Yuliya completely exceed our expectations!
Her work was EXCELLENT, very professional and the outcome was just amazing!
Her photo-style mixed with her kindness as a person was extremely appreciated when you are not a local in the city.
Best choice we went for in New York.
Highly recommended.

Yuliya made us feel so secure and supported us through the entire shooting-process which made us feel incredibly confident in front of her lens!
The pictures tuned out even better than we could have imagined.
We’re very grateful for this fun experience and will definitely book again!

We had a wonderful experience with Yuliya during our family photo shoot in NYC.
She was incredibly easy to communicate with and offered great advice ahead of time, helping us feel prepared and at ease.
With two young kids, you never quite know how things will go, but Yuliya made the most of our 35-minute session—just the right amount of time to keep the kids engaged while capturing beautiful, natural moments.
The photos are exactly what we hoped for and will be cherished in our family archive for years to come.
Highly recommend!

We waiting for that photo session more than 6 month and it was incredible! Yuliya recommended a lot of beautiful and famous places in NYC.
Talking and prepared everything.
If you a great professional photographer - you don’t need a lot of time take a cool pictures. Thank you!!!

Working with Yuliya is truly such a pleasure! We have worked with her multiple times and she is always such a pro and the results are phenomenal. This time, not only did she take our engagement photos, but she was actively involved in planning, and even kept the proposal secret even when she saw us the day prior!
Her talent is obvious, but she also so easy to work with and makes what can be a chaotic experience so simple.
We will continue to work with her any time we are in NY.

Working with Yuliya was amazing!
We had such an amazing experience with Yuliya for our photoshoot at Central Park for our first visit as a married couple at NY.
I think Yuliya is a truly professional, she knows how to make you feel comfortable during the shoot.
Also, what I like the most is that she delivered the photos at the date we accord!
I highly recommend her!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Yuliya for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment we met at a cafe, Yuliya made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. Specifically the outdoor shots at the Brooklyn Bridge!!!
The photos are absolutely stunning and capture the essence of the brief we gave her, and the beautiful day. She was professional, punctual, and has the PASSION. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond. The turnaround was faster than accepted as well.
THANK YOU YZ.

We had such an amazing experience with Yuliya for our fall maternity shoot in Central Park! She really knows how to work with lighting and gave us great direction, which was a game-changer since we’re both pretty camera shy. The natural editing on the photos is just perfect, and we’re so happy to have these beautiful memories from this special time in our lives. Honestly, we’re having a hard time choosing just one or two to frame because there are so many great shots! Highly recommend Yuliya if you want stunning photos!

CAN PHOTOS BE ANY MORE BEAUTIFUL?
Dear Yuliya,
we are absolutely thrilled with the photos, they are all beautiful and we are incredibly happy!. The photo shoot after our wedding was informal and uncomplicated, we just had a great time with you. We wish we could relive the time together and the shoot. All of our friends and family love your photos, everyone is thrilled.
If we come to NYC again, we will ask you again.
Thank you so much for this, we can recommend you to everyone! If anyone is still thinking about booking her: DO IT!

I was pretty nervous for my photoshoot, because I had no experience and I had been in contact with Yuliya for a while. But she was everything I hoped for! She is a kind person that really helps you during the photoshoot. She really has an eye for the perfect little spots and I could not be happier with the outcome! When I have the chance I will definitely book her again! She truly is awesome at what she does.

Carola: The Shooting with Yuliya made a lot of fun. Yuliya was so friendly and we felt very comfortable. The pictures are so beautiful and we are more than happy, that we choosed her as our photographer. She created so beautiful memories for us and we can highly recommend her!
Savvas: We booked Yuliya as the photographer for our vacation in New York, which was our fourth trip to the city. We wanted to capture some lasting memories, and Yuliya exceeded all of our expectations. The photoshoot with her was incredibly fun—she’s not only professional, but also warm, funny, and a joy to work with.
This was our fourth trip to NYC, but thanks to Yuliya, we’ll be able to relive those moments forever. The photos and memories she created for us are truly unforgettable.
Thank you, Yuliya! We hope to meet again.

TRULY THE BEST IN NYC!!
My wife and I recently visited NYC for our honeymoon and decided to work with Yuliya. As a photographer myself, it's hard sometimes to find a photographer that meets all my expectations, but Yuliya exceeded them all! She is incredibly talented and passionate about the work she does and working with her was an absolute pleasure.
We are so pleased with the results from our photoshoot and we cannot wait to work with her again!

