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.
Choose me as your wedding photographer and you will get dramatic and timeless magazine-worthy portraits, candid moments and classic storytelling that will become your family heirloom. You can see my favorite wedding photographs here. Each collection includes coverage by two photographers, a handcrafted leather wedding album, an engagement portrait session and an online gallery.
My wife and I (and our respective families and many of our guests!) After a brief Facetime call, we were convinced that Iryna was the right choice to shoot both of our weddings. She's funny, kind, easy to talk to, and was extremely willing to work with us. She's also clearly a professional-this isn't just a hobby for her, and our wedding wasn't going to be "just another wedding" for her to shoot.
It is truly important that I work with the right couples who value photography and my creative skills and because of this I do not take every wedding that I am approached about. You deserve the absolute best! That is why it is so important that you make sure Iryna Shostak Photography is the right choice for you.
The romance comes in waves when you get married at Atlantis and Coral Ballrooms at the Days Hotel Tom River. This gem of the Jersey Shore provides couples the opportunity to enjoy a beach wedding while avoiding the elements in a venue noted for offering daringly distinctive wedding services with a unique flair.

Iryna was absolutely the best photographer, and we are so happy with her work! From the beginning of booking her and experiencing her work for the first time during our engagement shoot, we knew we chose the right person for our wedding. She made us feel comfortable and confident, always making us the priority and focusing on our needs and wants. Our wedding day was everything we imagined it would be. Iryna played a huge part, ensuring she and her team captured every detail.
She worked hard and fast. You wouldn't notice her but if you intentionally watched, you would often catch her running to the next spot, standing, laying, and more, just to capture the best photo. Her hard work did not go unnoticed, even from the guests at our wedding who commented later on her work. Finally, we worked with Iryna to design our wedding photo album and absolutely love it!
She was patient with the editing process and helped to ensure the layout was orderly and looked right. We received our album, and it is beautiful! We would highly recommend Iryna for your photography needs; you will not be disappointed!

Iryna is truly a professional at what she does. Her talent is beyond words and her work speaks for itself. My husband and I were lucky enough to find her and book her for our engagement photos and our wedding. We were at a loss for words when we got back our wedding photos. Not only did she give us back our photos SO quickly, they were absolutely stunning. Iryna loves what she does, and she truly cares about all of her clients.
She would call and text us to check in with us throughout the year leading up to our wedding. She is very detail oriented and made sure she knew all of the details for our wedding so everything could run smoothly. Her wedding style is unlike most photographers you see now. She doesn't do any crazy/weird trendy editing, where your pictures look either too light and washed out or too dark.
She has a timeless photographing style which makes you look like YOU on your wedding day. Our pictures truly look like they could be in a magazine (and all of our family and friends told us this!) I know we will still look back at our pictures 50 years from now and see how timeless and gorgeous they are. Thank you SO much Iryna for all of your hard work that you put in to capture the most stunning photos on the most important day in my life. You are amazing!

The best photographer around, by far! Iryna was with us for our engagement up until our wedding and we will definitely be using her in the future! Our wedding photos were returned to us within a week and they were phenomenal. We got so many compliments! Would recommend Iryna Shostak Photography to anyone!

This is a different type of review but I hope it will be helpful! I'm a wedding videographer and I recently had the opportunity to work with Iryna. She was a pro that brought a sense of calm to the busy 14 hour day that were covered. I'd highly recommend using her if you want amazing photos and to work with a kind human.

Iryna is an absolutely amazing photographer! She is extremely pleasant to work with, takes stunning photos, and provides high quality pictures that are beyond compare. Iryna recently did a family wedding and we chose her based on her unmatched artistic photography portfolio. Although we had extremely high expectations going in, she was as amazing as we hoped!
Her photos beautifully captured the day and created amazing artistic images that we will treasure forever. To helping guests pose, to figuring out angels and lighting, Iryna does it all to ensure the wedding couple received photographs they will be delighted with! I highly highly recommend this photographer!

