Yuliya Jul Photography

e made us all feel comfortable and took the most stunning photos. Yuliya shoots on both film and digital (so you get a mix of both, and the film really does add a special touch). She also brought an assistant, who was equally great. By the end of the night, her and her assistant felt like our friends. Multiple guests came up to me throughout the wedding to tell me how lovely they were. I also wanted to note that she goes above and beyond for her clients - she hadn’t shot at our venue before and scoped it out a few weekends before our wedding, so she knew all of the best spots for photos. I really can’t say enough good things about her and my experience with her throughout the entire process.

alk to and joke with! Now I wish we could fly her out to shoot our actual wedding! It goes without saying her photos are STUNNING! We were so amazed with how all of our photos turned out, we had a hard time narrowing down our favorites for our wedding website and save the date cards! Yuliya is extremely professional and she is so passionate at what she does. She knew the venue so well we photographed at and how to work with the lighting. She was prompt and even gave recommendations of where to shoot (since we weren’t from Napa) as well as recommendations for makeup artists if I needed them. She went above and beyond and we were so impressed. If you can book with her, do it!!

. Being a florist, I am BIG on the details, especially detail shots. If you are considering booking Yuliya as your wedding photographer, RUN don't walk. She creates pure magic!!!!

ctly throughout our day and that we stayed on time. She was always there to catch those special moments we will cherish forever! Thank you Yuliya!

an and organize pre-wedding events for both the Bride and Groom, and ensured everyone stayed punctual and the schedule ran smoothly. Outstanding photographers, I could not have asked for anything more. Yuliya is truly the best of the best!!

direction and helped with poses. She is very responsive, detail-oriented and easy to communicate with. Our journey working with her was very pleasant, and our friends and family enjoyed seeing the great photos she took! Thanks Yuliya for going above and beyond your job, and making our experience very, very fantastic! :)

e with a photographer till date. Yuliya is super personable and extremely talented at what she does. We were blown by the pictures when we received them (much earlier than promised). She captured so many captivating shots in a beautiful way which would be cherished and treasured by us forever. Thank you Yuliya!

dding!

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!

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.

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.

ures!! Thank you Yuliya!! Can’t wait to work with you again in the future!!’

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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

of state, so we were worried about finding the right fit for photographer...but we definitely hit it out of the park with Yuliya.

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.

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.

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.

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!
