that, she is a genuinely sweet person. We both appreciated the touch of kindness with all her hand written notes and little gifts she would send. Those little details make a big difference in building a trusting relationship and it does not go unnoticed. It was a truly an honor to have Yuliya photograph the biggest day of our lives and we highly recommend her.
Response from the Vendor on 03/12/2019
Veronica! Thank you for the sweetest review and the loveliest of weddings. I enjoyed spending time with your family and cannot wait to work on your wedding album.
Yulia is a wonderful photographer that we would not hesitate to recommend to any one.
My wife and I were initially very worried about our wedding photos and how they'd turn out as we are both not the most comfortable in front of a camera. Unti...
l we met Yulia. She made us so comfortable and was the most perfect photographer. She managed to capture the perfect amount of staged and candid photos and even included some very funny ones that sum up our relationship perfectly.
The only problem we have encountered is trying to choose our favourites, because there are just so many amazing shots.
Thank you so much Yulia! You captured our day perfectly

Thank you so much for such a sweet review! Loved working with you guys, so excited you could create a perfect destination wedding, while planning from Florida!

d things in our surroundings we couldn't control like a construction crane and you can't even tell in our photos. Yuliya has gone above and beyond - with our pictures and being personal throughout the entire process. Our friends loved our photos! Can't wait to be working with her on our wedding day.
Response from the Vendor on 11/05/2018
How wonderful to hear! Cannot wait to be a part of your wedding next year!
Yuliya is the best! The first time you contact her you'll a quick reply so you don't have to wait a long time to hear back. She's super open and transparent about her services, so you know everything in advance prior to booking her.
When my fi...
ance and I got our engagement photos done, Yuliya was amazing! She was super flexible and let choose two locations to take photos and allowed us to do a quick clothing change in between each location. While taking our photos, she helped us with posing and made sure she had a great shot by waiting for pedestrians to pass by.
She also delivered out final photos to us within one month! They were absolutely stunning and beautiful.
I couldn't have been more pleased! I highly recommend Yuliya as a photographer and I can't wait to work with her again on my wedding day.
Response from the Vendor on 11/05/2018
Your words mean so much! Really looking forward to your gorgeous museum wedding next year!
I rarely write wedding vendor reviews but compelled to write about Yuliya Jul unique ability to freeze a moment in time and capture an expression that tells the whole story. Yuliya’s style is clean, well-edited, romantic, and timeless. Her love...
of traveling, learning, and exploring can be seen in her work.
The moment I met Yuliya, I was drawn at her ability to connect instantly with each person. Besides being young, beautiful, and intriguing, her warmth is genuine and energy infectious.
As a planner, the most important traits when considering a photographer besides talent is their ability to capture each moment without being obtrusive. Yuliya is a master at both.
Response from the Vendor on 11/05/2018
Thank you for your words! I love working with wedding planners who truly love serving their clients. Cannot wait for next year together!
First off... Wow! Best decision we ever made was booking Yulia to capture our wedding.
From the very first interaction through the knot, Yulia was one of the first to respond to my request for a quote. When you first speak with Yulia right aw...
ay you will see how authentic and genuinely good she is. You can tell she is passionate about her work and she enjoys her job. It plays a big factor in the results of your photos!
Book her right now based on her work alone. It's flawless. Clear. Beautiful. It seems simple and effortless but this is all Yulia and her technique. She is a true artist. She is a professional. And you wont find anyone better.
But what has made me want to write this review goes beyond her work. It's her passion and ability to go above and beyond. As a Bride I was extremely nervous right before the wedding. She was able to make me laugh. Keep me calm. Give me clear directions that seemed silly at the time buy helped produce the best pictures! She knew what to say how to say it and how to move my arm in place to give me the best possible figure! She even would cue me on when to take a breath.
I can't stop looking at these photos!
At one point half way through the family pictures I got really over taking pictures and I was becoming a bridezilla. I was getting anxious about joining our guests. Yulia kept her calm. She was patient with me and kept going. Because she knew id look back and want these photos. She was right.
Thank you Yulia for knowing me better than I knew myself the day of. For capturing the most precious moments. For making me feel beautiful and making us relive the best day of our lives!
I hope we can continue to use Yulias services for future life events! We are eternally grateful!

It was our first time getting professional photos taken and we didn’t know what to expect, but Yuliya walked us through what to do, made us comfortable behind the camera, and made the whole experience as pleasant as it could be. Not only was she professional, but she was also respectful of our budget. I would 100% recommend her and would book her again in a heartbeat!
Yuliya was great to work with: extremely friendly, professional, timely, and generally fun to be around. My Fiance and I really enjoyed our engagement photo shoot we had with her. On top of that, the photos turned out amazing. Yuliya has an ...

I just wish I could hire her over and over just for the pleasure of working with her again. I can't recommend her enthusiastically enough.

nized and easy to book, pay, plan with etc. her business is a well oiled machine! She got the photos back to us in a timely matter as promised. Only draw back could be the price, she runs on a higher end depending on where you're located, but if that's not a deterrence for you and you like her style of photography, then don't hesitate to book her, everything else runs smoothly! Thanks Yulya!

ely that we wanted her as our photographer from the first day we spoke with her; she was incredibly sweet, professional and was just as enthusiastic about our wedding as we were. When my husband and I wanted to do a little excursion for our engagement photos, Yuliya was totally up for the challenge! We went on this crazy hike to a beach, took us almost 3 hours total, and Yuliya never complained. Our engagement photos and wedding day photos were exactly what we were looking for and were ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! You will honestly not regret choosing her as your wedding photographer. She makes taking photos so much fun!

