Iryna Shostak Photography

I'm Iryna Shostak and I'm a wedding photographer serving The Greater Philadelphia Area and New Jersey. I create timeless and elegant wedding imagery. I specialize in custom printed art and heirloom albums.

If you prefer contact-rich and colorful to 'washed-out' pastel or monochromatic image then my dramatic photography style and true to color retouching will please you. You want your grandkids to look at your ageless wedding album, not a funny photo filter that was popular at one time.

With your wedding portraits, you will stop people scrolling and make other brides add your wedding images to their Pinterest board.

My photographs become your family legacy and the gift that keeps on giving.

I worked as a wedding photographer at top venues and museums in Philadelphia and New Jersey, castles in New York, vineyards in Pennsylvania, beach vacation rentals along Jersey Shore, and golf country clubs in South Jersey.

I photographed multicultural wedding ceremonies: Jewish, South Asian, Indian, Christian, Chinese, Ukrainian Russian, Polish, Italian.

I can create wedding portraits at any location and light conditions, with natural light or off-camera flash.

My talent is to see the beauty in everyday things, my knowledge of photography and art, my technical skills and apprehension of light, my mastery in pleasing the most demanding couples help me to be the perfect photographer for your wedding. You'll be glad you hired me for your wedding? And so will your family and friends! It's a guarantee!

Wedding photography to me is about these important things:

Connection

Showing deep relationships in photos is one of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer. I am always looking to create photos for my clients that will evoke special memories of their wedding day for decades to come.

My style is best suited for couples who are willing to spend a few hours on their wedding day to create these beautiful, timeless and romantic photos that show this special connection.

I LOVE couples that want to go to multiple locations and really maximize their investment in their wedding photography.

Details

I know that every element of your wedding was chosen with care, so I want to show the beauty in the fine details of your day. I carefully use lenses that will bring out the best angles in the photos I take.

I use telephoto lenses whenever possible for portraits to create dramatic backgrounds and I use macro lenses that show every facet of the ring. My experience as a teacher in Ukraine means that I know that the devil is in the details, so I am very organized in my approach to your day.

I can wrangle big groups of people with ease, and I make sure no detail is missed!

Light

For centuries, light has inspired artists. It’s always important, and I am continually seeking new ways to utilize it at weddings. The art of wedding photography depends on the photographer's understanding of how the light will impact a scene.

Whether I am using natural light to enhance a photo or if I am setting up carefully controlled lighting situations such as a night portrait my goal is always the same; to create a photo for you that you will consider magazine-worthy, fresh, and artistic.

If you are seeing a photographer with a clean, modern, artistic style, who gives high attention to details and outstanding customer experience, please get in touch! I would be so honored to be considered to photograph your day.
