This is such a beautiful album! Really does show the whole story and I love brides and grooms portraits.

I think that it is a little bit too much like a "painting", but this is only a matter of taste, of course.
It will depend also on the message for this marketing piece.
AnitaOctober 17th, 2008
I think this would definitely work as a marketing tool, but
I think for some people - they might want to see something a little bit more obvious alongside the image maybe?
Like Elena said, it's just a matter of taste.
It is a beautiful image that can stand alone too I think.

Thank you girls! Some time I have very spontaneous ideas and at this time your advice is very helpful!
Suzanne BocekOctober 18th, 2008
I love it... it is mysterious and true to your style of art. There are plenty of customers out there that want that something different... I did... that is why I chose yuka...

:) Never ceases to make me take a second look! I say go for it... I LIKE that it looks like a painting. Very unique, very awesome!

i absolutely agree! holy cow that's an amazing shot!
I am so happy, I’ve got permission to post these beautiful photos from unforgettable wedding !
Luwam and Samuel, I can not stop to say “Thank you”! We had such a blast photographing your Wedding day.
While Lyosha and Alexander photographed Samuel’ getting ready, Tatiana and I met Luwam in Iconz Hair Designs salon at 7-30 a.m. That beautiful day started with smiles.
Luwam’s dress was gorgeous!
They are one of the most beautiful couple I ever seen!!!
One of my favorite…
From the church. I love how the light reflects on their faces!
On the second day they were in gorgeous traditional dresses.
A beautiful bridesmaids amazed us every day with new stunning hairstyles and dresses.
Kids are always so funny. They were near us all the time and as soon as we started taking pictures, these little ones posed like professional models on the red carpet. But most interesting happened when we allowed them to be a photographers….

Wonderfully original photos taken by artistic photographers.
It is a great keepsake for your the most important day of your joined lives.
The best to you both!
I haven’t posted in a while…. We’re simply shooting a lot right now, and I haven’t had time to share much of the work we do.
Last weekend was unbelievable! We captured one of the most beautiful traditional wedding – Eritrean wedding. Luwam and Samuel celebrated their wedding for two days. First day was more classic wedding with the brides white dress and grooms tuxedo. Second day was traditional Eritrean fashion, when everyone was dressed in traditional dresses, even kids.
Luwam and Samuel…Thank you so much for trusting us to capture such a beautiful and important day in your life! We had a fabulous time around you, your family and guests!!!
My biggest impression was – that everybody was smiling during every dance. It was such joy to see something like that. I saw true happiness on faces of dancing people and I am sure it was from inside.
Special thank you for new experience - Eritrean food (so delicious!!! ), musicians, dancers (it was hard not to move during the fiery drum grooves), traditional drink :-), perfect coffee!!!
And THANK YOU very much to Tatiana and Alexander for the help, who were the second photographers for this event.
As per contract we are not allowed to upload photos (hopefully we will get the permition….)
I am ready to share with you Chris and Suzanne’s wedding photos. What an absolutely fabulous day!!! Full of emotions, romance, joy, surprises and touching toasts. One of the things which really touched me – it was said that “Chris knows the art of life. He loves to travel and discover new places and he opened a whole new world for Suzanne. Suzanne is the person who knows art of love. She brings them both back. Suzanne gives to Chris that warm and cozy feeling of being at home…” They simply complete each other and together they have so much fun. Wow! When you hear something like that you understand that there is something magical is happening right now, right at this moment. And you want to cry, tears of joy and happiness wanted to come out- that how I felt when I was there.
Thank you Suzanne and Chris, It was such a honor to be part of your wedding day!
I listen CD with your favorite songs – it makes me think about you guys. Using music it was really great idea to share with us a part of your soul. And your pictures on the table from different parts of the world were really cool idea.
I love everything about these small details you created for your wedding.
Have a blast in Hawaii’s!!!!!

There were a bunch in the slideshow that I really liked a lot. The one of her smiling after the guys toasting. The low angle from the back of the church is nice too. But I really love the first one looking down on them right before the B&W group shot. It is by far my fav.
Paola UrreaAugust 31st, 2008
I am so happy for you guys, even when we only met last winter, and we are in Chile now, We are so happy, the pictures are extremely good, so nice, but I missed MANDY, where is she?...

Being an artist I wanted a photographer that gave you "that feeling" when one looked at their work. I searched and searched. So many other photographers' photos looked anonymous... generic... lifeless. Not the case with Yuka. I could not be happier with my photo's so far. Yuka has captured our souls, the essence of who we are. Each photo is saturated with emotion, meaning, and life. The compositions are also very complex and interesting. Yuliya and Lyosha are truly gifted artists. I feel so honored to have had Yuka shoot my wedding and engagemant. I can only imagine viewing these photographs twenty years from now with perhaps my own children ... and I know that these beautiful photo's will still tell the true story of our love. Thank you Yuliya and Lyosha for conveying so beautifully who we really are and giving us such a treasure. Chris and I thought you were wonderful to work with... we had such fun!
leita and Justin … beauty and strength, bride and groom…..
Their wedding was so intimate. It’s looked like they escaped from their world and their reality.
Leita and Justin arrived from Virginia for their Wedding day and next morning they were gone, on the way to home. We met very early to capture pre-wedding photos and there i realized what a great decision it was! I love when couple sees each other before the ceremony. It makes the day less stressful and pictures more natural. The weather was wonderful and we took several pictures near the botanical garden and then we moved towards to Barton Hill hotel in Lewiston.
This place is just gorgeous. Every detail of interior speaks about the history and artistic taste.
Justin and Leita, thank you so much for inviting us to share your beautiful day. Please accept our biggest congratulations to the two of you and your families!