Your August wedding was one of my favorites despite the heat! Thank you guys for being so amazing to work with! Hope you're enjoying your new apartment outside the city!
This review is long overdue... Mainly because I never know where to begin when trying to describe Yuliya and her gorgeous photos!
I could tell after our first phone call that she would just "get" us and our aesthetic. We were both looking for ...
more of a documentary style photographer, and since my husband and I come from different cultural backgrounds, we immediately connected with Yuliya's European influence and vision. From our fabulous engagement shoot here in SF where she froze to death trying to capture the perfect shot (which she of course nailed), to our wedding chaos and fun in Sonoma, Yuliya was right there helping me and giving me bridal tips every step of the way. Whether it was for makeup (thank you Christina Choi!), dress, hair, veil or.... she was always 2 steps ahead of it all, advising and adjusting. I also love that my family and friends keep asking whenever coming across pictures : "wait where was she when these photos were taken I never even noticed her" ha! She was just so quick, discrete and moved around guests with such grace the entire day and evening. Yuliya's energy level is uncanny! As a true professional, Yuliya always replied to all of my questions and emails promptly. What else can I say?
Merci infiniment Yuliya, bisous.

Yuliya did an absolutely amazing job photographing our wedding! She was so fun and easy to get along with, and she made us feel comfortable being in front of the camera. The photos she took are stunning and every moment of the day was captured ...

Thank you so much Marina! Your day was a wine country wedding dream. Cannot wait to visit you two in Seattle!

Response from the Vendor on 10/23/2017
Thank you guys for your sweet review! It means the world to be entrusted with your wedding photos!
I'm not one to write reviews. But Yuliya is someone worth raving about. Initially I chose Yuliya to be my wedding photographer because when I interviewed her, she had a positive attitude, willing to work within my budget, and respected the wedd...
ing timeline. She is very professional and organized which made me feel very comfortable in choosing her. More importantly her portfolio isn't like anything i have seen. She creates amazing artistic work that makes everyone in the picture look amazing. She captures the elegance and life of the wedding without making the pictures appear cheesy. The day of the wedding she was organized and on time. She was so professional with me and my family. She goes with the flow and is so happy. What I love about her is that she goes above and beyond a photographer. (i.e. she helped button the many buttons on back of my dress, she was a great ear when I needed to vent a little lol). Lastly, she captured AMAZING photographs of the wedding. My guests keep saying that my photographs look like they come out of a magazine. Yulyia is one of the BEST hires for my wedding. Hands down. (PS: she also came with an assistant, Amy - who is seriously the best as well.) Yulyia is 10 stars to me
Response from the Vendor on 10/23/2017
Nadine! Thank you for your sweet words. You New York style city wedding was perfection! Thank you for entrusting me and my team to make your day even more special!
We just had our destination wedding in the wine country and Yuliya was our wedding photographer. Now let me tell you a bit about Yuliya:
Yuliya was simply WOW!!! From to moment we first contacted her to the moment we finally got to meet her, ...
Yuliya was such a blessing to work with. She is full of energy, professionalism and FUN! Her photos of our special day are just perfect: The way she captured the raw emotional moments and the natural light with her artistic skills are incredible.
Many of our friends and family are still in awe of our wedding pictures and constantly ask us to share more with them. Thank you Yuliya for helping us capturing every minute of our special day with such beauty and real talent.
If you are in need of an amazing wedding photographer who knows how to collect moments and memories for you through the best artistic lenses, Yuliya is YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER!!!

d is so mindful of the details so you don't have to worry. Yuliya is gifted and has an eye for capturing the most beautiful moments.
Everyone told me that your photographer is the best investment you can make when it comes to your wedding – they are so right! After the whirlwind has passed, all you have to look forward to to re-live that special day you worked so hard to cre...
ate for you and your spouse are your photos and video. I’m so glad I chose Yuliya to be our photographer. Her photos look like they’re straight out of a bridal magazine or blog. I had a certain vision of how my photos would turn out, and that vision became reality! I LOVE our photos and could not be happier with them!
My husband and I are not naturals when it comes to taking photos – we needed guidance, and Yuliya does a great job directing you, but not in an overbearing way. She also photographed our engagement session, which helped us figure out what angles we liked and didn’t like. We provided the feedback to Yuliya (which she will encourage you to do b/c she wants you to love your photos), and she really took the time to listen, understand what we wanted, and made the appropriate modifications for the Big Day.
She is super sweet and her assistants are just as nice and helpful. We’ve gotten so many compliments on the photos, and we will treasure them for years to come. Thank you, Yuliya!!
Yuliya is absolutely amazing!! Firstly, she is so sweet and makes you feel extremely comfortable while she takes pictures. Secondly, she is so talented and her pictures are incredible! We did an engagement type session before our wedding in dow...
ntown SF on some busy streets and the pictures turned out beautiful almost like we were the only people around! When I booked her for our wedding she stayed in contact with us throughout the process and answered any questions I had. When it came to our wedding, she was both professional and personable with our families and bridal party and was able to improvise when the weather conditions weren't quite up to par for capturing the background I wanted. Also when we got so caught up and sometimes overwhelmed in the wedding the day of, she was like our saving grace to remind us when a good time for certain pictures would be such as sunset pictures. I will definitely be using Yuliya for future shoots!

