South Jersey & Philadelphia Wedding Photographer
Yana was a dream to work with- incredibly warm and friendly and has a true eye for catching special moments. The morning of our wedding was hectic (and sweltering hot) and Yana did not skip a beat- she worked so hard to make sure that my husband and I (and all of our family!) were happy and comfortable. The results were absolutely beautiful- my husband is a photographer himself and said that there was no way he could have captured all of the details and special moments that she did. Truly thrilled and would HIGHLY recommend! ~ Megan+John
The moments Yana captured were beautiful, heartfelt, stunning…. we LOVE every single one!! THANK YOU so very very much for doing such an amazing job and being so much fun and so easy to work with! Everyone commented on how amazingly sweet Yana is and how she just never stopped moving for a minute – like the energizer bunny!!! Yana truly is an artist and words can’t thank her enough for being such an important part of our wedding day… THANK YOU!!!!! Look forward to printing everything out and share her AWESOME work with all of our friends and family!!! ~ Andrea+Scott
The pictures are AMAZING!!! Thank you so so much!!! I can’t stop looking through them! ~ Amanda+Andrew
I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have Yana be a part of our most special day. Her work was phenominal, her personality was gracious and caring and her timing was impecable. She capture moments we didn’t even know were there. She was very easy to work with and you will not go wrong in choosing her for any of life’s moments you wish to save. As my wife says… In a word She was just AWESOME and our photographer for life. ~ Steve+Valerie
Yana made our elopement special. She was a photographer a witness and the most complimentary woman a girl could ever ask for. Our pictures are amazing. The experience was the best ever and the value was perfect. She was so accommodating and for our intimate event it was the best thing we did. We have looked at our pictures daily and enjoy them so much. We hope to have another session some day when our new marriage grows into a family! ~Angela+Jon
Yana did such an outstanding job at our wedding. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more – she was prompt (early, in fact), bubbly, easy and fun to work with, responded quickly to our requests…and the photos! Oh my goodness they are beautiful. I have never liked having my photo taken and was very concerned about looking foolish in them. Needless to say, she managed to make everyone look amazing. We are so happy we chose Yana to share our special day!! ~ Katie+Ben
Yana Shellman saved our day!! We only met her 4 days before our wedding. We only spoke on the phone before our wedding. Answered all my questions before I asked them. She calmed me down and assured me everything would be OK. And it was. She is absolutely amazing! She did everything we asked. Her work is simply breath taking. Our pictures came out better than we could ever imagine. We are so lucky to have had her be there on our special day capturing those moments. her assistant was amazing as well. Everyone loves our pictures. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else taking our pictures. We seen all of our pictures a Month after our wedding. She doesn’t waste any time. I expected to wait at least 3 months.but not with yana. I would recommend her in a heart beat! ~ Rachel+Rick
I cannot start describing how much I enjoyed working with Yana. First of all her personality is more than perfect. She was probably the nicest one at the wedding and was sharing the joy with us. She was really easy to talk to and discuss things before the day as well as on the day of our wedding. She made the day go by really smooth and there was no frustrations or complains from me (the bride) or the groom on such a busy day like the wedding. All the requests we had for her were done exactly the way we wanted. What I found most amazing was that she was okay with coming to our place at 7 in the morning, even though the drive for her was more than 2 hours. Our wedding was also in January and that Saturday was probably the coldest one and there was snow laying everywhere. We wanted to have pictures done first thing in the morning. The temperature was 27* F. I could see how Yana’s fingers were falling off from the freezing wind, but she did not complain and stayed outside for the whole time and did an amazing photo shoot. In the winter there’s not much of a scenery outside, but she would find places that in the end looked amazing on pictures. She captured the best moments at the wedding and was always on her feet, running, trying not to miss anything important. We have pictures from the wedding hanging on our walls and all the guests that come over always compliment on the quality of the photos. Yana really put her heart and soul in satisfying us that day. If I will have another event in my life that will require a professional photographer, Yana would definitely be my number one option. ~ Angelina+Alex
Beautiful photographs really Yana went above and beyond with our photos! Thank you so much for the beautiful photography! You can see them on her facebook page! Excellent Job Yana!!!!~ Christina+Alex
I was very impressed by the quality of Yana’s work at the wedding and the photos that we got afterwards. She is very friendly and enjoyable person to work with. I love our wedding pictures and really like to show people her work. She did an excellent job at the wedding and made everything for us to enjoy the photo shoot. Everything that I wanted was captured during the ceremony and the reception. I believe she’s that kind of a person that would satisfy anyone with her amazing personality and professional skills.~ Aleksey+Angelina
As I look back to our wedding celebration, I truly believe it wouldn’t be complete without our diligent photographer, Yana Shellman. All the pictures that she took of us, were creative and unique. I remember, how she created a slideshow for guests to look at, while we were in the restaurant. Each person who walked out, saw a beautiful slideshow with pictures which were taken couple hours ago. I am truly amazed how this photographer manages to capture most enjoyable, beautiful memories that will last for a lifetime. I recommend Yana to my friends and family. Yana, thank you for your creative photography skills, as well as for your very positive attitude, you are the best!!!~ Ben+Katie

Our wedding was that of an elopement. Finding a photographer for this such case was nearly impossible. Yana listened to what our situation was, the needs and requests we were making, and projected us in the most beautiful, professional portraits. We highly recommend you at least consider her as an option for your photographic needs. You will be well pleased!~ Jon+Angie
