Wedding photography is a family heirloom to be treasured and passed down through the generations. It is a great responsibility to photograph your wedding and one that I am honored that you are considering me for. Weddings are fun, hectic, sometimes chaotic days, filled with laughs, tears of joy, and a celebration of lifelong love. I will be with you from the start of your wedding planning process and after. While many of the vendors you pick you will only interact with just once or twice until the wedding day, your photographer is your partner both before and after the wedding. Contact us to learn more about our exceptional service team.

We hired Shutter Speak for our wedding and it was the perfect choice. Joe was professional and very detail oriented. He took a mixture of posed and candid shots, some color and some black-and-white. He worked particularly well with the children ("say pizza!") and we have some terrific pictures of them dancing and having fun. At the end, he created a beautiful photo slideshow that I was able to share on Facebook, as well as wedding albums we and our family will be able to treasure for years to come. I highly recommend Shutter Speak!

We absolutely loved Bakers Ranch. We fell in love with the venue as soon as we toured it and immediately signed our contract to have our wedding there. The entire staff was amazing in helping us plan everything and making the actual wedding day go super smooth. They kept us on track and made sure everything came out exactly as we envisioned it. Missy & Cheyenne were the best wedding helpers we could’ve asked for & helped make our vision come alive. So much of the stress you hear about coming with a wedding was alleviated from us having it at Bakers Ranch.

Gloria was amazing! Not only did she create such beautiful photos for us (both engagement shot and wedding day gallery) she is such a lovely personality to have with you on your wedding day! The engagement shoot was great- she made us really comfortable and she got such beautiful photos! The day of the wedding we had a second shooter (Sam) who got such great candid background shots to add to the spectacular gallery Gloria shot! The team managed to catch every important moment and I will cherish these photos forever! Side note- Gloria saved the day when we lost hook for my bustle within the folds of my wedding dress, she stepped in and immediately solved the problem. I will be grateful for both Gloria and Sam every time I look at these photos!

I'll never forget how delighted my daughter was when she had a first look at the floral arrangements and tables for her wedding reception that Michelle Borrero with Precious Moments Events and her team had designed. Every detail was perfect! The roses lining the aisle on the lawn when the bride walked in were gorgeous as well. The prettiest roses I ever saw! I had been worried about the availability of flowers for a January wedding yet Michelle found large, white roses and blue hydrangea. I'm so glad we had Michelle arranging the wedding for us! She gave me some advice that saved us some money. She was always there for us when we had a question. On the wedding day, she kept everything so organized that I wasn't nervous at all. Everything went smoothly! We received many, many compliments from wedding guests!

Emma-Rose is a true artist and has a better eye than any photographer I've ever met before. I am so blown away by how gorgeous our wedding photos are and can't believe that is really us in those beautiful pictures, as they look like a magazine shoot. Emma-Rose literally manages to be everywhere and captures every image and magical moment ... she'll stand on chairs, climb on rocks, go in the ocean - whatever is necessary to get that perfect shot. Along with her talent, she is so darn fun to be around and made taking photos really enjoyable even during our wedding reception. She captured the love between me and my husband and encouraged us to show our devotion to the world. I'll be forever grateful that we'll always have Emma-Rose's photos to immortalize our special day.

Queendoc is such a viiiiibe. From the first phone meeting she was my hype girl. She was just as excited about our big day as us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and it showed during the whole wedding. My husband and I kept looking at each other and asking "did you add this song?" because every single song she played was so US. The perfect playlist for the perfect day. She hyped up the crowd and got people dancing. People I didn't even know danced, danced and loved every moment. If you want variety, someone who is sweet and loves her job book her NOW. We would book her again 100%! Make sure she is part of your special day because she will make it THE BEST DAY EVER!

Let’s get to know each other! 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Brittany — and I’m so excited you’re here! First of all, thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day. With over 10 years of experience in wedding planning and design, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. When I’m not coordinating timelines or fluffing veils, you’ll find me soaking up the sun ☀️, sipping on coffee ☕, or spending time with my crew — my husband of 7 years, our two amazing kids and our two pups, Bear and Boone.

Brittany was an awesome day-of coordinator! If we had to go back and do it again, Brittany would be one of the first people we would call. She brought a much needed calm, conscientious, and confident presence to give us the perfect day. She was around every step of the way to understand the big-picture and minute-by-minute logistics. She helped us create our timeline, wrangle and align all the vendors, and stayed in close contact with everybody to keep the event going the exact way we imagined. When small issues would emerge, she handled them with ease and speed. When we ran behind schedule, she was reassuring and did a great job helping us prioritize what we needed to do. She was also incredibly hospitable and thoughtful – she even brought us a plate of appetizers since we were doing photos during our cocktail hour! The last thing I wanted to say is that Brittany was actually our SECOND day-of coordinator, because we had to fire our first one. Maybe that means we have high standards? I don’t know. But, if we do, Brittany certainly exceeded them. She gave us tremendous confidence in her and her ability to carry out our event throughout the entire process. -Zak and Hannah

While my background initially led me down a path in Financial Compliance, my true calling was always in the realm of art and creativity. I love every aspect of photography, from meeting you and capturing your happiest moments to the post-processing stage. I have been photographing families and new mothers primarily. However, I have discovered that I love photographing weddings just as much! I would love to capture your perfect moments that will be remembered forever.

Yuliya Fox Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Yuliya contacted us before our ceremony to ask what pictures did we want taken and any special requests, which was very nice of her to introduce herself beforehand and let us know what to expect. Yuliya was very professional and kind, and her work reflects that. We had a beach wedding and it was very hot that day, but Yuliya and her crew acted as if it was just another comfortable day of awesome work. During the ceremony we never even noticed her, but she took the most amazing, detailed photos of us and our family, even our officiant! I would definitely recommend Yuliya to anyone who is looking for a skilled photographer. She made our memories of our wedding day that much more special.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't even begin to express how in awe I am of our wedding day photos. Bethany and John have beautifully captured one of me and my husband's core memories. Our photos are light, dreamy, radiant and colorful - candid, posed and fun, at all the best and most flattering angles - everything I was looking for when searching for a photography team. At a personal level, Bethany and John are the most kind hearted souls. We felt so comfortable with them, cared for, and looked out after. For example, we had some family members try to input themselves into what was supposed to be me and my husband's special moments, and John and Bethany politely stepped in and took care of it, with grace and confidence. I so appreciated John for paying close attention to details - he would fix a fly away hair, ask me to sit up a little straighter, or adjust my arm in a more flattering way. The both of them can just so wonderfully read a room and the people in it. I never had to ask them of anything, they can just sense and spot a special moment. Bethany is so organized and her timeline, ideas, and plan were so carefully and thoughtfully played out! For someone who can be quite meticulous and analytical times, I'm as happy as can be and overly satisfied.. We now have the most beautiful engagement session photos and wedding day photos I could have ever asked for. We can't wait for family photos with Bethjoy when we add a little one to our lives! Thank you Bethany and John, for the best keepsakes, and for being you!
