Yanira Scalise

Owner

I'm a California girl born and raised! I've been an artist ever since I can remember... I found my passion in photography until I started taking photos of my boys. I've been a photographer for 10 years now and I feel so grateful to be sharing my gift with every bride I meet. I know photos can be intimidating but I think my relaxed personality helps my clients be at ease during photos. Little bit about me: I enjoy hot yoga, eating healthy and a good cup of coffee.

We originally contacted Yanira for our engagement pictures. Setting up the location and time was a breeze thanks to her prompt responsiveness. Yanira was on time and ready to get d...

own to business as soon as we arrived to the destination. During our engagement session, she made my fiancé and me feel comfortable in front of the camera and we really felt like she got who we were as a couple. We had a few ideas of what we wanted her to capture and she totally listened to what we wanted and captured amazing images. Yanira was able to get a few sneak peak images to us and as soon as we saw those we knew we had to book her for our wedding as well! Just as expected, our experience with Yanira and her work during our wedding exceeded what we could have ever imagined. She knew exactly what we wanted her to capture and every time we look at our pictures, it’s like we’re there all over again. Thank you for all your hard work, your passion for what you do really comes across in every image you take.

I’ve actually worked with Yanira a couple of times. I’m a makeup artist and it is a privilege watching her work and working with her. She is so professional in how she communicate...

s back-and-forth with all of the details and in connecting all of the moving parts together for a seamless wedding day. I have worked with many wedding photographers and I can say that Yanira Moves through the day calmly and kindly. Many other photographers can be stressed can step on the toes of other wedding vendors and not be as respectful as one should, but Yanira treats everyone with grace and professionalism.

d the emotion of the moment was so well captured, that we knew this was what we wanted for our wedding. And she delivered more than we could've hope for! We were pretty late with booking her, but from the beginning she was super friendly and helpful. She made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and had great ideas for good locations for photos and the results were spectacular! The next day already she sent us sneak-peek photos which were amazing and beautifully edited. We couldn't believe it was us on the photos, in the best possible way! Such a nice memory of this special day for us. Yanira went more than the extra mile for us and we will definitely work with her again and definitely recommend working with her to anyone!

After meeting with a few wedding photographers, I knew that Yanira was THE one I wanted. From the moment we meet, she was very professional, but what sealed the deal was how sweet ...

& caring she was. I wasn’t just another client to her. I truly felt like she cared about my BIG day!! In the weeks leading up to my wedding day, we spoke & text often and she was very genuine & informative. She would answer all my questions & concerns. Yanira photographed 3 straight days for us (fri - rehearsal dinner; Sat - wedding; Sun - family brunch) and her work ethic was stellar all 3 days. We received our online gallery within reasonable time, and let me tell you her work blew me away. She knew how to capture the most intimate moments with my husband and I. As well as the fun stuff at the reception! Looking back on this entire experience with her, I’m so grateful I chose Yanira. I highly recommend her not only for her incredible work, but especially for how kind & professional she is. Photos are the most precious memories to have, and my heart so happy with our photos from our wedding day.

ront of the camera from the get-go. You can tell her heart is to capture sweet moments and memories with your loved ones and not all business. However, she is a professional through and through and works hard to get your pictures to you especially when YOU have a deadline! AAAH! I’m still OBSESSED with my pictures and still trying to find room in my house to add more pictures! Absolutely loved her and her work!

e was exactly what we were looking for. Yanira was so amazing to work with, from the engagement session all the way through to the end of the wedding. She was super professional, got along so easily with our wedding party & family, and did such a fantastic job with our photos. I barely even noticed her on the day of the wedding. Yanira is so talented at what she does, and she makes everyone she works with feel comfortable & at ease. We would highly recommend her to any couples that want a fun, laid-back, all-around awesome person to shoot their wedding.

Yanira consistently went out of her way to make sure I was satisfied and pleased with everything during my big day, and afterwards. I am so grateful Yanira was there literally the ...

entire day from 9am-10pm. She is a shining example of professionalism and creativity. Every image of our wedding jumps off the page, as if coming to life. Yanira has a way of blending the authenticity and "realness" of people with magical auras. Lastly, within two minutes of meeting Yanira you know she truly cares about you and your event, and will be there to not only capture your day, but to celebrate in it with you. That is special and unique. I love everything that is Yanira Scalise Photography. She is a rare gem. I would definitely work with her again in the future (family portraits), and I recommend her for anyone out there who wants to be wowed by their wedding photos!
