I don't know where to begin. I was looking for a wedding photographer on Instagram and I accidentally found Yuliya’s page. When I saw her pictures, I knew she is the one. All I can say that it was really hard for me to find the right photographer.
I chose Yuliya because of her style. Her powerful photos tell a story.
But what a surprise was when I realized that Yuliya was already my photographer 5 years ago. She took so nice photos of me that are still my favorite!I could not be more happy because I already knew that I’m gonna love my wedding photos.
I’m so glad that I found Yuliya after so many years and she made our special day more special!
Yuliya is a true professional! I can even say that she was already a professional back then in 2018.
She is such a nice person and it is very easy to work with her.
Our wedding photos are INCREDIBLE!!! They look exactly how I wanted them to be. We love our pictures! It is our memory and it is so special. We also got so many compliments on the photos.
Thank you Yuliya!

If you live in, or are visiting New York Yuliya is the only photographer you should have to share a part in your special day or create memories with. I searched far and wide until I found her and couldn’t be more thankful that we did 🥰 Her beautiful photography speaks for itself, but Yuliya was also so prompt with replies (especially because we planned it from overseas) and was very accommodating the entire process. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our vow renewal such a special day. We will adore these photos and memories forever.

I booked Yuliya in December for a proposal shoot in Central Park. She was amazing from the very first message all the way until the end when she delivered the completed photos.
She was an absolute pleasure to work with, taking us around to her favourite spots for photos, and walking us through how to get the best results. We were absolutely blown away when we got the finished photos, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and result.
I would recommend her to anyone, and next time in the city, I know who I will be contacting for a photoshoot!

Yuliya’s work is absolutely gorgeous and our pictures turned out far greater than even my highest expectations. She was incredibly fun to work with and made the photoshoot comfortable. My husband and I don’t get professional pictures done often so it was nice to have Yuliya’s direction and guidance throughout the shoot! We appreciated her attention to detail and creativity. Our final pictures were beautiful, and we will treasure them for a lifetime! 🤍

I'm so happy that we chose you for our wedding photographer. I can just say that we can't stop looking at our photos. Photoshoot went amazing; Yuliya made us feel very relaxed, comfortable and we really enjoyed our moment together. She is professional, talented and, before all of that, she is a true artist.
And pictures were ready before expected time!
Thank you for capturing our precious moments and our emotions with classic NYC vibes in the background!

My husband and I just had our 2nd photoshoot with Yuliya.
I was very stressing at first because my previous experience with other photographers wasn't really great. But it turned out so great and we had so much fun that we booked our 2nd photoshoot. Now I have 2 NYC photoshoots that are perfect and better than I could've imagined.
Thank you, Yuliya for being such a professional, creative, and talented photographer.

You’re simply amazing! You’re an example of people on the right place doing the right things. Thank you so much! We love the results. Usually I like to hang abstract or random portraits on the walls, always though that putting yourself in a frame is way too selfish, but you made me change my mind. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Choosing Yuliya to be our photographer for our one year anniversary trip to NY was the best decision we ever made! She is extremely talented, professional, and so friendly. She even helped me put on my dress! My husband and I loved our photos so so much we couldn’t stop raving about them! She is definitely the best of the best. Now, when we look back on our adventure in NY to celebrate a special moment, we have such precious photos to look back on and reminisce an amazing time of our lives. Not only did we absolutely adore our photo collection, but we genuinely loved our sunrise experience with Yuliya! She made us laugh and enjoy the moment to the fullest.

Best photographer in New York! I am from Indonesia and want to take picture with my fiancée when our holiday in New York, I just strolling through Instagram and looking for photographer that suits our style.
I choose Yuliya over many photographer and didn’t regret my choice at all!
It was rainy day at New York, and we worried not to get the good picture, but Yuliya manage it all, She already prepared a pretty umbrella with all the gears for her camera! She also guide us to take good angles and picture.
Really satisfied with the result!
Thanks a lot Yuliya, grateful to have you as our photographer!

We just did our real estate team’s lifestyle photo shoot this week with Yuliya Zakharava, who was recommended to me by a dear colleague.
Yuliya was really incredible. She knew all the best spots in our chosen location. Was very patient and gave direction. Generous throughout the process and each one of us looks like a million bucks. Turn around time was faster than expected. Highly recommend!