I cannot even find words to thank Yuliya enough for these photos! I am an artist and asked Yuliya to help me with some photos at my studio showing me at work for my website. My studio is tiny and she managed to find so many different angles and convey exactly the mood I wanted! She was very fun to work with - we laughed all the time! She was giving me a lot of pose suggestions that were incredibly helpful. I have already booked a pre-wedding couple photo session with her for next year! Cannot wait!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Yuliya for a photoshoot in New York City, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Yuliya was incredibly professional and well-organized from start to finish. She communicated clearly and promptly, in preparation of the photoshoot, during and after.
During the photoshoot, Yuliya's warm and friendly demeanor made us feel completely at ease. Her ability to create a relaxed atmosphere allowed us to be ourselves, resulting in natural photos. Yuliya's expertise and attention to detail were evident in every shot, capturing the essence of our time in the city perfectly.
We highly recommend Yuliya to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer. Her skill, professionalism, and ability to make her clients feel comfortable are truly exceptional. Thank you, Yuliya, for the wonderful memories and stunning photos!

We are so happy we chose Yuliya to be our photographer!
She was so helpful with locations and the photos all came out stunning!
Better than we imagined and also in such speedy time! For two people that are awkward with photos she was also great in guiding us with posing.

I would like to take a moment to express our profound gratitude for the incredible job you did with our engagement photos. Having never worked with a professional photographer before, we were both amazed and deeply moved by the quality of the work you delivered. The way you captured our natural expressions and the emotions of the moment was truly magical.
Despite the day being exceptionally cold, you made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable for us, ensuring at no point did the chill dampen our spirits. Your ability to masterfully capture the light and colors, creating images far beyond anything we could have taken ourselves, was nothing short of remarkable.
What we appreciated most was how you managed to encapsulate both the extraordinary and the everyday moments of our relationship. The photos are a perfect blend of the surreal and the intimate, capturing the essence of our bond beautifully.
Your extensive knowledge of New York's most picturesque and ideal locations for photography was evident in the backdrop of every photo. You've given us a gift that we'll cherish forever - a timeless capture of our love and the city that means so much to us.
Thank you once again for your incredible talent, patience, and for making our engagement photo session an unforgettable experience. We are beyond thrilled with the results and cannot wait to share these memories with our loved ones. All the photos will be our lifetime memories.

My fairy godmother has been hard at work this year. Thankful to her for leading me to Yuliya - an amazing photographer with the sweetest soul.
This was my first photoshoot ever and she made it so easy. We talked and laughed (and I even got my exercise in - those runs and jumps though 😂).
Honestly, I could not have asked for a better experience; just two girls having fun on the streets of NY.
Thank you, Yuliya. I can't wait to shoot with you again.

I am struggling to find the words to describe how happy I am with my photos and my experience with Yuliya.
Doug and I decided to elope in NYC, so I looked up NYC photographers on Instagram and found Yuliya’s page. Within minutes, she responded to my inquiry, and we were BOOKED! We wanted something very low key, but the photos Yuliya captured made everything look like an epic fairytale MOVIE!
Yuliya ran around the city with us and captured all the beautiful moments. She made us feel super comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. We had so much fun!
The only thing I cared about was having nice pictures for our elopement and they exceeded all my expectations. I had so many incredible pictures to choose from that I literally got stressed out just trying to pick which ones to post! I had sooooo many people telling me how beautiful our pictures are! She even delivered them within a couple days!!!!!
Her aesthetic is so beautiful and timeless. I will remember this day forever as the most perfect day ever! I HIGHLY recommend hiring her! You will not regret it!
Thank you Yuliya!

We absolutely LOVED the pictures Yuliya did for us and were so happy with the end result. Her pictures are dynamic and full of personality, artistry, and soul.
She knew the best spots in NYC and gave us directions on how to pose. The whole organization & communication was smooth from start to finish.
Definitely recommend working with Yuliya, she’s a talent to look out for!

Yuliya was amazing to work with!
This was our first time getting professional pics done and she made us feel SO comfortable! We took pictures around Central Park, and she was very knowledgeable on all of the spots, lighting, angles etc. - we absolutely love our pictures!!
Сan’t recommend Yuliya enough for all your photography needs!

If I had to describe it in one word: Amazing!
From start to finish, everything was amazing. She was so good in the communication from the start when we booked 4 months in advance, she helped us with ideas and was very flexible with our wishes.
When we arrived she made us feel extremely comfortable and told us to relax and that everything will be good. At the end of the day it was exactly like she said. We felt so relaxed even though it was our first ever photo shoot.
We couldn’t have wished for a better photographer and I would definitely recommend every single person who needs a photographer to book her!
And of course the pictures turned out fantastic ;)
Thank you again Yuliya!

HIRE HER!!!
You will not regret it!
Yuliya went above and beyond during my lifestyle shoot with her in Soho. She was a pleasure to work with, efficient and the photos came out great. I really enjoyed how directive she was during our hour long shoot together. She told me exactly what to do and she has a great eye for picking out spots and telling you what to do with your body so the pictures come out fantastic. I had my completely photo library within 24 hours of shooting with her and she even included many many extra photos beyond what my package included. I'd recommend her to anyone.

