I tell everyone, this is more than just getting some pictures taken. It's more than a "say cheeese" moment. It is every single precious moment bottled up and preserved, only to be opened again some months or years later, spread on the choicest of sourdough loaves and paired with an organic "farm fresh" butter, enjoyed with a cup of India's finest Masala Chai tea.
Now maybe it's not exactly quite like that but I like to think it is, that these memories can outlast you when they're documented this way. More than pictures, this is ART and the Artist knew what He was doing when He made you.
My name is Yanny (pronounced yaw - knee) and I'm a wedding, couples, and storytelling photographer in SWFL. Born and raised in the PNW I like to think that the moody and grey atmosphere from that world has found it's way into my photography style. Candid, raw, full of emotion, and photos that you can "feel" are what I live for!
My wife and I live in Sarasota FL with our sweet little boy Moses and our crazy cat Martini. We love the easy-going lifestyle on the gulf coast and whenever I'm free you can find me either exploring a new coffee shop, thrifting, serving at my local church, or spending quality time with my family.
I'm here to craft and capture the uniquely beautiful, and guess what...that's you! I approach every photo as a painting, a work of art. Even when it's candid and off-the-cuff, it is so intentional and significant! You deserve to feel seen and recall every raw emotion in your final gallery.
"Yanny is the one of the most kindest soul we have ever met. Made us very comfortable during our shoot! Will definitely shoot with him again! š«¶š»"
"My husband and I had the honor to have him as our photographer for multiple occasions. He has such a keen eye for details and capturing raw emotion. If you want your photos to capture a love story, book Yanny!!"
"Yanny is the most incredible photographer!! My husband & I eloped in the mountains of North Carolina, and Yanny captured the whole thing beautifully - showing all the love and emotion we felt that day. He has also become a wonderful friend, and I couldnāt recommend him enough! If you want photos with feeling, this is your guy!"
"When you dream up a photoshoot, Yanny brings it to life! Heās super creative, puts 100% into his work, and has a unique and beautiful perspective on his photos & editing style. Iād recommend him to anyone! He took our pregnancy announcements photos and so many more that we will cherish forever!"
