Ilya is a phenomenal photographer. He had so many great ideas - we realized afterwards that he must have scoped out our venue the day before in order to come up with some of the great shots - and he was responsive to any of the ideas we came up with. The quality of the photos was also exceptional. He's truly an artist, not just someone who knows how to operate a camera. I honestly cried more when I looked at the photos than during the actual ceremony! He was professional, polite, personable, and, most important, extremely talented. I can't say enough good things about Ilya.
