I am a photographer myself, and so this review is strictly from a "photographer evaluating a photographer" viewpoint.

I have had several opportunities to converse with Oleskandr and get to know him as a person. Although I am not thoroughly familiar with Oleksandr's work, I am giving him 5 stars in all categories because of his kindness and professionalism. These two qualities are very intertwined for me. I do not believe that a person can be a true, quality professional if he/she is arrogant and selfish. This is because a selfish person only strives to do what is best for him/herself, while a kind person considers other people's needs and wants. A good wedding photographer MUST care about their client. Think about it--if you are a couple that is looking for a photographer, would you rather hire someone that only cares about his paycheck, or would you want someone that cares about YOU too?

Oleksandr has shown great kindness to me by helping me with my own photography business. There was absolutely nothing that he would benefit from by doing this, yet he put in his time to help me out. If, therefore, you are to be his client, I am sure he would care about you too.

I feel like I should also say why I am writing this post. Today I have spoken to two photographers that have shown a character that is opposite to Oleksandr's. They were selfish and arrogant. Even though they have received much help from me, they were unwilling to return the favor. Without going into details, I would just say that they were very selfish. Very frustrated with these people, I remembered about Oleksandr and some of the other PROFESSIONAL photographers and decided to write about it here.

I highly recommend this photographer

Oleksandr is an exceptional photographer, his work is unique and original!

We did our engagement pictures in September. The setting was definitely comfortable, it felt casual, and for someone who dreads pictures, it was lots of fun and very enjoyable. I absolutely loved the fact that we didn't have to pose for our pictures, they were very natural. It makes the pictures much more special if they actually reflect who you are, and without a doubt, Oleksandr did an amazing job capturing just that.

He was very flexible when we originally set up an appointment to meet. He brought all his sample work, explained how his packages work, and answered all of our questions. Overall, he was very professional, very friendly, and his prices are relatively reasonable. Highly Recommended!

Oleksandr does amazing photography!! He is very talented and I did not regret one bit hiring him for our weddig. The images we are left with are beautiful. He really captures moments with his camera. He was a little pricey, but definitely worth it.
I love our wedding pictures..:)
