About

Mind On Photography is a wedding photography service in Boston, MA. The team focuses on the real story—no forced poses, fake smiles, or awkward moments, just stylish photos of the genuine you! That means the process is fun and easy, while the outcomes are works of art that preserve the authentic, sweet moments of your special day.

Based in Massachusetts, our principal photographer, Ivan Djikaev, brings over 10 years of experience as a fashion photographer to wedding photography. Which, combined with another more than 10 years in wedding photography (and over 300 weddings!) results in wedding photos worthy of a magazine spread.

We’ll hike a mountain with you, photograph private vows at sunrise on a remote beach or capture the pure joy of a dance floor filled with your favorite people. Take a look at our style, learn more about our experience, scroll through our reviews and test us out with an engagement session before the big day!

Do you want your photos to look like a Vogue shoot?

Ivan is a genius. He has an impeccable eye and his attention is second to none. What bride doesn't want her photos to look like they are straight out of Vogue magazine?? Ivan shot our wedding 8 years ago and we continue to use him for our press and publicity photos. Ivan is a joy to work with, funny, sharp and you don't have to know how to model to get gorgeous photos out of him. It is truly an honor to shoot with him.

Mind On Photography is Awesome!

My experience with Mind on Photography was great! Ivan was the photographer for my wedding and he was exceptional. He was very patient, friendly, and a genuine person. You can see that he is very passionate about photography. He made our day even more fun with the pictures and captured every moment. Ivan also delivered our wedding photos very promptly and they were beautiful. I highly recommend Mind On Photography for any occasion.

Saved Our Wedding & Breathtaking Work!

Ivan with Mind On Photography was absolutely amazing for many reasons! First off, we needed a photographer for a holiday weekend for my wedding and reached out with not much time to spare and he answered right away and took our event which gave us such relief! It was also a hot and extremely humid day and he did what he had to do to get all the photos we needed outside and inside no matter the obstacles (including our crazy families!)! He was so sweet and so easy to work with! He got our photos back to us faster that we expected and they were absolutely breathtaking! If we ever have another event with the need for a photographer, we will certainly be reaching out to him, no question! I would most certainly recommend him and his company to anyone for any event!

Excellent!

I was referred to Ivan by a friend who had used him for their wedding and I could not be anymore pleased! The pictures came out phenomenal! It was nice to see that he also captured the small, sweet moments of the wedding as well.

Unique and Gorgeous Photos

Ivan was an amazing photographer!! He had a clear vision and wasn't afraid to try new things to capture unique and gorgeous moments of my partner and I. He wasn't pushy and was able to be involved without being overbearing. He was also open to any ideas and suggestions that my partner and I asked for. He was prompt with the photo edits which we greatly appreciated and loved. They came out more stunning than we could have imagined. He captured both the large and small moments that made the night memorable. I would absolutely recommend Ivan Djikaev's Mind on Photography for any event that you want photographed!!

Amazing Pictures

Picking Mind on Photography was the best decision when it came to my wedding photos. Ivan went above and beyond. He was professional and personable. After scheduling my wedding day, due to circumstances, I had to have my wedding ceremony and reception on two separate days. Ivan made sure to come to both events. The pictures of the wedding ceremony were gorgeous. During the reception he caught perfect moments on camera. I would recommend Ivan to anyone and everyone. We will definitely be calling him for future events. Thank you again Ivan for the great memories!

Great service, state of the art pictures!

Ivan was truly amazing to work with. We live in Montreal, QC and met Ivan on our wedding day on Cape Cod. He is such an easy going and fun person to be around and the most important thing is that his photos stend out. We basically didn’t consider other photographers when we saw his portfolio. Recommended!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
