Hey! I’m a freelance wedding photographer with over five years of experience capturing love stories in a candid, editorial style.

The Y.K. Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Serves San Jose, CA

Hi, I’m Yana — the photographer behind The Y.K. Studio. With a background in fine art and documentary photography, I bring an intentional, editorial eye to your celebration day, balancing artistic composition with raw, honest storytelling. I will gently guide you in a way that feels authentic, allowing you to interact naturally and have the most joyful photographic experience.  Based in Pacifica but available all around the Bay Area and beyond.

We cannot recommend Yana enough. We are so thrilled with the photos we received and just overall experience. Feel free to read more of the nitty gritty below, but TL;DR: we would give her way more than 5/5 stars if we could. :) The Experience: Yana was so warm, communicative, and organized from the start. She quickly replied to my request for an engagement photoshoot and had a very organized/simple process for getting started. She helped us select the right location and also gave tons of tips/guidance on picking out some outfits, as well as some fun pose ideas! We were a bit nervous going into the shoot as we didn't want it to feel super rigid/awkward with very forced/posed shots, but that couldn't be farther from our experience; it felt like we were on a fun, playful date with someone there just capturing the moments. The Photos: Insane. Stunning. We can't get over them. As a hobbyist photographer myself, I'm honestly amazed by her obvious talent and artistic vision/style. Even her gallery delivery (the order/layout/design of the delivered photos) was clearly intentional and aesthetic. There are SO. MANY. great photos that we're honestly having a hard time picking which to use for wedding materials- which is an amazing problem to have!! I truly feel like she captured our love and spirit in these.

I'm Paris, a California wedding photographer creating timeless, editorial imagery for couples who value authenticity and refined storytelling. Inspired by fashion and film, I blend elegant portraits with genuine moments, capturing every celebration with intention and care. My approach is calm, personalized, and unobtrusive, allowing you to stay fully present while I preserve the details, emotions, and atmosphere that make your wedding uniquely yours.

We feel so lucky that Paris took our city hall ceremony photos. She's really friendly, gave great pose suggestions and made helpful adjustments, and knocked out a ton of beautiful shots in a short amount of time. Paris was also really patient with our families and good at gathering together/rallying everyone. She also understood the lighting of the space really well and timed certain shots accordingly (my husband says her photos are like art, I agree!) — and gave a quick turnaround on photos. Super talented; I hope we'll get to work with her again!

Andris did a truly incredible job shooting our intimate wedding at the Seattle courthouse in November. We cannot speak highly enough of the level of professionalism and coordination he provided our small group - from ensuring we arrived at the right time to capture the best possible light to making our typically photo-avoidant families comfortable and at ease. Our expectations of the photos we would get in a government building for a wedding ceremony were blown out of the water when we received our final gallery from Andris. He was a key part of our wedding day and we cannot thank him enough.

  • Serves San Jose, CA

I’m Peter, the guy behind Bedrosian Photo. I photograph weddings, people, parties, emotion, chaos, and all the weird little moments in between. I care way more about honesty than perfection — the nervous energy before a ceremony, your drunk uncle on the dance floor, your grandma crying quietly in the corner, or the split-second look your partner gives you when they think nobody’s watching. Those moments matter more than anything staged ever could.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond grateful for our experience with Peter. From the very first conversation, he was so easy to communicate with and truly understood our vision. On our wedding day, he not only captured every moment exactly how we imagined, but also brought such a calm and positive energy that made everything feel less stressful. His attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture genuine emotions made our photos absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to be part of our special day. I will be recommending him to everyone I know getting married! Book him now!

Chris Benavidez deserves a perfect five star rating - and deserves all the five star reviews he has received in the past and will receive in the future. Wedding photos are forever, and it's impressive how a one second press of the shutter can lead to a photo which expresses a lifetime of love, memories, celebration, and laughter. Chris makes sure to capture those moments. He is responsive, attentive, detail oriented, timely, and most of all, charismatic. He has an amazing personality and really wants what's best for the couple, and I believe that is expressed in the photos he creates. He will shoot in any location you wish, will take any angle of shot that you wish, and will make sure you are happy with the end result. And trust me, you will be! You know how you always look at your grandparents wedding photos or your parents' wedding photos, or even a friends wedding photos and say "wow thats a good picture"? You will get a thousand of those good pictures with Chris. He will create a set of photos that perfectly captures your special day, and you shouldn't look elsewhere for a photographer. Oh! And he gets on the dance floor with the couple to capture those great moments where everyone is celebrating your love haha! Choose CH Photography and don't think twice about it. He is incredible.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Hi, I’m Blythe! I’m a wedding, couples, and portrait photographer based between San Francisco and Atlanta, always happy to meet somewhere in between—or far beyond. For over eight years, I’ve been following what I love: turning the people, moments, and stories in front of me into something tangible. I’m known for having a calming presence, and I want you to feel comfortable, have fun, and be completely yourself while trusting me to do my thing. I still get genuinely excited when we get the shot. At the end of the day, that’s what keeps me coming back—turning a little piece of your life into something you can hold onto.

From our first conversation with Blythe Lindsey Photography, we knew we had found the right fit for our wedding day. She was easy to reach, answered all of our questions, and made us feel heard throughout the planning process. The booking process was a breeze and the planning was so easy. On the day itself, Blythe blended seamlessly into our celebration—she captured the most stunning and emotional moments that we didn't even know we needed. The day was a breeze. Her photos are whimsical and imaginative, full of beauty that feels true to who we are as a couple. We received images that perfectly tell the story of our day, and we couldn't be happier with her work. If you're looking for a photographer who is both professional and easy to work with, Blythe is the one. We are so happy with the pictures and could not reccomend her more!
