Welcome to my blog!
Yuka-is my short name from Yuliya. Originally, I am from Ukraine.Since my husband and I moved to USA, we live in Buffalo, NY. I started this BLOG to share with you my new pictures from wedding, engagement, glamour sessions and art projects.
A few facts about me: - Before I start my photography career I was a professional dancer ,graphic designer and travel manager
- I travel a lot. I visited 17 countries . Travel is my passion!
- I feel sooo happy to do what I do
- I am always inspired by people, beauty and love. I am inspired by life!
- My dream is to open my own boutique studio, get together with a great team of people who share my passion to photography; and to create art. ~Yuka
Last 2009 wedding season was just amazing- filled of new beautiful weddings, meetings, discovers, excitements…..new experience, new goals and achievements. I am thankful for that year in many ways!
I’m constantly amazed going through all my photographs. This is like a little trip to the best time which you never forget.
Anyway, I’d like to thank all you people who were the part of my life during season 2009!
I am posting these “behind the scene”photographs of Oleksiy and me to remember last year.
I love to meet new wedding vendors and build relationships.
Love you The best second shooter ever- my husband!
It’s that time of year again the time when you feel a little more special
Today is my Birthday, and my morning started with beautiful roses…
I love you Leshka!
And I(we) have some news to share with you!

Hi there! Yuka, did you remenber me, Zhang or Chang. Marisha tell me, what you have good news! My congratulation!!! I`m happy for you! I see your works, very good! I like to make photo too, but your better. And i see Oksana, she is very changed. me regarst to her. And regast to Alex, he is happy man!
She was my first friend when I came in USA. I did not hear from her for a long time. She is very gifted girl and she always inspired me in different ways…
I never mentioned before, but I think this is time to write about it…As you know I capture all my weddings with Oleksiy. We are the perfect team and we did it together from the very beginning. We shoot from different points, we use different lenses and we cover story of the day perfectly together.
At the end of the wedding season we made a decision – we need a buddy…an assistant/second shooter who can help us in different situations – when we shoot really big wedding or if someone is not available on the wedding day.
We were lucky to find Taras. He is our friend and he is abscessed with photography. We took a few weddings together already and every time he did better and better! I am more than sure he will build his own photography business in future because he loves it and he learns (catch) very fast!
Taras I just want to say thank you! Thank you for the great work, for your passion and I hope we will work as a team this upcoming season!!!

Thank's Yuka, it is a plesure to work with you, and good experience for me.
P.S. Забрал фотку на однокласники

Taras did a great job with our wedding! He is the perfect choice. :)
Yesterday I have got a package…I always feel excited when I get packages!
And this time it was special box from my favorite print company – ProlabExpress
Melissa surprised me with “Thank you card” and cute gift.
I use ProlabExpress as my primary print company since I start my photography business and I love their work!!! One of my works which win a competition was printed in ProlabExpress.
In other news, yesterday my friends and I attended Opera Show in UB Center for the Arts. It was amazing- the music, the costumes, the voice……I love opera!
This post is about poto reportage form last weekend. We went to Toronto to capture Birthday of my goddaughter. I can not believe she is 5 years old now. Time flies fast.
I can say it was fun to see cute and happy faces around
