Maria Grinchuk

Next to the venue, choice of photographer was the most carefully thought-over decision of the day. We could not have been happier with Maria’s work. Even before picking her, I went through her online portfolio and could not find a single photo in there that I didn’t like. Maria is an incredible artist, she has a great eye for color, shapes, posing and details, and you will get gorgeous photos looking like a magazine spread. She is also dedicated - she spent time meeting with us leading up to the day, attended our rehearsal to scope out the venue, and worked tirelessly during the event to capture each and every moment (with her second shooter). Here is one last anecdote I can offer to illustrate how committed she is to capturing everything. At the end of the night, we had closed the dance floor and already paid the final balance to Maria. I had forgotten to tell her that I wanted one picture on the set of rustic stairs, so, not wanting to make her unpack her camera, I simply asked a friend to snap a quick phone picture for me. Maria saw this, and to my surprise, pulled her camera back out of the bag to grab this shot (which of course turned out beautifully). I highly, highly recommend her to any prospective couple, just go through her portfolio and know that the quality of her work speaks for itself!

Maria was amazing. She did a great job, we felt relaxed and very comfortable in front of the camera. And we love our photos so much! I highly recommend Maria.

We hired Maria for our engagement photos - needless to say, we were very impressed. She made everything very fun and comfortable for two people who does not know how to pose what so ever. She even incorporated our dog into the photo which was a bonus :)

Although I wasn't able to book Maria for my wedding day, I still see myself coming back for other photo sessions in the future.
