Eyll was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. From our first conversation I knew she understood the type of photos I wanted and she more than delivered. She captured my wedding day beautifully with so much attention to every single detail and was so much fun to be around. I cannot recommend her enough!

Eyll is a wonderful photographer and I recommend her highly. She photographed our son's wedding at the height of the pandemic when covid restrictions made it an especially challenging task. She created a beautiful portfolio of photographs that ranged from the formal to a more documentary/natural style. And, she worked incredibly hard. We recommended her to our niece who was equally delighted with her pictures. We couldn't be more delighted.

I booked Justy photography for a trip to the Potomac region of Maryland and Virginia. My experience with Eylul was without question one of the best interactions with a photographer I've ever had. She had no problem getting to the venues and her professionalism was second to none. She is a brilliant, kind-hearted young lady, and her ideas for photos greatly exceeded my expectations as she had some brilliant ideas for angles (not to mention her ability to master the lighting). She even took photos of the wildlife upon my request! She was absolutely fabulous and I cant say enough good about my experience

Eylul and Justy Photography truly created a NIGHTMARE for our family. Eylul was the primary photographer for our wedding, and she lost all of the photos she took prior to the ceremony - bride getting ready with her mom and bridesmaids, first look with her father, portraits of the families - moments we will never get back. She has claimed that the memory card was damaged, got a quote to repair it and recover the photos but refused to do so because of the cost, and she will not provide us the memory cards to allow us to pay someone ourselves to recover the photos. It is that last point, and the completely

Ive worked with Justy Photography for several years now in many different areas of the photography industry. Most recently Eylul, the owner photographed my wife and we couldnt be more pleased the with photographs. She was patient, kind and delivered more photographs than we expected. Definitely a five star experience and we happily recommend the company to friends and colleagues.

She is very good at what she does. I first worked with her in 2017 when she did our engagement shoot and again in 2019 for our maternity shoot. She will definitely be doing the shoot for our prince when he arrives. Thanks Ellie for being responsive and giving good ideas. Can't wait to see my maternity shoot photos
