In the fiercely competitive world of luxury wedding photography, standing out means more than simply capturing beautiful images. It requires vision, consistency, and a deep understanding of human connection. Few embody these qualities as fully as Yurii Holiak, founder of Holiak Photography, who has risen to become one of America’s Top 30 Wedding Photographers, as recognized by platforms like Wezoree, WedVibes, and MyWed.
With a career spanning over 13 years and more than 500 weddings across 16 countries, Holiak’s work is a seamless blend of raw emotion and refined editorial aesthetics — a signature style that’s earned him a place among the most respected names in the industry.
An International Journey of Vision and Style
Yurii’s journey began in Europe, where he spent over a decade mastering the craft of photography. Working across diverse cultures — from Greece and Italy to France and the Maldives — shaped his adaptive eye and taught him to see the beauty in real moments, not just poses.
“Every culture brings a different kind of love, energy, and visual language,” says Yurii. “That perspective is at the heart of everything we do.”
Upon relocating to the U.S., Yurii quickly expanded his portfolio and client base, bringing his European elegance to cities like Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and San Francisco. His accolades include being a multiple-time finalist and winner of Wedding Awards in Europe and Russia, and a consistent top-ranking photographer on international platforms.
Holiak Photography: Where Artistry Meets Emotion
Under Yurii’s creative direction, Holiak Photography has grown into a boutique brand known for delivering premium, highly personalized service. The studio’s elite team — including lead photographers Kate, Vas, Luc, Ana, and Nicole — each bring over 10 years of experience to the table, and together, they’ve covered weddings in destinations such as Canada, Spain, Switzerland, Seychelles, and Mexico.
Their specialty? Combining candid, unscripted emotions with the sophistication of fashion photography, creating wedding albums that feel like editorials — but are entirely personal.
Whether shooting a luxurious vineyard wedding in Napa Valley or an intimate ceremony on the cliffs of Santorini, the Holiak team creates work that feels timeless and cinematic, yet deeply authentic.
A Client Experience That Feels Effortless — and Elevated
At the core of Holiak Photography’s success is a commitment to white-glove service. From the first consultation to the final image delivery, the team curates every detail — helping clients feel confident, relaxed, and inspired.
“We treat each wedding as a once-in-a-lifetime story,” Yurii explains. “Our couples trust us not just to photograph their day, but to preserve their emotions for generations to come.”
Clients consistently praise the team for their fast turnaround times, clear communication, and an ability to blend seamlessly into weddings of every culture — including American, South Asian, Jewish, Persian, and European traditions.
And for select cities in the U.S. and Europe, Holiak Photography offers complimentary travel — bringing world-class service to couples without compromise.
The Signature of a Global Storyteller
Yurii Holiak’s rise is more than a success story — it’s a testament to the power of passion, artistic intuition, and cross-cultural storytelling. His brand, Holiak Photography, is now synonymous with luxury, emotional depth, and timeless elegance, serving couples who want their memories captured with both heart and style.
“We don’t just photograph weddings. We capture love stories in their most honest and beautiful form — no filters, no faking, just the real thing.”