Our wedding was the most magical night of our lives. The biggest joy we have in remembering our night is our absolutely stunning photos taken by Iryna. Iryna was pivotal in making our night a total fairytale! Not only do I now see Iryna as a trusted friend, but I am also able to appreciate the raw talent that lives within her. Iryna took the time to get to know myself and my husband thoroughly.
She laughed with us, cried with us, and captured every memorable moment with elegance. We recently received our wedding album which brought us both to tears within seconds of turning the cover. We look forward to forever using Iryna for any of our photography needs. We will never see photography the same. Thank you, Iryna, for being a rockstar and making our day all that it was!

Iryna is professional, talented and so kind. Her photography style is so unique and can really turn your pictures into something magical. She makes sure she gets the best shots and lighting and always takes her time to get the best shot. If you need a photographer, just book her everything was so seamless.

Iryna is such an amazing person and a stellar photographer! She photographed our wedding in Philadelphia and everybody in our families were pleased with her service. Luba captured every precious moment of our big day and looking at our breathtaking photos makes my eyes wet. We ordered the luxurious wedding book and now it is our family heirloom which we proudly show to all our family and friends. We have such a great connection with Luba and she became our friend. We plan to hire her for every major family event and definitely recommend her to all our friends!

Iryna was absolutely incredible! She worked so hard to make every detail perfect. We couldn't believe how many shots we got; she didn't miss a thing! Our guests were so impressed with how dedicated she was to get the perfect shot. I don't ever recall her ever taking a single break. Our guests mentioned how professional she worked throughout the day and evening.
Family and friends enjoyed all interactions they had with her (which was very important to us). She came early and stayed late to ensure that we were 100% happy with our pictures. I love how comfortable my husband and I felt with her immediately. Iryna is amazing at creating relationships with her clients, we felt like we were old friends! I had so much fun with her as we walked around Asbury Park searching for the perfect spots to shoot.
She had our photos ready for us within two weeks and would send us shots every few days (I LOVED that). We both look forward to using her again in the future. We highly recommend her. Thank you, Iryna!

I knew I wanted Iryna to be my wedding photographer after just looking at her sample pictures. After seeing so many traditional boring pictures I saw Iryna's beautiful artistic grand pictures and I was sold. She was so friendly and easy to communicate with. She owned the wedding day and made sure she got every picture in a beautiful way. She met up with me and my now husband twice to find the spots for our 1st look pictures.
She got us our pictures so fast after the wedding and we cannot wait to get our photo album! Every picture is like art and I want to frame everything. Truly cannot give her enough praise. Worth every penny.

I am very happy that we could trust our special photo session to such a wonderful photographer as Iryna Shostak. To tell you the truth, I was very worried about the forthcoming photo session; I was worried about how I would feel, whether I will feel comfortable. She really is a professional with many ideas which were easily put into reality during our photo session.
We felt very good and relaxed during the session. Our photos turned our emotional and expressive, they told of the happy moments of our lives. We recommend Iryna Shostak as a photographer to everyone.

Iryna was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She gave us the gift of our wedding memories, and it is a gift that keeps on giving! We still cannot get over how beautiful all of our engagement and wedding pictures came out. During our engagement shoot, Iryna helped us get comfortable and used to the posing for pictures which really helped when it came to the wedding day.
She really tried to get to know us and understand our goals for the wedding day. Iryna was the MVP of the wedding day. Our entire family loved her! She had a great, positive attitude that kept our long list of family group photos moving along with ease and fun. She really listened to us and captured all of the pictures we wanted, while letting us enjoy the day with our family and friends.
We love every picture that Iryna took on our wedding day. So much, that we put about three quarters of them into our wedding album that Iryna so beautifully designed. She also created smaller versions that we could gift to our parents. Iryna was able to catch the magic, happiness, love, and fun from our wedding and our family cannot be more grateful.

