Dear Yael,

it was a great pleasure, a fantastic experience, and great fun to have you as our wedding photographer. Communicating with you was very easy and also the integration of our wishes and ideas was never a problem.

We also appreciated your creative and professional way of setting us and our son in a perfect light and position and we love the result of so many pictures you took from us in the stunning nature of Iceland. The price for the whole package was fair from our point but the most important thing for us was that it felt like being together with good friends! It was amazing and a day we'll never forget!

Yael was a real pleasure to work with. She was super helpful in identifying scenic locations despite unpredictable weather conditions and put a lot of thought and care into planning the shoot to fit what I needed.

Yael has the most exciting eye for photoshoots that I've ever seen! Her works are unique, different from everyone I know, and filled with emotion. I was following her on Instagram for a long time because her work was always astonishing for me.

She took good care of us and from the first moment, I felt that she was very professional and experienced. She knew and planned everything she was doing. From the moodboard at the beginning, she understood our taste until the small details of the wedding.

We met a day before to plan the big day and choose the best locations for the photoshoot. On the day itself, she was always there for us but at the same time, my husband's family didn't want to have any interruptions so we didn't feel her at all. She made us feel as if she was in the background. Everything was natural.
At the same time, she was almost like my bridesmaid helping me carry stuff, laughing, and thinking outside the box about how she could help.

And the most important thing is that she made us look like not more than king and queen. Every photo is like an art piece. Highly recommend!

We received the full picture gallery and WOW! Josh and I are sitting here going through the photos, and we cannot thank you enough for capturing these beautiful moments during our wedding day. I have tears rolling down my cheeks. I am blown away by these images, they're SO beautiful. And of course, the whole day was beyond all our expectations. THANK YOU!

Lilly and Josh

I highly recommend using Yael for your next photoshoot!! Not only does she capture the incredible moments, she is a pleasure to work with. She was so helpful with planning my surprise proposal & super responsive to any questions I had. My fiancé & I couldn't be happier with the results of our photoshoot & the drone video Carlos put together. We can't thank you both enough! All the best!

Yael is an incredible photographer!! She captured my fiancé and I’s proposal flawlessly. Leading up to the day, she gave me recommendations for locations and posed as a tour guide the day of to make sure it was a surprise. It was incredible!! She even got my fiancé to talk about our first date on the way to the proposal spot - it was so sweet and my fiancé didn’t see it coming!

We did an engagement shoot right afterwards and Yael was great to work with. My fiancé and I loved it!!

Yael turned around a few photos the same day so that we could share with our family and friends. The photos were magical.

I highly recommend Yael to anyone needing wedding, engagement, or proposal pictures. You can tell she cares about the people she works with and does a great job blending the personality of the couple with her own incredible style.

Yael was booked on relatively short notice for my surprise proposal shoot in the Golden Circle. Her services went above and beyond in every way. From her communication, to her professionalism, to her understanding of changing circumstances, to her fast turnaround, my fiancé and I could not be happier.

One extremely helpful thing Yael did for us was actually help to pick a proper location! I had suggested a few different waterfalls for the location based on some research online, but she thought from the perspective of a photographer and thought to suggest a lesser known but equally beautiful location for the purposes of privacy. I think it was perfect and exactly what we had always hoped for!

I think the best part of our experience with Yael was her demeanor. Before, during, and after the shoot she was so friendly and really added to the vibe of a heartfelt proposal. Her editing style is exactly the punchy but realistic tone that I personally love.

Couple eloping in Snæfellsnes, Iceland – dramatic winter landscape with mountains and open terrain

Snæfellsnes Elopement | Wild Icelandic Winter Wedding

He moves ahead, steady and certain, the wind pulling at his coat. She follows, her dress catching on the frozen earth, each step deliberate yet weightless. The vastness of Snæfellsnes stretches around them - snow-dusted fields, mountains carved by time, a sky shifting with the wind. No path, no script, just the quiet understanding between them, written in the space between each footstep. She’s not behind; she’s with him, in a world that belongs only to them.