Your review made my day! You and Steven were so fun to work with. I loved exploring downtown SF with you and especially the romantic sunset on your wedding day . . . full of lovely details and gorgeous backdrops. Thank you my movie stars for be...
ing so fabulous!
Yuliya was great. We loved her engagement pictures so much that we decided to have them play on a slideshow during our reception.
The wedding pictures were great, as expected. My wife was very particular when choosing our photographer, but Yu...
liya certainly did not disappoint.
Choosing Yuliya was definitely one of the best decisions of wedding planning.
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2017
Jack! It was such a pleasure working with you guys. Will never forget the tea ceremony and our golf cart rides around the property.
Yuliya was amazing! She was the best photographer we could have asked for, hands down. Not only did she put us both at ease, but group shots were super smooth and efficient. We even got all the guys to smile! ;P Of course, all the pictures wer...
e amazing, but I might have to say that the sunset pictures that we snuck out to take were just breath taking.
Through out the course of day Yuliya just continued to bring so much enthusiasm to capture our wedding.
We can't thank her enough!
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2017
Thank you lovely for the sweet review. Next time you decide to go to Paris, please take me with you for your anniversary shoot ;) Stay fabulous.
Yuliya did a fantastic job with our engagement shoot! The photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. I was particularly impressed with Yuliya's willingness to go above and beyond to get the perfect shot. We walked through all ty...
pes of terrain -- sand, rocks, hills, tall grass, waves -- and Yuliya was cheerful the whole time. The end result was incredible. Our photos are epic, dreamy, and timeless. Thank you Yuliya for far exceeding our expectations!
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2017
You guys were a gem to work with and your red dress will be one of my favorites, it flowed perfectly amidst the California sunset. Epic shoots like yours are my favorite!
Wow. I cannot say enough great things about Yuliya. She did an incredible job photographing our wedding. She was extremely on top of making sure we got all of the pictures we wanted and truly followed through. Above all, she made us feel so com...
fortable, making our pictures very natural and absolutely flawless. I would recommend her to anyone and truly feel grateful to have had her be apart of our special day!
Response from the Vendor on 07/17/2017
Chelsea, it was such an honor to serve you and your husband on your wedding day! Thank you for including me in your special day.
Yuliya is an absolutely wonderful sweetheart! We are so blessed and thankful to have her to be our wedding photographer. During our initial meeting at a coffee shop, she was very warm, calm and welcoming and made us feel so comfortable. Her ene...
rgy and cheerful spirit was perfect for a rush and stressed couple, who were having a wedding in less than a month! She is very organized, professional and nice to chat with. She took time to get to know us and learn what was important to us. Then we went through the timeline together, and when she knew that I was still looking for a makeup artist, she immediately found me one from her team! She also brought with her sister, Dina - an amazing calligrapher, whose work I admire greatly - I wish I knew her earlier so I would have asked her to help with our wedding programs! We both think that Yuliya was just what we needed and had made things so much easier!
On the day of the wedding, Yuliya arrived early at our hotel and even had checked out our wedding venue prior to look for a potential spot for our bridal party shoot. The majority of our bridal party, my husband and I were never professionally photographed before, so we were not good at posing, but Yuliya made us laughed in minutes and brought us a joyous and comfortable experience. Not only my husband and I, but our bridal party and our guests loved her!
When we received the pictures, we were absolutely blown away by the quality. She took the best candid shots, which we are very much in love. She has a great eye for lighting and picked the right angles that captures the people and surroundings perfectly.
Thank you again Yuliya for all your hard work and for capturing the magic moments in our lives! We must say that the photo shoot has been the most memorable moment we had in our wedding!! We look forward to working with you again in the future!!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/17/2017
Vivian, thank you thank you for your kind words! You made my job so enjoyable and your entire bridal party was so fun to work with.
Yuliya is the absolute best!! Not only are her pictures incredible, but she is such a nice and easy person to work with. I really enjoyed having her as my photographer on my wedding day. She took all the necessary photos and then stepped bac...
k took amazing candid photos during the ceremony and reception. On top of that, she got all my photos back to me so quickly! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Caroline, thank you for having me at your gorgeous Chalkhill estate wedding! Many blessings to you guys on your marriage.
Very professional, sweet person, and talented. You won't regret working with Yuliya, she's a gem. She captured our engagement pictures and wedding pictures beautifully.
Yuliya is simply amazing!!! We had the most amazing experience with her on our engagement photo shoot! She is so easy to work with, she made it so comfortable and fun and at the end we were amazed at the photos we got!!! They were breathtaking ...
and she captured every moment so beautifully! She was able to capture the sweetest moments that we will always treasure! We loved having Yuliya as our photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone!
We recently moved to California and wanted our engagement session to also show our family and friends where we live. When my fiance and I saw Yuli's work, we both fell in love with the quality of her photos. She exceeded our expectations - ...
our pictures turned out phenomenal. Thanks again!
What can I say about Yuliya than she was the perfect photographer for us to capture our special day in last April in Rutherford. Wedding planning is stressful and Yuliya always knew just when to check in with a sweet note to calm my nerves. I...
can say that working with Yuliya really was more personal and truly felt like working with a great friend. From the very moment of meeting her my husband and I knew that there was just something so calming about her.
Honestly, Yuliya had her work cut out for her. For one, I am not the most comfortable in front of the camera. But despite that, she was able to catch the sweet honest moments between my husband and that was really special and turned out so well. We were blown away with the photos she was able to capture both for our engagement shoot and our wedding.
Another challenge during our wedding was weather. They say that rain is good luck, right? We didn't need luck because Yuliya was able to work around any situation and photos turned out just beautifully.
I definitely recommend Yuliya not only because she is professional, easy to communicate with, able to interpret your vision, and work that is beautiful, but because she is someone you will want to capture to most special moments in your life.