Iryna Shostak is an outstanding photographer. She won our hearts as soon as we meet her. You feel how passionate she is about creating stunning images during the wedding day. She is very organized, we filled three questionnaires before the wedding day so Iryna knew exactly what we value and where was the main focus at the wedding. We met personally for creating a wedding day timeline and she explained us how much time we need ideally for every stage of the day. Iryna arrived one hour early even though we didn't pay for it.
She created magazine-worthy beauty portraits of us which we put on our walls. It seems like she was everywhere and captured lots of precious moments we even didn't know happened at our wedding. After the wedding we got our pictures after a week, she probably didn't sleep at all in order to retouch all +1500 images from our wedding in such a short term.
Each image was perfect and we wanted to use all of them in our wedding book. We ordered 100 pages luxurious hand-made album with an acrylic and leather cover. It is a masterpiece! We love everything Iryna Shostak created and do recommend her service to everyone who values photography!

Iryna captured our wedding beautifully! I can't thank her enough for how the photos turned out. She and the second photographer were able to capture our crazy and wild families perfectly. We also received our photos (over 1200 of them) in such a timely manner! I was expecting to wait 3 months or more but that definitely wasn't the case! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer or photographer in general.
Her prices are great for the services she offers. I would definitely travel to have her do our family photos in the future even though we live in Virginia. Thank you so much!

Ira is an amazing photographer! My husband does not like being the center of attention and when I told him we were having engagement photos done he became very anxious however Ira made him feel comfortable and her excitement reflected onto him. The photos for our wedding and our engagement shot turned out perfectly and Ira was even able to capture moments when I had no idea she was around to even capture.... truly special. Thank you Ira.

I’m so grateful for Iryna! I’ve worked with her for multiple projects and she has produced amazing images each and every time! Just a month ago, she did my wedding and blew me away! My husband, family and I are beyond satisfied and I’m actually just having a hard time choosing which ones to print and hang around the house! Lol! Thank you Iryna!!

By far the best photographer I have ever worked with! I have worked with Ira twice so far for photoshoots, and each photo has turned out absolutely stunning. Ira is very talented, creative, and most importantly, passionate. With every shot I could see the excitement on her face as she ran up to me just to show me how the picture turned out. Ira is very professional, and does her job with due diligence. I would highly recommend her for your wedding day or engagement pictures!! I cannot wait to work with her again!!

Ira is AMAZING! I wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else for my wedding. We found her through another company and I was so in love with her work. She does an amazing job at capturing all of the important moments and details in everything that she does. We did our engagement shoot with her as practice for the big day and I was SO happy with how our photos came out.
I was able to reach out to her at any time during our engagement leading up to our wedding with questions or ideas that I had for photos and she was always so sweet and quick to get back to me. She has such a creative eye for photos and they always turn out STUNNING. I love the subtle detail that she captures and how she is able to also create amazing and dramatic looking photos as well.
Worth every penny. Trust me.you want to work with Ira for any of your special events! I hope to be able to work with her again in the future! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ira, for giving me the sweetest, most beautiful memories of my wedding and engagement. two of the most special times in my life so far! :

I have worked with her multiple times and she's fantastic. She's so hardworking and dedicated and she will do anything for a great shot. She's also a wonderful location scouter she's always got the best locations for shoots. This woman is a blast to work with but she is also very professional, I've never gotten a bad image from her. Thank you for all you do and continue to be awesome!!

Working with Iryna has been a dream! She is sweet, nice and super caring. She takes the time to know you as a couple. She is open to questions and she would give you advice for anything you need during your wedding planning process. The fact that she takes the time to know you, mixed with her personality, only makes things easier when it's time for pictures; you feel at ease, confident and she will make sure you look perfect during the shoot. In addition, Ira has an amazing eye for angles and broad creativity while shooting which will give you a unique experience!