Yuliya has now captured several of my important life moments. A milestone birthday, the launch of my non profit, and personal brand photos. Each time Yuliya doesn’t just capture the moment, but also the essence of me in that time in my life. This is the difference between someone who merely takes photos and someone who captures art.

Would absolutely recommend — we asked Yuliya to use her best discretion on poses, shots, etc and we got dozens of fantastic photos. Would recommend to all our friends.

I was very lucky that Julia accured to find free time to do some shooting with me. Great sunset in a company of the proffesional. We communicated pretty easily and I got ideal photos just as I dreamed about. I'm satisfied at 100%. I hope to make another photo promenade with Julia when I come to NY next time.

It was my first photoshoot, and I was concerned if I would be shy and frozen during entire process. But Julia is professional and so nice person, that entire process went very easy, fun and with a lot of joy! Result also surprised me- I have got fantastic pictures, like for a magazine. I am very happy with this experience. Definitely, will choose Julia as my photographer again

My husband & I loved our photoshoot with Yuliya! We wanted to capture some special pictures before leaving New York, and the pictures were even better than we hoped. Julia made the process very easy and fun, and we felt relaxed the whole time. She really captured the idea we had of classic New York City vibes in the photos, and bonus that we received them so quickly!

My husband and I were extremely happy with Yuliya’s work and presence on our wedding day. Julia can capture emotions and the tone of an event better than other photographers. (I cried and laughed while scrolling through our wedding ceremony photos.) Because of COVID-19 restrictions, we had a tiny winter wedding ceremony- with no reception and very little flowers/decorations. I can only imagine Julia’s work if it was a bigger celebration in a different season. Despite the circumstances, she is amazing and captures beauty in every person and location. We are very thankful we found her and she had time for photograph our wedding!

Julia is a very professional photographer and an incredible person. All of our photos turned out great and Julia executed them in less then a week. We had the best time during photoshoot and felt very relaxed, even though we never worked with a professional photographer before. I would recomend Julia's services to anyone. Thank you for amazing memories!

Julia is an incredibly talented photographer. She’s creative, personably and patient. She even stood in the freezing cold with me so we could capture the perfect sunrise pictures. I can’t wait to work with her again!!!

Julia is amazing and the warmest person! Her way of feeling me and my mood made me happy. I was glad and relaxed during the shooting. It’s the best birthday gift 🎁
Юлечка - потрясающая, чувствующая и тёплая... при этом профессионал своего дела. Было ооочень комфортно и легко. И результат поразил на 1000%. А готовые фотки уже на следующий день — это настоящий приятный шок. Юля, спасибо ❤️

Julia is an amazing photographer!
She gave me the pictures of my dreams! Me and my husband got married 2 months ago in Maryland, but I really wanted to have our pictures in the city of my dreams (NYC) with the man of my dreams :)
Julia captured exactly what we hoped for! Every picture turned out to be fantastic!
We chose two locations: Central Park and Top of the Rock.
When we got to the Rockfeller center we were behind our scheduled time, and had to shoot when the sun was down. But she did an amazing job! I couldn't believe how great our pictures are even though the ambient light was low. The pictures are even better than most could usually make during the day or sunrise on top of the rock :) It was also cold and windy in the evening, but Julia wouldn't stop until she made sure that she got really good shots.
She is very hardworking and professional. Additionally, Julia was very quick to respond and she gave us edited photos in just one week! She was cheerful and fun to be around. She was great to work with and gave us a lot of direction.
Highly recommended!

I loved working with Julia! She made me feel very comfortable and at ease during the shoot. Additionally, she was willing to incorporate all of the scenery/ different locations in New York that I wanted into a one hour shoot, which was very important to me. She was professional, timely, and fun to work with. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you for the wonderful photos, Julia! xoxo

I had pleasure working with Julia during my trip to NYC. She was very professional, helped me with how to pose, where to look, where to put my hands - everything!!! Not to mention, she is just a great positive person, and I really enjoyed the time :) The photos were AMAZING!!! Words cannot describe how happy I am! Definitely coming back soon, cannot wait to do another project! Thank you, Julia!

