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. read more

Having Yuliya as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions. We live out of state, so all contact with Yuliya was through email. To be honest the price we were quoted was also very reasonable compared to other photographers in the area that we had to chose from at our particular venue. Prior to the wedding she reached out asking if there were specific shots we wanted of our wedding so she could understand our preferences and general vibe. The day of the wedding she was very professional and knew exactly what needed to be done to get good shots and angles. She was efficient and as the bride I knew I could trust her. My husband and I are usually very awkward for photos, but somehow Yuliya knew how to catch the good angles and natural facial expressions. We were as pleased and grateful as pleasantly surprised after getting our photos back. We are so grateful that she was able to capture the essence and all the memorial highlights and details of the wedding. Her photos will be what we use to bring our memories back to life as we grow old. Thank you, Yuliya! read more

Yuliya 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!!! read more

It's hard to accurately put into words how wonderful Yuliya is! I was attracted to her work immediately - it has a light and airy feel, but with great definition. Yuliya took photos of me for my blog and did so expertly. Being new to the blogging world, it was hard for me to warm up to the camera at first. But Yuliya has a way to make her clients feel extremely comfortable, and as a result, the pictures look effortless. From the beginning of the shoot, I was impressed with her professionalism and expertise - she knew the exact way to get the most out of each shot. She's also a wonderful person - and took a genuine interest in me and my work. That's unheard of in today's fast paced world. When I walked away from the shot I already knew the photos would be amazing, but they exceeded my expectations! Each one was pure perfection. If I could give Yuliya more than 5 stars I would! read more

When I first met Yuliya, I couldn't help but notice how much energy she has and how excited she looked to meet us and get to know us. She has a very loving personality and very motivated. She will catch picture perfect moments that I couldn't even see at the time. Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures came out beautiful and more than I could have imagined. Absolutely stunning pictures! The colors and the style taken was exactly the way I wanted. Thank you, Yuliya! We really enjoyed working with you through our wedding journey. read more

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! Engagement: http://www.yuliyamblog.com/odette-robert-nautical-engagement/ Wedding: http://www.yuliyamblog.com/odette-robert-santana-row-wedding/ 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! read more

Yuliya is absolutely fabulous!!!! Not only she took amazing photos, but took the time to identify what I wanted to capture during my photo shoot and somehow every single one of my photos where absolutely aligned with the story I wanted these photos to tell. Yuliya is truly an amazing artist and an incredible professional. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is truly interested in capturing the nuances of life without a doubt! xo Tzeli read more

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 working 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 read more

Yuliya is an amazing photographer! I hired Yuliya to do a photo shoot because I wanted to redo all my professional photos for my new branding, and she really captured what I was looking for. I have received tons of compliments so far on the pictures I have started using. read more

I hired Yuliya to photograph my daughter and I. We absolutely loved her style and ability to make us feel and look beautiful. I was beyond pleased with all of the photographs. Yuliya explained that we could do a "lifestyle" shoot, and I was delighted to see what that was like. She captured our energy and love right in our home, while bringing out the joy between us. What a gift these photos have added to our life. I cannot say enough how much I recommend working with her. She is truly talented and very professional. A winning comibination indeed. read more

Yuliya falls into the "best decision we ever made" category! Our experience with her was perfect in every way imaginable. With Yuliya, her professionalism made is such that there were no details to be concerned about throughout the entire process. It never felt like a business arrangement - she was happily there to capture the magic of the moment on our wedding day. Since our wedding, we always get compliments of the photos Yuliya took. We couldn't possibly have a higher recommendation for Yuliya and we know when we renew our vows someday we'll want Yuliya there to capture the moment!! read more

Yuliya is a wonderful photographer with a beautiful style. I saw her gorgeous engagement and wedding photos online and knew I wanted to work with her for our photos. When I spoke with her on the phone and later met her in person, I knew I had made the right choice. She is a lovely, kind person who is willing to work with you, understand your preferences, put you at ease, and coax the best looks from you. She did an exquisite job on our engagement and wedding photos, and all our guests felt she was caring and fun. 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. read more

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! read more

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 engagement 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. read more

Yuliya took our family photos for our adoption profile and they look amazing! When the adoption journey is filled with mounds of paperwork and answering personal questions that would leave anyone feeling vulnerable and exhausted, the pictures we needed taken could have been an added stress. Instead, with Yuliya's sweet spirit and calming assurance this part of the adoption process was, thankfully, just the opposite. Taking family pictures to document the beginning of our adoption process was relaxing, fun, and a sweet reminder to enjoy each step of the journey. We absolutely love how she made the experience so comfortable, and that our genuine love for each other comes through in every picture (so nothing looks/felt posed or fake in any way). She came to our home, went to the 2 locations we asked for, allowed us to use props, offered to wait for wardrobe changes, and was just so cheerful the whole time. She has a very special gift of capturing precious moments with a camera that warm your heart and will be cherished for years to come. Thank you, Yuliya! read more

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 back 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! read more

Yuliya is a dream to work with! Talented, professional, and genuine! She really cares about her clients and capturing magical images! She made us feel so comfortable and the pictures were beautiful!!! Thanks Yuliya! read more

Yuliya and I met a few years back through a friend referral. I am a wedding photography and was looking for help on a wedding I was shooting. She quickly became one of if not my favorite people to work with. She was so much fun and interacted with my clients so well. I was very impressed and felt so lucky to have met her and added her to my close circle of friends. Since then we have worked together many times and every time we do, her product is amazing, her ability to interact with the client outstanding. When it came time for me to need some personal professional images it was a no brainer on who I was going to call. I quickly remember why I take pictures........because I hate having them taken. Yuliya applied the same approach I have seen her do so many times in the past when we have worked together and before I knew it I was very comfortable on the other side of the camera. As somewhat of an expert in photography I know what it takes to make a great photographer and Yuliya has "IT". She is my go to for my personal, family and professional images and when I cant' take care of a client hands down she is the first referral I hand out. If you need someone to capture life's special moments in a fun, captivating, yet classy way look no further. I am truly honored to have had her capture images with me for me but most of all to have her in my life she is truly a gift and I highly recommend her for any type of photography work you may be searching for. read more

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! read more

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 contacted 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! read more

Before picking our wedding 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! read more