Julie, it was such an honor to be a part of your hollywood wedding! You guys looked amazing and made me feel like part of the family. I loved roaming the streets of San Francisco with you for your engagement photos and then exploring the rollin...
g hills of Napa with you on your wedding day!
Yuliya is amazing!! Since the first time we met her in a café in San Francisco, speaking to her on the phone, engagement shoots, wedding photos, it has been non-stop joy to have her as our photographer. My wife does not like to have her photo...
taken and becomes nervous when a camera is pointed her way, yet with the direction and her bubbly personality, Yuliya made her feel at ease at all time. It was as if my wife really wanted to be in front of a camera, which is rare because she’s a selfie hater. Her directions were easy and she works well with each couple. We felt comfortable and the engagement photos turned out great! Our photos didn’t looked rehearsed, but very natural and in the moment. She captured real passionate moments at our second location on the cliffs. During the wedding, I didn’t even know she was there, which was great because during the day I felt like we could have easily gotten distracted by the little details. The fact that I was never distracted by her presence speaks well of her. It was like she was a ninja and I had to turn my head to see if she was even there. Yet when we saw the results/photos of the wedding, we were blown away at how well the photos turned out. They say that a photo is worth a thousand words, and with all our great photos, I’d be a multi-millionaire with words. Her customer service skills are excellent and beyond compare. We had a few suggestions on which type of photos we liked, and what we wanted and she accommodated our requests with such ease. If I had to rate her customer service skills, I’d say it was like the Ritz Carlton in Hawaii along the beach during a sunset with a glass of wine, salami, caviar, brie cheese w/ sourdough bread! Just perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 07/17/2017
Bart, you guys were amazing to work with! Thank you for your kind words and the Ritz Carlton analogy, now you make me want to go visit. Thank you again.
Yuliya is an excellent photographer and I'd definitely recommend her. Both Yuliya and Vitaliy (her second shooter) had a great sense of humor and made everyone feel at ease. Our photos were filled with laughter and great candid shots. She gave ...
good direction on posing and also requested shot list to make sure to capture all the photos we wanted. She helped guide our wedding day and made sure we stayed on schedule for events as well (which was not her job, but she definitely helped us along!).
After many hours and days of searching for the perfect photographer, we found Yuliya. Immediately after our first conversation, I knew I wanted to book her. She was easy to talk to, genuinely kind and extremely responsive.
Yuliya was very fle...
xible during our engagement session. We went to four different sites and changed multiple times. We both felt completely comfortable and had a great time. Yuliya gave many helpful tips and we met up with her for coffee beforehand.
Everyone at our wedding complimented how great and professional our photographers were. Her second shooter was her friend Vitaliy. We loved working with both of them and our photos came out amazing. I love her attention to detail and quality of her photos. I'd highly recommend her without any reservations.
Response from the Vendor on 07/17/2017
Victoria, you guys were so awesome to work with. Thank you for having me part of your beautiful wedding in Morgan Hill.
Working with Yuliya was amazing. She captured both my engagement and wedding photos more beautifully then I could ever imagine (and I have high expectations!). My grandmother who was wedding photographer for 20+ years was blown away by Yuliya's...
skills at getting the shot without disrupting the moment, and coaxing people in a fun way to enjoy portraits. Yuliya is a pleasure to work with, and I couldn't think of anyone better to trust your special day with! Love her! I am left with memories that have been so beautifully capture it is above and beyond and of the wedding blogs I had been stalking before hand.
We had a mixed race indian wedding. The photos came out amazing. We were super thrilled. The color shots popped and the black and white images were processed with bright whits and deep blacks.
Yuliya was a blessing. She knew exactly what to do and how to make our once in a lifetime day one we would never ever forget. She not only became our photographer but our friend in the process. Her beautiful sweet smile and kind words just make...
s you light up when shes capturing such beautiful moments in your life. Her work is perfect and so precise. She takes the time to make photos you'll never forget. She made our elopement so special and our photos have been the talk of the town thanks to her amazing gift as a photographer. I was so lucky to have found her and she was the only and first photographer I contacted in California. Man did we get lucky, we hit the jackpot with Yuliya. If you're looking for the best photographer in California or even anywhere in the world Yuliya is the greatest.
We had Yuliya visit us in Switzerland and take photos of us in our hometown Basel. This was our second shoot with Yuliya (the first one was in SoCal) and we loved every moment of it!
Yuliya helped us pick out our outfits for the shoot, direct...
ed us into most flattering poses and just made it a really fun experience for us.
Our photos from both shoots that Yuliya did for turned out amazing! She definitely knows how to capture the perfect shot, and on top of that, she's extremely kind and positive, and she'll make you feel like a superstar!
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2016
It was so wonderful to do a shoot for you guys in Europe! Thank you so much for hosting me, I will be frequenting your part of the world from now on. ;)
From the first time I spoke with Yuliya, she was amazing! She is such a thoughtful, caring, kind and beautiful person inside and out that I felt like I had hired one of my friends I had known for years to photograph our wedding. Her calm yet ...
take charge demeanor helped to make the timing of our day flow perfectly while we felt happy and relaxed. Her personality was not all that impressed...when we received our pictures just a short time after the wedding we were blown away! I have received so many compliments on our pictures! We could not be happier to have Yuliya be part of such a special day for us and help to capture every moment of it perfectly.
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2016
Your wedding was so sweet, personal, and intimate, I couldn't have spent that perfect summer day with any other couple! Can't wait to celebrate many more sweet occasions in your lives together with you.
Thirty years from now I'll still remember my wedding as vividly as I do today because of the pictures that help me relive it every time I look at them. Yuliya shot our wedding a few months ago, and to say I was amazed at what she gave us would ...
be an understatement. Yuliya did more than just take pictures; she became a part of the wedding and was able to record it in a way that captured our life in the moment. As a photographer myself, I searched long and hard to find someone who could produce work that I felt confident in, and let me tell you, Yuliya exceeded all those expectations. Yuliya is not only great at what she does, but more importantly she's a wonderful person, and that is a large part of why her pictures turned out so well. She spent a lot of time getting to know my wife and I; what we loved and what was important to us, and that is why she was able to shoot our wedding so well. She knew us as a couple and we knew her as our friend, so she truly captured our magic moments. Yuliya is very easy-going, fun to work with, and was just what my wife and I needed. If you are still searching for a photographer, stop. You have found her and you won’t find any better.

Your destination wedding was flawless! Thank you for having my team serve you!

