LOVE LETTERS
We had the most amazing day with Yana! We very intentionally created a day that was going to be as chill and intimate as possible. We had less than 20 people and were a bit nervous about the sort of energy a photographer that we weren’t familiar with would bring. We were out of state so we unfortunately did not know her personally nor did we get to meet before the day of our wedding. However, I already had a great feeling about Yana after seeing her work and jumping on a video call, but WOW did she exceed my expectations for a photographer. Yana immediately matched our energy and fell into step with the overall vibe of the day. She was thoughtful, patient, and beyond friendly. She made us feel so comfortable and cared for on our day. Not to mention, the photos were PHENOMENAL. A wedding day is very special. While you want incredible photos, you also want to spend the day with a photographer who is going to make everyone feel at ease. Yana did both and we are so grateful!
From the earliest part of the planning process, Yana was incredible with prompt responses, and clear communication. The day of the session she made sure that we were as prepared as possible, and went out of her way multiple times to make sure that the shoot went smoothly and was SO amazing with directing us and giving us prompts. She made our session SO fun, and made sure there was plenty of movement within our photos- which i absolutely LOVE because looking back at our photos, I can remember exactly how I felt in that moment. I truly cannot express how amazing my experience was working with Yana, and my husband and I would instantly book with her again in a heartbeat!! <3
Collaborating with Yana was such a special experience, and we’re so grateful our paths crossed. From the very beginning, she was so kind, genuine, and easy to work with. She created such a comfortable atmosphere that allowed us to relax, have fun, and simply enjoy being together while she captured it all. You can truly see how much heart she puts into her work. Every photo reflects not only her incredible talent but also the care and intention she has behind the camera. She has an amazing ability to capture authentic moments and the beauty of the Tetons in such a timeless way. We’re so thankful we had the opportunity to create alongside her and are absolutely in love with the images she gave us. It was such a meaningful collaboration, and we would recommend Yana to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about the people she’s photographing. We can’t wait to create with her again someday!
Yana was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so professional and prepared with what vision she wanted for these pictures. She made us feel so comfortable, as she told us exactly how to pose and look for the best shots! The photos came out absolutely incredible. We were in awe! All my family and friends said they looked like they came out of a magazine! So happy we found her!
Yana is such a sweet and talented photographer, and every session with her feels special. She has a warm, genuine energy that makes us feel completely at ease, and it shows in the beautiful, heartfelt moments she captures. Her work is not just photography-it's storytelling, and we're so grateful to have her behind the lens. We truly love getting our pictures taken by her and we can't wait for her to be there for all the special moments in our life!
We had the BEST experience for a couples photoshoot!! Yana was so so helpful from the beginning and made the whole experience so comfortable and creative. Every photo is perfection and we will cherish them forever! We only wish we found her sooner but excited to have her capture our future moments!
Yana is AMAZING! She photographed both our engagement and wedding, and we are absolutely thrilled with her work. We hired her as our photographer, but by the end of it all, she truly felt like a friend. She was so intentional throughout the entire process and made everything feel seamless, especially during such a stressful season of wedding planning. Her creativity, enthusiasm, and calming presence gave us so much confidence and allowed us to be ourselves in front of the camera. Not only are our photos absolutely beautiful, but they genuinely capture the joy and emotion of those moments. We couldn’t be more grateful that we found Yana and had the opportunity to work with her. We would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
We've had the joy of working with Yana for several years, and somehow, each photoshoot leaves me even more amazed than the last. She is the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth — always flexible, dependable, and fast when it comes to delivering our photos. But what truly sets Yana apart is her heart. She radiates kindness and positivity, making every session feel effortless and fun. I'm usually laughing the entire time we're shooting. Beyond her undeniable talent, Yana has a remarkable gift for capturing and portraying our love through her art - something we will always cherish. Her work speaks for itself, and every time we work with her, we're reminded how grateful we are to have found her.
Yana was so wonderful to work with both for our engagement and wedding photos. 6 months later we’re still so obsessed & we continue to get compliments on the photos from others months later. Cannot express how easy & amazing it is to work with Yana!
Yana made our engagement photos and our wedding photos truly a dream come true. I look back at photos and feel such joy because she captured our love so perfectly. She is so fun to work with and made us feel so at ease in front of the camera. Her talent, creativity, and eye for capturing genuine moments are incredible. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer, and we'll treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.
