    Amazing to work with, even better photographs!

    Marina shot the photos for our wedding in Sunriver, OR on 7/15/23. I can’t say enough about how wonderful her and her assistant did. Marina made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Interacting with Marina is seamless and not once did I feel she was pushy. Her photos turned out extremely professional! We love them, and we feel lucky to have worked with her.

    Professional and patient

    Marina was so kind and patient with our party and family. Her photos turned out excellent and she was so easy to communicate with. Marina made it easy and simple to get all the photos we wanted and to facilitate our family (and some rambunctious kids) for some great portraits. There was no stress around the photography. I can't recommend Marina enough!

    My fiance and I just booked with Marina to do our engagement pictures and we are so excited to work with her! She was so fast in responding to me when I contacted about doing our pictures. So far we have been so pleased with her professionalism and flexibility. Her pricing is also very reasonable. We are so excited to see how our pictures come out. I will post again once we have done our pictures, but anticipate having a great experience working with her. So excited!

    Working with Marina was amazing! She was so easy to work with and answered all of our questions promptly. She also took the time to really get an understanding of what we were looking for and what we hoped to capture on our wedding day. I have a very big family and she was so understanding and patient in capturing numerous shots with all of the different groups of family. The final product was just perfect! From the digital files, to the completed album, there was so much thought in every detail that was presented to us. Marina's passion for photography really shines through in the finished product. So thankful to have these wonderful snapshots to look back on in the future. Would highly recommend working with Marina!

    We can't say enough about how great it was to work with Marina. She is extremely helpful, responsive, and amazingly talented. I knew as soon as I spoke with Marina that we had nothing to worry about - she had it covered. Marina helped us map out our schedule, determine placement of things, and helped us through the whole process with such grace and understanding. On the day of the wedding, she was an absolute joy to have with us as a big part of our special day (as was her second shooter), and in the end we have the most beautiful photos to show for it. The aesthetic of her photography was absolutely perfect for us, and we couldn't be happier. They're beautiful!

    Marina was above and beyond the photographer we were hoping for, gracing us with not only her talent, but her comfortable style that made the wedding day photos a calm and joyful experience. The results were stunning photos that we will cherish for our lifetime. We feel lucky that we scored this super talented artist, and her assistant was also very great to work with. I can't recommend them enough.

    We were lucky enough to have Marina photograph our engagement and wedding photography. She is a passionate film photographer, and will hands down make you the most beautiful portraits of you and loved ones that you've ever seen. She absolutely understands photography, light, and how to make a beautiful image... and this is the most important element of hiring a wedding photographer. We are so grateful for her sweetness, and the beautiful memories she's captured for us!

    My husband and I hired Marina for our wedding ceremony and reception photography last summer in Portland, OR. From our very first meeting we knew Marina was the right photographer for us. Her personality and photography style are very romantic, simple, and organic. She was incredibly fun to work with and made us feel awesome on the big day. She is an absolute professional---very reliable, organized, and direct. The best perk was the beautiful wedding album she helped us put together. We loved all the photos so much, it was hard to narrow down the choices, so Marina helped us out and we are so pleased with the results! I love looking at the leather-bound album with her gorgeous photos of our wedding day. I couldn't recommend Marina enough!

    My fiancé and I had no idea where to start when it came time to choose a photographer for our wedding. After one meeting with Marina we had no doubt that she would be a perfect fit for us.

    Marina was very helpful with planning and coordinating. She was very flexible and able to accommodate our schedules.

    On our wedding day Marina did a fantastic job. We did all of our pictures before the ceremony and she was able to keep everything running smoothly and on time.

    Neither my husband nor I enjoy having our pictures taken. Marina did a great job of making us feel comfortable and relaxed with everything. She was able to take charge and tell us what to do, how to pose, etc. That was exactly what we were looking for.

    The best part about the whole experience is that our pictures were fantastic! We could not have asked for a better experience. If we had to do everything over we would choose Marina again in a heartbeat.

    Marina was a joy to work with - so professional, so flexible, and so reassuring. My husband and I decided to have a destination wedding in Bend, and Marina could not have been easier to work with.

    Marina's personality is lovely, and she immediately puts you at ease. I felt extremely comfortable having her with my family and friends all day.

    Most importantly, I love the photos that Marina captured on our special day - the photos are so warm, and so well done. My only regret is that we didn't hire her for a longer period of time!

    Marina photographed both our engagement session and wedding and she was wonderful! She was very easy to work with and made the entire process simple and fun. Not to mention her photographs are BEAUTIFUL. I would recommend her to anyone of my friends looking for a photographer for their special event.

    I can't recommend Marina Koslow enough.

    Throughout the planning, the day of, and the follow-up, Marina made me and my husband feel extremely special, like we were her only clients. And on the day of the wedding, Marina and her assistant set our family and friends at ease, capturing some wonderful candid moments--moments I would never have imagined to ask for, like my grandmother's hands holding our wedding rings. I was also extremely pleased by how unobtrusive they were--specifically, in capturing the ceremony without taking away from the moments.

    And yes, her photos are gorgeous. Utterly and completely gorgeous. From the tiny details, to the big picture, the people, to the emotions of the day--Marina captured it all and the photos simply sing. She's truly made our day, from start to finish, into a piece of art we will always cherish. I honestly don't know how I was so lucky to have found her.

    Marina was WONDERFUL to work with for both our engagement shots and wedding pictures! She does truly lovely work and we were blessed to have discovered her. We know that we will cherish these photos for a lifetime. Marina has an eye for the details and is very sensitive to your time and what you've envisioned for your day. Also, she got us our wedding pictures back in just two weeks, which is incredible! Marina and her work are fabulous!

    I can't say enough about Marina's amazing work. My fiance and I originally did our engagement photos with her and had a great time. I highly recommend "auditioning" a photographer with engagement pics because it gives you a chance to get to know them and offer any feedback before your wedding. We loved our engagement photos, but had a few small pieces of feedback (warmer tones etc.) for Marina which she took in stride and changed for our wedding day.

    Oh the wedding day. Marina was amazing!!! She was so fun and relaxing and totally blended in with our family and friends. She never got in the way. Everyone who was there commented on how sweet and flexible she was. And the photos! The photos were incredible. I am pretty sure she made our wedding day look better than it did in real life. She had AMAZING setups for our posed photos (including lugging a couch into the woods for us!) and captured so many gorgeous candid and detail shots. Honestly, I feel like she was one of the best decisions of our entire day! One of my friends even considered flying Marina down to the Bay Area for her wedding after she saw our wedding photos. We love her!