It was an amazing experience to work with Julia! She is very professional and know how to combine you together. You know that it is super hard for couples to do this kind of things for the first time. With Julia you feels funny and safe so you opening up very fast and just enjoying the process. She is very hard working persons. It was very cold, she was without gloves or hat, climbing rocks with us just for a one good shoot. We spent hours together and she was very professional! Never told us she needs a break or a sip of water! Very strong girl! When I saw those pictures it just took my breath away, THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Can't wait for the next time! Thank you so much Julia!

Julia, thank you very much for such cool photos! You were able to fully convey the atmosphere of the city, which we see from the outside, but sometimes can not always convey in photographs. You took photographs exactly as I imagined them. Thank you for the full return of yourself during the work, despite the wind and cold. Thank you for that it's so easy and fun to work with you. You're the best! Be sure to repeat! :)

Юлия - великолепный фотограф. Она мастер своего дела. С ней время проходит очень быстро. За короткий промежуток времени, она сделает качественные снимки с разных мест, например, у меня была фотосессия в Нью-Йорке. Мы за час успели побывать в трех различных местах. С ней можно найти общие темы для общения, которые могут затянуться на очень долгое время. Скорее главное, это адекватные цены! Удачи!

Julia, thank you very much for the wonderful photos! They turned out very alive, interesting, emotional. Special thanks for the atmosphere at your photo shoots. It’s so easy and comfortable with you. There is kind of feels like we have known each other for ages. Very cool when you enjoy not only viewing pictures, but also the process of shooting.

It would seem it’s not very easy to convey the feelings and emotions even in words, but Julia managed to capture them on film! She caught all the tenderest, sweetest and most intimate moments. Okay, to speak my truth there is one "but": it's impossible to choose a couple of photos, cause they are all so amazing that I get lost! Thanks to Julia for the comfortable atmosphere she creates in her photo shoots, there is no feeling of stranger from the first second, what makes it easy and productive to work. It is worth noting the speed and quality of editing, because they are wonderful. Julia, thank you so much, it was a pleasure to work with you! I think you‘ll became our family photographer.

Julia, from the first second of meeting it was very easy to work, although we are not photomodels and not photogenic, and it‘s true, but you could find our hidden "photogenic" and we felt relaxed, and like a fish out of water! Thank you for capturing the most important day in our life! You're very good at your job, with your own style, which hook up! And what is very important! Thank you for helping me, you were like our wedding coordinator from the moment of our acquaintance and to the banquet

After the photo shoot, I was confused. Alice, to put it mildly, behaved not very well and I didn‘t expect to get good pictures! But today I saw them .... and I like every picture! Each photo is filled with warmth and comfort, and of course it reminds of those merry moments how the daughter behaved! Once again many thanks, Julia!

Julia, photos are awesome, very tender, sincere and romantic! Thanks for the speed and quality of editing! Artem is very happy, he crazy about the portraits (he didn’t like portraits before). We look at the photos over and over again, we have already looked for 3 times, and I like them so much that I can’t even choose the best one, because they are all very beautiful. It’s so easy and fun to work with you, we hope this is not the last our photo shoot)))

The story that led me to Julia began with a little dream of a blog. On the way there was a step to make beautiful photos for content and personalization of me as an author. I know how to working with words and meanings. But the world of photography is a land I know nothing about. I came to Julia with a vague idea and uncertainty. And she took me to her lens, giving advice on the fly. Now I have the most beautiful photos in the world. I do not know how she did it, but I suspect it's a super ability to read minds. Thank you!

Julia, how many emotions I have now. The photos are so beautiful, crazy, sincere and airy. We look at pictures and smile, I look at my husband, at his emotions, at his smile and wrinkles, you know, you captured all these, all that I love in him so much, I'm actually crying! There was a tear in my right eye (wiped and pretended that I scratched the eye). Thank you, thank you, thank you many times! I want to scream THANK YOU. You are incredible, you are very good at your job! Thank you again from our family!

I'm looking at photos and they are all beautiful, so real and alive. I want to print everyone and look at them every day. And the design that you gave me is so nice and beautiful. It does me such good when a person treats his work like this, not just take pictures and give them, but everything with heart. You are the photographer that when you imagine your future events in life, and just personal photo shoots, I want you to capture them as a memory for life. And mos importantly, as a person - you are adorable, sweet, beautiful and always smile like people in your picture. I hope to see you again. In general, thank you for everything!