Response from the Vendor on 03/15/2016
Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to serve you and your team made the wedding a dream!
Yuliya is the best and sweetest photographer ever! My family had used her for our annual family pictures so when I got engaged of course she was the only person I wanted taking my wedding pictures. She always goes above and beyond!! My pictures...
turned out perfectly as I knew they would!! Everyone that sees them says that they are the best wedding pictures they have ever seen and says how magical they look. Yuliya not only takes amazing photos, she captures beautiful moments. I just can't stop looking at my pictures!
Response from the Vendor on 03/30/2016
Thank you for having me serve your family several times! Your wedding was such a perfect blend of sophistication in a forest and beach setting. Would do it all over again!
Yuliya did our maternity and surprise engagement shoot and it was just stunning! It surpassed our expectations by far and we have never received so many compliments on how beautiful the photos are. She made the day very memorable, she's very pl...
easurable to be around, and her talent is unreal! We love her and would absolutely refer her to anyone and everyone we know! You won't be disappointed in the quality of work that you receive. Thank you so much Yuliya!
Response from the Vendor on 03/30/2016
I'm still amazed at how you two survived the cold snow to get your photos done! It was a pleasure serving you guys.
By far one of my most favorite things about my wedding day was having the chance to work with Yuliya! When I was originally looking for a wedding photographer, my friend who works in the wedding industry referred me to Yuliya. When I first cont...
acted Yuliya, she was so accommodating and truly took the time to find out more information about what was important to us for our wedding and engagement photos. She called us and checked in frequently in the months leading up to our wedding and even went to our venue before the wedding to check out the site. During our engagement shoot, she made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera and gave us confidence and direction during the shoot. She spent the extra time during our shoot to make sure the photos that we wanted were captured and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful! During the wedding day, she did an amazing job in directing our large wedding party and families and captured the emotions and special moments of the day. I hardly knew she was in the background taking pictures during the ceremony and reception and she really blended in well while still capturing all the most special details and moments from our wedding. She sent us some wedding photo teasers during our honeymoon and we could not be more excited to see the rest of her amazing work. She truly is amazing at what she does and takes the most natural and beautiful photos. She has a passion for what she does and is very professional. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer and having her as our wedding photographer was one of my greatest decisions we made. She is sweet, caring, and really puts her heart into making you feel special and important on your wedding day. I will most definitely be using her again as our photographer for shoots in the future! Thank you again Yuliya for all your hard work and for capturing such amazing photographs from our wedding!
Yuliya is an incredibly amazing photographer. She went above and beyond on our wedding day. She captured all of the traditional moments, as well as all of the special moments that made our wedding unique. She has a very special gift. Yuliya mad...
e everyone feel so comfortable and we all had so much fun with her. I especially love how she caught so much joy in the guests faces. She captured love and laughter like I could have never imagined. Absolutely beautiful! I can not stress enough how blessed I feel to have Yuliya as our wedding photographer. We love you Yuliya!
Yuliya is a delight to work with! I've enjoyed the pleasure of her photography services over 4 shoots to date (my engagement, my wedding, a stylized themed shoot, and a holiday session), and would not hesitate to have her capture any other futu...
re events! I consider myself to be very picky, not photogenic, and indecisive, which can be a difficult challenge for any photographer --but Yuliya's personable professionalism put me at ease and delivered beautiful results (none to minimal photoshopping needed)! In addition to her meticulous work, she's very thoughtful and goes above and beyond: she remembered my birthday and anniversary date! I also appreciate that she listens intently to my preferences, but is also ready with creative suggestions whenever I ask for her input (enter my indecisiveness!). Plus, she has a beautiful personality and makes working with her so fun!
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2016
Willie, you and your now husband Tim are a dream to work with! I feel so lucky to have met you in this wedding world! Stay fabulous.
Yuliya is hands down, my favorite photographer. From our initial meeting, Yuliya was very warm and welcoming and instantly made me feel comfortable. I have never been professional photographed before, so I felt incredible awkward at first, but ...
she made me feel like the most gorgeous girl around with endless words of encouragement, adjustment of lighting and by picking the perfect scenery. When I received the pictures, I was was absolutely blown away by the quality and even squealed with excitement. Yuliya picked amazing angles that captured the surroundings perfectly and I was in love with every picture.
In addition to being her client, I am also a wedding planner so I have had the chance to work with hundreds of photographers over the years. Yulia's work is completely unique and stands out in the most romantic, soft and stunning way. Her attention to extreme detail is noted in her art and creates a masterpiece-style capture, which is hard to find in most photographers. I HIGHLY reccomend Yuliya to every potential bride, professional or anyone needed a "go-to" photographer. You will NOT be disappointed by her work.
Response from the Vendor on 03/30/2016
It was such a pleasure to photograph you and to create beautiful memories together!
I Looooove Yuliya. I was her second bride she ever photographed!!!! I have trusted her because I new her and would not trust anyone else with my once-in-a-lifetime day! Yuliya is special, to her taking pictures is part of who she is and what sh...
e loves. Her artistic eye for beauty, thoughtfulness toward her clients and professionalism in how to capture precious moments reflects every picture she takes. I remember enjoying all the moments of my wedding without ever grabbing her to take a picture and without seeing if she is even around. She was there all day, she captured every special moment, but I did not notice her at those times. I just saw the pictures after my wedding and all I could say is WOW and thank you Yuliya, you are one special, amazing photographer...... If you are looking for a professional, fun, easy to work with, accommodating, prompt, thoughtful and trustworthy photographer, pick Yuliya!!!
We had such a great time taking pictures on our wedding day. Yuliya made it stress free for us and our group of people, took all the pictures we asked for and at the locations we desired. She was able to capture moments that are so precious to ...
our family and friends. If you are looking for a photographer that is positive and is able to capture you making your story special in it's really: Yuliya is the best choice!!!
Yuliya was and is an incredible photographer! Whenever a friend asks for a recommendation for a photographer I refer them to Yuliya. With her classic yet innovative photographic style, her work never ceases to amaze me.
Yuliya was a true professional. She was responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond what I expected. I was dreading engagement photos because I felt like it was going to be so awkward taking sappy, romantic photos (and I'm not a sappy romant...
ic person), but she immediately put us at ease and had us laughing and enjoying ourselves. We had fun! And it was all because of Yuliya's great personality and attentiveness. The photos turned out absolutely amazing, and everyone comments that our save the dates were some of the best they'd ever seen. Can't wait to book Yuliya again for future photos...she was awesome!
