Client Reviews

Irena and Yev photographed our wedding at Shugborough Estate and we are absolutely overwhelmed by the results. From the moment we first spoke, they made us feel completely at ease — they took the time to understand what was important to us and then delivered beyond anything we had imagined.

On the day itself, they were present everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. They caught every meaningful glance, every happy tear, every spontaneous laugh. Our guests kept saying what a wonderful energy they brought to the day.

Our gallery arrived three weeks later and we have genuinely not stopped looking at it since. Every single image is stunning. We cannot recommend I&Y Photography highly enough.

We have three children under six, and I genuinely wasn't sure a family photoshoot was even possible. Irena and Yev completely changed my mind. They arrived with such warmth and patience — within ten minutes my youngest (who refuses to smile for ANY camera) was giggling and actually enjoying herself.

They somehow captured all five of us looking natural, connected, and happy at the same time — which feels like an absolute miracle. The photos are beautiful, timeless, and completely 'us'. We've already booked again for next year.

I was 32 weeks pregnant and feeling enormous and ungainly. The last thing I wanted was to be photographed. But my best friend had used I&Y and practically insisted I book them — and I am so grateful she did.

From the first email exchange, Irena made me feel like I was going to be in safe hands. She discussed outfits, locations, what to expect. On the day, she made me feel genuinely beautiful — not posed or fake, just myself at this extraordinary moment in life.

The images are breathtaking. Soft, luminous, and deeply tender. I have one framed in the nursery. It's the first thing I see every morning and it still makes my breath catch.

We had a small registry office wedding — just close family, very intimate. We weren't sure whether to bother with a photographer at all, but we decided to treat ourselves and book I&Y for a couple of hours.

It was one of the best decisions we made. Yev was brilliant — unobtrusive during the ceremony, then incredibly creative and fun for our couple portraits afterwards. He had us laughing the whole time, and the images show that completely. Natural, joyful, beautiful.

For anyone considering a small or simple ceremony: absolutely do not skip the photographer. These images will matter more than you can imagine, and I&Y will make them extraordinary.

I run a small interior design business and had been using the same awkward phone selfie as my profile picture for three years. Finally booking a brand session with I&Y was genuinely transformative — both for my business and my confidence.

Irena spent time before the shoot really understanding my brand aesthetic and what I wanted to convey. On the day, she had a clear shot list but kept everything feeling relaxed and natural. I'm not a natural in front of the camera at all, but she guided me so well that I barely noticed she was taking photos.

I now have a library of beautiful, cohesive images I use everywhere — LinkedIn, Instagram, my website, press features. The response from clients has been remarkable. Highly, highly recommend.
