Come say hi

Hey, I’m Yana — and this is Lathrop.

We’re the husband-and-wife team behind LY Photography Co. We’ll help you feel comfortable, look like yourselves, and enjoy your wedding without spending the day performing for a camera.

A little about us

Here’s a little about who we are.

Choosing your photographer is personal. You’re inviting us into the getting-ready room, the happy tears, the family dynamics, and all the little moments you may not even notice while they’re happening. I never want us to feel like two strangers who just showed up with cameras.

I love the people, details, and planning that go into a wedding. I’ll fix a flyaway, help with the timeline, and make sure you know what to do when we’re taking portraits.

Lathrop is my husband and creative partner. Before we built LY together, he led photo and video content for an Inc. 500 company, so he brings years of experience directing both photography and film.

On a wedding day, we stay in touch, help keep things moving, and photograph what is actually happening.

What it’s like to work with us.

Before the wedding, we’ll talk through the timeline and what matters most to you. You’ll know what to expect before we arrive.

01

You don’t need to know how to pose

I’ll give you clear direction when you need it, then step back when things are happening on their own.

02

We won’t take over the day

We’ll help keep things moving without turning your wedding into a photoshoot. You can spend the day with your people instead of thinking about us.

03

We’ll keep you informed

We communicate clearly, help with the timeline, and answer questions as they come up.