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2016
Thank you for such kind words! You and Tommy were great to photograph and I'm so happy we went to the places that included your dating years, your story is one I'll remember!
Yuliya is a one of a kind person... I have found that whatever she puts her hand to, she excels and flourishes at. Her photography skills are no exception! Yuliya is the kind of photographer that captures an event effortlessly without imposing ...
or even being noticeable. At my wedding, I almost felt like she was invisible, and yet when the photos came back I could see that she had darted around the event capturing all of the perfect moments! Looking through our wedding photos felt like Christmas... We were amazed at Yuliya's talent and her gifted eye behind the lens. There are so many beautiful and timeless shots. The other thing I must tell you about Yuliya is her kind and sweet attitude. She knows how to get things done, she is superior in her field, she makes magic happen on camera, and yet with all of this, she is pure joy to work with. She is about giving you and getting you what you want, and about doing it in the most elegant and peaceful fashion. I really could go on forever, but bottom line is: if you are I even remotely considering Yuliya as your photographer, grab her up... You will never regret it!!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2016
Jodi, I'm so thrilled to have been a part of your special day amidst the sunset-kissed hills of Santa Barbara. I will have to come visit you now across the world, you two are a very special couple!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Yuliya as our engagement & wedding photographer. She was so sweet and worked with our budget! At our first meeting, she made me feel comfortable and I knew she was going to be a great choice. Not...
only is she so sweet, but she was easy to correspond with, she had a great eye for beautiful shots, and the final product was gorgeous! She captured so many precious memories for us! And I was so excited at how soon we got our photographs in the mail! So happy we chose Yuliya! *Bonus, she occasionally sends us cute little personalized wedding things in the mail.* I love it!
Her beautiful pictures speak for themselves, and her lovely personality is the icing on the cake!
Nearly a year after our wedding, I still can't get over how stunning our wedding photos are! Yuliya captured our special day beautifully, and made us feel so comfortable!
Let's face it... Weddings can be stressful! Yuliya's organization and...
professionalism took all my worries away. She masterfully managed my dysfunctional family dynamics in order to capture truly moving family portraits, making a potentially awkward or painful situation (mom and dad can't be in the same photo, this uncle isn't on speaking terms with this person, etc) easy and smooth.
Capturing our unique whimsical and fun style, Yuliya gave us pictures of our big day that definitely represent who we are as a couple. Yuliya's incredible images are displayed on the walls of my home, and every time I look at them, I smile.
If you're looking for a kind, professional, and talented photographer for your big day, check out Yuliya's website. Her work speaks for itself. That being said, I can't gush about her enough! She's the best!
One word says it all, AMAZING !! Yuliya is simply the best and she made our engagement shoot so special.. she is an amazingly talented artist, with such a unique way of capturing even the smallest of things and turning them in stunning photos. ...
She is a beautiful person and made all the planning for the shoot easy and captured our ethnic engagement rituals so beautifully. A truly gifted photographer and just one of the sweetest friends I have. we couldn't have asked for anything more and truly lucky to have her shoot our engagement pics and has left us with a lifetime of memories!!
Yuliya was recommended to me by my cousin. They had their own photography company but I would of gone over budget having them come in from the Bay area. So I asked him for a recommendation and he pointed me in Yuliya's direction. We had a prett...
y big wedding of 250 and a packed schedule. She and her sister were able to get all the shots we wanted... and believe me there was a lot, from the wedding party preparations, wedding details, family portraits.. etc. She's super sweet, wonderful to work with and accommodating.
To anyone looking for a photographer, you must know about Yuliya M. Photography. Not only did she photograph my entire 3 day indian wedding but she also did our engagement photoshoot. She is so kind, patient and most of all, her photos are beau...
tiful.
I would highly recommend her to everyone. Love her, love her, love her! Also, she's practically part of my family now. Random conversations about the wedding always center around Yuliya and how wonderful her photos came out.
Yuliya is the most easy-going professional photographer I have ever met. The whole experience from quote to getting out pictures after the wedding was as pleasant as can be. She really goes out of her way to make your dream event come true. She...
made us feel comfortable at the shoots, we have fun, and received the pictures much sooner than I expected. I always heard people wait a long time for pictures, but Yuliya surprised me with how quick she is. Every time I look at our pictures she took, I can't believe it's us. She makes the fairytale comes to life, from your story to your pictures.
We had to get a photographer within 2 months and thankfully Yuliya was available! She was able to set a time quickly for the first meet to do a little interview of our story and she was very sweet. She was very accommodating with the package ...
and the multiple locations for the photos, ceremony and reception. She has an eye for beautiful shots for amazing photos. She was very creative with what she has to work with and turns out great! The album came few weeks later and it was breath taking!
I absolutely love all my wedding photos! Yuliya captured the details, the emotions, and all our sentimental moments. She is such a sweet person and has a natural way of making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Very professional and e...
fficient with returning all emails, phone calls, and text messages. She mailed us the finished photos within a couple of weeks. I had a few friends ask for her information to have her photograph their weddings!
Yulia you are the most amazing photographer out there. You always made us laugh and feel very comfortable around you. My husband is a very shy man but you always made him laugh. I always and will continue to refer clients to you because I know ...
you will never disappoint. Thank you so much for capturing our special moments!
I first met Yuliya when she photographed my sister's wedding. Being in front of a camera is not the most comfortable thing for me, but she made it so easy and fun! There was no question who I wanted as my photographer when it came time for my...
wedding. I didn't even research anyone else. I knew Yuliya was the one for us!
We gave her a couple locations for our engagement and wedding photos. Before we met with her to take the photos, she drove from afar just to find hidden gems that we didn't even know existed. In the end, our photos were beautiful.
Yuliya is not only an amazing photographer but an artist. She makes the ordinary look extraordinary.
Professional and courteous service. Made myself and my fiance feel relaxed and natural throughout the whole experience. We have not seen a better and more professional photographer on any weddings or events who cares as much about what memories...
you will have after everything is over. The only person we would recommend to all our friends and family.
Yuliya is absolutely talented. She has the eye for very unique photos. Backgrounds and scenes that a normal person like me would never normally realize how beautiful it would come out in a camera lens. She's wonderful!
When I first started looking for a photographer, I valued value more than I did a long career as a wedding photographer. What I found was a photographer with incredible talent, a thirst to deliver the best photos she can, and someone who charg...