If you want to go beyond your imagination and get a new feeling of yourself as a beautiful, inspiring and joyful creature, then you need to spend at least few hours with Yuliya and her magic camera. She is professional, of course. But, it’s more than just simply making shoots and giving polished photos in several months (as some other photographers usually do). Working with Yuliya is about quality, speed, customer centricity, and, of course, fun fun fun.
I am grateful for this opportunity to cooperate with Yuliya and get the outcome which exceeds expectations.

It all started with me looking for a NYC photographer on instagram and came across Yuliya’s profile and was super impressed by what I saw :)
Luckily, Yuliya was available on our wedding date and made our day even more special then we thought it would be!
Yuliya is just amazing, super professional and also just a very nice and calming person to have around on your special day! Photos exceeded our expectations and I can’t wait to share them with all of our loved ones.
I would definitely recommend Yuliya as your NYC photographer, she knows all the right spots and have such a talented great eye for natural beauty in absolutely everything around!
Thank you Yuliya, you are the best!

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!

I've been following Yuliya's work for a while. Having lived in New York for over 8 years, my husband and I, a photographer myself, have never had a photoshoot in this grand city. I must say, I've been dreaming about one for a while. Two weeks after we had our first child, pandemic started, so needless to say our lives were placed on hold in many aspects and we went into a survival mode. 2023 was a new start for us and when we decided to finally make time to capture our family for posterity, I had only one choice - to contact Yuliya. Her photos are so full of life and movement, they capture the subtleties I noticed other photographers hardly even see.
We wanted to take pictures in several iconic locations of Central Park, in spring, when most trees are in bloom. Yuliya was absolutely great working with us to schedule the photoshoot at the absolute best time. When we met her, she was very easy going and made fast friends with our 3-year old daughter. She put my husband at ease and our hour with her flew by. Everyone had a great time.
We were expecting our photos to be ready in 1-2 weeks, but to our amazement, we received them 2 days later and twice as many as promised to us. I don't think anything else should be said after this. If you are still thinking whether to book your shoot with Yuliya, well, I might just beat you to it.

I looked through the pictures and I feel they aren’t really what I was hoping for… it’s upsetting because I am unable to reshoot as I was only down here for my birthday. Thank you taking the time to do these for me but I would appreciate if you could give me a refund.
These are not good photos to add in a gallery. My eyes are shut and I’m getting attacked. I know it’s not your fault that the birds attacked but you added them in my gallery that I paid a lot of money for and I am very unhappy with that . I would never pay that much for photos of me like this.
Photographer's comment: I am currently uploading all raw photos with seaguls (couple and individual). And you can watch all these shots and make sure that I chose the best ones. I couldn't physically take more shots (couple), because after 10-15 minutes Tyler refused to shoot. And that’s why I started taking photos more of you.
I do not make a refund. I did everything I could on the shoot, in processing and also made more edited photos, also I will send raw photos, and everything is ready today. That’s all I can do that.
Terri, I’m truly sorry. I have had this situation for the first time. I’m also very upset. But I really did everything I could.
I did my job, you got the result (you received more photos without addition payment. Yes, you received couple photos with seagulls as much as I could with the seagulls.) You didn’t like the result, unfortunately, as it turned out, it happens. I do not make a refund (we have the agreement and you know that).
And everything I could do in this situation, I did.

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 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.

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!

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.

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!

Yuliya 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!!!

Yuliya 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 Yuliya wouldn't stop until she made sure that she got really good shots.
She is very hardworking and professional. Additionally, Yuliya 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

It was an amazing experience to work with Yuliya! 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 Yuliya 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 Yuliya!

Yuliya, 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! :)

Yuliya, 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. You're very good at your job, and also a wonderful and nice person.

It would seem it's not very easy to convey the feelings and emotions even in words, but Yuliya 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 l get lost! Thanks to Yuliya 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. Yuliya, thank you so much, it was a pleasure to work with you! I think you'll became our family photographer.

Yuliya is 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, Yuliya!

Yuliya, 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 Yuliya 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 Yuliya 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!

Yuliya, 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!

Yuliya Zakharava is our unique family photographer. We entrusted her to capture the most precious moments of our life: a pregnant photo shoot, discharge from maternity hospital, the first photoshoot of the 12 days' daughter, christening. When we turn to Yuliya, I'm always sure that the result will be magnificent! She makes very emotional, live photos, which you want to watch over and over again! She has the ability to find contact with any person (and she is very fond of all children: smiling and listening to her), she creates a friendly and easy atmosphere during the shooting, you can relax and, listening to her recommendations, feel real model (even if it's your first photography).
And she also never stands still, she constantly learns and improves her skills at master classes and courses. She is also very talented (she has a million ideas, she will tell what kind of image to choose). And she is responsible. She always gives photos on time and nice packs them. In general, I advise everyone to contact Yuliya Zakharava. You'll have beautiful photos and bright emotions with her!

Such photographers as you still need to look for! Our little one looked at you camera and smiled. it's very important for us as parents!!! You are great to take such pictures! You can find your calling, and if you love what you do, the results are there for all to see. Thank you for your approach to your job and to your customers!
