Our Style
Wedding Photography + Cinema
We shoot with purpose. A balance of raw moments and artful composition. Every frame clean, crisp, and timeless.
This style isn’t by chance. We crafted it to give our couples the best—luxury wedding photography at its finest.
Details matter. Light, shadow, the way a hand lingers, the glance before a kiss. We don’t just capture the day. We capture its soul. Your photographs won’t just tell a story. They’ll hold the feeling, forever.

Yevhen
My name is Yevhen Gulenko. I take photographs and make films. My wife, Julie, and I started Human Artist Photo + Cinema to capture wedding days as they are—real, beautiful, and fleeting. Over time, we built a team to do it well.
I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2002, I came to the U.S. to study. Now, I am a husband and a father of two boys who keep life full.
I used to think my purpose was to be great at what I do. To master it. But life is more than a single goal. The small moments matter. A quiet morning. A laugh that lingers. Light catching just right before it fades.
Passion drives me, but I don’t let it take the joy of simply living. Fulfillment isn’t in success alone—it’s in the living itself.
I take cold plunges. I make music. I lift kettlebells and read. But more than anything, I tell stories with a camera. If you have one worth telling, I’d love to hear it.
Julie
My love story with photography runs parallel to my love story with Yevhen. Just two weeks after we met, he asked me to join him on a wedding shoot. I had never even touched a camera before, but I was head over heels and unwilling to turn down the chance for the next “date”, so I said yes!
That first wedding together was absolutely magical! I was taken by the limitless beauty and celebration that accompanied this lifelong commitment to love, as well as all the traditions that made this Ukrainian-Romanian wedding day unforgettable over a decade later.
I’m now a wife, a mom, and a degree-holding opera singer. And my love for wedding photography has only grown stronger through the years. Loving on our wild and curious little son has made me more detail-oriented than ever amidst the bustle of the wedding day. Serenading restaurant patrons and theater-goers on the weeknights has encouraged me to focus loads of attention on the beautiful atmosphere we build throughout the performance. Then, as I step out of the house on Saturday morning to assist Yevhen, I aim to capture that special wedding day energy from behind the camera, while ensuring that everyone in front of the camera is feeling cozy and having the time of their life!