ed more than reasonable prices to give us what we wanted -- and more. I loved her work and working with her so much that Yuliya has since photographed 3 friends' weddings (upon my referral), a family holiday photo sessions for me, my husband, two girls, and two dobermans (a lot to handle/deal with on her part, trust me), and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her for every family photo session moving forward. Over the last 4 years of knowing Yuliya, we've been able to forge a friendship because she isn't only a great photographer, but one that is just a great human in general. That, on top of being passionate, talented, patient, and able to take, edit, and deliver photos that make me smile from ear to ear.
Yuliya is absolutely fantastic and a joy to work with. She made my family feel comfortable, which is the only way you're going to take/get great photos. My husband absolutely hates taking pictures but she made him comfortable and brought out his natural smile! She can make my 2.5 yr old laugh and capture who she really is in her pictures. Our dobermans are pretty well-trained but let's face it, dealing with animals can be challenging and Yuliya's patience paid off. On top of that, she's scared of dogs but still let us include them in our photos.
If you hire Yuliya, you won't be disappointed. She takes beautiful pictures, is wonderful to work with, is very reasonably priced, and delivers edited pictures in a much shorter timeframe than most other photographers. No more waiting 3-6 months to see your pictures!
We absolutely loved working with Yuliya. Easy going, no cheese, no uncomfortable moments. We loved our wedding photos. She is detailed with her work. I love that she captures every couple as they are and tells a story through her photos.
We al...
so used Yuliya for another photoshoot and loved our photos. We hope she will be available to take our photos as we age =D
In one simple sentence: Yuliya is now our photographer for life!
A friend recommended Yuliya when my then fiancee and I were on the hunt to find that special one to capture not only our engagements, but THE big day. While looking at the port...
folios of many photographers, they were all very talented, yes, but we decided on Yuliya because her photographs were not just pictures, but they were captured stories. My fiancee and I wanted more than just a wedding photographer: We wanted someone that could tell OUR story, not someone else's on repeat.
When we finally met Yuliya, she was everything and more. She is a polite, young woman that may come off quiet and reserved, but will quickly make you feel as though you have been friends forever. In this initial meeting, she politely answered all of our questions and seemed sincerely interested in our love story and wedding plans. My now husband and I quickly fell in love with her.
Through the whole engagement and wedding process, Yuliya remained very personable, listened to us (mostly me) describe my wedding dreams and allowed my husband and I to just be 'us.' Anytime we had a question or thought, she was available to listen and was very prompt when returning emails, phone calls, and arriving to our photo shoot/brain storming meetings.
As our engagements and wedding day quickly came and went, we have been left with not only beautiful photographs, but a lasting friendship. My husband and I have worked with Yuliya on two occasions since our wedding day and every event is as fun as the first and the results are always surpassing of expectations.
Yuliya is a professional, knowledgable photographer that always allows her clients to participate in the creative process and let their personalities/relationships shine. She is not just a photographer, but an artist who cares deeply for what she creates. They are not just photographs to Yuliya or another job, but an art and experience. She's truly the whole package.
i just happened to look on craigslist while i was planning for a very budget wedding. i come across yuliya who posted a craigslist ad and i loved her style right away. plus, we both were christians! so it was extra cool to support a fellow beli...
ever. she was so awesome! we loved shooting the engagement photos with yuliya. she was fun and wanted to get to know us. we roamed around SF and it was such a fun day. the wedding day was also great. yuliya was on-time and well prepared. for such a crazy day, she had captured all the moments so well.
We are so very blessed to have met Yuliya! She is one of the most talented and most wonderful people you could ever meet. She puts her heart and soul in everything she does. It is very apparent in every shot she takes! She made my husband and I...
feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She took time to get to know us and our love story. Yuliya took both our engagement and wedding pictures. She is very patient and she took time to capture all the special moments and the best backdrops in our chosen locations. Another bonus is that she works so hard to give your digital images super fast so you can relive your special day right away. She even featured us in her blog and wrote about our love story! We have been married for 3 years now but I am still obsessed with our pictures! She captures how beautiful and dreamy that time of our life was. Yuliya has remained a good friend and inspiration for us. I am still a fan girl admiring the other love stories she continues to capture! If you wish to have pictures to treasure for a lifetime, look no further!
Yuliya was a part of our journey from the beginning. She was there on the day my now-husband surprised me with a heart-felt proposal, snapping pictures the whole time. She shared in our engagement photo adventures from the top of a parking ga...
rage overlooking the city to the riverbeds at sunset. And finally, she was with us on our wedding day, capturing the moments we will never forget. She exceeded our expectations by leaps and bounds; from her consultations that felt more like meeting a good friend, to her viewing of our wedding photos accompanied by a homemade lemon tart. She is creative, patient, punctual, professional, and speaking from a bride, puts you at ease. I recommend Yuliya without a question, you will be glad that you chose her.
Yuliya is amazing at what she does! I am so glad my husband and I chose her for our wedding photographer. The first time we met to discuss about our wedding it really felt like we already knew her. She is so sweet! and connects with people real...
ly quick. I never had a photo session before or anything like that so I was really scared i would be awkward and end up not liking my pictures. But she made the atmosphere so easy going, I felt really comfortable and ended up LOVING all the pictures!! She is definitely great I highly recommend. Also our wedding was on July 13th, and her birthday is the same day. I was scared she wouldn't be available that day but she was yey!!
Yuliya was sooo good! She got the pics back to us within a week after the wedding; she took a LOT of really good pics. We were going to go to a park after the wedding to take more pics but decided not to in the end. However, it's my biggest reg...
ret about the wedding because after we saw her pics, we really wish we would've gone to the park to take more pics. She's amazing!
There are so many decisions you have to make when you are planning your wedding and it’s hard to know if you’re making the right ones. Hiring Yuliya to be my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made. Working with her was like w...
orking with a a friend I had known forever (even though we had just met!). Yuliya has this amazing spirit that makes you feel at ease and she is so talented that when you get your photos back you will find yourself saying, “I didn’t know I could look like that.” She understands love, lighting, photography and friendship. She also understands weddings. She will reach out to you before the wedding to make sure she understands what’s important to you - the little details about your handmade bridesmaids flowers or the fact that your Grandma is flying across the country and you want special shots with her. And then she will shoot your wedding and capture your special day like she has known you and your partner forever. Chances are, she will also send you a slideshow of your best shots while you’re on your honeymoon. I watched mine about 20 times in a row from our hotel room in Maui. If you’ve found “the one” and now you need “the photographer” look no further than Yuliya. Seriously. Stop reading this and contact her. ~Alison

