About Jessica Yurko Photography

Jessica Yurko Photography

Photographer

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

As a shy human myself, it’s important to me to foster a safe space for ALL of your humanity. Whether you struggle to feel comfy in front of a camera or just aren’t sure how to talk to a stranger, I’ll do my best to help lighten the mood and maybe, just maybe, we’ll both make a new friend.

  • Jess Yurko is better than MAGIC

    Verified review
    •Nina C.•2 months ago

    Jessica Yurko was my favorite part of planning my wedding - no, I’m serious! January 2023 - we had just booked our venue and we were starting to look into other vendors. It was overwhelming and as a person with a lot of anxiety, the idea of reaching out to strangers was daunting to me. However, as I clicked through Jessica’s website, the anxiety started to ebb. I would later learn that every Jess says and does is embused with complete earnesty and passion, and without realizing it, that earnesty was reading loud on clear to me on her website. I reached out and sent her a long, rambly story about how I met and became engaged to my husband, and I’m almost certain I didn’t proofread it, so it was probably riddled with typos, and I hit send and started to hope that she had our date free and didn’t mind dealing with a tiny, crazy person. Jessica reached out and was immediately SO nice and kind and…well, excited to talk to me. We scheduled out first zoom and over the course of about an hour it felt like we became friends. We both showed off our dogs, talked about our favorite movies, made jokes, laughed at bad puns - and all of this while she was professionally explaining to me what the wedding photography process was like, what her packages entailed, and what to expect moving forward. The good feelings I had grew, and were clearly mutual and we had a contract out and signed without 24 hours. Leading up to the wedding, her communications were clear and everything she asked us to do made sense. She made sure our shot list was exactly what we wanted it to be, and even made suggestions based on her experience here or there. I had a few silly requests too which she took in stride and helped plan out to a T. On the day of the wedding she was EARLY. Early! The woman is magic, I swear. She immediately clicked with my bridesmaids and helped me make the day feel even more special for them (it was already super special for me - I was the bride!). She corralled us all and kept us on schedule while taking what turned out to be AMAZING shots. In wedding photos, you do a lot of looking at your loved ones and “laughing” - laughing is in quotes because it can feel awkward to force a laugh. But Jessica helped us really laugh and smile, and all the genuine affection my husband and I felt for each other and our wedding party really comes through in every photograph. I look at each photo and remember each moment, and I’m so glad we hired Jess to capture them. By the end of the night, my husband and I felt like she was our friend. And so did our friends! The bridesmaids were chatting her up all night. My cousins called me over to tell me they loved her - she’d given them some advice about what to do with their hands in a picture pose. When we got our pictures backed, in a little email with a subject line: smile mail!, I was once again reminded how lucky I felt to have worked with this woman. And you best believe that every time I have the chance, I will be recommending her services and seeking her out for my own needs every chance I get. Jessica Yurko, I love you!!

    Jessica is truly amazing!!!! Her professionalism, delightful personality, and remarkable skill brought immense joy to my husband and me. From the ease she created during our engagement photos to the warmth she infused into our wedding day, Jessica exceeded all expectations! She handled a rainy engagement photo day with magic and turned a winter wedding in NY into a heartwarming experience. Her ability to make everyone feel comfortable extended to our family, who couldn't stop praising our great fortune in choosing her as our photographer. Jessica quickly delivered our wedding sneak peek within a week and it truly was the cherry on top of an incredible experience. She genuinely captured the essence of our love-filled day, while additionally making us feel like total models! We absolutely can not wait for the rest of our photos to come in because we know they will be amazing! Thank you Jessica!

    Jessica was a phenomenal photographer! From our initial meeting, she was warm and friendly and we felt very comfortable with her. I was back and forth about where to do our first look and she was super helpful in trying to lock down my dream location and find alternatives. On the day of the wedding, she was on top of making sure everything ran smoothly and we got all of the photos we wanted. The photographer was the first vendor I made sure to book for our wedding as I was looking for a specific style, and Jessica delivered!
