We’re so happy we chose Lathrop & Yana to photograph our wedding day. They managed to capture just how it felt fun, emotional, and full of love. The photos have feeling and movemen...

t, exactly what we wanted. They caught all the little moments that made the day special, even the ones we didn’t realize were happening. They were easy to work with, made us feel comfortable, and helped keep things moving without adding any stress. We’ve looked through the gallery so many times already, and each time it brings back all the feelings of the day. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, thoughtful, really knows how to tell a story through photos, and cares about your photos just as much as you do!

emotion of the day. One of my favorite moments was the first look with my dad and my brother. Yana and Lathrop perfectly captured their genuine emotions, and those photos are now some of my most cherished memories. Beyond the incredible photography, Yana went above and beyond in helping us navigate the venue, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which was such a thoughtful touch. They are not just talented photographers—they are truly amazing people to work with. If you're looking for a photographer who will capture every precious moment with care and professionalism, LYPhotographyCo is the way to go!

y first consultation to the final photo delivery, their work is nothing short of amazing. The photos they take are breathtaking, perfectly capturing the essence and emotions of the day. What truly sets LY Photography apart is their ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small feat! Most of us feel awkward when the camera is on us, but with LY Photography, they create such a fun and relaxed atmosphere that you forget you're even being photographed. Their easy-going yet professional approach puts you at ease immediately, making the entire process enjoyable rather than stressful. On our wedding day, they spent the whole day with us, ensuring that no moment, big or small, was missed. They were there for every laugh, every tear, and every special moment, blending into the day effortlessly, yet capturing it all with incredible precision. They made the experience so exciting and fun that we couldn’t wait for the next set of photos. It wasn’t just about the pictures—it was about making memories that would last forever, and LY Photography excelled in that. I can't recommend LY Photography enough. If you want photographers who are talented, professional, and makes your special day even more amazing, look no further! You’ll be in great hands. 1000/10.

ld use them again. LYPhotography was my wedding videographer, and also my photographer for bridals. They are such a joy to work with. Lathrop and Yana provide wonderful guidance and a good laugh as well. I really appreciate their intent to capture the moment itself rather than consistent posing. Their attention to detail is unmatched. The photos speak for themselves! I am so impressed with all of the work they have provided, all of the small details they include in their work, and their overall care and professionalism. I cannot recommend them enough and cannot wait to book another session!