Ally, I'll treasure your wedding day for always. Thank you for having me come out to Tahoe for your intimate day.
Before picking our photographer I did some research on photographers and loved Yuliya's pictures the most. Her photos were beautiful - capturing couples looking very natural with beautiful light, composure, and exposure. We are so glad we chose...
to have her as our photographer. We were both very nervous about the idea of having our picture taken and possibly messing them up :) but Yuliya made us feel completely comfortable through the whole process. We had so much fun working with her especially during the engagement photos. Our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined! She made us look so good! She captured so many wonderful moments and details at our wedding. Yuliya made sure to photograph all of the details that we were not even able to see ourselves that day! We are so glad that we invested in such a talented photographer. On top of the amazing photos she is a pleasure to work with - so professional, responsive and willing to work with you. She was easy to communicate with, very clear and on time. We were pleased that she was able to get our photos back to us in a timely manner (a shorter time than she projected). I would not hesitate to recommend her!
Yuliya was amazing! She came recommended through a friend of a friend and shot both our engagement session as well as our wedding. The photos came back better than I could have expected. My brother in law's wife said they were some of the best ...
wedding photos she had ever seen! On top of that, she was extremely friendly and fun to work with. Neither my husband or I are used to sitting and posing for long period of time, and she was very patient with us and made it as painless as possible. I would recommend Yuliya to anyone who asks.
Great Photographer! Our wedding day was perfect from beginning to the end having Yuliya as a part of it. The photography sessions of our wedding day felt relaxed, fun, and productive all at once. She took lots of stunning photos while being ver...
y punctual and on-track with our schedule, which we liked because my wife and I were very intent on staying on schedule throughout our special day. She is very professional, yet down to earth. She's easy to connect with and a pleasure to have around during the whole wedding experience. Im confident that you'll love her from the very moment you meet her!
Yuliya was our wedding photographer and we are SO glad to have her! It took me a long time to find the right photographer (i had been learning painting for a very long time since I was little and learned little bit of photography when I was in ...
college so I am very picky on this). The first time I looked at Yuliya's website and her photos, I knew this is the right photographer. From our conversations (emails and in person), I could tell her passion for wedding photography. She spent time to know us in person so it made me feel like it's a friend taking pictures for us. She also worked with us to fit in our tight budget. On the wedding day, she came early and prepared, and the pictures came out beautiful. I would definitely recommend Yuliya for wedding pictures!
My husband has played baseball since he was 3 so we had a baseball themed shoot at the park where he grew up playing (including an at-bat by yours truly). Yuliya was so flexible with our demands and captured some great shots (even some in place...
s I didn't even think to pose!) She was there from the getting ready to the last dance and she caught so many sweet moments. Everything was very professional but she also did a great job at making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed for the camera.
Yuliya was an absolute dream to work with. She was so warm and friendly but totally professional during our initial consultation with her. And the way she put a nervous bride-to-be at ease--I just knew that she would be a good fit for us (I hav...
e a big family and a very opinionated (but well-meaning) mother who I KNEW would be making a lot of "suggestions" on the wedding day). She understands wedding day dynamics and big, crazy loving families, so who better to shoot our wedding?
Before our engagement shoot, I felt comfortable emailing with her about our outfit choices, props, etc. All that stuff that seems so silly when you say it aloud but really do MATTER when you are a bride and having your once in a lifetime moment! Neither the hubby nor I are particularly photogenic, and are so awkward in photos usually, but Yuliya was so fun and put us at ease and had us laughing in minutes that the smiles on our faces in the photos are genuine.
She met with me a week before the wedding to go over the timeline and provided some very helpful insight and also to get my opinion on which shots were the most important to me. She even happened to be in the area prior to our wedding day and swung by the venue to check it out and to see what the lighting would be like!! On our wedding day, it was wonderful to have her by my side. She stayed calm through all the madness of a very hectic day and stayed much longer than she needed to in order to get all the shots we wanted. We got our gallery of photos in time for our one month wedding anniversary and they were BEAUTIFUL.
Yuliya goes above and beyond the call of duty as a wedding vendor and I can't think of anyone who worked as hard as she did to help us make our day perfect!!!
Meeting Yuliya was one of the best parts of our wedding planning process. From our first conversation on the phone I felt like we were old friends reconnecting. We were so lucky to have Yuliya fly out to New Mexico where we live for our engagem...
ent shoot in the desert which was such an amazing experience for us. And to top it off we got to spend the weekend with her and get to know her and she got to know us. When it came to the engagement photo shoot Yuliya showed her professionalism and skill. My husband and I have never really been great in front of the camera and somehow Yuliya made us feel so comfortable that after a few minutes we felt like old pros. She even let me wear her signature Fedora and one of her statement necklaces which elevated the look of the shoot with so much style. It was an unforgettable experience.
For the wedding planning Yuliya was so helpful with tips for planning based her on experience and frequently checked in with us for details and updates. On the day of the wedding Yuliya brought her sister Dina as a second shooter which was awesome. They are a great team and so talented. We just got our wedding pics the other day and we are stunned. I keep looking at them over and over again and notice new things each time. With her collection you really re-live the day and the experience. It was definitely the best day ever and now we have a collection of photos that take you right back to that day which is priceless.
Yuliya has a unique and beautiful photographic style. It is so clear to see the passion she has for what she does and for life. It is quite an inspiration. And to top it off she is so professional, accommodating, flexible and talented with a good eye for style. I cannot recommend her enough for an amazing experience and a gorgeous set of photos that will help you to relive your engagement and wedding day for many years to come.

I loved coming out to New Mexico to see your home and to capture your engagement story on one of your favorite hiking trails! Thank you for the sweet treat and for your kind words, you two have hearts of gold! Lots of love.
