NJ WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

TIMELESS, ROMANTIC, FUN are the words I use to describe my photos. And also ORGANIC (but not the one without pesticides…but let’s be real, I actually also don’t show up with pesticides on your wedding day… that would be weird…and probably dangerous….) anyways!!! I let the real moments happen while also helping create beautiful and meaningful moments on your wedding day! I tell you what to do when in the moments when it’s appropriate, and I let you guys be and ENJOY your special day on the most parts of the wedding day. I appreciates true emotions and record genuine interactions all throughout a wedding day. Most on my clients comment that I captured the moments that they didn’t even realized happened. My editing approach is ‘true to tone’ or ‘true to life’ with hints of ‘light and airy’ photos. I want you to look back at your wedding day 30 years later and love your wedding photos then as much as you will love them now.

“If you are looking for amazing photos, a positive and relaxed planning experience and the best energy on your wedding day then Yana Shellman is your answer. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Yana! First she has the brightest and most positive energy and every time you speak with her she will energize you and excite you for your big day. Second she is a trooper, i really wanted our photos outside but it was freezing, snowing and super windy and Yana made it happen. She is also extremely detailed oriented and provides a wonderful sense of calm to a crazy morning by taking all the concern out of making sure you get all the pictures you want. Her work speaks for itself, her photos are beautiful and perfectly capture the feelings we shared on our special day. You can’t go wrong hiring Yana on such an important day you will be happy you did.” Krysten+Arthur’s wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau

“Booking Yana as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made. From our initial consultation to the delivery of our gallery, Yana was sweet, organized and professional. At our engagement shoot, we got to know her and feel comfortable with her so by the time the wedding came, we were comfortable with her. She was so efficient at taking our photos and got all the shots we wanted, AND they came out better than we could have imagined. She is such a talented and kind person – I would definitely book her again.” – Amanda+Brian’s wedding at the Hamilton Manor

“To all brides-to-be:
Yana is seriously the sweetest, most talented, and up-beat photographer you could ever hire. Her kind and loving personality really shines through her photos. She made me feel extremely confident and has us laughing all day long. You can really tell how much she cares about her shots, and she was super quick to send us our full gallery! Yana perfectly captured our day, there wasn’t a single bad shot in a gallery of over 1500 photos. You can really feel how much love was in the air, not only in shots of my husband and I, but of our guests as well. I could not recommend her highly enough!” Stephanie+Mike’s wedding at the Sunste Ballroom

“I need to tell the world about the amazing experience I had with Yana Shellman as my wedding photographer. Normally, I am a casual photographer and am always the one taking pictures at events. So when I needed a photographer for my wedding, I was very anxious to find someone who would capture everything I would want and not miss a single detail. I found this reliability in Yana Shellman. Originally scheduled on May 1, 2021, we postponed due to COVID (which was a good decision as if we had continued, we would have not been allowed a dance floor) to August 14, 2021. We initially booked Yana Shellman in 2020 and knew from the first phone call that her fun personality and laughter put us at ease, especially my now husband who gets sick of photos very quickly. We had our engagement photos in September 2020 in LBI and solidified our opinion that we made the right call. Yana is amazing at making you laugh, feel comfortable, and have fun during photos. She even got many great shots of our dog, Lyla, and bunny, Thumper. Throughout the planning process, Yana was available for any questions including providing a photographer’s day timeline to help build my timeline based on. I never felt alone and knew I had an expert to turn to with any questions. On the wedding day, Yana was above excellent and I do not and will never regret putting our faith in her. Yana not only kept us laughing and smiling but did so herself on a 104-degree summer day. Our photos came out better than we could have ever dreamed and Yana made sure to capture all of our guests having a blast and all of the little details I worked so hard to create. I constantly see my wedding photos on my walls and family’s and instantly know how blessed I was to have met Yana. I cannot wait to work with her again in the future for family sessions. Thank you so much, Yana, from the bottom of my heart, for making our day extra magical and captured beautifully.” Alexa+Steven’s wedding at Luciens’ Manor
